章 10: ACT LIKE IT I
Two weeks, two weeks since I failed the challenges again, trails. It was all the same.
As I walked behind dad, I am aware of the hostile looks I get from my fellow pack mates.
They weren't happy to see me, it's not as if it's the first time I'm leaving the house since failing, but it feels just the same.
Today was my first day of retraining. My parents and alpha Ronan had decided to keep the fact that I would be retraining quiet. Not out of embarrassment, as they kept reassuring me. But to make sure that non of the wolves had time to plan anything. They wouldn't dare try anything in mom or dad's presence, but once they left ? I was fair game. Even they knew that and ordering them to leave me be, was not the way to earn their trust.
That was especially true since I was sure Jenna would be egging my naysayers on.
Bitch.
I suddenly bumped into a hard wall, why'd dad stop moving?
"Taylor?" Dad called.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Why are you walking behind me and why do you smell scared?" He asked.
I swallowed before replying, "I just think this is safer."
Hiding behind his intimidating back, was not the way to prove I was strong, but, baby steps.
He turned around and raised an eye brow, he looked away from me and turned to look around with a glare, I still felt like I was being watched, but not as much.
"Are you seriously scared of them? They're your pack." He said.
"Dad, you know what they think of me. I don't blame them, but you know I can't fight them off."
I looked up to find him glaring at me. "Umm, Dad?"
He suddenly grabbed my arm and dragged me in front of him. "Taylor, let me make this clear, You are my daughter. Therefore their superior."
I felt him bend down behind me, "Look at them." He whispered. "How many of them, do you think can here right now and lay a finger on you?" he sounded harsh and intimidating.
"By hiding behind me, you are not only showing them that you know I can protect you, but you are also showing you need protecting. That you are scared of them. I'm glad you know I can protect you, But what I want is for you to protect yourself. Walk tall and act like they don't exist. Do not let them see or smell your fear."
I suddenly remembered the final night of the trails, almost two weeks ago. I was afraid, very afraid. My own fear lead a trail straight to me. Dad was right.
"I'm s-"
He suddenly pushed me. "Class just started honey."
'Walk' he said in my head.
'Remember what I told you, back straight, ignore them all. One step at a time and remember do not let them see or smell your fear.'
