My Fated Alpha's Cruel Game (Elena and Marcus) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167: Chapter 167 Target Wayfinders Pack

Marcus’s POV

"You bet he does. You all have to beat her record now," Corbin announced with a grin.

Nico lay sprawled on the ground, looking like death warmed over. The sight was actually pretty entertaining.

Here was this guy who never shut up about how tough he was, completely destroyed by a girl. So much for all that bravado.

"Suck it, Nico," Dawn shouted from where she was still catching her breath.

"Screw you," he managed to wheeze out with zero conviction.

"Alright, you two are up next. Let these two recover," Corbin commanded.

Koa and I tackled the obstacle course, turning it into our own little competition, but neither of us came close to that twelve-minute mark.

Dawn was in a league of her own.

When training finally wrapped up for the day, we headed to the mess hall for dinner. I noticed Dawn always claimed the same spot at the far end of the table, isolated from everyone else.

I deliberately chose the seat directly across from her and started eating.

"So what’s the deal with those girls always shooting you death glares?" I asked, nodding toward the group of female recruits.

She just lifted her shoulders in a casual shrug.

"Beats me. I only arrived the day before you did. Still the new girl, I guess. Plus I think they’re jealous that you’re paying attention to me instead of them," she said with brutal honesty.

"They can deal with it. I’m not interested in talking to them anyway. They all look like total jerks," I replied.

She let out a short laugh.

"Starting to think you’re right about that," she agreed.

"Any questions?" Blackwood asked.

"Which pack are we targeting?" I needed to know.

"Wayfinders Pack pack," Blackwood replied curtly.

I nodded, processing the information.

"Thirty minutes. Don’t be late," Corbin said before heading out.

As everyone started getting ready, I positioned myself on the far side of my bunk, facing Koa.

"You know what needs to happen," I whispered.

"Don’t worry. I’ve got everything under control," he whispered back.
