“You are making everyone nervous,” James said as he ambled up to us.
“Good,” she said as she tore her eyes away from mine.
“They need to be nervous. The next attack could happen at any time.”
“Either way,” James said with a bright smile. “It might be
a good idea to send everyone out for food and come back to this after.”
Kathrine sized him up. He was one of the only humans that would
approach her outright during training. Him and Thomas, that is. She found it
equal parts annoying and amusing. She wasn’t used to people not having a
healthy fear of her. I had a feeling Lance had a twisted sense of humor putting her in charge of this.
“I want everyone back here in two hours. We have drills to
do,” she said as she spun on her heels and stalked toward the building.
“Man,” James said with a whistle. “I thinks she give you a
run for your money.”
I snorted and pushed his shoulder. Nic and Ellie ran over
as wolves. Ellie had been practicing shifting. She leapt in the air as she did
it, and transitioned to running in her human form. Ty and Tray followed at a
jog. They all grabbed their clothes from the pile nearby.
While I was starting to get used to all the nakedness all
the time. I always felt better when they had their clothes back on. The ones
from Tarum were even worse. They all trained together from a young age.
