I meet Ryna outside of the change rooms after having a shower and getting spare clothes to wear from my locker.
I see him in the hallway talking to some of the older warriors, and he dismisses them when he sees me coming over. “Whatever has gotten into you, I like it.”
“What do you mean?” I ask him as he opens the door for me, and we walk outside.
“What you did today! Taking charge and putting Tony in his place! Revving the warriors up with your speech! I’ve never seen anything like it! You and Enyo absolutely mesmerized them!”
“Well, if I want to be the Gamma once all of this is over, then I need to act like one. I’m not a little girl anymore. So, I need to stop acting like one.”
He wraps his arm around my shoulders and ruffles my hair as we walk back to the pack house. “Just don’t grow up too fast, kid. It all goes downhill once you hit twenty,” he laughs.
“Oh yes, you’re such an old man now. I can see the grey hairs coming through!” I tease him.
