Chapter 0209


    I wake up feeling just a bit lighter and I want to talk to Sierra about what Lillian said at dinner. I’ve


    never actually talked about my scars to anyone or what they could possibly mean. I race to get


    ready and head down to the kitchen to grab a snack from Ste.


    I’m actually excited for school, which is a first. I normally would take training over sitting in a


    ssroom any day, but I really want to see her. It feels like forever and I need to talk to someone


    about anything other than training, but especially about yesterday and everything with Audrina.


    I skip the golf cart and just walk to the school. I left with plenty of time not wanting to run into


    Audrina in the morning. School gave me almost an entire day without her and I would take


    advantage of that wholeheartedly.


    I walk up to the old building, still in awe of the structure, head in and toward my locker. Before I can


    even finish getting my things together Sierra runs up behind me and hugs me around the neck.


    “Man, I miss seeing you everyday! There has got to be a way that I can see you more often, this is


    terrible.”


    “I am allowed to have people over to study. I just have to get the days and times cleared first, but


    that would be great though.” I turn and hug her back. “And I have news for you.”


    I gave her the quick version of Luna Anne’s letter and told her I would send her pictures of all the


    dresses I tried on so she could help me choose. We debated whether I would see Xander at the


    dress fitting or not since all of the guys were supposed to be at training.


    She said she hasn’t heard from Sam since I was released from the hospital and the Luna Queen let


    her call the guys and let them know that I was okay. That is my only reservation about being here,


    the istion from my friends. Even though I would have been kept from them anyway while they


    were training, there''s onlysted through the end of the summer, mine was going to be years.


    “I wonder if you could write to them?” Sierra muses as we reach her ssroom. “At the very least


    you should be able to write to your brother. That way you could check in, I’m sure they miss you too


    and are worried. You had just barely started talking to them again when you were attacked.”


    “Ugh, don’t remind me. I feel terrible about the way I treated them and then we were all just


    separated.”


    “Don’t you feel bad about that! They deserved it and karma decided to give them a real kick when


    you were attacked and then whisked away in the middle of the night. None of us even got to see


    you. You were just gone.”


    “Really? I don’t remember any of that. I remember the beating loud and clear and then I woke up in


    the Royal Pack hospital. Nothing in between. Osiston had to tell me how long I was unconscious.


    Your parents did a ton of tests on me, but wouldn’t really say what they were doing or why. I really


    should talk to them about what they were looking for.”


    “They didn’t say anything to me. It was all really quiet actually, now that you say something. But we


    aren’t talking about that right now. Tell me more about your meeting with the Luna Queen, what do


    you think she will have for you?”


    We spent the rest of lunch talking about dresses and what happens at the conference. I could care


    less about dresses and was trying to formte a n to get Sierra to this dress fitting with me, her


    and Luna Anne could go nuts and I would just stand there like their life sized Barbie doll. I also


    wanted to just hang out with my friend. We aren’t in any sses together and I just see her in


    passing. I bet Luna Anne would be alright with it though, I just don’t know how to reach out to her.


    Can I just write a letter and hand it to someone? That seems weird, but probably my best bet. I’ll


    have to remember to ask Nicks today when I get back to the bunk house.


    “She should put you in burgundy.” I am pulled out of my thoughts back to Sierra’s dress musings.


    “Why burgundy?”


    “Jewel tones are your friend, girl.” Sierra’s friend Renee says as if that should bemon


    knowledge. I guess stuff like that is to them. “You could actually get away with wearing just about


    any color. Your blonde hair picks up every tone and you are so tan, I’m jealous by the way, every


    color would just be highlighted.”


    “I can’t believe you get to escort Alpha Prince Xander. I heard he has refused to take a date to any


    function for like thest three years.” Molly chimes in. I have learned that she is good for urate


    gossip. She loves the drama, but does her homework and digs down to the root of all the things


    being spread around. It doesn’t hurt that her doll face just invites you in and she genuinely listens to


    everything people say to her. “How did you get so lucky?”


    “Not sure really. We are friends and I’m here in the pack now so it would be convenient. I’m also a


    warrior so it’s an addedyer of protection for him since he is starting to train and learn the Alpha


    King’s role. I’m sure there are plenty of vipers out there trying to get his attention or force a chosen


    mate connection. It’s kind of sad really. He doesn’t always know who his real friends are and who


    just wants to be near him because of his title.”


    “And you just want to be his friend?” Renee asks, skeptical.


    “Of course. I have never been the boy crazy type, so anyone who isn’t my mate really doesn’t


    interest me like that.”


    “Are you kidding? Have you seen that boy, er, man? He is huge and drop dead gorgeous. Are you


    telling me you have never thought about what it would be like to be with him?” Molly sputters.


    “No, not really. I mean he is very handsome, anyone with eyeballs can see that. He is actually fun to


    talk to and just hang out with though. I have had the opportunity to do that, but I don’t think I could


    be his mate. She would have to be someone impressive to handle all the different packs in their


    needs and wants. The Luna Queen’s job is so hard, I don’t think I would be cut out for that. So


    nothing else really matters, right?”


    “You are far better than I ever could be. If he gave me the chance I would jump him in a heartbeat


    and not regret a second.” Renee has us allughing now and we finish the rest of lunch specting


    on all things Prince Xander. It has been so long since I have felt this light and free of worry or


    anxiety. I am d that Alpha Reggie made me continue with school. Nicks was right, there are


    just teenage things I need to experience before Imit to adulthood.N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.
