They each wrap an arm loosely across my legs and I can feel my cheeks burn at being so close to
both of them like this.
It’s one thing for them all to throw me around when we are at training or messing around.
That feels like brotherly affection, but like this, it’s different.
I can’t even touch the ground sitting on their laps like this.
It’s the first time being small has made me flustered.
I try to wiggle forward to try and put my feet on the ground so I can take a little weight off their legs,
but someone grabs my knee.
“Let’s not do that, Tiny. Otherwise we will have a problem you won ‘t want to fix. Cam whispers low
so only Kota and I hear. I freeze, Kota lets out a small huff of amusement.
I’m not even sure if I can move at all now.
Logically, I know he was just teasing me, but this is so uncomfortable.
This is not a situation I have ever had to deal with before.
My heart is racing and feels like it is going to pound out of my chest.
I don’t even feel like this on a hard workout day.
And I am sure they can hear my erratic heart, making me blush harder.
“Breathe, Smalls. And relax” Kota whispers.
I do my best to sit and join in the small conversations going around the table.
There are so many people here, it’s almost overwhelming.
As we ate and talked, Cam moved his left arm behind my back, but Kota adjusted so he could eat
with his right hand.
As soon as he took a bite though, he would put down his fork and drape his massive arm across my
lap so I essentially had a twin seat belt.
I had no idea what to do, I was afraid to move.
I have never been this close to a boy like this, ever. “You feeling okay, Bite Size? You’ve barely
touched your food.” Oliver asks from next to Kota.
Why do these guys notice stupid things like my eating habits, but can’t wrap their heads around sh*t
going down at or around school?
Before I can answer, Warrior Nicholas looks over at us.
“How long have you all been training together? You all move like a unit.
Even when you were paired up the rest adjusted around the group.
It takes years for most teams to gain that.
“We have all been training since we were about five. All the guys have been doing the extra
summer training at the Alpha King’s training compound since the eighth grade. Sierra and Smalls
joined us back in November.” Kota says after swallowing a mouthful of food.
“Really?! I never would have thought they joined your training recently.” Nickolas replies.
Sierra snorted.
“We didn’t just start training.
We both have been training independently as long as the guys have.
We just allowed them to join the extra training that we do.” Sierra chimed in and I’m glad she did, I
wasn’t quite sure how to take his comment.
It could have been either a compliment or an insult.
Warrior Nickolas eased my mind when he replied.
“I wasn’t implying that you were untrained.
Only that, to get that level of nonverbal understanding and have a natural trust and a connection to
move the way you all do, usually takes years and a lot of real world experience.
It’s impressive.
More impressive knowing you all became a full group rougly six months ago.” He thought for a
minute and then carne back with; What do you mean you allowed them to join you?” He gestures to
the guys when he says ‘them.’
“Well, the crazy small girl here trains like she’s preparing for the next apocalypse.
You saw her today.
She’s the only one that went two rounds and she did it back to back against the future Gamma and
a future Alpha and she handed both of them their asses, barely breaking a sweat.
Then to wrap it all up nicely she completed the human versus wolf training and the only one you
yourself couldn’t submit.
And we were with you for over six hours after the rest of the training group left_ She got there
before all of us, meaning she probably did an hour of cardio before anyone else showed up.
Today was a ‘regular’ day for her.
She air quotes.
“She’s also the top student and helps Delta Kyle train all the juniors and pups.
Yeah, we all train with her.
Sierra giggles and the rest of the table follows suit.
My eyes are wide and I can feel my cheeks flush at her words.
I can’t look anyone in the eye, I hate having this much attention on me.
