"It's so funny how I am not in the least bit worried. Are you?" I said to Emily.We had been walking for quite sometime, going in the direction we thought we could find a gem. We had said nothing the entire time until I spoke."How about you keep quiet and let me concentrate" she replied stiffly.My gaze went to her and I watched her body language, she was...trying too hard. I didn't want to worry but her actions were worrying me. I said nothing after that.It wasn't long before the smell of Alphas hit me and quickly stopped. I placed a hand on her shoulder and sighed, letting her know someone new was not too far from where we were. She nodded in acknowledgement.We became stealthier as we moved admist the trees and the wet ground. The smell of petichor helped camouflage us from them, but it couldn't hide them from me.We moved closer and hid under some bushes and watched them. I looked around and only saw four wolves guarding their gem, nobody else was there.I quickly tried assessi

"Noooooooooo......" Mitchel's mouth was saying the words but I was not hearing.The sound of their gem hitting the ground added to the ringing in my ears and my eyes were becoming hazy. My wolf was awake and she wanted to play.Fuck.Emily was out of Teresa's hands and into mine in an instant, I cradled her head between my arms as I bent low and laid her on the ground. I didn't know if she was going to make it at this point or not, it looked very bad."And the winner of this year's class team fight is Alpha One A!" Shouted Commander Matt on the microphone. Shouts and screams of the viewers reached us but for me it was nothing, it was all background noise.My eyes were riveted on Emily, trying to find out if there was a lot of damage and if I should get help.I scooped her up in my arms and ran towards where I thought the entrance had been. I found the elevator open and got in as fast as I could. It automatically closed and took us up back to the centre of the arena. I was out and ru

The alarm sounded and I ran as far as I could to the farthest edge of the arena, I leaned on the glass and watched as some of the fights ensued. Gunshots rang as one of the players pulled out her glock guns. And everybody spread far away from the bullets.I looked up just in time to see the sharp edge of a sword aimed at my head and I swiftly got out of the way. A very young looking boy stood in front of me with the uniform, I would have thought an audience got lost and ventured into the arena if I hadn't seen him being introduced as one of the representatives or if he wasn't wearing our uniform.He had a cold dead look in his eyes, he was ready to kill if possibleI had nothing to defend myself with from his attacks so all I could do was dodge as fast as I could. I felt a tear in my arm and looked down in shock, that split second of distraction was good enough for him to tear through my skin and I fell to the ground with a grunt.My tissues were not healing as fast as they should,

We formed a long line. I stood at the forefront with Emily right behind me, and then the rest of the class followed. We managed to keep several inches between ourselves right until the last person.I looked at Jonathan, indicating that we were ready. He said nothing, just stared at us point blank.Okay then.One of the other commanders did us the honour of timing us, and off we went.I started immediately and Emily followed, one after the other until the whole class had formed a long line. I heard snickers and laughter from the other students that were watching us. We looked very ridiculous and we knew it."What do you mean to protect the foreman?" Asked Emmanuel when I had told them my plan earlier."I have never heard that before," said Mitchel thoughtfully."Yes. It's a baseless theory figured out one time, but I think it's a solid idea and what time to test it if not now?" I shrugged.."Okay. Say it one more time. Maybe it won't sound as ridiculous the second time" said Bryan."W

The remainder of the season went past until only a few weeks were left for our final examinations. It was easy blending from going to classes everyday to going to the library to read and gym to train.The academy was everything I had ever dreamed of and more, I got to be the young teenager in college who had friends that she cared about and people that she didn't. Who had classes to go to every morning and hurried to prepare for it, sometimes early, sometimes late. Who had a dog, that was fierce and beautiful, but who reminded her constantly that this life that she was living was temporary, and that she would one day have to leave and be what she was meant to be. The co-owner of cerberus. A Queen in hell.I hardly liked thinking about King Hades and the impact he was going to be making in my life, I chose to ignore it and push it to the farthest part of my mind. Letting myself enjoy the snippets of goodness and beauty that I had right now, because it would all go away when he finall
