Rebirth vs. Rebirth: Tragedy to Triumph

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 snagged 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 their not–so-

stellar start.

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-

While packing up, someone accidentally bumped into Violeta’s backpack. She scowled, nudged the person away, and then sauntered off with her bag.

The person grumbled, “Gosh. What’s your problem…”

Violeta shot a glare, and the person wisely shut up.

Kaylee caught up with the grumbler and fired back, “Hey, you! You’re the one with problems. Your whole family’s a mess!”

“Oh wow, Violeta, you brought it back?!”

Violeta replied, “Tried to shoo it away, but it’s like Velcro. Had no choice but to bring it along.”

Kaylee tossed in her thoughts, “Maybe its mom bailed on it? That’s why it’s sticking to you, thinking you’re its owner. By tagging along with you, it won’t have to worry about finding food and water. It might’ve starved out there in the wild.”

“Are you thinking about keeping it?, It’s a wild wolf, still a pup, but who knows if it’ll keep its wild side it grows up.

Violeta kept silent momentarily, then said, “Nah, I’ll set it free in the wild when we return.”

After that, Violeta zipped up her backpack, flopped onto the bed, closed her eyes, and passed out.

When Zelena found out that Jezebel and Sonya didn’t hold Violeta back, their team even snatched first. place in the training!
