Chapter 31
AMELIA’S PO.V
I was having the most blissful dream about being in an ethereal garden with a beautiful horizon and
water as bright as crystals. I don’t remember exactly what I was doing but then I started to hear
ra’s voice. At first I was so confused and I looked around hoping to see her but she was
nowhere to be seen. All of a sudden, I woke up and the remnants of my dream were washed away
by the awareness of reality.
I looked around for ra thinking she was in my room but my room was empty and my door was
still shut. I began to think that I had imagined her voice in my dream when. suddenly I heard her
voice as clear as day in my head.
“Wake up,” she said over and over again and I was confused for a few seconds.
I thought I was imagining it all when suddenly yesterday’s events settled in my brain and I
remembered that Kaden added me to the mind link. I let out a sigh of relief when I realized that I
wasn’t actually going crazy.
“I’m awake,” I responded in my heads I wiped the remnants of sleep out of my eyes and I nced at
the clock on the wall. It read 5 a.m. and I stared at it in confusion. “Why did you wake me up so
early? Is something happening today?”
I was scared that she would give me bad news. I tried to remember what happenedst night and if
I had done something wrong. When I got back from the office with Caleb, I ate lunch and told
everyone how my first day went then ra and I did the dishes and I retired to my room and didn’t
come out again until dinner.
Dinner was practically the same as lunch. We ate and talked and then I retired back to my room.
Are they upset that I didn’t stay out to talk with them after eating? I could feel my heart pulsating as
my brain conjured up the worst case scenarios. Whatever remnants of sleep had disappeared as
the anxiety that threatened to swallow me whole took root.
“Nothing is happening, rx,” she told me with amusement dripping from her tone. “Training with
the kids starts in an hour and if you want to join them, then you up and get ready.”

I let out an audible sigh of relief. “Thank you for waking me, I’ll be out soon.”
I cut off the mind link with her and instantly rushed out of bed. Through the curtain I could see that it
was still dark out but it did nothing to dissuade me and in record time I had taken a bath and gotten
ready for the day. I got dressed in a pair of ck leggings and a grey tank top. I didn’t want anything
that I would overheat in but I also wanted something decent since I would be around children.
Once I was dressed, I checked the time and it was 5: 20. I made my way out of the room into the
living room. I wasn’t expecting to see anyone except ra awake but Devin was at the dining table.
There was a cup of coffee in his hands and when he heard my footsteps he turned to face me. I
gave him a small smile as I made my way over and he pushed a te of eggs to
an empty seat for me and I smiled up at him.
“Thank you,” I said as I started to wolf down the eggs but he waved me off as if to say it wasn’t a big
deal.
“You’re off for training right?” he asked and I nodded. “Well your car came inst night so you can
take it. You can’t miss the training ground; I’ll describe it for you.”

I listened intently as he exined how to get there and when I got into my car, I prayed that I
wouldn’t make a wrong turn. As I drove silently, I prayed under my breath and when I finally saw the
training field in front of me, I let out a sigh of relief.
I checked the time and there was still ten minutes to spare. I got out of the car and made. my way
into the field. As I got there, I noticed a familiar figure hunched over and setting out some training
mats. He heard my footsteps and turned to me and I was shocked to see Ronald from the repair
shop. He seemed surprised to see me too but he smiled.
“Hi,” I said to him, “I didn’t know you were the coach.“.
“ra told me that you wereing. You can just wait over there; most of the kids will be here
soon. Just so you know, you’ll be training with ten to fourteen year olds. ra said she informed
you but I have to tell you again.”
“It’s fine,” I assured him. “I don’t care who I train with as long as I get trained.”
He nodded and went back to what he was doing and I noticed he had a slight limp. I decided to look
away and sure enough, a few kids started to appear with their parents. Most

of them stared at me brazenly but a few looked away. I could tell they were curious about me but
none of them made a move to speak about it or say anything.
Once it was six on the dot, Ronald stood to his feet and started the training. At first we ranps and
I could see the shock on the children’s faces as I started running with them but still, none of them
said a word and judging by the looks they kept shooting at Ronald, I was sure it was because of
him. By the time we were done running. I was winded but most of the kids looked like they were
used to it and some didn’t even break a sweat.
After, we had martial arts training. I couldn’t spar with any of the kids as I was a lot bigger than them
so I sparred with Ronald. At first I was worried because of his limp but it turned out that even with
the limp, Ronald could best me. When he pinned me on my back for possibly the third time, I heard
a child snicker and Ronald shot him a death re that had him quieting immediately.
We finished around 7: 30 and parents started to pick up their kids. I saw a few of them give me
weird looks and I couldn’t help the embarrassment that creeped up my cheeks. I didn’t want to
encounter them in the parking lot so I made my way over to Ronald and decided to help him pack
up. I figured that helping him would be better than the millions of stares and conversation I would be
roped into by the children and their parents.
I could only imagine the things they were saying about me outside. They were probably wondering
who I was and why I had to train with children when I was clearly an adult. I forced myself not to
think about it because I didn’t want to get anxious or self conscious.
“Thank you,” he said once he noticed me helping him with a mat and I nodded.
“How did you get into training kids?” I asked unable to stop the curiosity in my tone. “I thought you
were a repair man.”
“I was a warrior but I suffered a nasty hit to my knees that didn’t heal properly,” he gestured to his
leg and he rolled up his trousers so I could see a jagged scar on his knee and I winced. “I retired to
the auto shop after that but the Alpha knows how much I love training so he gave me the chance to
be able to train kids and I took it.”
“You’re a good trainer.”
He smiled. “You don’t need any training, I could always protect you.”

stop myself fromughing at that. “Thanks for the offer, but I really want to know how to save
myself.” I looked at the time on his watch and cursed. “I should better be going now, I’ll see you
later.”
I rushed off before he could say anything and practically sped home. I rushed through my bath and
getting ready process so that I would be able to get to ss early. I forgot to check how much I had
left from the money Pam had given to me for the week but I bought a
of coffee for two dors to help keep myself awake.

I barely made it and there was only one free chair and it was next to the girl who had warned me
away from Aiden. I realized that I still didn’t know her name as I took a seat next to her. She
nced at me but didn’t say a word and I figured she would appreciate the silence so I didn’t
either.
As the teacher started to teach, I realized how exhausted I was. I could barely keep myself awake
and I didn’t even know I had started drifting off to sleep until I felt a sharp elbow at my side. I turned
to the girl and she was practically ring at me.
“Say fifteen,” she instructed and I didn’t know what she was on about but because of the urgency in
her eyes, I did.
“That’s correct,” I turned and realized that the teacher had probably caught me sleeping, and asked
me a question. “Just pay attention next time.”
“Thank you,” I whispered to the girl once the teacher had gone to sleep and all she did was shrug.
After ss, she made to leave but I stopped her because I knew that I had to know her name. She
had saved me from a lot of embarrassment and the least I could do is know her
name.
“Thank you for earlier,” I said to her and she shrugged, “I still don’t know your name:
“My name is Serena but what I want to know is why you were falling asleep in ss.” I exined
that I had training and her brows rose high. “That’s weird, only children from elite families send their
children to train. Are you from an elite family?”
“Maybe it’s because my father is an Alpha,” I offered and she hummed.

It was obvious that she didn’t think that was the reason but she didn’t have anything else to offer as
a reason so she decided to leave it at that.
“Our next ss isn’t until an hour,” she said. “Do you want to go to the café?”
“Sure,” I said as I followed her out of the ss but my words were on her earlier thoughts.
If only children of the elite were allowed to train then it was probably because they were useful to
the pack. If that is true then does Kaden have something he expects me to do after I have
completed my training?
