When I heard the name “Læm,” it felt as if invisible hands had grabbed my heart and squeezed, making it hard to even breathe.

Why would he ask that? What did he know?

I forced myself to calm down, lowering my lashes and putting on a clueless look. “Lam? Who’s that? Never heard of them.” My fingers pinched the edge of my shirt, voice soft, pretending I didn’t know a thing. “I’m just a normal Omega. I’ve never even been near races, let alone know any racers.”

As soon as I said it, I turned toward the window, acting like the scenery rushing by caught my attention, my tone light.

“Anyway, didn’t you say you’d help me train? When do we start? I don’t know anything about how the challenge works.”

I could feel Samson’s eyes on me, studying me, but he didn’t push.

A few seconds later, he finally looked away, voice cool again. “Right now. We’re going to the training grounds.”

Eclipse Pack’s training grounds were huge, with soft, non-slip sheepskin mats everywhere. In the corners, machines measured speed and strength.

I walked to the center, hunching my shoulders on purpose, trying to look like someone totally lost.

“Start with the basics. Dodging.” Samson grabbed a practice staff wrapped in foam. “I’ll attack from different angles. You try to avoid me. Don’t worry. The staff won’t hurt.”

Before he even finished, the staff swept

toward

my

waist.

I staggered a beat too slow on purpose, wobbling like I might fall, and let out an exaggerated “Ow!”

Samson frowned and stepped closer. “Focus. Don’t zone out.”

For the rest of the training, I held back.

He showed me how to steady my breathing, and I deliberately learned slowly, sometimes forgetting when to inhale. He showed me how to strike in close combat, and I pretended my wrists were weak as I blocked sloppily, seemingly all over the place.

“Wrong.” Suddenly, he was right behind me, his hand on my wrist.

His palm was warm, just a little rough, his grip firm but careful as he nudged my arm into the right angle. “Power comes from your core, not just your arms.”

He was close-too close. The pinewood scent of his skin, mixed with faint sweat, brushed the back of my neck. I flinched before I could stop.

Alice screamed inside my head, “He’s too close! Your heart’s going crazy!”

I bit my lip, pretending to be nervous, my voice trembling. “I-I still can’t get it … Maybe I’m too dumb.”

“Don’t rush.” His voice was low, softer than usual and patient. “Try again. I’ll watch you.”

This time, I tried a little harder, blocking like he showed me. When the staff tapped my arm, he pulled back just in time.

“Yes. That’s it.” His tone had approval now, fingertips brushing my wrist lightly. “Do it a few more times. Get the feel.”

The sunset streamed through the skylights, stretching our shadows across the mats.

He stood across from me, eyes fixed on every move. Every time he corrected me, his touches-quick, light -sparked, leaving my fingertips tingling.

I stared at his serious profile, caught in a haze. If he knew I’d been faking all this time, would he still be this patient?

Samson’s POV:

Amanda’s movements were awkward, even clumsy.

Her footwork when dodging was frantic. Her wrists shook when she blocked-like a normal Omega who’d never trained in combat.

But something felt wrong.
