It was time to see just what these wolves were made of. My eyes scanned the field before me, all wolves of shapes, sizes, and genders were mingling, waiting for the start of training. Some women were in deep conversation while some men were roughing each other up or stretching. The training regimen my fellow warriors and I came up with was approved by Gamma Kwame since Neron hasn’t been seen since our little encounter in his office.

I cross my arms as I sit on a rock with one leg folded over the other. Next to me was a pile of training weapons I obtained from the gym, including fake swords. From the naked eye, I could not tell which of these wolves was worthy of the Delta title. My hopes were high when training had begun, but as time went on, I became unimpressed.

“I say we have them pair up,” Sapphire suggested, tying her long blond hair in a high ponytail. “I want to see where they are at.”

“Hmm. I think that’s too easy.” Darien shook his head. “We need to test their resolve. We won’t know who is strong unless we test them ourselves. I’m sure there are a few cocky individuals who don’t take kindly to

newcomers.”

“There’s always a couple of those in every pack.” Jackie huffed as Abigail trailed next to her. “Pairing them up would help us gauge who would start with what specialty.”

Getting down to business, she placed two fingers in her mouth, ringing out a sharp whistle that snapped all heads towards the six of us. “Everybody line up!” In seconds, the men and women formed a horizontal line in front of us.

“Before we all get started, let me ask you all a question,” I spoke, my voice rigid with authority. It felt good. “By a show of hands, how many of you believe that your wolf strengthens you?”

Unsurprisingly, many hands shot up in the air. I nodded. “Okay, hands down. How many of you all believe you are nothing without your wolf?”

Again, many hands go up..
