My Secret My Bully My Mates - Season 1 Episode 83

I just want to crawl in a hole.

I know my cheeks are flaming and I focus very hard on the uneaten food on my plate.

I can’t make eye contact with anyone, I feel like such a freak No teenager acts the way I do.

I didn’t realize I brought that much attention to myself today.

Sierra isn’t one to exaggerate or embellish.

If she noticed all of that, who else did? I really don’t like everyone staring at me either, I have to figure out a way to change the subject.

I cleared my throat abruptly.

“So I heard that you are doing trials for elite warrior training because there are so many applicants and you’re going to let high schoolers participate.

Is that true? Are you going to start training high schoolers to be Elite Warriors? I blurted, hoping to get someone else to talk and take the conversation in a different direction.

“Uh, yeah.” Nickolas looked a little taken aback.

Many packs want their warriors trained well and going through the two year program allows us to fully train elite warriors and get them real life experience in peacekeeping , rescue and recovery, and battle strategy.

We don’t just train for war and not all packs understand that, so they have been sending more and more warriors for the Elite program trying to get enforcers and we fail most of them out within the first two days, so we now have a trial that lets us evaluate if someone is right to train in the elite program.

“You fail them in two days?” Mateo asks.

“Damn, isn’t that harsh? It’s hard to get to know someone in just two days]’

“That’s the point though.

To not know them, only to see them for the potential that they have to be an elite warrior.

There are qualities we have to see that cannot necessarily be taught.

It can’t be personal, we all have to detach, that’s the job.

It’s an intense line of work and we train as such.

There isn’t anything wrong with pack warriors, they are actually crucial to the safety and well being of each pack, and we have trainers for them as well, but the Elite Warriors are utilized differently so they are trained differently.” He finishes off vaguely looking at all the warriors surrounding him.

He has clearly had this debate before and wants to avoid a conflict.

“Do you implement the same training tactics for the ranked training that you do in the Elite training?” Oliver, of course, wants to know if he’s missing out on something.

“Some things, yes. You have to remember ranked members, like you guys have a pack to run. So while you need to Imow how to fight and protect your pack, the goal is to teach you how to not ever have the need for that. To teach you to always be ready for anything, but conflict resolution, pack growth and camaraderie are more important here on the home front_ You have and train warriors for a reason, to protect.

The Elite Warriors are sent on some of the most dangerous missions

We would never send a future Gamma on a mission, for example, where the possibility of not coming home is high and that is almost the whole scope of an Elite Warrior’s job description.

They are required to go undercover and sometimes go dark for months or years.

A certain personality is needed to do that.

“Damn, that sounds nuts and yet I have FOMO all at the same time.” Sam shakes his head and everyone laughs, breaking the tension.

I almost hate to admit it, but I agree with Sam.

It sounds nuts and yet it’s exactly what I need to get out of this pack and away from Kaley and all of her bullsh*

We all finished eating and the adults were conversing in their own little small groups.

Luna Ava made sure everyone had plenty to eat and drink, and I was able to finally scarf down my food when the guys got up and left to start their usual clean up routine.

With so many people it tooka few trips, so I didn’t feel super weird since several other people were still picking at their plates.

“Warrior Nikolas, how will the trails work? Obviously you are looking for recruits now, but are you also scouting for the future? Will you be doing the same two day elimination you have at your compound?” I can’t help but wonder if I could do it and get out of here sooner than I thought.
