Chapter 37

“Honestly, why do we have to go to the opening ceremony? I mean for us courses have already started two weeks ago. Why can't we just have a break and head to the city? I haven't met some girls in a long time already. I need some female presence in my life. No offense alpha!" Marcus, the delta of the pack, quite irritated asked. The tall blonde man with blue eyes frowned irked because of the change of plans.

Celia slightly smiled and indeed took no offence. She had figured most of their personality by now, and knew that Marcus, who seemed more like a playboy, was actually still waiting for his mate. Even though he always talked about meeting girls, he had never left their group, when they were walking around the city to chase after girls. He only liked to talk about meeting them, but never strayed from the pack.

“Because his highness and half of the Council are also attending the opening. It would be disrespectful not to attend. Not to mention, this is also our opening ceremony. We did not have one two weeks ago." Evan, the gamma of the pack answered. The red haired man, with blue eyes and freckles on his nose, replied to him as he looked towards the ignorant Marcus.

Evan was the one that most resembled Celia, if only for the fact that he also did not talk much.

They did not argue more, as they already reached the showers, and divided into the women's and men's section.

Heading towards the Amphitheatre, they walked in an orderly fashion as they were always required to in the area of the Academy. Celia as the alpha walked second to last with Jake, the beta, who was half a step behind her on her right side. The rest of the pack were arranged in front of them in rows.

of two.

Their black distinct uniforms and the shining broaches, signifying their status among the new attendants of the Academy, kept the other students whispering. All of them were tall and handsome, and each one could attract attention by himself... as a group they were even deadlier. The girls were attracted to their strong alpha aura, while the boys felt respect.

For most new students, it was the first time seeing watcher candidates, as they were the only ones studying this course at the Academy. Second year students were having only practical training and

Moving their eyes towards the back of the group, the students gasped as a never before image appeared in front their eyes. The image of one lone girl amongst nine powerful alpha ranked + werewolves wasn't a sight that could be ignored.

Who is that? There is actually a girl beside the watcher students." Asked one of the second grade students wide eyed.

"I don't know. Are they allowing girls in the watcher courses now?" Another girl, just as baffled as the first, pondered about the woman dressed in the black professional uniform. Though her clothes were the same as the guys, strangely she did not look odd between them.

"Dummy, they never not allowed girls to take part in the watcher exams and courses. It is just that the exams are hard and one is also required to be at least a 3rd rank werewolf to actually participate. So no girls could take the admittance test, not to mention attend the courses.” Replied the first one, still trailing with her eyes the pack.

"But then how is she walking beside them? You can't tell me that she is actually 3rd ranked?" Wondered the second girl, not realizing how rude it was of her to point to the person in question, as she was talking.

“She must be. Don't you see she is wearing the same uniform? Though she must be last in the pack. Look she is all the way to the back."

"What do you mean pack?" Another younger girl who was actually the first girl's sister, intervened in

their discussion.

"The watcher students are the only group of students that work like a pack. When they begin the

ourses, they actually in a sense leave their old pack, and form a new one with their classmates. My brother said they do this so their bonds become stronger and they also work together better.” Replied a forth girl, just now joining in on the conversation. She had only arrived and heard their talk, but as she knew better about the watcher students' hierarchy, dared to inform the first three girls of what she knew.

“Jessie, your brother is actually in the watcher courses this year, right?” The third girl asked the fourth girl, realizing where her knowledge of the watcher students was coming from.

Hearing the new information, the two second year students immediately looked at the new girl who had just joined the conversation, interested in her connection to one of the members of the famous watcher students.

"Yup

he is! Actually, he is all the way to the back next to the girl." She said proud of her big brother.

“Ohhh... I see him. You said his name is Jake, right?" Asked the third student, who was actually jessie's classmate, while looking again to see the one she was referring to, just as the group had already walked to the entrance of the Amphitheatre.
