Meadow’s p.o.v. It has been four weeks since I took my exam and I still believe that Elder Chelsea chose those three Assholes as my opponents with a reason. The reason being that it gave me a legitimate reason to kick their asses and to show everyone that they shouldn’t mess with me. I still run to Uncle Major’s private territory once a day and for the past three days I have seen Arion from a distance. His Lycan is huge, but then again most Lycans are bigger than an Alpha Wolf and Rebel loves his dark gray fur. We both enjoyed the past three days, just looking at the Lycan that is the only family we have left. The first time Arion showed up, Rebel had lifted her head to look at him. Yesterday and today she didn’t even lift her head, we had smelled his scent and we had just watched him as he was pacing the forest floor. “It is time, Rebel.” I say and after one more look at Arion, Rebel starts to run back to the Elder Residence. Today we will find out if any of us get to join a Renegade Squad and a few of the males are even hoping to become a Squad Captain. Only if you are an exceptional Warrior, are you considered for that promotion and most have been in a Squad for years before they promote to Captain. I don’t want to become a Captain, at least not yet. I am still busy with my Tech studies and I want to concentrate on that before I consider any kind of promotion. The auditorium is slowly filling up and I am glad I choose a seat at the back, near an exit. Not only are the students that joined the Renegades in the past three months present, but every Squad Captain is also here with some of their members. So far there hasn’t been a female Squad Captain and that mostly has to do with the fact that most females don’t want the responsibility. Elder Chelsea walks onto the stage and the entire room goes quiet, everyone wants to hear if there is anyone they thinks is qualified enough to become a Squad Captain. “Welcome, today we will divide our new students to a Squad. I know there are Squad Captains that have made requests for new members to their Squad and in some cases we will grant those requests, but there are a few that we must decline. The reason for declining those request has to do with the individual in question, they have shown us that they are not ready to become team players and in our opinion they will be a bad influence on the Squads.” Elder Chelsea says before she calls the names of the students that are granted a place in a Squad. Next she calls out the names of those students that aren’t ready according to the Elders and to my surprise the three males that give me a hard time are among them. “One Squad Captain had a pretty unusual request and after careful consideration, the Elders have decided to grant his request. Captain Miles, you want to have an all-female team within your Squad and you have requested a new student to lead that team. Your reasoning behind forming this team is very solid and we agree that in some cases it will be best if an all-female team is send on an assignment. Team-leader for that team will be Meadow.” Elder Chelsea says and every head in the auditorium turns in my direction. “Welcome to my Squad, Meadow.” The male in front of me says and for a moment I am too stunned to react. “It will interfere as little with your studies as possible, your teachers will be informed if you are going to miss lessons or tests.” I look at him to see if I can sense any deception in him, but I can’t find it. “Don’t worry, Captain Miles is being sincere and I will keep an eye on things.” Elder Chelsea says in my head and I sigh in relief, knowing that someone is watching my back. “Thank you, Captain Miles. I hope I can live up to your expectations.” I say as I shake his hand and I know I will be moving closer to Uncle Major’s territory. I get introduced to the members of my team and I smile when I realize that I already know most of them, the ones I haven’t met before seem to be nice enough. I think I just need to figure out what Captain Miles wants with this team and then I can start building a good relationship with my team. The auditorium empties with a lot of noise and someone bumps into me, pretty hard. “Watch where you are going, Bitch” I hear someone whisper next to my ear, but before I can see who it is Captain Miles has him facing the floor. “I suggest you apologize for bumping into her. Elder Chelsea is right, you are no team player and I can make your life pretty miserable here.” He growls at one of the males that likes to tease me. Our entire Squad has surrounded us and no one can see what is going on. “If one of us catches you anywhere near Meadow, you will regret applying for a position here.” Captain Miles says, as he lifts the guy off the floor and turns him to face me. He gets released the moment he apologizes to me and I really hope that I have seen the last of him. My team stays close to me, as we walk to my room to get my belongings and a few of the other students give me some death glares. “They are jealous of you. You excel at almost everything you do and if one of them did half the work you do, they would be able to get far.” Rebel says. I know that most students only put in the required amount of time for their studies, their off time is mostly used to do as little as possible and that is where they go wrong. If you want to achieve something in life, you have to work for it. I have been training for this since I was a young Pup and I am grateful for my friends that helped me get where I am today. Once we get to our Squad house I go in search of Captain Miles, I want to have details on this team and I wonder how he came up with forming an all-female team within his Squad. “Have a seat, Meadow. I will explain what the meaning is of your team, I will let you determine who will fill which position and what your training schedule will look like. If you have any questions, just ask them.” Captain Miles says. For the next hour I listen to his explanation and the more he tells me the better I understand his need for this team. I will make Captain Miles and the Elders proud of us and maybe other Squads can implement a team like this into their Squad.
