Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 Does the Wolf Cub Think Violeta's It's Mom?

The rest of the top nine teams rolled in

Violeta's crew rightfully snagge first place, and by the time the sun peeked over, all the teams gathered

The chief instructor stood tall on the platform, announcing Violeta's squad as the champs, Not just that, they broke Hayden's team record from three years back, now owning the crown for T Military Training. The four lined up all military-like on the platform, soaking in the cheers,

Violeta kept a poker face while Jezebel and Sonya were all smiles, completely shrugging off

Soon, the teams split up

Everyone returned to the tents for a night's shut-eye, and they'd be off the hook after an afternoon meet-up.
