Chapter 239
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 Ive 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 hadnt 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 wasnt too far away and once I reached the combat center , my mouth nearly fell open .
There were so many people there ; students who werent 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 .
Youre 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 didnt 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 wasnt 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 .
Youve always been the best .
I have faith that youll secure the spot .
I smiled at her , but I knew it didnt reach my eyes .
Thanks , I said to her .
Ive 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 Gammas 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 .
Dont 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 .
Youre 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 .
Its been a while since I shifted during class anyway , so that wasnt going to be a problem .
