“Spoken like a true warrior.”
He nods. “As for what happens next, it is actually up to you in a way. You will not go back home, that is not an option. But, you may join our school here and finish out your high school career, then join the warrior training, but I think that might be a little too mundane for you, Little One. That is what is expected of you by the people who truly care about you. Warrior to warrior my suggestion is join the Warrior training while you take classes. We will make sure your schedule allows for it. Looking at your transcripts, which took far too long to get accurate reports on you by the way, you only need about 5 credits to graduate high school. Something you could probably accomplish this summer. I would allow you to join the warrior training in a limited capacity, as you said you are too young for some of what we do. You will not receive the official Elite Warrior brand, which I will explain later when it applies to you, and you will not be allowed to go on missions until you are at least 16, but you can get a head start on what it is we do here and get out of whatever box you seem to have been placed in by people who think they know what’s best for you.
“That sounds like my best option. Going home would just cause more problems and I have nowhere else to go. And I am done with most of my school credits. It would be a waste of time to have to sit through classes when I could be doing something more productive.”
I try really hard to hide my excitement, but I don’t know how well I do.
“You will be held to the same standard as all the Elite Warriors. While you are in training, no contact with anyone outside the training program while you are here. We have designated family visits, but you are bound by the Alpha King to secrecy of the details of our program.
“I understand. Speaking of family. Does my brother know I am here?
“He has been brought up to speed on your current situation and is aware of your living arrangements.
I just nod my head. Up to speed on my current situation’ means he knows how bad this beating was and probably agreed to send me here.
“I know you have some more questions for me, but Doc Sylvia and Doc Ganon would like to come in and check on you now that you are awake. We can continue talking if you don’t mind additional ears.
“That’s fine, there isn’t much point in hiding now.
I barely got the words out when the door opens and I about jump out of my bed. If Osiston hadn’t told me her name I would have thought it was Sierra coming to see me.
“Oh my dear, I am so glad to see those beautiful eyes! Sierra has been so worried, she will be so excited to hear that you are finally awake. Now we are going to be running lots of tests on you. There are so many fascinating things that I want to know. Please don’t think that I am trying to pry but someone your age should not have been able to withstand the levels of torture that you have undergone. I can’t wait to see what makes you tick.”
She is practically jumping up and down and I don’t know if I should be more intrigued or scared of her excitement of my many levels of tortuous adventures.
“Sylvia, settle down, you are going to give the poor girl a heart attack. I am sorry for my mate, she loves studying remarkable things and you dear girl are nothing short of remarkable. I am Doctor Ganon Malcia and this is my mate Doctor Sylvia Malcia, we are Sierra parents, if you didn’t figure that out already. Since we’re both here, everyone just calls us Doc Sylvia and Doc Ganon.
I nod and look between them. “Nice to meet you. Can I see Sierra? Is she here?”
It would be nice to see a familiar face so far from home while I am apparently being turned into a lab rat.
“Now that you are awake, I think we can arrange something. I would like to take some more samples. Some of your wounds are in various stages of healing and you were given quite the cocktail of sedatives. I have a few theories, but I need to run a few more tests before I can make any clear hypothesis. Do you mind?”
Doc Sylvia holds out a few test tubes in her hand. “Also, have you talked to your wolf yet? I have a few questions for her too, when she comes back around.
“No, I haven’t heard from her. Not since the attack, whatever they gave me cut off our connection. Right now this is the only useful thing I can do and it can’t hurt more than what happened to me, have at it.”
I shrug.
“I would like some samples from the scarring on your back too if you don’t mind.”
Doc Ganon asks and I just nod. “Hopefully we will have answers for you soon. And we will talk to Alpha King Reggie and Warrior Brogen about letting Sierra visit.
I nod again and just let them get on with their sample taking. Doc Ganon gives me a warm smile and Doc Sylvia gives me a gentle hug before they go.
“We will be taking samples every hour until your wolf reappears and we will send up some food. I’m sure your body could do with more than the nutrients we are giving you through your IV. When you are ready we will also send up a hairdresser to fix the butcher’s job they did on those beautiful blonde locks.”
Doc Ganon says with a smile that is so like Sierra’s knowing look.
I give asmall smile back. The muscles in my face are still sore, but I’m not sure if it’s from the beating or lack of use. I completely forgot about Kaley cutting off my hair. I can only imagine what I look like right now. It’s going to be strange to not have my waist length hair.
I reach up and run my hands through the jagged locks and I want to cry, but I won’t. Even if she can’t see me, I won’t give Kaley the satisfaction of having me cry over my looks. That is something she believes makes you important, and I couldn’t agree less. My hair will grow back, this is not a big thing.
Deep breath, I made it to the Royal Pack and Elite Warrior training. I look over to Warrior Osiston while Doc Sylvia and Doc Ganon do their thing.
“So back to my questions, when can I get out of here and get back to school and start training?”
I’m not beating around the bush any more. He said I can train and finish school at the same time, so that is exactly what I am going to do. I need to focus on moving forward with my life, not dwell on past things I can’t change.
“As soon as the docs clear you to leave the hospital, which I assume will involve you connecting with your wolf again, we will move you to a room on the training property. Will you ever tell me the whole truth about your enemy?”
“Probably not. It’s not worth talking about her over and over and over again. I didn’t choose to be her target at first, but I also wasn’t going to stand by and let her beat on younger kids just because it made her feel better. I chose my place between her and them.
She will get her karma eventually and I hope I am around to see it, but other than that, she’s not worth the mental space. Can you tell me more about what I can expect out of Elite training?”
: We went on like that for a really long time. Doc Ganon chuckled at my more bold questions and Doc Sylvia patted my arm when they had to ask about more personal things surrounding my injuries. My food came and it was actually really delicious. I was given a burger, fruit, veggies, chips, three different flavors of water and then my choice of dessert. Definitely not what I expected hospital food to be like. My throat was a little sore, but 1 wasn’t going to let that get in the way of a full meal.
