I asked Dakota who was closest to me.
“Dad and mom said something about her doing her sophomore year here with us. Her parents work for the Alpha King and are on some kind of mission, so she’s here with family.”
He just shrugs.
“I call dibs, the girls around here are needy and boring, I’m over them.
“You call dibs, huh? What if she doesn’t want your ugly ass? Then what?”
Oliver shoves my shoulder.
“No way, I’m the best looking out of all of us. If anyone is going to get her attention, it’s me.”
I reply, not taking my eyes off her.
“Wanna bet?”
Mateo asks.
“Depends. What are the stakes?
“Get her to come to the bonfire tonight, but it can’t be a date ”
Mateo starts.
“She has to show up on her own ”
Dakota adds.
“And you have to be the first guy she talks to ”
Oliver supplies.
“And you can’t approach her until she does.”
Cameron finished.
That means I am going to have to keep the leeches busy, she’ll never come talk to me with our usual stalkers hanging around. Damn, they were not going to make this easy.
“Time’s a wastin’.”
Dakota points to his wrist where a watch would be.
“Fine, I’m in. But if I win, none of you can poach her.
“Deal.”
They all said in unison.
Now I just have to get her attention. Well, she seems to be pretty fit, so maybe I can work my way over and get my dad to pair her with me. As I turn to move in that direction I see dad’s second pair her with
Mateo’s sister. Man that girl is tiny, if they didn’t look alike you wouldn’t know they were related.
Mateo is outgoing and takes his job as the next beta very seriously, almost too seriously. Sky is super shy and keeps to herself. I bet being the second born, her beta blood just isn’t as strong as Mateo’s.
I beat everyone of these clowns with this move yesterday, today is just going to be a repeat of their embarrassment. We each take it in turns to spar, really just going through the motions. We only show up to these training sessions to set a good example, as the Alpha tells us. If we don’t show, why should anyone else?’ Even though we do so much extra training outside of these, but no one knows about it really. So I guess I get the whole set an example’ thing. We really just use this time to watch the trainers train and see how they lead a large group.
My dad’s loud voice breaks through my thoughts. “I think a demonstration is in order. Sierra, Skylar, why don’t you two show us how the new defensive move is supposed to look.
What the hell? The guys and I move into the circle forming around Skylar and Sierra. Now I know her name at least. What gets me is the very noticeable size difference between her and Skylar. This can not be a fair fight, why would my dad use them as demonstrators? The guys and I have been working on this for a couple days now, why use two girls who probably just figured out the basic movements.
Skylar seems to be having a staring contest with my dad, she must be thinking the same thing, that she’s going to be embarrassed in front of all these people and she’s shy as it is.
I can hear some of the kids in the crowd jeering stupid comments. I feel Mateo stiffen next to me. He’s sensitive and protective about his sister. Their mom died giving birth to her and their dad hasn’t gotten over losing his mate. Mateo spends a lot of time keeping his dad busy so he will leave Skylar alone. I think that is part of the reason she is introverted, but she just looks soft and fragile. Her baggy clothing makes her appear smaller than she is. I didn’t even realize she was at training.
“Ready.”
