The Lightning Wolf Chronicles (Evelyn and Nadia) novel Chapter 72

Chapter 72: Prove Yourself

Evelyn’s POV

“It’s not that they don’t want to help, Cyrus said, lingering in the doorway. “You’re new and Seraphina’s rumors aren’t doing you any

favors. But I saw you fight during selection. I know what you’re made of. Others will see it too.”

A hint of a smile crossed his usually serious face. “Your situation is weird, and some people here hate change, but we’ll figure it out.”

*Thanks. Really.” I pointed at the phone in his hand. “I’ll keep it safe so you can grab it tomorrow. Don’t want your dad freaking out

because you’re not answering texts.”

“Don’t take it to training,” he said firmly, surprising me with his intensity. Seeing my reaction, he softened his tone. “Sorry – just don’t let

Seraphina catch you with it. I bet she’ll search your stuff while you’re training.”

He paused. ‘I’ll get it at lunch. Honestly, if my dad knew I was helping a teammate, he wouldn’t mind.”

“If you’re sure.” I smiled. “In case our schedules don’t line up, I’ll leave it in my top desk drawer.”

Cyrus nodded and slipped out, closing the door silently behind him.

I set the alarm for 3:30 AM and crashed immediately. When it buzzed, I felt like I’d barely closed my eyes. Forcing myself up, I silenced it and rolled out of bed. My body screamed for more sleep, but I knew I’d adjust in a few days.

I quickly dressed in my training uniform and packed an extra set just in case. With Seraphina, better safe than sorry. Grabbing my boots, I crept downstairs in my socks to avoid waking anyone.

The kitchen was already buzzing with activity. Steam rose from stovetops and pans sizzled as Omegas filled containers with breakfast

items.

‘Excuse me, is Jenny or Henry around?” I asked an Omega who wasn’t handling hot cookware,

‘You must be Evelyn?” When I nodded, she smiled. “Perfect timing.” She handed me a green drink and a bulging paper bag.

“What’s all this?” I asked, surprised by how much was in the bag.

‘Jenny figured one drink wouldn’t cut it,” she said, showing me the contents. “These will help restore your energy after morning training.” She winked. “If it’s not enough, come back for more. I’ll put another bottle with your lunch stuff today and prep a fresh one tomorrow.”

“You’re a lifesaver,” I said gratefully. “Seriously, thank you. If I can ever help with anything…”

She waved me off with a smile and returned to work.

Standing at the starting line, I quickly realised this was a setup. Morning dew unde everything slippery, and the course spout had completely changed from before.

I ignored her and focused. The wooden posts required precise footing. The balance beam swayed violently, and the rings seemed taped farther apart than before. By the time I reached the ropes, my fingers were nearly numb, and I almost slipped multiple times in the final

platforms.

When I finished, I was covered in mud, sweat, and water. My palms were raw from the equipment, and the day had barely begun

Don’t worry, we’ll shift often now. No more hiding.

I don’t mind being your secret, she replied, as long as I get out occasionally. I just want to protect you.

When the training center came into view, we slowed down. We retrieved my bag from the obstacle course, and I tried to control my breathing, not wanting to show how tired I felt. I pulled out my energy drink, which drew Seraphina’s immediate attention.
