I give him a small smile. “One of them got me in the leg. My first rogue bite, definitely don’t need that to happen ever again.” We both chuckle as we go bumping over the terrain, back to the pack hospital. The guy sitting in front looked worse by far. He was pale and his head was bobbing around like he didn’t have the strength to hold it up. What happened while I was fighting off the one rogue? I really needed to learn how to fight my opponent and pay attention to my surroundings at the same time.
There wasn’t a lot to do once we were there. I had already completely healed, so I really just needed a shower, which Doc Sylvia allowed me to do in one of the treatment rooms after I gave her a blood sample. I have no idea why my blood is so interesting to her and she never explains what she is doing. She even took a sample of the blood that was on my skin, I assume from the rogue. I should be more suspicious, but I can’t seem to find any animosity or bad vibes from her, I trust her like I do SIerra. We’ll see if that’s smart or crazy. I think she is just naturally curious and has her own questions to answer and if I can provide answers for her so be it.
It was time for dinner when I was finally able to leave the hospital. Luna Anne and Barty were there to take me back to the castle.
As we drove the short distance a thought occurred to me. “I thought I would be going back to the training compound tonight. Shouldn’t you just take me back and let me eat dinner there? They would be just finishing training by the time we got there. I really shouldn’t miss any more mandatory trainings, it’s starting to look like favoritism.”
I keep my focus out the window as I say it. I don’t want to see their reactions. It’s no one else’s business what I do or don’t do outside training and if the Alpha King requested anyone else to attend functions they wouldn’t bat an eye, but it’s me and everything about me and my presence here has been against every rule that has been set in place. It doesn’t matter how many times I prove myself, I’m too young to be here, didn’t go through the rituals with them, and have aNôvelDrama.Org content.
connection with the royal family that no one understands because they aren’t privileged to that information. I’m back to being the freak. I take a deep breath and do my best no to sigh too loudly at that thought.
“Not tonight Little One, we have things to discuss and you were an integral part of the fight today, your insight is needed as much as Ocsar and Mina’s.” Luna Anne said calmly, but I heard a note of something there, disappointment maybe. But what was she disappointed in? Me, the fight, having to keep me at the castle? Maybe I was a bigger burden than she thought. I’ll have to talk to ALpha Reggie about getting me back to the compound tonight, no matter how late it is. I don’t want to inconvenience them any more.
We pull into the garage and I am led back up to the floor with all of the conference rooms, only this time the doors are thrown open and loud voices can be heard from the stairs at the end of the hall. I look at Luna Anne then Barty, but neither acknowledge me, just keep walking, stoic expressions on their faces. We walk into the largest conference room and the round table is full of Elders and Alphas with guards and their mates standing close by.
“We should have been told there was a potential threat to us coming here. You are taking liberties with our lives. That could have been any one of us out there today, attacked and rendered useless to our packs.” Alpha Sharp from the Shadow Pack shouts at Alpha Reggie and I feel an instant urge to defend him.
