Evelyn’s POV

Breakfast was its usual hearty spread, with Dora bustling around. The three of us girls grabbed a table while the boys filtered in one by one, keeping their

distance. Clearly, being locked out last night had taught them a lesson.

“What’s on the schedule today? Sophia asked between bites.

“Obstacle training. Griffin wants to work on coordination.”

We were heading for the door when Acacia’s voice cut through the air.

“Well, look who it is, she drawled, leaning against the doorframe. “Heard you had quite the party last night. Locking out my boys?”

I stopped and took a breath. Dealing with her drama first thing in the morning wasn’t ideal.

“Your boys? Freya raised an eyebrow. Since when do you own them?”

Acacia’s face twisted. “You don’t belong here, outsider! Evelyn, you’re really pushing it, bringing random people back and screwing with our pack.”

“The only one causing problems here is you, Sophia laughed. “Starting shit this early – what’s your deal?”

I met Acacia’s glare head-on. The days of keeping my head down were over.

“Acacia, if you don’t have anything useful to say, move. We’ve got training.” My voce stayed level but firm. ‘Unlike some people, we’re actually working for

the pack.”

“You – Her face flushed red. “Who the hell do you think you are? You’re just some unwanted Beta’s daughter! Your mom’s dead, your dad hates you – you re

nothing but bad luck!”

I felt my friends tense beside me. I pressed their arms gently.

“Yeah, my mom’s dead,’ I said calmly. “But at least she died with dignity. Can’t say the same for everyone still breathing.”

Acacia’s mouth opened and closed like a fish. She hadn’t expected me to fire back

‘Let’s go, I told my friends. “We’re wasting time.”

That was beautiful, Sophia said through the mind link. You should’ve seen her face

Don’t celebrate yet. She’ll want payback.

At the training grounds, Griffin had set up an obstacle course. Different height briers, rope nets, balance beams the works.

“Team obstacle training today,” Griffin announced. “Pairs work together. This is about speed – it’s about cooperation.”

People paired off quickly. Sophia and I teamed up, while Freya….

‘Looks like we’re partners, Elliot walked up to her with that trademark grin.

Freya rolled her eyes. “Just try not to slow me down.”

We started strong, clearing the first few obstacles smoothly. But I kept getting di racted by the drama nearby.

Freya was climbing a high wall with Elliot spotting her. Her hand slipped, and she started falling backward.

‘Shit!’ Elliot lunged forward and caught her, but the momentum sent them both mbling. Freya landed square on top of him, their faces inches apart.

Time froze. I watched Freya’s cheeks go bright red.

You can… you can let go now, she whispered.

“Oh, right, Elliot said, but didn’t move his hands from her waist. Instead, he smiled. “But since you just tackled me, shouldn’t you take responsibility?”

“What?!” Freya’s eyes went wide. “You’re the one who screwed up the catch!”

“Am I?” In one smooth move, Elliot flipped them over so he was on top. “Maybe need to teach you about teamwork.”

“Elliot! You ass!” Freya struggled, but his arms were like steel bars.

“Lesson one,” he leaned down, his breath hitting her ear. “Trust your partner.”

Freya actually shivered.

“Lesson two,” he continued, “stop trying to be tough all the time. Sometimes it’s okay to depend on someone.”

“I’m not being tough!” But her voice had lost its edge.

“Enough!” Griffin’s voice boomed. “This is training, not a damn dating show! Both of you, get up!”

Elliot finally stood, pulling Freya up with him. Her face was tomato-red, and while she glared at him, I noticed she didn’t pull her hand away.

When did your brother become such a smooth operator? Sophia asked through the nk.

No clue. This is news to me.

After training, the five boys huddled together.

–

“We’ve got pack business to handle, Magnus said. “Border’s been acting up need to beef up patrols.”

‘Be careful out there,” I said.

‘Don’t worry about us,” Lucian ruffled my hair. ‘You’r

the

ones who better not use trouble.”

‘When do we ever cause trouble?” I blinked in

All five of them rolled their eyes.

Once they left, we cleaned up and changed into formal clothes. Time to hit the ol

The place was quiet with most students in class. We headed for the principal’s office, but voices were already echoing from inside.

“Absolutely not!” Acacia’s father was practically yelling. I won’t let that little bit into this school! She’ll ruin everything!”

‘I get your concerns, came the principal’s tired voice. “But this is a direct order om Luna Isabella. You know I can’t ignore that.”

“Bullshit orders! That woman’s just being played by Evelyn! Mark my words – let them in and you’ll regret it!”

‘Look, I want to help you out, but my hands are tied. If I openly defy Luna Isabella’s orders, that’s career suicide.”

The three of us exchanged looks. Guess Acacia’s dad already knew we were coming.

“Let’s do this,’ I said, and pushed open the door.

Inside, Acacia’s father stood red-faced while the principal looked like he wanted to disappear.
