    “It feels so good to run!!!” Val cooed excitedly after wepleted our 4th) and finalp.

    By the time I shifted back into my human form, I was panting and breathless. I quickly ran to the side of


    the field and put my clothing back on. Most wolves were used to being naked around one another. It


    bes second nature pretty quickly growing up because when we shift, we have to do it naked, or


    we will ruin our clothing.


    Most packs have chests of clothing in the woods in case we have in shift in the woods, but we aren’t


    opposed to being naked around one another. However, that didn’t mean I wanted to stand around


    naked while waiting for my ssmates to finish theirps.


    Sarah was the next to finish theps and went to fetch her clothing as well. I hadn’t spoken to her about


    joining themittee yet; I suppose I had to do that soon because our first meeting was only a few


    hours, away and I’d like her to be a part of it.


    Ba said she recruited one boy from her werewolf history ss, Luis. I’ve seen him around campus,


    and I’ve often seen him studying with Ba in the library when they are about to take an exam. But I


    wouldn’t say I was super familiar with him. However, Ba said he wanted to join themittee and


    be a part of something important, and plus, we needed the members, so I wasn’t going to deny him.


    Brody mentioned that there was someone on his football team, Matt, who might join as well. I guess I


    just had to wait and see if he showed up. But I knew Matt was a bear, but also very strong and pretty


    good at school as well. He was also a guy that all the girls went crazy over. He might be a good


    addition to themittee and bring it some poprity.


    I was excited for our first meeting tonight; now I just had to hope that Sarah would join us. If not for us,


    then for Brody.


    I already sent out a group text for those I knew were going to attend the meeting to meet us in room


    210 of the academic center. I spent all morning nning out this meeting with Ba and we already


    have a few future projects lined up.


    I wished that Rachel would have joined us to help us n for tonight’s meeting, but she’s been acting


    strangetely and said she had something to do. But she never borates on what exactly she has to


    do.


    Brushing the thought out of my head. I approached Sarah once she was fully dressed.


    “Hey,” I said, stepping beside her.


    She was watching the other students run the rest of theirps and she nced at me with a


    questionable frown.


    “Look, you don’t have to pretend to be nice to me just because we are keeping each other’s secrets,”


    she muttered, folding her arms across her chest.


    –


    “I’m not…” I was about to say but then I stopped myself and took a steady deep breath. “I wanted to


    invite you to join the studentmittee.”


    She raised her brows and looked like she was about tough in my face.


    “Even if I wanted to join your st upid little clubs, I’m not allowed, remember? Grounded,” she said,


    rolling


    and turning back to the other students who were just finishing theirps.


    Her eyes

    “Actually, you can,” I said to her, turning her attention back to me. “I already talked to Headmaster


    Prescott and decided it might be good for you to learn to work as a team.”


    “And work as a lesser version of you? No thanks,” she scoffed.

    “Don’t you want to make up for what you did to the students? They don’t trust you right now, Sarah.


    You broke that trust and traumatized a lot of them. You told me you were going to apologize to them;


    this is a good way to prove that you are different and that you truly are sorry.”


    “And what makes you think anyone else would want me on themittee?” She asked, furrowing her


    brows together. “Like you said, they don’t trust me. I traumatized them.”


    “You have to earn that trust back somehow,” I said shrugging. “Headmaster Prescott said you can be a


    part of themittee and learn to work as a team and deal with working under my authority. But you


    can’t participate in any school activities yet. It was the best I could do for you.”


    She was quiet for a moment as she stared at me.


    “Is this your way of getting me back?” She asked, pressing her lips firmly together. “Making me work


    under you?


    “If you want to look at it that way, then that’s fine. But in my eyes, it’s a way you can give back to the


    school after you took away their free will and their memories. What you did was awful and it’s going to


    take a lot for them to trust you again. This is a good way to start,” I said, shrugging. “If you decide you


    want to join themittee, you cane to our first meeting tonight and I’ll give you the form to fill out.


    It’s in room 210 at 8 pm.”


    “8 pm? Why sote?” She asked.


    “We have a vampire on themittee, and it works better for her,” I answered.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    This time, Sarah didugh, but it was dry and humorless.


    “You convinced a vampire to join the studentmittee?” She asked, “How’d you manage that?”


    “Actually, she wanted to join. She wanted to make a difference and show the school that she isn’t just


    looks,” I answered. Then I leaned in closer as if I was telling her some juicy secret. “It’s Skr Bat.


    As in-


    “The Bat Fashion Franchise?!” Sarah gasped, finishing my franchise. D


    I nodded in response.


    “Yeah, she’s kind of a big deal and she joined themittee,” I said simply. “It’s pretty cool.”


    I knew I was saying this stuff to convince her, but I also truly meant it. She nced down at her yoga


    pants.


    “I’m wearing their sportswear,” she said, and I could feel her growing excitement. “I knew their daughter


    went to this school. But vampires are rarely seen.”


    “I know,” I said in return. “So, can I expect you tonight?


    She was quiet for a moment, the excitement in her simmering.


    “Why do you want me there so bad?” She finally asked after a short silence. “Why do you want to help


    met after what I did?”


    Now it was my turn to fall silent as I thought about how to answer her. I decided to just tell her the truth.


    “I don’t.” I answered simply. “But Brody does, and I trust and value his opinion.”


    Her cheeks red red, and she quickly looked down.


    “I’ll just tell him that you’ll think about it,” I said, turning away from her. She said nothing as I walked


    away. from her to join Ba who had just finished dressing in her clothes.


    “Did you ask her to join themittee? Ba asked.


    I nodded.


    “I guess we will see if she shows up,” I said, shrugging. “I did what I could.”


    I nced at Enzo who was watching me intently; I could see the worry that was in his eyes, and I


    wondered if it was because he overheard my conversation with Sarah. I knew he didn’t trust ber either,


    but I needed him to trust me on this. So, I gave him a bright smile, and he soon retumed it with a small


    smile of his own and then a wink before he turned to the other students who had just finished theirps.


    Enzo looked so, good standing in from of everybody that I could hardly keep my wolf in check. He wore


    bagging sweatpants and kept his shirt off, showing off his incredible body and his mouth-watering abs.


    He had some scarring on his chest from past battles that hadn’t fully healed due to the silver weapons


    used, but it only made him look extremely manly.


    I wanted to rub my hands all over his body: just the thought made heat re on my cheeks and my


    heartbeat rapidly against my ribcage.


    Everybody got with their partners, Enzo was my partner. As he approached me, it took everything I had


    not to throw myself into his arms.


    We both got into our battle stance, and I was the first to attack. We always started in our human forms.


    Enzo was fast and dodged a lot of my attacks, but I also managed to dodge most of mine.


    Last year, he used to go a bit easier on me, but when he returned this year, I asked him to not do that.


    So, now he goes much harder, and I really appreciate it.


    It felt like it’s been so long since I felt his hands on my body and feeling him touch me at this moment


    sent heat to course through my body. He lifted his hands so I could punch each hand with my fists as if


    we were training for a boxing match.


    “I’ve been wanting to talk to you about something.” he said in a low tone for my ears alone.


    I nced up at him, not wasting any time in punching his hands.


    “I’m listening.” I said, proud that my voice didn’te out squeaky.


    “It’s about Rachel..” he said, making my entire body freeze.


    I looked up at him, meeting his very concerned eyes.


    “What about her?”


    Chapter 268 She Was Here Watching


    He nced over to the far distance of the battlegrounds with a frown, and I followed his gaze to the


    distant bleacher; they were empty. I looked back up at him with a curious frown and he met my eyes.


    again.


    “She was here,” he said. “Watching.”


    My heart fell into my stomach upon hearing his words. I didn’t have to see her to know he was being


    truthful; I believed him wholeheartedly.


    I didn’t have to say anything, he spoke again, and his question sent a nervous chill down my spine.


    “Have you noticed anything strange about hertely?”
