Chapter 0262


    We make it to the elevator, Oscar and Iughing and Xander being dramatic saying if the guys find


    out that I have been having these kinds of conversations with his mate, they will find some way to


    torture him.


    We step out to a crowd simr to yesterday morning, just less formalities. I still get the stares from


    the people who have decided I am a threat, but don’t know what to do with that since I am never left


    alone.


    A few people I don’t recognize from the meetings yesterday are here. Based on build and the way


    they stand they must be guards or warriors of some kind. I wonder why they are all here?


    Alpha Reggie and Luna Anne have already stepped up into the buffet line, they seem to be waiting


    for us, I hope they haven''t been waiting long, I didn’t even bother looking at the time. We make our


    way towards them, Xander not acting like we arete at all. I am a nervous wreck, I am not


    someone who keeps the King and Queen waiting.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    “Nice of you to join us, Xander, Skr, Oscar.” Alpha Reggie says polite enough, but the undertone


    is exasperation and amusement rolled together. He at least knows what kept the boys, and I am too


    chicken to say anything to correct his assumption.


    We move through the line quickly, saying hello and acknowledging people as we go. When we get


    to the head table, I am sitting between Oscar and Xander. Clearly there is some potential for threat


    against me. This is really frustrating, I just need to fight in front of these people and then they won’t


    mess with me. On second thought though, these idiots would probably think it’s rigged so it wouldn’t


    matter. It’s so stupid.


    Unlike yesterday though, people are milling about throughout breakfast and severale to the


    head table to talk, mostly to the King and Queen, but to Xander and I too. A female warrior


    approaches. I only know because she has the same training gear we are required to wear on the


    Elite Warrior grounds. She can’t be much older than me and she looks fearless, like Sierra on the


    warpath for the perfect dress. She walks straight to me.


    “Did you really take on the whole warrior team at trials?” She asks without even bothering with the


    formalities of introductions. It wasn’t an aggressive or usatory question either, she really is just


    curious.


    “I, umm, I actually don’t know, really. I don’t even know who or how many I went up against, it’s kind


    of a blur.” I look to Xander, maybe he knows the answer.


    But before he can say anything arge man I vaguely recognize walks up behind her and ces a


    hand on her shoulder. “You’ll have to forgive my daughter, you have be something of a legend


    amongst the warriors around here. She doesn’t believe me when I tell her what you were able to


    aplish during your trials.” Heughs and she doesn’t even pretend to be offended. “Skr, this


    is Wilhelmina, my daughter, and may I say your wolf is an amazing fighter. We learned a great deal


    from our time with you at trials.” He inclines his head to me.


    “Thank you, I appreciate that…” I leave the end of the question hanging since he didn’t introduce


    himself too.


    “Jeremy. I hope to train with you again.” He smiles warmly.


    “And you can call me Mina. There’s no reason to go throwing that mouthful of a name around.” She


    smiles at me. “But really, do you know how many people you actually fought against? The rumors


    are all over the ce and no one wants to offend you by asking you outright.”


    I knew I liked her straight away.


    “Honestly, Warrior Osiston would be the best person to ask, I really don’t know how many


    opponents I had. I have been told I went against the most though.” I shrug trying to give her the best


    answer I can.
