The Lycan Prince’s Puppy
Chapter 15
“You’re not really sending us outside in the middle of the night, right?” A female voice
asked the same thing I was thinking.
Someone else groaned loudly, “It’s better than last year when we were locked in a tiny room for hours!”
The class began laughing, but I didn’t join them. All I could think about where the thousandth scenarios where something could go seriously wrong. Not just outside of the
gates, but in this Elite Team as general.
Was I even ready to protect this school?
Not to mention, I hated working in teams. Back home, I always got picked as last, and till
this day, I still lived in fear of being nothing more than a leftover. I could only hope
Rochwall would be the one choosing teams.
“All you have to do,” Rochwall said, clapping his hands together, “is deliver the package
within twenty–four hours, and that’s it. The winning team will get extra credits, and their
team leader will be named the new captain of the Elite Team.”
Now people began whispering, hearing about the new bit of information involving the captain of the Elite Team. I knew there would be several leaders for the smaller groups,
but there would always be one captain in charge of the entire squad.
I knew the previous captain, Jessie because he was one of Dylan’s close friends. Whenever
he came to visit during the break, he would throw me a friendly smile. Now after being captain for three years he had graduated and went back to his pack to become the
general.
I didn’t care about winning or getting my leader the captain position. I just didn’t want to
fail or hold back the team.
“The first person I’ll be naming team leader for Group 1, who will be running for captain, is…” Rochwall looked around. “Kylan!”
My eyes widened as I turned my head.
Of course, it had to be him. He was their golden boy who could do no wrong. If only they

knew what they were dealing with.
People cheered him on as he got up from his chair with a stoned expression like he didn’t expect otherwise.
Now I was hoping Rochwall would let them pick their own teams after all, because I was certain he wouldn’t choose me.
Rochwall named three other team leaders–two guys and one girl–who joined Kylan at the front.
“Kylan,” Rochwall said, “you’re up first.”
Kylan’s eyes scanned the room. They landed on me for less than a split–second, but I quickly lowered my head. “Am I allowed to pick anyone, or does it have to be a specific role?”
“Your team, your decision,” Rochwall replied.
“Nate,” he spoke before Rochwall had even finished.
Everyone in the room let out a collective groan as not a single person had not been expecting it.
“Just get married already!” someone called out, causing the room to erupt in giggles. Even I couldn’t hold back a chuckle.
Nate walked to the front with a lazy, slightly embarrassed smile and joined Kylan’s side.
As the other leaders chose their teammates, I sat in silence, noticing the seats around me. were slowly emptying.
“Kylan, your turn again,” Rochwall called.
Kylan’s eyes scanned the room again before they landed on Dylan.
He hadn’t been picked yet, and he also hadn’t been named team leader which made an
awful lot of sense to me.
Dylan was our future Alpha, smart, an incredible strategist, and strong–but no one liked working with him. He was an annoying know–it–all. Even Nate wasn’t fond of him, and

Nate liked everyone.
“I guess I need someone with brains,” Kylan spoke calmly. “Dylan.”
Many frowned, not expecting Kylan to pick him. Dylan stood up with an unreadable expression and gave Kylan a weak handshake. Those two definitely didn’t like each other.
Now I was starting to feel self–conscious. Out of the four remaining people, I was the only new recruit left. All the others had been picked before me.
They seemed like strong warriors, skilled and powerful–while I was nothing more than a quiet healer. I had already accepted that I’d end up as a leftover on the last team, and honestly, I didn’t mind. Those three girls seemed kind enough.
At least I wouldn’t be stuck on a team with Kylan and Dylan. Between the two of them, I
couldn’t begin to guess who hated me more.
I observed closely as the two exchanged a few words. I couldn’t hear what was said, but somehow their eyes snapped toward me. All three of them, Nate included.
I blinked in surprise.
No, please…
“Kylan, your turn,” Rochwall said again.
Kylan’s gaze settled on me, his unfriendly gaze piercing through mine.
“Four–eyes,” a sigh escaped from his lips.
My stomach dropped.
Why me?
My legs were trembling as I stood up from my seat and walked toward them. Dylan’s expressions was blank, Kylan’s hard, only adding to my confusion about why I was even
there.
“Violet,” Nate smiled with his eyes, giving me a friendlier welcome than the other two.
Why even pick me if it was going to be like this?

The others continued choosing their teams, and I stood back innocently until a hand was wrapped around my wrist. Shocked, I looked at Kylan, who moved in closer.
“You’re here because of your brother,” he whispered, his breath hot against my ear. “Don’t hold back my team, Four–eyes.”
Then he released me without another word, leaving me standing there, speechless.
