It was the day before the last game. It felt surreal. Sam had the day planned in detail. Everyone knew the last game was

always special. It was always focused on physical strength. Sam had us do some light training in the morning. He and

Matilda had planned a nice lunch and then he forced all of us to take a nap. I was feeling like a kid.

‘Wanna take the nap together?’ Finlay mind linked me.

‘Don’t even joke about it. Did you see the look in Sam’s eyes when Ramses said he didn’t feel like napping? I’m going

into my room and if I can’t fall asleep, I will pretend to snore,’ I told him. Finlay chuckled as he headed for his own room.

In the afternoon we all went for a run in wolf shape and then Sam had arranged for the healers to give us massages and

rub some kind of ointment into our skin. Matilda had a nice dinner prepared for us. We all assumed it was the end of

Sam’s plan so we headed for the TV. We had just got comfortable with our favorite game show when the TV turned off

and Sam stood in front of it.

“Time for bed,” he said. We all groaned as one.

“Sam, enough is enough. I appreciate everything you have done and planned for us. It’s seven o’clock and we have

napped for an hour today,” I objected.

“We need to be well rested for tomorrow,” he insisted.

“An hour of TV won’t kill us,” Finlay told him. Sam sighed.

“Fine! But when we are sleepwalking tomorrow, don’t blame me,” he told us and took his usual place.

“Sleepwalking from going to bed at eight?” Ramses asked. Sam just huffed. I smiled. We all handled nerves differently

and it made sense Sam handled his by training and planning. There was a good reason he was our Gamma. Five to eight,

Sam started to sigh. Ten past eight, we surrendered and headed for bed.

‘Last game tomorrow, Red,’ Finlay mindlinked me when I was in bed.

‘I know. Crazy.’

“You know the big formal dinner the night after the last game?” he asked.

‘I know. Medow had me trying on at least ten dresses for it,’ I told him.

‘Will you be my official date?’ he asked.

‘Took you long enough to ask. I would love to go with you.’
