Chapter 0232
“Hello Miss Skr. It''s nice to see you again. | hope your week was enjoyable.” Barty gives me a
genuine smile. He''s not just asking because it’s his job and it’s a nice feeling.
“It was great! Training is hard, but that is to be expected.
It''s like nothing else I''ve ever done before. | like the challenge.” He holds the car door open for me
and allows me to get in first before sliding next to me.

“I''m sorry Alpha Prince Xander couldn''t join us this morning.
It wasn’t for ack of trying though.” He winks at me. “The Luna Queen has him attending all of the
meetings today and he needed to prepare."
“If he will be in meetings, why am | needed so early? | thought | would be assigned to him for the
day, but he surely won''t need an escort or protection detail inside a meeting room, will he?"
“Oh, my dear, you don''t know, do you?"
“Know what?" I''m nervous now and there isn’t much that makes me nervous.
“You are attending all of the meetings today as the warrior liaison. You will be asked for your input
on pack training, protection, border patrol and all other things rted to pack safety. Did the Luna
Queen not tell you?” His eyebrow is raised like he knows the answer to that question already and
this whole conversation was nned out. - “Uh, no. | was not told | was going to be speaking to
Royal Pack Elders on matters of pack safety and security. My first question is naturally, why me? I''m
only fifteen, who in the hell is going to listen to me? “ My eyes go wide for a second.
“Sorry for the outburst, it’s not your fault. | don''t like being blindsided and this is being blindsided on
the most epic level.” | can feel my pulse quicken.
“You have a unique position. First you are top of your ss, in everything, if my information is
correct. Meaning you''re smart and can handle deep in depth conversations. Some of our smartest
scientists can''t do that.”
He gives me a side nce. “You are also in our Elite Warrior training program, meaning you are
exceptional on the battlefield, again making your unique perspective valuable. You also managed to
tear holes in a safety n that our best warriors came up with only a few years ago, using a patio
table, utensils and drinking sses and zero practical knowledge of the area you were nning for.
To say that the Alpha King and his lead warriors and strategists were impressed is an
understatement and they would like to pick your brain more after giving you ess to real maps
and schematics."
“Oh, sh*t!" | pped my hand over my mouth. “Are you serious? | have nothing prepared, what am |
supposed to say? Are they going to just gril me with a ton of questions?
What if | say something stupid or something they''ve already tried and hasn''t worked? That''s a ton of
pressure. And What about Xander? | thought | was assigned to him like some kind of protection
detail. What am | really doing here tonight?"
“In a way you''re not wrong, you do provide an extrayer of protection for him, but not the way you
think. We have plenty of warriors for the royal family’s protection, but most attendees are not dumb
enough to try and attack at a function like this. Xander is in a unique position right now, he is 22
years old and hasn''t found the Goddess given mate that will produce the next heir. So, naturally
many of our Elders and even some pack Alphas are trying to convince the Alpha King to force him
into a chosen mate situation.”
I nod my head, starting to understand. After What the Alpha King told mest weekend, | know why
Xander is holding out
"With you by his side, a strong, smart, female warrior and being underage, the royal family can stall
a little longer on the chosen mate push from the Elders. You do have a job to do and being friends
with the Alpha Prince is helpful, he will naturally want to spend time with you.
And if the Elders start to think there is more and begin spreading rumors along those lines, none of
us will stop them.” He shrugs and smiles.
