Audrey’s POV
The training area was nearly empty. The fight had ended, but my body sure hadn't forgotten. Every muscle screamed, my arms felt like lead, but my head was clear.
I went toe-to-toe with Luke and didn't embarrass myself. The pack saw it, too.
I should've felt like I won something. But the way he looked at me right before he walked off stuck with me.
It was like... approval. Respect, sure. But something else too, and I couldn't put my finger on it.
Mira stretched next to me, popping her knuckles. Well, that was... something.
Aiden grinned. I thought for sure he was gonna chuck you across the field.
I rolled my eyes. Thanks. Real supportive.
Mira laughed. Hey, you lasted longer than most. And you lived! Sounds like a win to me.
I shook my head, but I didn't argue.
Aiden
