Nineteen.

Today, I was asked to join training practice. Apparently they would usually wait until after the full moon. But because I had shifted, Nate wanted me to learn how to protect myself.

It was all he said to me this morning.

Lola reassures me as we head over to the grounds. “Alpha Nate has already warned everyone that if you get hurt there will be big trouble.”

“Trouble?”

“For them, not you. Plus Mason’s on duty today and no one wants to feel his anger either.”

I must have looked worried because she adds. “He can be worse than my brother.”

“Shouldn’t they be dealing with the dead?” I whisper and she shakes her head.

“Already done. Besides, right now, it is more important that you can defend yourself.”

Mason was standing with a group of people. Farrah was there too. Her braided hair was wound up in a bun on top of her head. She was wearing the skimpiest workout ever. I was pretty sure if she bent over, her boobs would fall out of her bra.

“Elsa, Lola. Glad you could both make it.” Ma
