“Come on! Is that all you got?!” Jacqueline shouted at the soldiers, ignoring the one groaning under her heel. Her nose flared with every inhale and her braided hair was disheveled. Some soldier trainees flinched in fear from their Beta’s thundering voice. Since she came back from Zircon Moon, the woman busied herself with exercise and training. Working up a sweat provided a distraction from the chaos looming in the air.

As some trainees were brave enough to attack, their female Beta swiftly defeated them, her muscles rippling underneath the scorching sun. Before she knew it, all the trainees were scattered on the ground, defeated. A. Delta called for a time out. Jacqueline groaned. There wasn’t anyone left to fight her, and it frustrated her. Disappointed, she grabbed a towel and a water bottle and took a break on a secluded bench. All the worried energy she hoped to burn off returned with a vengeance.

Losing Kiya angered her. If she had the opportunity, she’d find Osiris and rip open his chest for taking her best friend. Her anger rushed through her like hot lava, fists balling up and her jaw clenched with her unsteady, ragged breathing. She remembered their initial meeting like it was yesterday; her frailty became Jacqueline’s motivation to befriend her. Small, adorable, and full of promise, the Beta watched as Kiya grew from a scared pup to a powerful woman.

Her best friend. Her sister.

She wanted to protect her, always. But her stay at Zircon Moon opened her eyes, truly, to the terrors Kiya faced. Nothing about what they did made sense to her. Jacqueline grew up believing all packs had a duty to protect their members with love. But Kiya wasn’t the first person to prove

her wrong.

Without warning, fingers flicked her nose, causing her to flinch and growl. Jerking her head behind her, she was face–to–face with her identical twin brother’s knowing smirk. She wanted to punch Dwayne in the face, but threw her sweaty towel at him instead.

“Gross.” He muttered, throwing it over the spine of the bench. “How did you not hear me sneaking up on you? That is unlike you, Jack.”

“I was thinking.” Jacqueline grumbled, rolling her eyes. “Don’t you have Beta business to attend to? Last time I checked; it isn’t ‘Annoy Your Sister‘ Day.”

“Ha, its every day in my book.” Dwayne laughed. “But, that’s not why I’m here. I wanted to check up on you to see how you’re doing.”

“As you can see,” She gestured to her body. “I’m fine.”

“You aren’t.”

“I am.”

“Jack, you can’t lie to me. Twins can’t lie to each other; it is a sixth sense thing we have going on.”

“Ugh.” Jacqueline pinched the bridge of her nose. As much as she hates being checked up on, she missed Bonus brother. The months away from him made her appreciate how lucky she is to have him in her life. Sight 00:59 regarded her brother with a look. Dwayne took it as an invitation to sit beside her on the bench, grasping her

hand.

“Tell me what’s wrong, little sis.”

“It’s just…” She sighed. “I’m concerned about Little Bit, bro. We don’t know if she’s okay. I’m terrified and I’m so fucking pissed off at everything that has happened. We don’t have any answers. But I feel like I failed, somehow.”
