Chapter 121
“We first want to thank Alpha King Reginald and Luna Queen Anne and their son Prince Alexander
for joining us this week for Elite Warrior trials. It truly is an honor to be a host pack and I know all of
our young trainees have had an amazing time with your warriors. I know they are all excited to put
their new knowledge to use. It was also nice to have some friendly neighboring pack training,
everyone involved learned a great deal and I wish you all luck in your placements with the Elite
Warriors.” A polite amount of clapping follows.
Alpha Reggie follows up with congratulations to all who participated in the trials, stating his trainers
have been left with some tough decisions to make. ”
We are also excited to see the young leaders at the training grounds here in a few weeks. Now that
I have seen how much they have grown and what they are capable of here on their home turf, I
can’t wait to see them challenged again this summer. I may have to rethink some of our strategies
seeing your young warriors train.” He chuckles and everyone else follows suit before Alpha Lucas
finishes.
“We are here to not only celebrate the end of the trials and their success, we are celebrating the
end of the year, with many of our graduating pack members moving onto great and successful
careers and our own future leaders heading into the next phase of their training. With their
departure following the mating ball next weekend we want to wish them well and good luck on their
journey this summer. And from the sounds of it, they will need all the luck they can get.” More
laughter follows. “Please eat and enjoy yourselves, our pack has much to be thankful for.”
With that, both Alphas sit down and look, relieved maybe, that the formalities are all over. I look
around at the crowd milling about. This is what I imagine parties for the guys to be like, people
crawling everywhere, standing room only and a constant humm of conversation. The buzz is almost
palpable.
It’s a weird sensation and I find myself smiling again for no reason other than I’m included this time.
“Sky, come sit with us.” Luna Ava calls me over. “We are all dying to hear about the trials. I was so
excited to see your wolf out, she is so beautiful and she has definitely gotten stronger since the last
time I saw her.”
I moved into the chair she offered me and just smiled at the compliment. I didn’t know what else to
say.
My wolf is just purring in my head at being called beautiful and strong. “She has grown since I’ve
gotten her. I wasn’t sure if that was normal, or if she still needs to grow since I got her so early. I
have meant to ask Doc T in anatomy or maybe Mr. Lyons in history what they think.”
“T don’t know if I have ever heard of a wolf growing after they show up, but maybe you’re right, you
got her very young. You are going to be a force when you are fully trained, based on what I have
seen over the last two days.” Alpha Reggie says.
I just smile again. I don’t really know what to do with all of these compliments. Before I have to
really come up with anything though, a plate is placed in front of me and Kota kisses the side of my
head before sitting down next to me. Another plate is placed next to that and Cam kisses the other
side of my head then moves to sit across from me. I I look to my left. “Dakota, what is all of this?” I
figure I would make a point of naming them while they are on this social experiment thing.
“We didn’t think you would ever get a chance to eat, so we brought a little of all of your favorites.”
Then he looks at his brother. “She’s still the only one.”
Cam says across from me.
“Only one, what?” Luna Ava asks with an eyebrow raised.
‘‘She’s the only person who can tell us apart, when we look exactly the same, don’t speak and give
no hints.”
Kota Says.
‘‘She’s the first person to call us by name since we came downstairs dressed the same. It’s actually
kind of funny.” Cam adds.
“You can tell them apart like this?” Luna Ava looks impressed, gesturing to the twins. “Even I have
trouble sometimes. Especially when they are purposely trying to be difficult.”
“Yes. I can’t believe you two are still on this topic, but to be fair there are a bunch of things that set
them apart, if people pay attention. I keep telling them that. And thank you for the food, I am
starving.” I say, becoming a little annoyed that they don’t believe me.
