Chapter 286

Hacker

Last night, Wendy and I got a lot of work done digging the trench for the security lines. We made it a game, and I love her competitive spint Her wolf is beautiful and my wolf, Saggio, purred loudly at how beautiful Dasha is. She stood proudly, letting him look her over. Then the d rubbed her face against his, her wolf showing mine the same affection that Wendy showed me. I’m glad that her wolf seems to accept us as

much as the woman does.

By the time we got back to the packhouse, showered, and ate dinner, it was late and we were both exhausted. Since Hijack made a point of joining us for dinner, and Yana had followed him like a cute little puppy, I didn’t have any time to steal more kisses.

This morning I sent Sphinx a message in our chat.

Me: See if your father will let you spar with Hijack today.

Sphinx: Why? Why not you?

I love that she’d rather spar with me than Hijack. But this is important.

Me: He’s going to realize that something is up if he hasn’t already. I want you to prove to him that there’s no weakness on our team.

Sphinx: I’m not sure Dad will let me. He’s very protective of me.

Me: Defeat him and then tell him you want to spar with someone else. He’ll be surprised, but I bet he’ll allow it then.

Sphinx: Okay…

I can feel her anxiety through the chat.

Me: You can do this. Just like we did yesterday. Push past your fear. I have faith in you.

Sphinx: Thanks, Hacker

Me: Thank me by taking your father down today.

I’m sure if the camera was on, I’d see her rolling her eyes.

I close the chat and get ready to spar. It’s always nice to work with a new group of people when you’re sparring. There’s always something

new to learn.

When we get to the sparring field, Sphinx and Yana come to stand beside me and Hijack. Warren and Yorick notice, but they don’t say anything until they assign partners. Then they call both girls away.

“You want to tell me what’s going on with you and Sphinx?” Hijack says, turning toward me.

I could take his question two different ways, sol choose the easier one.

“I identified a potential weakness that I believe I’ve now eliminated,” I say, nodding at Wendy when she turns to look at me.

She presses her lips together and turns to face her father.

“And you didn’t think it was important to tell the rest of the team about this weakness?” he growls.

“Not if I could eliminate it before it became a problem.”
