Chapter 0072

I’m at the training grounds so early, not even Delta Kyle or any of the other training warriors are

there yet. I start running laps at a nice leisurely pace to keep my mind from wandering.

“Seriously?! Now you’re beating me to morning training? Where are your extra large shadows, still

dragging themselves in?” Delta Kyle laughs at his own joke and I just stare at him in disbelief.

“I actually wanted to ask you something before everyone else started showing up, I just guessed at

what time you got in.” I lied on the spot, I couldn’t tell if he believed me or not. “I wanted to ask

about the elite warrior training. Some rumors are flying around already and I am curious.”

He crosses his giant arms over his chest and lifts an eyebrow at me. Definitely doesn’t believe me,

but now that I brought it up I really am curious. “Is it true they are holding trials because of the

amount of applications they are receiving?”

He stares at me and takes a deep breath before nodding his head.

“And are they letting Juniors and Seniors join the trials for exposure? Will they choose any current

students if they are good enough?”

Both eyebrows shot up at that. “Who did you get your information from, that was just a discussion

we were having yesterday, nothing is set in stone about age restrictions.”

My eyes go wide. I didn’t want to get the two warriors in trouble for gossiping about something that

wasn’t confirmed yet. “I was at the gym yesterday and heard a couple of guys in passing, that’s all. I

figured I would check the information with you. Is the Alpha King really going to attend some of the

trials?” I cross my arms over my chest mirroring the Delta, trying to look calm and curious but I am

sure looking like a pouting child next to him, instead of a hulking warrior.

“Maybe, we do have some guest trainers today, so it will be interesting to see what they think about

all of you.”

Before I could ask anything else people started filing in the large arena. We moved to the biggest

space today because we were going to be fighting human to wolf. Not quite half the group could

shift, but all the highschoolers were going to work in groups with a warrior. The warrior was going to

be in wolf form, we were all staying human. Once we learn these basics and get comfortable, then

they will start letting those of us who can to shift and reverse the training.

I didn’t even have a chance to look around for a group to join when Sierra walked up behind me,

linking my arm with hers and dragging me over to the guys who were in a back corner, looking

disappointed.

“You didn’t wait for us this morning.” Sam tries the pouty lip and I just look at the ground.

“Are you still mad at us? Cause I am running out of ways to apologize for the little stupid things and

everything else is just going to take time. I don’t think any of us can handle you avoiding us Bite

Size, while we make up for literal years of stupidity.” Oliver taps my shoulder.

I just shake my head, keeping my eyes down. “I’m not mad, but it doesn’t just go away.” I sigh and

rub my temples. “You have to remember I have been in basic isolation for most of my life, you guys

are kind of a lot to handle all the time. Don’t get your panties in a twist when I need to not be around

you, and be okay if I don’t tell you why.” I shrug, it’s as honest as I can be right now. I am avoiding

them and will continue to separate myself from them, but it’s going to have to be slow so they don’t

notice the change I guess.
