Osiston and Nickolas agreed with me that the circumstances were too coincidental to take lightly. More warriors have been posted around campus for our protection. Mina and I even suggested bringing in Wyatt and Nathaniel, they would pass as students and could be in class with us.
Osiston tabled that idea for now. He doesn’t want to scare the rogues away from us and if it looks like we have males near us giving off any type of territorial vibes the rogues might decide we are too much of a hassle to deal with and we could lose them.
The week went by quickly and I talked to Tyler almost every night through text. Mina said that talking to him on the phone is the next step closer to dating and I wanted to stay as far away as possible from giving off any of those signals.
Text was nice though, because we could just continue a conversation sporadically throughout the day.
If he is just doing a job to get my attention, he is very good at it They chose wisely in their recruiter. I cannot say the same for Robbie. That boy looks like someone put dog shit under his nose anytime we come near and I don’t know why.
Neither Mina or I have gone out of our way to talk to him, but we haven’t gone out of our way to be rude either. But, Tyler and even Mike have been pleasant to talk to and they have taken to walking with us to classes, ‘making sure we get there safely’ when she and I can’t walk together.
As the run approaches, I feel myself getting nervous. It’s not a real date, logically I know that, but this is still the first time a guy has asked me to go do something. The guys don’t count. They always did things in a pack and Sierra and I just became a part of the pack. He invited me and I decided Mina was coming with me because this sh*t is scary.
I know I told Tyler I would wear baggy sweats, but I have found myself wanting to try a little bit to impress him. It’s weird, because I don’t get the tingly butterflies in my stomach at the thought of him, or anyone for that matter and don’t have any urge for him to hold my hand or any of that mushy stuff, but I still enjoy the attention he gives me. It’s a very strange, very platonic thing.
I opt for a cropped black t-shirt and gray joggers with my usual running shoes. My very long blonde hair is pulled up into a ponytail. I look like me, just put together. I stopped Mina from trying to put make-up on me. That was going too far and not anything I would normally do anyway. We are going to workout and then shift and run full force. I could not care less about how I look.
This was the part my wolf and I are so excited about. We have been practicing the shift while maintaining clothes on and working with our mind link. We have also been going in and out of wolf form during sessions with Nickolas, which has actually been a lot of fun, but we have not run full out since being off the warrior compound training grounds. I’m a little afraid of what my stamina is going to look like and Mina only laughed at me when I voiced my fears.
“Seriously? If you struggle even a little bit, you will still probably smoke the rest of the guys we are running with. Maybe you will look a little closer to ‘standard warrior# She air quotes at me while using a mocking voice.
“What are you talking about? You keep up with me just fine.
Are you going to show them up tonight?’
