Chapter 3
Tren’s POV
The assembly hall buzzed with anticipation as I stood there, battered and bruised, among the numbers of pristine girls.
As the doors swing upen, revealing the entrance of the male wolves, the murmurs amongst the many eager girls instantly grew
hushed.
I scanned the room in one last desperate attempt to find Frin among the numerous faces, however find little fuck when she was
nowhere to be seen…
My heart rate quickened as I took a deep breath, summoning every once of courage I could muster as i glanced towards the doors to see the large outlines of the entering males… who rach of which remed far too huge in height than what was necessary!
I quickly darted my eyes downwards, not wanting to make my unwanted eye contact with any of the beasts hoping that none of them would even think to wander up towards the back of the hall Jurany own sake…
The wolves were majestic and insposing, their presence alone seeming to push masses of dominant energy out became almost suffocating to be around..

“Ok ladies! I would like to introduce you all to the Blood Royals‘ pael We are extremely proud to say that the pack had actually requested to visit our campus first out of all other facilities to make their judgement!” The familiar voice of Mrs Felicity announced out in to a microphone her tone now very different to her usual frostiness.
She seemed to be putting on the whole “I’m so sweet act for the males, which was no surprise to me however I still chose to keep my eyes fixated on my bare feet below – despite the inch of amusement that bubbled beneath the surface.
This is so embarrassing was all I could think, as I stared down at my (thankfully painted) red toenails below being the only girl in the room with no socks or shoes on!
“You know how this works girls, but I am here to remind you all one last time before we begin – just incase any of your memories are foggy amongst the excitement! Mrs Felicity continues with a fulle giggle, causing my skin to itch with discomfort.
“The lovely males h here will take a little walk around to look at you it and you WILL remain silent unless directly spoken to!” She exaggerates the “will” as a soft threat to anyone who would dare to go against her training in front of such established creatures.
Mrs Felicity knew just as well as we did that these wolves could have her position on campus stripped if they ever suspected that she wasn’t doing a great job, I would imagine that her job pays exceptionally well too so she wouldn’t want that since it was considered a respectable position after all!
“The males will then take down three of your numbers which you all should have memorised for today and those lucky three will proceed to a further interview stage lasting around fifteen minutes before that same three will be narrowed down to two or maybe even one depending on how well you do!” She explains, detailing the process just as we had been taught it year in and year out.
I just needed this whole thing to speed up so that I could get out of here! I even wished for the ground to open up beneath my feet and swallow me whole in this scenario which would be my more favourable option!
If Mrs Felicity sees me looking like this she will no doubt lose her mind with me too… I’ll be expecting a definite punishment for just standing here like this no doubt!

My heart rhend, knowing all too well that my appearance betrayed any hope of being chosen today, yet all I could worry over nine was whether Erin would be chosen or not.
All we both ever wanted was to be picked by males from the same |k with at least some hapo of seeing one angiber again – Int perhaps I’ve mined that chance for us both now!
Seconds stretched in to long, agonising minutes as I squirmed from foot in font anxiously arms folded to cover up my exposed stomach as best I could…
I could hear little conversations sparking up from armand the torminating that the wolves had stopped to question some of the girls already which could no doubt be taken as a good sign for
So far, I was grateful that none had seemed to approach our corner the room, but with that thought alone my heart was suddenly stopped by the sight of two large expensive looking black sneakers coming in to my view…

“LOOK AT ME WHEN I SPEAK TO YOU HUMAN!” My mouth falls in horror at realising just how rude he must think I am….
Damn it if I’ve already pissed one of them off- that’s the last thing need!
With that, I crank my neck up slowly, deciding that my best bet her would be to do as he says and hopefully, he will spare my life before he leaves this place….

Those eyes… holy mother of…
Hm. Is all he mumbles, as he cucks his head slightly to the side and furrows his brows in slight confusion.
His facial features were stern and sculpted, his jaw chiselled by the Gods themselves. His hair was dark, almost black, contrasting with his piercing green eyes which any girl in here could easily get lest in… and just to top it all off, he didn’t even look that old despite his stubble, tattoos and muscles screaming otherwise he was still young, maybe in his early twenties?

“Tessa what the hell happened to you? Where are your shoes?” I rambled, fully glancing me ever as her hands reached out for
my shoulders in a panic.
With that, 1 completely folded, sobbing out loudly before my friend crushed me in to her chest–choosing to sit in the corner with me in her arms regardless of who was watching us now.
She thankfully still looked just as perfect as she did this morning… unlike me….
“Shh it’s ok now! You done fine! You held it together well!” Erin busted me, rubbing comforting circles across my back as I choked
and sniffled for air.
“I–It was them again… it was Jessica, Molly and… and all of the girls in my dance class… th they hit me, kicked me, ruined my hair and makeup and they even tossed my stuff out of the window including my shoes Erin!” I pull back from her hold in order to recant the story of what had happened, my head thumping viciously.
All I want is to go back home… back to my room where I can hide in there and cry alone… away from this dreadful place!
“Those damn bitches! Out of all of the days to decide to do this too, and they had to pick this one?! Erin complains, sharing my frustration as she wipes my face with her sleeves as best she can.
I open my mouth to continue, before the same little bell rings – causing Erin’s eyes to widen as she pulls me up to stand with her.
They didn’t even give us five minutes!
“It’s going to be ok! We will be home soon don’t worry I’ll see you back there ok? I love you!” Erin gives my shoulders a squeeze, as I nod and wipe at my own face to hide my tears as best as possible

“So let’s not waste any time then girls! If you hear your number for group one, then make your way towards the exit doors to be shown to the appropriate roof for the interview!” She explains, as high, hating that I have to endure this whole process in such a
state.
