Chapter 27
Christina
–
Since it’s our last day on the Train, I don’t have much to do other than spend some time going over the coursework for the two classes where I expect to struggle the most Financial Management and Managing a Pack. While Dane has told me over and over that he has a place for me in his pack, I’ve never taken him up on it and therefore, never learned the intricacies of running a pack. I download the books to my tablet. and begin reading until it’s time to help prepare for lunch. I’m not on lunch duty, but I know that there will be others preparing for the larger, later dinner tonight, and Sylvie put both Charlotte and Emma on for lunch.
“Excuse me, Emma, are you available to talk?” Alpha Benjamin asks as I step into the car.
“Of course, Alpha,” Emma says, no doubt excited about having an excuse to get out of lunch duty and leaving Charlotte to herself.
“Actually, Alpha, Emma is on lunch duty. If she is pulled away now, lunch will most likely be late or require extra people to help get it ready. Is it possible that someone else can help you or can your conversation wait?” I ask him.
“Oh, it can wait. I just wanted to make sure we’re on the same page for our class since it starts Monday afternoon. We’ll talk after lunch,
Emma.”

“Of course, Alpha,” she says, giving him a sour smile before glaring at
- mc.
“Assistants have to balance many different duties while they are here, Emma. You don’t get to skirt one to handle another,” I tell her sternly.
“You’re not in charge of the assistants, are you? I don’t answer to you, Christina,” she sneers, emphasizing my name without the title and making it sound like I’m no better than an omega. This girl is a piece of work.
I see Charlotte eyes widen at the blatant disrespect.
“Christina is a senior assistant on this Train, and you will answer to her just as you answer to me, Emma. Am I clear?” Sylvie asks, walking up behind me.
Emma continues to glare at me.
“Am I clear?” Sylvie barks, making Emma jerk.
“Yes, Luna.”
“Get your ass back in the kitchen and get to work before I decide to drop you at the next station and leave you there,” she growls.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t realize…” Alpha Benjamin begins.
“She did She knew exactly what she was doing. Alpha This isn’t on you,” Sylvie tells him.
He sighs, looking in the direction where Emma stomped back into the kitchen before turning and leaving the car.
“Two weeks can’t get here fast enough,” Sylvic murmurs.
“Agreed. I was going to help, but…”
“Work with Charlotte. I talked to her this morning, got her caught up. but I’d like yours and Mia’s impressions as well. I already got Laura’s.”
“And?”
“She’s a hard worker, even if she has no filter.”
“So, it’s a lack of filter not that she’s literal?” I ask.
“I think it’s a little of both, but I like her.”
“Then I’m sure I will too,” I say, as we walk into the kitchen. I turn to where Charlotte is slicing tomatoes.
“Is she always so rude to you?” she whispers as I walk up.
“Only when I confront her.”

She snorts. “What can I do for you, Alpha?”
“I think the question is, what can I do to help you, Charlotte? You and Emma are both new this semester. I wanted to make sure you know where to find what you were looking for and talk through your meal ideas if you haven’t decided yet.”
