Chapter 0239
3 long classes later I finally had a small break before my final class of the day, which was my combat course. That was the course that was going to determine my entire future, and my heart was in my throat. I sat in the student. lounge for the next hour, studying and doing homework from past classes.
I called Nan a couple more times since I’ve been seated in the lounge, but her phone kept going to voicemail. I sighed and shoved my phone back into my pocket, hating that she was ignoring me. A part of me wondered if she was mad at me, but then I brushed that thought out of my head. I hadn’t done anything wrong so there was no way she was mad at me.
Right?
I glanced at the time and gasped. I only had a few minutes to get to my combat class before I was late! Where had the time gone? I quickly shoved my belongings in my backpack and rushed out of the student lounge. Thankfully the gym wasn’t too far away and once I reached the combat center, my mouth nearly fell open. There were so many people there; students who weren’t in the class were eager to find out who was recruited to the Elite Gamma Force Competition. This was the kind of thing that only happened once every 10 years, so it was a huge deal.
“You’re late,” Professor Adams said as I walked through the front doors.
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“I lost track of time,” I told him.
He gave me a once over and dismissed me to the locker room to get my gym clothes on. He didn’t have to tell me twice. I rushed into the locker room and opened my locker with my combination. My gym clothes were hung up on the hook and I grabbed them before walking towards one of the bathroom stalls. Some of the girls changed in front of the others without shame… I wasn’t one of them. I liked my privacy.
When I finished changing into my tight–fitted yoga pants and workout bra, I stepped out of the stall and over the mirror. I pulled my long hair into a ponytail and adjusted my clothes, my heart still hammering in my chest as nerves got the best of me.
“Good luck, Judy,” A girl in my class, Emily, said as she stepped in front of the mirror next to me. “You’ve always been the best. I have faith that you’ll secure the spot.
I smiled at her, but I knew it didn’t reach my eyes.
“Thanks,” I said to her.
I’ve always been friendly with Emily, and it was nice to know that I at least had her support. Together, we walked back out into the gym. There were now even more students in the gym if that were even possible.
Alpha Levi and his Gamma’s were seated in the front row; one of them smiling. In fact, they looked almost bored. The class had already started, and a couple of students were sparring in the center of the gym. Don’t get me wrong, most of the class was good. We were the best class in this school, but I was slightly better than most of them.
“You’re going up against Bianca Armstrong,” he told me. And then Ralph Peterson.”
I nodded and glanced across the gym at Bianca who was wanning up with her friends, Bianca was huge and she was strong and fast. She was a fierce competitor, but I had beaten her before. However, she had beaten me before too, so I knew this was going to be a challenge.
Ralph was the best guy fighter in the class, so I knew he was also going to be a fierce competitor.

“Just remember, the rules are there is no shifting allowed during this fight. They want to see how you fight without your wolf,” he reminded me. It’s been a while since I shifted during class anyway, so that wasn’t going to be a problem.
