When I returned to the dorms that night, Luna and the others were already buzzing with gossip.
"Did you hear? Asher Frost actually left the training center early today!"
"What? The guy who practically lives there? No freaking way."
"Dead serious! Word is some Omega's challenge letter scared him off. Like, who has the balls to do that?"
I silently slipped toward the bathroom, trying to look innocent.
Luna caught my eye. "Elara, how was your training session today?"
"Pretty good. Made tons of progress." I kept my face carefully neutral.
While internally doing victory cartwheels.
Asher's spot was no joke—the energy was so concentrated that one day there equaled three anywhere else!
After my shower, Luna was still gossiping:
"Asher's ridiculously hot though. Elara, maybe you should shoot your shot?"
Me: "...Just because a guy's hot doesn't mean I'm automatically interested."
Thanks for the suggestion. I'd already "shot my shot", successfully scared an Alpha off, in fact.
