Loren POV
Sweat dripped from my forehead and onto the gymnasium floor as I blocked a bolt of lightning with a shield spell. However, Jamaia’s lightning was so strong that I was still pushed back several meters where I landed on my back.
I groaned, picked my tired body up, and signaled to Jam for a time out.
We walked back to the bleachers and plopped down next to Riley, who was working on his laptop. Jam immediately put her arms around him, which made me think that perhaps something had brewed between my two friends during my absence. Honestly, I would be happy for them if they had started dating seriously; Riley deserved someone as amazing as Jam.
Loud crashes and thuds echoed from the other side of the gym where Alex and a few other werewolves were training.
As punishment for leaving without confirming with Zane first, Alex had been assigned to train the new wolves in the pack in preparation for the battle with Amedis.
