“He’ll go for your weaknesses, any area that he can find to squeak in he’ll use it,” I exined
to the alpha.
Grayson looked over the map of hisnd and evaluated where his weaknesses were, and to be honest
from my point of view there were very few. With Towers in the front to protect him from where he didn’t
have mountains guarding his sides. But the mountains were far enough
out there to be any true protection.
We agreed that he should put outposts out there and motion sensors with heat signatures. The issue
was there was wildlife everywhere so I got put together aputer program that went through the
photos captured and sorted out if any were humans.
He didn’t seem to appreciate the idea of leaving this to aputer. He was a very traditional man and
that much was obvious. He didn’t want to leave this to chance. I tried exining my programming
wasn’t chance but he didn’t seem convinced.
I was surprised he’d asked me to assist him on this but when he exined that he wanted someone
who had spent time with Marcus to help show his faults it was quite clever. I had to admit that I should
have expected as much from Ate’s husband she was clever and I couldn’t imagine her to be with a
dumb meathead.
It made me chuckle thinking of Marcus imagining he was in the same league as these two.
“Thank you for allowing me to help I know I’m probably a security risk to you,” Imented.
H
Anna said that you were faltering in your loyalty from the start, that makes me trust you,” he exined.
I shuffled from side to side of course she knew from the start like I said she was clever, I still wanted to
prove myself, show that I could help, how I could use my intelligence for more
than just evil.
We decided to put the outposts up around higher points so they had better vantage and we
installed the motion sensors.
you know you should try going to the gym nobody’s going to protect you when they’re all fighting for
their lives,” Grayson told me one day.
The gym had never been a ce I’d wanted to be, full of meatheads and mouth breathers.
Entirely different from myself, I had avoided it like the gue. What can I say? Grown–ups
still fear their childhood bullies and the ce of all their torment.

“I I know things were run differently in your old pack, but here we lean on each other,” Matt
chimed in.
‘I don’t need help,” I scoffed and instantly regretted it trying not to insult my new pack
members
‘I could break you like a twig, you need a lot of help,” Mattughed and even with only one
arm he could break me like a twig.
So little by little, I started training first just running. Apparently, it was a horrifying sight, Ate teased
me but started running alongside me. The amount of protein these people ate did start filling me up and
Grace Pl
ordered me not to touch vegetables until I gained
more weight.
Soon enough I was in the ring and I was learning moves. Grayson was right it was different here. We
didn’t fall behind and here they helped you learn. I Admired them. I suppose this was the same way in
the ssroom.
Eventually, I found myself sitting with a group of rouges every day training with them, bulking up and
the idea of entering the training house didn’t seem so daunting.
I still knew there were some people who didn’t want me around who didn’t trust me. I would look over
my shoulder as I practiced my sparring and I’d catch her eye. Shaking her head at me. She still could
break me like a twig.
I didn’t know what to do to try and gain her respect but I knew Elizabeth held an important position
within the pack and life would be hard without her approval. I didn’t want my sister
to face any more repercussions because of me.
I tried toe up to her and say something nice, but she just walked away from me. Her eyes
lingered on me with that same evaluating expression.
I asked Ate what it would take and she simply stated that only time would put me in Elizabeth’s
good graces. That Elizebeth didn’t that easily and due to past events she has grown even more
uncertain of those around her.
I knew who her husband was the doctor we had been conversing with. He hadn’t liked how infatuated
Hrqyyson was with Ate and didn’t trust it bring ruin upon their pack so he gave out some
information to Marcus hoping it would take care of the problem. What he hadn’t expected was the
continual partnership and to eventually die for his treason.
If I remember correctly Elizebeth watched her husband die. Poor woman. I decided to leave
well enough alone so long as she didn’t make it her mission to disrupt my life I would force her to be my
acquaintance.
I was thankful Grayson had forced me to train it was only a matter of time before we found
ourselves on the battlefield again. I wouldn’t be spared this time. Marcus would raise this ce to the
ground in order to get Ate back. I had only been here so long, and the d only been here so long,
and the thought of that lit a fire in me.
This ce with its kind people, it’s hidden beauty in its small valley. I’de to find it as home, and I
wanted to protect it. So I trained and perfected the program to detect movement in the outskirts of our
land. I helped Grayson and Matt shore up the defenses more and run
scenarios for attack.
I became a part of themunity and was surprised at how little effort it took I was ced among
those at the head table at the pavilion and people didn’t sneer at me, not openly
anyway.

We still had a lot to conquer, Deacon terrified me to my very core he was a man of precision and he
woulde for us. Grayson had drilled his warriors into fighting machines. We had doubled our
resources when it came to weapons and ammunition and armor. But they never yed the fair game. I
still felt that uneasy feeling in my stomach like this could all go so quickly.
I felt dread thinking of it I didn’t want to see it happen, I wanted to protect this ce. Even with what
muscle I’d earned. to help them save this from the monsters that we had escaped. For myself and for
my sister. Hopefully what we had done was enough.
