My Pack Management class is different than his, but he still needs to know how to manage a pack. I’ve been able to give him insights on managing the kitchen and pack hospital since I do that back home. In turn, he’s helped me with the limited financial information that I need to know for my Pack Management class. Since I wasn’t involved in the financial side of things with Shane and Christian, I had no idea how to incorporate that into my studies. But Lorenzo did, and that’s where he helped me.
Since I’m on the warrior track, he and I take all the same fighting and sparring classes, which is great. He and I are the top two students in this class and because we like challenging each other, we continue to work hard to get better, but we still help each other.
I can feel myself getting stronger. I recognize that I’m becoming a smarter, more intelligent fighter. Alpha Dane is an incredible instructor. He can pinpoint your weaknesses in under five minutes and then he can exploit them. He’s not only teaching all of us to do the same, but he’s also teaching us how to eliminate our weaknesses, making everyone a stronger fighter.
I knew from the couple of times that I sparred with Alpha Sebastian helping me and Christian helping me that I would learn a lot at the Academy, but I had no idea that it would be like this. Christian was right. The confidence I’m gaining while being here is incredible.
And then, there are the Communication and Dealing with Conflict classes. Communication is part of the Pack Management curriculum, but Alpha Dane suggested that I take Dealing with Conflict because of what happened to my parents and in my pack. I have both of these classes with Lorenzo, and they are probably the toughest classes for me.
I had no idea of the anger I was harboring because I lost my parents so young. I knew I hated Dorian for what he did, but the level of anger and anguish that welled up in me in those classes wasn’t something that I had anticipated.
Through it all, Lorenzo was there for me.
Then, when he’d broken down, saying how terrified he was that he might follow in his father’s footsteps and fail at the Academy, I had been there for him.
These are the deep, meaningful, lifetime friendships that you build when you’re at the Academy.
When I arrived, I hadn’t expected to get on the leaderboard, it hadn’t even been on my radar. However, about three months in, Lorenzo showed me that both of us were on track to make the

From then on, I wanted it. I needed it. I worked harder, pushed harder, and Lorenzo was right there with me.
Now, when I return home, I will do so with my head held high.
I left home a sweet, naïve young Alpha who didn’t know what she wanted in life. But now, I’ll be returning home a stronger, more powerful woman who knows exactly what she wants.

I never truly understood the phrase ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder‘. I always thought it meant that when you’re away from someone, you forget the bad things and only remember the good.
