Chapter 191
“You have no idea what you’re talking about and you for sure don’t deserve respect or any kind of
obedience. What time is training in the morning, 5am? I believe you wanted me there early. Is that
still the case or is 5am satisfactory for you, ma’am?” I ask standing up with my half empty tray. I’m
done sitting here listening to this b*tch try and sabotage me by insinuating stuff. No one knows why
I’m here and she isn’t going to bait me into talking about it. And she’s lost her mind if she thinks that
I’m just going to blindly follow her. I just stand there staring at her. The ball is in her court, she can
either back down on her ridiculous need to feel in power by giving me commands or be a decent
team leader and lead.
“5 am, outside at the ropes course. Do not be late.”
“I wouldn’t dream of it.” I walk off to dump my trash and see if I can find one of the kitchen omegas
to see if I will be able to get some food or a snack early tomorrow morning.
Lillian, Nathaniel and Wyatt all get up to follow me. We head into the common area, but I cut back
towards the kitchen.
“Where are you going?” Lillian asks. “We’re not supposed to bug them while they are cleaning.”
“I have to ask about getting something for breakfast, even if it’s leftovers. Otherwise Audrina is
going to make sure I can’t last during training tomorrow and I can’t have her starting or spreading
any more rumors about me. She’s already telling people that I slept my way here. My fighting needs
to speak for itself and I can’t do that if she keeps messing with my meal time. I’ll be back in just a
couple minutes.” I head into the kitchen which is bustling with about ten people moving quickly but
not in a rush, just a well oiled machine that is on the move.
I look around and spot an older man and woman deep in conversation over a few sheets of paper
on the central prepping island. I walk to them.
“Excuse me, I just have a question when someone has a minute.” I say loud enough to be heard
over the din of all the pots, pans and utensils being moved around the room and put back into their
respectful places.
“Oh dear, you know you shouldn’t be in here. You really should put in meal requests with your floor
leader.” The woman looks at me sternly. Of course that’s who I would have to go to.
“Oh, I am so sorry, I didn’t know. My name is Skylar. Today is only my first full day and I am still
learning.” I try playing the young and innocent card. “My floor leader actually wanted to meet with
me early tomorrow and I think I might miss breakfast. I was hoping to plan ahead a little and maybe
have something set aside, even just a small container of any leftovers would be perfect to get me
started. I didn’t want to wait until after everything was all cleaned up before I asked. I can even mix
my own protein shake if we have the ingredients, I don’t want to trouble anyone.” I look between her
and the man.
