The Omega and The Arrogant Alpha (by Kylie) novel Chapter 161

LILLY POV

When I got up the next morning after getting absolutely no sleep because I was worried about my friends from the last base, I felt so guilty because I didn’t find the time to call them after I arrived here. Now it was too late.

If any of them did survive, I wouldn’t know how to get in touch with them.

I could only hope that they find out where I am and they come to this base. It can be a safe haven and I’m sure they won’t turn away any other Hunters that need a place to train and live.

I’ll have to ask Justin about that today.

When I got to breakfast I sat down in my usual seat, with no one talking to me as usual. I was still an outsider and I don’t think they really trusted me yet.

They all seemed to be really cliquey and I knew that it was going to be hard to bust into that.

But pretty soon Ben, Eric and Jesse showed up and sat around me.

I guess we were our own clique. The new kids on the block or some shit like that.

Ben sat next to me and immediately I could smell that delicious aftershave that he wore. I started moving closer to him, without even realizing it.

I didn’t know what the hell had gotten into me.

But then my mind started trailing back to my old base and my friends.

I was doing everything I could to keep my mind occupied and not think about it. Or at least think happy thoughts and think that my friends had made it out safely.

I hope they avoided those damn werewolves. They had to. I needed my friends.

I just wish they knew that before all this happened.

Justin finally came over and sat down to talk to me.

“Have you heard anything?” I asked.

“Well, it’s going to take a while to identify all the bodies. And there are a lot of them. They have to use dental records.” Justin said.

“Thank you.” I said. So he got up and left.

“So, a whole base of Hunters were taken out?” Eric asked.

“Yeah. I was just there a couple of days ago. There was nothing going on that would indicate an attack like this.” I said. And I felt Ben put his arm on my back.

It gave me a chill down my spine, but at the same time, it felt really calming. It actually calmed me down enough that I could start to think straight again.

I didn’t want him to stop.

As soon as we finished breakfast, we found Justin and he told me that I could take some time. But I told him that I needed to keep my mind busy.

I needed to concentrate on something else.

So he took us to another area of the base and we walked into another building that I hadn’t been to before.

It was a large gym with mats all around on the ground. There was weight lifting equipment all over the place but a large space in the middle of the room where we could do a little hand to hand combat.
