Kennedy

“Kennedy, wake up,” I hear Quirin’s voice.

I open my eyes and see him sitting beside me on the bed. “Listen, I know training didn’t go well with you yesterday. I understand you haven’t really received any training, but I’d like to at least work on your defensive skills. I’d like to know that you can defend yourself if we’re attacked. Echo is really fast and that gives you the upper hand if something were to happen. But if someone got to you, you’d need to be able to get away from them in order to run or at least fight them off so you could run. I’d feel better knowing that you had some knowledge and skills in that area, but I don’t want to train you in front of the other warriors, not right now anyway. Are you okay with that?”

“I have no problem learning defensive skills, Quirin. I’ve just never been a fighter. It’s not who I am,” I tell him.

“I understand,” he says, then looks away. “Well, no, I don’t really, but if you’re against fighting, then at least let me train you on defensive maneuvers so I know you can protect yourself if something happens and I’m not around to protect you.”

I think about what I overheard the other warriors saying yesterday. “I don’t want to be a liability to you or the pack, Quirin.”

“You’re not a liability, Kennedy. I just need to know that you can protect yourself, okay? Maybe this evening after dinner we can spend some time away from the others and we can start practicing.”

“I’d like that.”

“I would too,” he says, smiling his Quirin smile and leaning over to kiss me. I wrap my arms around him, but much too soon, he’s pulling away. “I have to go.”

“Okay,” I say, watching him leave.

When he does, I get up and shower, ready to start my day. He told me I could order whatever I thought we needed for the hospital and since I have no idea what we can afford, I’ll put in an order for what I think is most critical and see if it goes through.

As I walk downstairs, I smell the scent of fear coming from one of the hallways.

“Leave me alone, Arlo.” It sounds like Christy.

“Don’t be like that, Christy. I saw you looking at me. I know you want me.”

“Let go of me,” she says, and I stride into the hallway.

“Is there a problem?” I ask. I can see that he’s got her cornered in the hallway.

“No problem. Christy and I were just talking, weren’t we, Christy”

“Shouldn’t you be in warrior training, Arlo?” I ask, stepping up beside Christy.

Arlo turns and looks at me, sneering. “Mind your own business, pup.”

Before I can respond, there’s a snarl from the other end of the hallway. “You’d better watch your fucking mouth, Arlo. Don’t you dare disrespect your Luna,” Beta Kier snarls.

He looks me up and down and snorts, as if he doesn’t accept me as his Luna. I’m sure he doesn’t but at the moment, I don’t
