\u201cMy wolf will heal, a medic isn\u2019t necessary,\u201d I assured them as we walked into the resort health clinic. It was crowded with all the competitors getting medical attention; some in worse shape than others. \u201cSave the staff for someone who needs it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s required amongst all participants,\u201d Alpha Levi told me as he stared aimlessly at his phone, as if he had no other care in the world. I sat on the medical bed, staring up at the ceiling, feeling way more exposed than I wanted to feel. I still wore a blanket draped over my shoulders, covering my naked body, but I still felt odd without any clothing. It shouldn\u2019t be a big deal because we are shifters after all and shifters are naturally comfortable in the nude. But I\u2019ve never been one of them.<\/p>\n
I still had a little thing called modesty. Kk<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019ll be recruited by several packs,\u201d Levi told me, his eyes never leaving his phone. \u201cI hope you choose wisely. You are now a part of the Elite Force.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I have to choose right now?\u201d I asked, nibbling my lip. \u201cI\u2019m still in school for another half a year and I\u2019d like to finish it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Levi nodded, his eyes still fixed on his phone, as if he wasn\u2019t interested in a thing I was saying. I pressed my lips together, biting my tongue.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, of course. Finish school and when you make a decision on where you want to be, reach out to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou?\u201d I asked, raising my brows.<\/p>\n
No offense to him, and I knew he was a Lycan, but I had access to Gavin Landry, who was the most powerful of the Lycan chairmen, so having gone to Levi seemed pointless.<\/p>\n
He finally looked up from his phone, his eyes narrowed.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen it comes to the Gamma Elite Force, I\u2019m in charge,\u201d he told me, his eyes darkening with something I couldn\u2019t figure out. It gave me an uneasy feeling though. I wanted to question him about that; just because they appointed him in charge of this competition, doesn\u2019t mean he was solely in charge of the Gamma Elite Force.<\/p>\n
Before I could say another word, the door swung open. I was relieved to see Nan and Irene returning; they left so they could find me some clothes. When I saw the shorts and tank top in Irene\u2019s hand, I let out a breath of relief.<\/p>\n
\u201cI got clothes,\u201d she sang as she approached my bedside.<\/p>\n
Nan was frowning when she noticed the look on Alpha Levi\u2019s face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope we aren\u2019t interrupting,\u201d she said, his brows pinched together.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot at all,\u201d I say, grabbing the clothes from Irene and sliding off the bed. \u201cI\u2019m just going to change in the bathroom.\u201d<\/p>\n
I walked into the bathroom on the far side of the room and quickly changed. When I looked at myself in the mirror, sighed. I had scratches and bites all over my face and neck. They weren\u2019t mating marks, but marks indicating that I was just in a fight. I reached my hand, wincing at the tender flesh.<\/p>\n
Some of the weapons were laced in wolfbane, that much was clear to me now. I wondered how many of them were and what the purpose of that was.<\/p>\n
I left the bathroom to find Levi seated in the corner still on his phone. Nan andnoveldrama<\/p>\n
Irene were seated near my bed, waiting for me.<\/p>\n
\u201cHow are you feeling?\u201d Nan asked as I got back into the medical bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy face hurts,\u201d I told her. \u201cI think some of the weapons used had wolfsbane.\u201d<\/p>\n
Levi looked up from his phone, a smirk on his face.<\/p>\n
\u201cNot everyone noticed,\u201d he replied. \u201cSome of the competitors also had wolfsbane laced claws.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I gasped.<\/p>\n
He nodded, a light chuckle escaping his lips.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere were no rules this round,\u201d he reminded me. \u201cThey could do whatever they wanted. As could you.\u201d<\/p>\n
That could have been seriously dangerous, but I guess that was kind of the point. Soon, one of the medics came into the room and assessed my injuries. He gave me a cream that helps heal my cuts and scratches and then checked over the rest of my body before sending me on my way.<\/p>\n
As soon as I left the health clinic, I was bombarded by even more paparazzi, thankfully, Levi was there to get me through the crowd, leaving questions unanswered. He guided me into a private area where there were a few men waiting for me, including the other Lycans, which also meant Gavin was there too.<\/p>\n
