Team 7 New Novels & Stories

Without any hesitation, they agreed to it, but I was definitely not buying their approval. Currently, I'm stretching my body along with my peers getting ready for the competition which was in less than 30 minutes. Turns out the team that we are going against were Liam and his friends from his university. I didn't know he was into football because he had never told me anything about football before. I'm surprised when I see Liam wearing his jersey for the football competition. The competition was about to start soon, and the crowds were coming in to watch the competition and I could not help but be nervous about who was going to win.

Diamond Lennox didn't seem too enthusiastic about me playing football. Or maybe he didn't like that I was on the same team with Karl. Or maybe the little reminiscing we did down at the cellar shook his mood. Anyways, I tried not to care. I was handed a blue t-shirt with the number, 7, body written at the back. There were always enough shirts printed in different sizes just in case anyone decided to play; just like I did this year. Since I was on the blue team, the ever competitive Jeremy was the captain. We huddled up in one corner as he began to dish out instructions and talk tactics.

"I don't know. Other than these groups, there are also Team 19, Team 23, and Team 25 here." Eli said as she counted her fingers, "So that means that there are seven groups and seventy people here. Does that mean that we have a chance to get all the flags?" "It's not that easy. We are in a deadlock now. I've got only the flag of Team 3." Eli was surprised, "How did you manage to get their flag?" "The Commander of Team 3 was eliminated yesterday. Their team members wanted to get their flag back, but I got hold of it first," Sean told her.

But that was never what I wanted! Zachary clutched his swollen face in silence as he listened to my rebukes. Just then, I heard someone clapping. Connor put out his cigar before resting a hand on my shoulder, saying, "I expected nothing less from the team lead of our medical relief team. You've got a backbone, alright.

Even the two members of Team Vulture had never met David, so they did not know each other. The only people in Team Vulture who had seen David were Number Nine and Captain Lucas Brown. Moreover, David's performance was so strong that they all felt he should be the backup prepared by Somerland. Dragon Seven looked at David's back. This man was very young, but his strength was terrifying. He was also not one of the ten members of parliament. Who was this? A bolt of lightning flashed across Dragon Seven’s heart. Could it be that… he was the eleventh newly-added member?

I'll give him 'til the end of lunch and then I'm kicking his ass until he tells me what the hell is wrong with him. The others didn't seem to notice, but that could be because everyone was so tensed up about the move we were about to make. Not to mention all the new players on the field. This would be the first time the seven of us have worked with nonmilitary unknowns this closely on an Op.

A deep, smooth baritone filled the speakers—a voice I would recognize anywhere in the dark. It was Axel. *"The Sterling Design Group is vulnerable,"* Axel’s recorded voice said, cold, calculated, and entirely corporate. *"Wait until she’s desperate. Then we move."*

The guard studied me for a long moment. Then he reached for his radio. I stood at those gates and I did not fidget and I did not look away and my wolf stood straight inside me for the first time in seven years. The radio crackled. The guard looked up.
