Chapter 0330
Judy’s POV
During the weekend we spent time doing training exercises Most of the time was spent in the gym and I barely had time to rest before the next week’s battles. However, Tabby and I did spend a little time celebrating after we got our official notices that we moved on to the next round.
We also got our schedules for the upcoming week. I was surprised that Group B doesn’t start until Wednesday as opposed to Tuesday like last week.
By the time Wednesday came around, Group B, who were split into smaller teams this morning, was ready for the next match.
We didn’t meet up at the arena like we did last week, instead, we were shuffled into buses and taken to the airfield where small planes sat, waiting for us. There were three of them to be exact.
I glanced up at the sky and saw that the drones were already recording everything that was happening, so I knew the competition was starting.
Levi, Mica, Jeremy, and Gavin were already at the airfield by the time the buses dropped us off.
Gavin’s eyes immediately found mine as I joined my team. Over the weekend when we were placed in these teams, we were given team shirts.
My group was red, which meant I wore a red shirt with the rest of my team.
There was also team blue and team green.
We were given a white flag, each with our names on it. It was said to be proof of our surrendering and we were expecting to bring them with us during this next portion of the competition.
If we forgot the flag, we wouldn’t be able to compete, and we’d be eliminated.
“Welcome to week two of the competition,” Alpha Levi announced.
We didn’t have the announcer because we weren’t in the arena, so Alpha Levi did the introduction.
The groups cheered and high–fived one another for making it to the next round while others just looked nervous, nibbling on their nails and lips.
“This week is crucial. This proves your survival instincts and your hunting skills. These planes are going to take each team to a different section of a deserted island. We hid 5 of your team flags in the forest on the island and you are expected to collect all 5 and bring them back to base, which is the arena outside of the resort. You have 48 hours to complete this task.”
Murmurs erupted around me.
All the questions were the same.
Was it really going to take 48 hours to collect 5 flags per team?
We weren’t prepared to spend multiple days on a deserted island; they didn’t tell us to pack anything so I assumed this would only take a couple hours like the other matches last week.
Tabby, who was on my team, also looked confused as she stood beside me.
“It’s up to you to come up with the resources you need for survival,” Levi continued, narrowing his eyes. “But be careful and use strategy. You might run into wild animals that aren’t friendly. But most importantly, opposing

teams are your enemies. Killing is not prohibited, but you may surrender if you feel you won’t survive the attack. If you surrender, you are giving the other player your white flag. The drone will capture it, and you will be retrieved by chopper and taken back to the base. If you surrender, you are forfeiting the competition, and you will be eliminated.”
More murmurs erupted throughout the crowd, my eyes went to Gavin who was watching me, his jaw tightened, and his eyes darkening.
“There are no rules to this match, but we do ask that if someone surrenders, refrain from killing them. You’ll be blindfolded so you won’t see what sections of the island you land on, but you should land roughly in the same area as your teammates. You’ll need to work together to complete this mission.”
Levi stepped side and allowed the other Lycans to guide each team to their designated plane. Tabby stayed by my side as we reached the entrance of the plane.
I was the last to board; just as I was about to step onto the steps after Tabby, I felt a hand around my wrist, stopping me. It was a gentle hold, but it still halted my heart.
I turned to see Gavin staring down at me. His dark eyes poured into me shining with something I couldn’t decipher.
Could it be worry?
“Don’t be reckless,” he said under his breath. “Surrender if you need to.”
I narrowed my eyes at him and pulled my wrist out of his hand. His lack of confidence was hurtful.
“I’m not backing down without a fight,” I told him just before I turned and boarded the plane.
There was a man that greeted me once I was threw the doors.
I noticed that everyone was seated with backpacks strapped to their bodies and blindfolds around their eyes. man smiled down at me as he strapped a backpack to my body as well, explaining how it worked.
