Chapter 121: Christina


    Christina


    When I wake up in Sebastian’s bed on the Train, it’s mid- afternoon. My body is still humming and feels worn out after the


    marathon sex fest we hadst night. Note to me, never tell


    Sebastian how he feels again unless I’m ready to pay the


    consequences.


    I climb out of bed, wincing a little at the pain between my thighs. He was not gentle with me, well, not until the end. He used everything he’s learned about my body to make mee sol many times and for so long each time that I know I’ll ever enjoy being with another man again. I’m pretty sure that was his point.


    I sigh, taking a deep breath of his scent on the shirt he must have dressed me in. I remember him bathing me, but I was pretty out of it by then, barely able to stand.


    He did everything but mark mest night. He called me his over and over throughout the night and I can still feel him, his hands, his mouth, his skin, his hard cock, all over and inside me. It’s like he branded himself on me to make sure I can’t forget him, as if I ever could.


    I’ve never been in love before. But I know that’s what this is. I’ve never wanted someone so much in my entire life. Even now, I miss his presence. It feels like there’s a gaping hole in my life not having him here.


    Since there are only three of us on the Train now, I quickly make


    my way to my room and change before going in search of the others and food. I haven’t been able to eat much in thest couple of weeks and afterst night and not eating today, I’m


    ravenous.


    “Hey, I was starting to get worried about you. Alpha Sebastian said to let you sleep, but I didn’t expect you to sleep so long,” Haley says as I walk in.


    “I’m good. Just really hungry. Is there anything left over from lunch?”


    “Yeah, I’ll make you something,” she says.


    “You don’t have to,” I tell her.


    “I want to. You sit,” she says.


    “Thanks, Haley.”


    When she walks out, I look at Alpha Will. His eyes are intense, searching. Alpha Will is one of those Alphas who doesn’t speak a lot, but he’s always watching and paying attention. When he does speak, it’s usually after he’s thoroughly thought through. what he wants to say and how he wants to say it. So, when he speaks, it’s important to listen.


    “You know, Christina, you took top in ss for Communication, because you are great atmunicating clearly and getting to the root of the problem. But you didn’t take top in ss for Dealing with Crisis. That’s more about listening. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve said what you needed to say to Alpha Sebastian. Just make sure that you’re listening to what he has to say to you as well,” he says.

    That night is rxed and easy with just the three of us. Haley and I make ns to get together in a couple of days and fly to Tyler’s pack for his birthday. We make our flight arrangements, making sure we’re seated together since I know she’ll be a nervous wreck. We make return flights home, but I make sure that Haley’s is refundable, just in case the best happens.


    The next morning as I get ready to leave the Train, I put on my Alpha ne with my number two disyed proudly. It took a long time for me to realize that it was okay to take my brother’s spot on the leaderboard, and I want him to see the moment I step out of the car that I’ve made him proud.


    When we get off the Train, I say goodbye to Haley and Alpha Will, then turn to the car that is waiting for me. The warrior smiles, about to greet me. Then, seeing my ne, the smile broadens across his face.


    “Alpha Christina. Your brother is going to be very proud to see that.”


    “I know he is, Henry. I can’t wait to show him. Thanks foring to get me.”


    The drive home feels longer than normal as I’m stuck with my thoughts about Sebastian. I talk to Henry about what I’ve missed in the pack while I was away, but since nothing much happens in Dane’s pack, it was more about who had their pups, which pups gained their wolves, and things like that. Then, it was back to silence and my thoughts.


    When we pull up to the packhouse several hourster, I’m not

    I grin at Henry before stepping out of the car and facing my brother. He smiles, and then his eyes sh to my ne and the smile widens.


    He steps down the stairs, walking toward me with pride shining in his eyes. “You took the sses.”


    “I took the sses.”


    He pulls me into a hug. “Damn, I’m so proud of you! I guess | should be thankful you didn’t take the sses when you were younger, or it would have been you knocking me out of first ce. How many points did you get?”


    “One hundred and fifty–two.”


    He frowns. “Wait, wasn’t Ryan at one hundred and fifty? Why are you number two?”


    “Tyler is number one.”


    “So, I’m number four now?”


    I shake my head, no.


    “No?”


    “Alpha Ezra came in at number three. You and Alpha Ryan have been pushed to four and five.”


    “Geez! That must have been one hell of a semester,” he says. The images of my time with Sebastian sh through my mind making my stomach clench. My brother, who never misses a

    thing, narrows his eyes at me.


    “Come talk with me,” he says gently, wrapping his arm around my shoulders and walking me inside the packhouse. He stops in the main living area.


    “Attention everyone!” he booms, and the room goes silent.


    Everyone turns and begins waving at me, realizing that I’ve just returned home.


    “My sister has now officially taken my previous position on the Alpha Academy’s leaderboard!”


    The entire pack begins to cheer. He holds up a hand and they quiet down again.


    “We’re all very proud of her and tonight, I want to have a celebration in her honor. You can all congratte her then, but right now, I want some time with my sister.”


    The pack begins bustling around and I know that in a matter of a few hours, they will have a huge party nned in my honor.


    I follow Dane to his office and as soon as he closes the door, I wrap my arms around him.


    I feel his armse around me and he holds me without saying a word. I feel the tears that I thought were long goneing back to the surface.


    “Come sit with me,” he says gently. He sits me in one of the chairs in his office then goes to the bar in his office and pours us both a drink. Then, hees and hands me my drink before sitting across from me.
