Because the young Alphas were paired with instructors, I spent more time with the ones paired with Mia and Sylvie, giving them instruction on how to use their personal strengths against their partner. As expected, Ezra listened and improved during class, while Liam continued to rely on his strength, ending up on the ground more times than he put Sylvie there.
“Alright everyone! That was a great start to Strength class. Get cleaned up and get some lunch. The next class starts at one o’clock. The sensory class, right?” I ask, turning to James.
“That’s correct. I have some fun things planned for today,” he says, rubbing his hands together in excitement.
Everyone chuckles and I watch as a couple of the young Alphas limp inside.
“Christina,” I say before she can walk away. I jog over to her and take her arm, looking it over.
“I’m healing, Sebastian.”
“Nice job, today, Christina,” Will says.
“Way to kick ass, Christina,” Daniel says heading inside.
“Thank you, Alphas.”
Her arm is still red, but the blisters are gone. I gently turn her around and run my fingers over the areas that are still dark but are already fading to purple and yellow.
“Move your arms? How do you feel?” I ask her.
She shifts around, lifting her arms. “Still a bit sore, but I’m better.”
“You going to ride that Beast again tomorrow, Christina?” James asks, walking up with Sylvie.
“Hell fucking yeah, I am. I’m not a one and done kind of girl, Alpha.”
I smile at her sass, but Sylvie laughs outright.
“That’s my girl! Go get washed up. You have lunch duty.”
“On it,” she says, jogging into the main building.
“You okay?” James asks me as we walk inside.
“I had a moment of pure terror there out there. But I’m good now.”
