Chapter 0028
“Well, thank you for the absolute destruction of our fragile egos, but we have a date after all of that
and Oliver has some lunch to buy us.” Sam walks up and puts his arm around my shoulder.
“Actually there''s another ss.” I say biting my lip, looking as apologetic as I can. “But you guys can
go, I’ll catch upter.” I have no intention of chasing them down at all. I feel like this little friend
bubble we have been in for thest 12 hours is about to break.
“How many more sses are we talking?” Sam leans back to look at me. “I am slowly dying from
lack of food here.”
“You should have eaten before we came, like a normal person.” Sierraughs at him.
“I was unaware of the team breakfast at the beta house to satisfy the ridiculous amount of exercise I
would be subjected to today. How many more Little Bit? If you’re here, then we’re here so you can
stop making us look pathetic.” Heughs.
“The next ss is a basics ss for beginners and non-warriors just to stay sharp and in shape. It’s
less intense than the rest of the training, but I think it’s super important. It runs for 2 hours. Then
we’re done for the day.”
“Remind me to never, ever, ever rise to your challenge again. I’m going to die.” Sam walks off to
grab his water bottle as the rest of the guys, the Luna and Sierra allugh at him.
"I''m pretty sure I didn''t challenge anyone." I say to no one in particr.
Basic training goes better and as we all walk through correcting form and technique, I can see the
current leaders watching us again with curious and hopeful expressions on their faces. They even
come down to do some of the exercises with us, which is a rare thing. They don’t normally have
time to intermingle casually like this. I think it’s great for the pack members that are here. If anything
the looks on the pack members faces is totally worth the full interruption of having all of them here.
The slow stretching and body weight exercises are great for our newer, younger fighters and our
older fighters who want to stay in shape. We work on dynamic and functional movement, building up
muscle memory so they don’t hesitate in an unfriendly situation.
Even though the training is light for us we are all still a sweaty mess when we are walking out of the
arena. “Should we go home and change before we eat?” I ask noting I probably look something
close to a drowned rat that''s been run over a couple times.
“Not a chance Little Bit, get your sweaty ass in the truck and for the love of my sanity somebody
feed me!” Sam growls out. “Martha won’t care, when she hands Oliver the bill. I’m going to eat one
of everything on that menu. You guys are going to have to roll me out the door.” Everyone is
laughing now.

Mateo, Oliver and Sam jump in the back. Sam basically hauls Sierra in and on hisp with a lot of
protesting on her part. Dakota picks me up from behind and slides me into the center of the front
seat like I weigh nothing as Cameron jumps in and fires up the truck. Is it weird that after all of that
working out and sweating, I am not at all bothered by the smell of these boys? Collectively, it''s a
musky scent that is all male, but not bad by any means. I, however, am sure that I wreak.
Another five minutester and we are pulling into the local diner. The guys must be regrs
because they didn''t even wait to be seated, they walked straight back to an extrarge corner
booth. I somehow ended up between Cameron and Oliver making me notice my small size. I look
like a toddler next to all these guys and I can’t help butugh.
“What?” Cameron asks.
“Some situations make myck of size very apparent.” Iugh again pointedly turning my natural
line of sight to the middle of his bicep then looking up at his face, then doing the same to Oliver.
Everyone else joins in.
“Would you like a booster seat, I’m sure they have one around here somewhere?” Sam asks.
“Nope, I’m good. It would be my luck to fall out of it.” I blush. Everyone chuckles at me again.
