Chapter 0278


    Mina and I look at each other. I know I am trying to contain my excitement, by the look on her face


    she is too.


    “So what does that mean for us? What are we doing exactly?” Mina asks.


    “You will start training with our recon team. We have a very specific way that we gain and ry


    information. We need to make sure that you are able to work within our formations and understand


    all of our calls and codes.” Nicks looks serious, letting us know that he’s on board with this but


    wary at the same time.


    “We also need to get you branded.” Alpha Reggie begins. “It’s for your safety and our peace of


    mind. The elders voted ‘no’st night when we proposed it, but we will approach them again. Now


    that we have solid proof that female wolves are being stalked and taken, it’s less of a choice as it is


    a duty now. These untrained, unwilling girls are being taken and we don’t know for what purpose.


    But, you both need the brand so we can track you if something goes wrong.”


    “And when ites to the Rogue King, we expect it to go sideways.” Nicks mutters loud enough


    to be heard by all of us.


    A flutter rushes through my stomach at the thought, but I don’t think it’s fear. Is it crazy that the


    thought of being captured excites me a little? What does that say about me? Oh Goddess, I am


    nuts, but I don’t feel bad about it at all.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “Can we start training with the team even if we aren’t branded, while you are trying to convince the


    Elders to allow our brands?” Mina asks. I was too far ahead of the game in my mind. We need to


    start first.


    “I think that would be wise. The Elders will be brought to reason, but we can’t dy. They could


    move at any time and we need to get into one of their locations.” Osiston says. “You will no longer


    be doing your regr daily training. You will both join our team for overnight training beginning


    today. Your school schedule will remain the same and we expect you to keep up your work, but you


    will not be required to do evening training so you can rest before joining the team again. The team’s


    mission and your roles in it are ssified.”


    We both nod when he doesn’t continue.


    “Report to the front of the dorms tonight at 8pm, we will take you to the team from there. Make sure


    you eat before you go, there will be no other time for that once training begins.” Nicks says in


    that serious voice again.


    I’ve never heard him like that in our other training sessions. But maybe it’s because this is real, not


    training or a demo.


    “Once we know more about the branding we will let you know.” We both nod again. “You may go.”


    Alpha Reggie dismisses us.


    We both stand quickly and move towards the door. As soon as we’re across the threshold they all


    begin speaking and not really all that quiet.


    “We are setting them up, why would we do that?” Nicks''s voice carries.


    “I agree they don’t belong on this mission, but we have no other choice. We know what he’s after


    now.” Osiston’s voice answers, clearly bored with this line of thinking.


    “So we’re just going to give them what they are looking for on a silver tter?” Nicks barks back.


    The door closes before I get the chance to hear anymore of the conversation. Nicks clearly


    doesn’t want us on this mission. I thought we got along, were even bing… friendly isn’t the


    right word, but maybe we have a mutual respect, but I guess we aren’t ready enough for him yet.


    Which makes me angry and has me worried all at the same time.


    I bust my ass in training, I know how to fight and defend myself against all of the best warriors here.


    I am getting better at the submission game we have been ying. But if he’s worried we aren’t


    ready then maybe we are missing something. He spends the most time with us during training


    sessions and knows our skills well. He doesn’t seem like the type to hold anyone back, but we are


    different being younger than everyone, in my case a lot younger.


    We head back to the dorms and our shared room. I was so excited when I was told we were going


    to be roommates. Audrina, of course, was pissed. I think mostly because we were moved to the


    guys side of the hallway into the floor leaders suite. Wyatt gave up the suite and moved next door to


    an empty room happily.
