Chapter 8
Sam's POV
“She is here with her uncle and aunt while her parents are working for the Alpha King.” That got my attention. She who? Dad
didn't say anything about any girl visiting the pack.
Just as that thought flitted across my mind the most drop dead gorgeous girl struts onto the training grounds just ahead of my
father. She knew how to make an entrance. She casually glanced around the crowd and then made her way to the opposite end
as the guys and I. She was clearly talking to someone I couldn't see then turned around giving her full attention to my dad and
the other warriors training us today.
Dad had gone over this new move with us a few days ago so I wasn't really paying attention to the explanation, I was more
interested in the new girl.
“Did you know a new girl was coming into the pack?” I asked Dakota who was closest to me.
“Dad and mom said something about her doing her sophomore year here with us. Her parents work for the Alpha King and are
on some kind of mission, so she’s here with family.” He just shrugs.
“I call dibs, the girls around here are needy and boring, I'm over them.
“You call dibs, huh? What if she doesn’t want your ugly ass? Then what?” Oliver shoves my shoulder. “No way, I'm the best
looking out of all of us. If anyone is going to get her attention, it's me.” I reply, not taking my eyes off her.
The kids around me clearly are on the same page as me. I look at Mateo and the guys, their confusion is just as apparent as
mine is. I hear mumbles of “what?’ “30 seconds no way’ and giggles. “No one could complete that move in under thirty seconds,
let alone her.” A snarky high pitched male voice says loud enough for everyone to hear and causes a low chorus of agreement.
What this idiot doesn’t know is I did that yesterday. Moron. I need to figure out who it is and pair with him.
I can see both of the girls are laser focused on each other, a determined look in their eyes. They both look like warriors on a
mission.
“Just watch.” Is my dad's only, very dry, response. “Set...GO!"
Skylar moves immediately on the word “go’. Where the f*ck did that speed come from?! Sierra responds quickly though and tries
to feign to the left then duck down to catch Skylar with her shoulder. Skylar sends a knee up toward her chest and face, knocking
the wind out of her then makes an elbow strike to her back. Sierra wrapped her arms around Skylar's waist trying to force her
down. Instead of fighting the momentum, Skylar does with the momentum and twists so she falls on top of Sierra and shifts to pin
her throat to the ground with one of her knees and has her arm in a lock Sierra can't get out of. In the blink of an eye it's over and
the crowd is silent.
Skylar is still in fight mode, focused on Sierra's face. My dad walks up to her and has to pat her on the shoulder a couple of times
to get her attention. Once Skylar lets go of Sierra and helps her up, my dad looks over to where the guys and I are standing,
staring, probably with our jaws on the ground.
He looks at his stopwatch, then back up to us, smiling. Why is he smiling like that?
“Less than ten seconds, damn, Sorry Sam, she beat your best take down time... by a lot!” He says loud and clear while he
shrugs his shoulders at me, laughing a bit now, not being able to hold it back.
“The f*ck! What just happened?” Oliver says behind me.
“It was a blur. I think I blinked and missed half the fight.” Cameron says seriously.
"Sam's not the king of the hill anymore. That little bitty beta just took his crown.” Dakota laughs at me. I'm still in shock, but I can't
help joining him. I think I know my way in with Sierra.
My dad walks over and pats me on the shoulder. “Maybe you boys will take this training a bit more seriously, now. Those two are
your biggest competition and you didn't even know it. I may let Sky put all of you in your place.” He chuckles, walking off. “She's
the best trainee I've got, including you guys.” He throws over his shoulder. “And Sierra’s going to be a close second.
“That was the hottest thing I think I have seen since Summer training.”
“I think the girl from summer training was gay, and thought you were a pansy.” Dakota laughs at me.
“It doesn’t make two girls grappling any less hot.”
“No, no, no! You are not going to put my little sister on your “I'd bang that" list.” Mateo growls at us. "You're sister is growing up
my friend. I don't think those baggy sweats are doing her any favors. And watching her rolling around with Sierra, Ah! I am going
to have sweet, sweet dreams tonight.”
