“After the first week, there will be curtains between each of the tables. If you are doing what you should be doing, you’ll be focusing on your partner and not what everyone else is doing. This is part of the trust that you need to build with them. I would suggest that you spend as much time out of class as your partner will allow building that trust,” Alpha Sebastian says. I already knew this.
I can see the wheels in Ezra’s head turning. “That’s why you and Alpha Christina get together every night?”
“Absolutely.”
The others had been talking about the two of them having an affair, much like Alpha James and Sylvie, but I knew it wasn’t that. If you pay attention, you can see that Alpha Sebastian and Alpha Christina aren’t as comfortable together as Alpha James and Luna Sylvie are.
Ezra turns and looks at me, the realization that Haley was in my bedroom last night building trust finally dawns on him. He didn’t give me a hard time about it like the others did this morning, but I can tell he doesn’t like the knowledge that I’m already ahead of him in earning trust with my partner. He’s definitely going to be tough competition.
“The sex classroom will remain open if your partners feel more comfortable meeting there, or if you want to work on them feeling more comfortable in an open–air environment. Otherwise, you can meet whenever and wherever you and your partners are most comfortable,” Alpha Sebastian says,

everyone. Defeat an instructor on the Beast by completing it before he does. Those points are available to anyone. There are thirty other points that can be obtained in that class: Number one in sparring, first to complete the Beast in human form, and first to complete the Beast in wolf form. Obviously, those are only for the best or first to achieve the goal.”
No one has any questions about those points.
“The sensory class also has forty points available all for the best: best in sight, best in hearing, best in smell, and overall best in sensory.
“So, you can win twice in that class?” Ezra asks, making notes of where and how he can get points.
“No. You’re either best in one sense or you are best overall. There are only six of you, so these should be relatively easy points to obtain.”
I look around, wondering who the other scent person is in our class. I hope it’s not Christina, although that would give me a good challenge.
“What’s your heightened sense?” Noah asks, leaning over to whisper.
“Scent.”
“Me too,” he says, and I smile. I’ve got those ten points in the bag.
“There are ten points for the person who is top in the Communication
ructors, ten points for being class as determined by your top in Managing the Pack, which is instructor and test determined, and ten points for being top in Dealing with Crisis which is instructor determined.”
I look over the list of points I’d written down.
“That’s only seventeen, Alpha,” I say and Ezra nods.
