Hope POVI felt Dylan's arms around me, I put both hands on his chest and tried to push him away, but despite my anger, the bond made me weak and as much as I didn't want to his smell was intoxicating, Dylan's smell was intoxicating, it was a mix between rum, tangerine leaves and musk in the background. Something elegant and powerful, unlike any other I had ever smelled. But wasn't that by any chance the sense of being Destined? The smell of his partner was heightened and just being near him was able to soothe and heal.I lifted my head and looked deep into his dark blue eyes and only realized I was holding my breath when I felt his fingers pulling a lock of my hair away and then I shook my head to clear my thoughts.'No... just no... I need to stay away...'That thought almost made me groan in pain, but I just pushed my head away and looked at the doctor."Am I cleared now?" I asked trying to keep my voice as professional as possible."Yes, I'll have them bring clothes for you to ret
Hope POVI heard the guys leaving and I was the last one to leave, I followed the guys to the practice area, when I approached I saw the coach looking down at me."I'm Joshua, this training is to evaluate your skills as a leader." I listened carefully, my face serious. "Your previous group will be passed on to you and from now on you will be evaluated on their development. In three weeks there will be a test to check your group's development."I nodded positively and looked again at the arena and well, I didn't like what I saw, it was something ordinary."Do I necessarily need to train them here?" I asked and couldn't help my tone of disapproval."Well, that's the right thing to do. That way it will be easier for us to evaluate you.""But is it mandatory that I train them here?" I asked again and looked into Joshua's eyes."No...""Good." I spoke quickly and walked past him and looked at the 7 who were my designees. "Come." I turned my back and started walking out of the arena. I pass
Kendrick POVI heard a familiar voice, well it had been many years since I had heard that voice, but it was almost impossible not to recognize it. Ever since I was 16 years old that voice haunted me, even in my dreams. I was happy and at the same time tense, if the rumors were real she didn't belong to me."Can I choose anyone?" I turned to see the colorful haired girl running her hand through various weapons. Rachel's response was what everyone expected, always start training with the weapon she is least skilled at. I saw her pick up the double metal baton. I arched my eyebrow, that was definitely not the one she was least skilled at, but it had been years since I had seen her train, my father had warned that she had improved a lot. As soon as she picked up the stick Rachel launched herself at her and her response made me laugh, it was something my father always said and then I saw her movements, pulling Rachel's paw away with a thud at the joint of her paws.Simple, if you are not
Hope POVI lost my mind, I let anger take over and all I saw were things my mind wanted me to see and not what reality was showing. I twisted my mouth. Kendrick was right, I needed to stabilize myself before I tried to fight someone again, otherwise I would most likely end up killing the person.I took a deep breath and ran my hand through my hair and entered the room, I was the first to arrive, since I had been dismissed from wolf training earlier. I took the opportunity to look around the room.The blackboard, it wasn't a blackboard, it was actually touchscreen, there was a computer on the table where the teacher would be and a projector attached to the ceiling. The students' desks were designed to have laptops instead of notebooks. All this technology was mixed with solid wood furniture, a large dark wine carpet with geometric designs in black and some gold details.The old blending with the new. I picked up my cell phone and opened the messaging app.[Um, I think I need a laptop]
Kendrick POVThat girl was pissing me off, she didn't even know Hope's potential and was judging because she was a pureblood. The anger went through my head enough to want to kill her right then and there.Then I looked at Hope who had told me she wasn't worth it and smiled back at her, handing her a gift bag, I saw her face of surprise as she took off a red hoodie made of silk that covered her entire body."KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK" Just that one laugh made all my anger disappear as she put on the hoodie, "Now I'm a helpless little girl around the castle is it?""Since I'm the big bad wolf then at least I should have a little red hat to chase around shouldn't I?" I replied smiling in a corner, watching her face flush. God, had I made Hope Black lose her composure?"Er... Um... Thanks for the gift." I listened to her reply after a few seconds, she had definitely thought of several answers to give, but chose the safest one."Come on, I think you're hungry aren't you? I believe the mall has
Hope POVI woke up at 2:30 a.m., took a quick shower and got dressed without making much noise, my classmates were still sleeping. I quickly walked down to the stage 1 practice yard and saw my team already there."Great, you're all here. It's simple, you must first warm up, for half an hour, when you finish the course in less than 60 seconds you can rest." I sat in the middle of the arena, around it was a track with different obstacles, between walls to climb, holes to jump, a few wires, ropes to climb and ladders to pass. I turned on my cell phone, listening to my team start exercising, stretching, doing some push-ups, doing small laps. Great, that at least I didn't have to teach, and then I heard them start to run.I don't participate in groups or look at the gossip site, but it was impossible to ignore when on the messenger app the notifications showed up. Several news items about Kenrick and me had already appeared.It was as if I had made a fatal mistake by getting involved wit
Hope POVFinally my feet stepped into the training arena, I looked at that course that I already knew by heart, that I could do back to back and still not get tired. I am smiling, even though I am late, I am smiling because I will finally be able to do things I love, without worrying about what people think.My classmates had already started the course, in the center with a tablet was the coach, Joshua, he looked at me, arching his eyebrows."For being late I'm going to want at least 200 push-ups before I start the course."I listened and just nodded, apologizing was something I hardly ever did, even more so because I was wrong. I had been late, so I would just have to accept the punishment. I started to do the push-ups, letting my mind wander. I closed my eyes and then felt my muscles begin to tense and relax as I did the push-ups, changing positions every 50 sets, first with my left arm, then with my right, then with both, and ended up doing 50 more push-ups.I could feel the sweat
Joshua POVHope arrived late to the arena, I arched my eyebrow, I didn't imagine she was that kind of person, I scolded her and gave her her punishment. She didn't apologize to me, she knew she was wrong and just accepted the punishment. The sequence she did seemed to be very easy, because it didn't take long for her to finish.I expected no less from someone who had been used to exercises since she was 5 years old, but what really surprised me was that she did the circuit, it seemed like she had done it a few times before. Not even the people in her class had finished in a time like hers.I noticed that she wasn't paying attention to the others, not even Dylan who was a little further away doing a sequence series on a training dummy. I started timing her circuit and she started doing the same herself. After several minutes she finally stopped, when she reached the 30s mark. She was tired, but she didn't look too pleased with herself, the people doing it were the ones from her pack,
