Chapter 28
Christina
After we’ve greeted the new Alphas, we all move into the dining car where we can smell the food that is already cooking.
“Dinner is in one hour, Alphas,” Mia says, walking toward the kitchen.
“Hey, get a me drink,” Liam calls out, as if Mia is an omega in his pack.
“OHHH! Absolutely not!” Alpha James growls, Sebastian right behind him. “These women are not omegas, they’re not part of your pack, and they certainly aren’t here to wait on you. You will ask politely, or you‘ 11 spend the next semester fending for yourself. Mia is a Luna and even if she wasn’t, assistants AREN’T omegas, no matter their rank in the packs. You got me?”
Alpha James is in Liam’s face, his aura pushing out angrily.
“Damn good thing he didn’t say that to Sylvie,” Laura murmurs as she passes me heading toward the kitchen. She’s not wrong.
Liam’s hands go up in the air. “Sorry. I didn’t know.
“Don’t step on this fucking Train like you own it. You’re nothing here until we make you into something worthy of being called an Alpha.
And that’s only IF you pass the Academy at all, got it?” he snarls.
“Alpha James, your aura. It’s a bit too heavy for some on the Train,” I tell him quietly, seeing Charlotte pressing herself against the wall as tightly as possible, as if his aura is pushing against her and she’s trying to get away from it. I see Sebastian glance her way, then nod to Sylvie.
“Do you understand, Alpha Liam?” James growls, not letting his aura. go. Sylvie moves to Charlotte’s side to help alleviate the worst of his aura. I feel Haley tuck up behind me, letting me block out the worst of his aura as well.
“Yes, Alpha. I understand.”
Alpha James glares at him a moment longer then drops his aura. There are several sighs from those without rank around the room.
James turns to look at Charlotte. “Are you okay, Charlotte?” he asks, his tone much gentler.
“Yes, Alpha. Having Luna Sylvie here helped.”
He turns looking around the room. “Haley?”
“I’m good, Alpha.”
“Emma?” he asks.
“I’m okay,” she says, but she looks shaken. Nobody went to her rescue)
“Where’s Laura?” he asks.
“She’s in the kitchen. She’s okay, Alpha,” I tell him.
He nods, taking a breath, then turns back to Liam and Noah. “Have a seat.”
I guess he intends to make sure they don’t step out of line again.
“The usual, Alpha James?” I ask him.
“Yes, thank you, Christina.”
I go around the room, asking the instructors if they want their usual drinks then send Haley to get them.
“Alpha Tyler, something more than tea for you?” I ask him.
He smiles, ordering a drink.
“Alpha Ezra?” I ask him.
“The usual for me, Alpha, thank you,” he says, and Liam’s head snaps to me. I ignore him.
“Alpha Noah, what about you?” I ask him. When he gives me his order. I turn to Logan.
“Alpha?”
I take his order then finally turn to Liam. “And you?”
“So, you’re an Alpha female. What are you doing riding the Train?” he asks me.
