The air was thick with the feeling of defeat as Sandra pinned a royal for the fourth time in a row. Each time she did so with even more ease. Jason stood at the edge of the clearing watching them in silence. He could feel the tension between the two of them. Katie had told them the outcome of her meeting with the head junior hunter at school and Lina was still not speaking to Sandra after organising a fight between her and an alpha she was sure she couldn't beat.
Sandra stood up, panting from the exertion. Her thoughts were muddled, occasionally straying over to her added responsibility to the school. Every time she felt like she was going to buckle under the pressure of all of her responsibilities, she'd remember the responsibilities of one that had earned the name of the Rogue Killer. Katie had never uttered a word of defiance when she was given a task and she'd climbed through the ranks through sheer hard work.
