" You know who number two is on the leaderboard right ? " he asks . I hadn't put the two together , but the lightbulb goes off . " Her brother . " That's him . " " I want to push her . I think there's more to her than she gives herself credit for . " " What if she doesn't want to assist you in the sex class ? " he asks . " That's her prerogative , but she's not some young , nubile she - wolf . I'm sure she's had sexual partners before .

If she's got reservations , I'll try to work through them . If I can't , I'm sure I can get someone else to stand . in . Sylvie maybe , " I say , smirking because I expect the growl that I get . As we're talking , I see Laura jogging up . " Hey Laura . How was your week off ? " I ask her . " Good , for me . Not good for this position . I found my mate . I told him I couldn't back out from this semester but it's my last one , Alphas . " " Congratulations ! " James and I say to her .

" Thanks , " she says , blushing . " Uh , is there any possibility of pairing me Chapter with a mated Alpha this semester ? " she asks . " Actually , I have you scheduled as the float . How do you feel about that ? " James asks her . " That would be perfect . And I'll have to skip the sex class , I'm sorry . " " Don't be . I'll see if Sylvie or Mia know anyone who wants to fill in , " he says . James turns back to me . " I'm putting you as lead instructor for The Beast , " he says to me .

" What are you trying to do , kill me ? " I ask . " You're an Alpha . Suck it up , buttercup . I shake my head as we hear the train whistle in the distance . " There's our ride , " I say . " We're missing two , " he says frowning . " Who ? " I ask . Chapter 2 " A new girl , Emma , and Benjamin , " he says . " Ben took his mate on vacation before coming to teach , so he's catching us at the third stop , " I tell him just as we hear tires screeching in the distance .

We all watch as a car comes racing into the parking lot and spins out , barely missing a light post . A young , perky girl gets out of the driver's scat and huffs . " I thought I was going to miss the train . " 10 " You nearly did , " James says , eyeing her . Neither of us have any tolerance for tardiness . As the train pulls into the station , I grab my bags and get ready to board . James and I let the women enter before us and then we climb onto the passenger train .

When we get on board , I can see that Christina has already started setting up the train . Her brother's pack is closest to the first stop , and she usually has it mostly set up by the time the train gets to us . " Christina ! " James says by way of greeting as we get on the train . He and I also appreciate assistants who are conscientious , thoughtful , and mindful of what's going on around them . Christina has always been like that .

" Hello Alphas , hello Laura , " she says , turning to Emma . " We haven't met , I'm Christina , " she introduces herself . Chapter 2 " Hi , I'm Emma , " she says , and we go around and introduce ourselves to the others on the train , only three at the first stop . Our four make seven , so we should have four more joining us at the third stop , which we won't get to until tomorrow . " Dinner isn't for a couple of hours , but did either of you want a drink ? " Christina asks .

" The usual for me , Christina , " James says . " And you , Alpha Sebastian ? Whiskey neat ? " she asks me . " Yes , thank you , Christina . " " I'd like a drink , " Emma says . " You're an assistant , you get your own drinks , that's how it works , " Christina says . " Get settled and Laura and I will show you around . You start working the minute you get on the train . " " Geez , okay , " Emma says . James and I look at each other .

" I'll get a couple other names from Sylvie , just in case , " he says softly . I nod , as Christina brings our drinks over . " You have plenty of time to get settled in before dinner Alphas , " she 1334 D Chapter 2 says . " What's for dinner and please , please , tell me it's your chicken fricassee , " James says . " You're in luck , Alpha . It is , and apparently , Haley can make fresh pasta , so we're having fresh gnocchi to go with it .

" " Oh , I think I might be in love , " James says , putting his hand to his heart . " You better not say that in front of Luna Sylvie , Alpha . She'll have your balls , " Christina says , making me bark out a laugh . " I feel like I'm out of the loop , " Alpha Will says , coming over . " When you've been around as long as some of us have , it's like creating your own little pack . Christina is a veteran , so she's accustomed to me and the others who have been around a while .

" Well , I'm looking forward to being part of the team this semester , " Will says . I take a sip of my drink , watching Christina over the rim . I'm looking forward to this semester as well . 88,79 % 1334 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Christina I already don't like Emma . Who takes a job and then expects the waitstaff to wait on the waitress ? " I've got her , " Laura says , probably recognizing that I'm not thrilled with our newbie . Haley I already like . She's ready and willing to work .

Emma … not so much . " There's something different about you , " I say , realizing that under normal circumstances , Laura would be irritated with Emma as well , but she seems distracted . She looks around and then she turns back , she pulls her shirt away from her neck . My eyes widen as I see her very fresh mate mark . " You found him ? " I ask . " I did . I already told Alpha James and Alpha Sebastian that this is my last ride on the Train . " " Oh , Laura , I'm so happy for you .

But I'm going to miss you . " Chapter 3 " Hey , I heard the Alphas talking while we were waiting for the Train . Alpha Seb wants you as his assistant this semester . " " What ? Why ? " I ask . There's something safe about being paired with a mated Alpha . We're not allowed to fall in love with the Alphas , any of them . I'm too old for the up - and - coming Alphas , but I've always felt drawn to Alpha Sebastian . There's something very sexy about the older Alpha .

" He said he feels like you're not meeting your potential or something like that . And Christina , he's teaching the sex class . I just wanted to , give you a head's up . " " Thanks , Laura , " I say as she goes to help get Emma settled . Why does Alpha Sebastian suddenly want me as his assistant ? Am I some sort of pet project for him ? I hate the idea that he thinks that I might be lacking in some way , and he feels the need to push me to grow .

It's one thing for my brother to feel like I need to take the classes , but it's quite another for one of the instructors , particularly Alpha Sebastian , to feel like I need to take them . As I make some snacks for the Alphas , I think about that . Do I want to take the classes ? If I'm being really honest with myself , the answer is yes , I do . I'm an Alpha . I feel the deep - seated need to compete and to win . Why haven't I taken the classes ? That answer is buried much deeper .

I don't want to disappoint my brother . He's so perfect , such a good Alpha . I would hate to embarrass him by being mediocre . 1334 I finish making the snacks and I bring them out to Alpha James and Alpha Sebastian . " Thank you , Christina , " they say as I hand them their drinks . " You're very welcome , Alphas , " I say . " Christina , Alpha Sebastian has requested you as his assistant this semester , " Alpha James says .

I look over at Alpha Sebastian and I see him watching me closely as he sips his drink . " I hope I can live up to your expectations , Alpha , " I say . " I have no doubt that you can and will , Christina , " he says . There's something in his tone , something that hints at expectations beyond the classes . I see Alpha James glance at him , but he doesn't say anything . " Alpha Sebastian is teaching the sex class this semester , Christina , " Alpha James says .

" I'd like for you and I to talk about it first if you have concerns , Christina . I understand that this would be your first time , and if you have any issues with being my assistant in that class , let's talk about them . I'm willing to do whatever is necessary to help make it more comfortable for you , if you're uneasy about being the subject of that Chapter 1 class . So don't answer now . Think about it , and if you have concerns , let me know and we can talk . " " Yes , Alpha , " I say .

" If you agree to be my assistant , Christina , I'm just Sebastian , or Seb , when we're talking . " " Do I have to agree to be in the sex class right now to agree to be your assistant ? " I ask him , already recognizing that I can't back down from the challenge that I know he's going to give me . It's sparking my interest and the Alpha in me , even making my wolf stir excitedly . " No , you can agree to be my assistant and then think about the sex class .

But again , I want you to come talk to me if you have concerns . We'll talk anyway , before the class . I want you to have a very clear understanding of what to expect , especially since you've never been in the class before . " " I think it would be good for me to fully understand the expectations that you have for me in that class , Alpha . " He raises an eyebrow . " I thought you were agreeing to be my assistant , Christina . " " I am … Sebastian .

" His smile is quick and wide and oh so sexy . " I think we're going to have a great semester , Christina . But let's meet after dinner and you and I can talk . " " Very well . " I say . looking at Alpha James . " So , that's a yes ? " he asks . " Yes , " I say , looking back at Alpha Sebastian who winks at me . Damn , I need to get my hormones in check . We're all werewolves with enhanced senses , but he's an Alpha which means his are better than most .

It was one thing to admire him from afar , but quite another to be getting turned on when I'm working beside him day after day . I turn and begin walking away , hearing Alpha William asking who is going to be assigned to him . " You're going to be assigned Haley . She's new , " Alpha James says . " Oh , I met her . We'll get along fine , " he says . I finish making dinner with Haley , Emma finally getting to the kitchen right as the food was ready to be served .

I hand her two plates and Haley takes a third as Laura finishes making another round of drinks and we carry the drinks and food back out to the dining car . When we get there , Alpha James and Alpha Sebastian make room for us , Alpha Will following their example . " Oh . Christina , you're a woman after my own heart . " Alpha James says . I just shake my head . " I'm pretty sure that spot is taken . Alpha , but thank you . " I say . " And Haley , you made this gnocchi ? " he asks .

" Yes , Alpha . I hope you like it , " she says , blushing sweetly . " Sweetheart , if you weren't young enough to be my daughter . I'd have to take you as a mate . As long as you cooked for me every night . " he says , making her giggle . Alpha James is very much tied to Luna Sylvie , at least while they ride the Train . What they do when they have their week off , I don't know . But most of their time is spent at the school and in that time , they are practically inseparable .

In all my semesters riding the Train , Alpha James hasn't had an assistant other than Luna Sylvie . " So , Haley , Emma , tell us a little bit about yourselves , what brought you to the Train ? " " I wanted to meet some Alphas , " Emma says . I'm shocked that this is her response and that she doesn't realize that these Alphas will only be short - term , if at all . Usually , she - wolves who only want to meet Alphas don't get accepted on the Train .

12.01 % Chapter 3 " And I want to take some classes , " she says when we all stare at her . " What kind of classes ? " Alpha Sebastian asks her before I can . He smiles at me to let me know he saw that he beat me to it . " Oh , uh , well , I haven't seen the course roster yet , " she says . I look at Laura and I can tell that she's thinking what I'm thinking . This one won't last long . In the two years I've been on the Train , I've only seen it happen twice .

The Alphas are usually pretty good about screening out the ones who are solely here because they're hoping to become Lunas . This isn't the time for a young Alpha to get trapped by someone because he got her pregnant . None of them , at least not when they get on the Train , are old enough to sense their mates . " What about you , Haley ? " Alpha James asks , redirecting all of us from our thoughts about Emma . " Well , I'm trying to earn money to put myself through medical school .

I want to become my pack's doctor . " What if you meet your mate and move to a new pack ? " Alpha Will asks her . " Well , every pack needs a good doctor , right ? " she asks . " Very true , " Alpha Sebastian says . Chapter 3 " Smart and you're a good cook ? I might have to rethink my age . requirement , " Alpha James says , winking at Haley . " I'll be sure to let Luna Sylvie know that you've made some changes to your requirements Alpha .

It'll be the first time I've seen an Alpha neutered , " Laura says , popping a bite of food into her mouth as she smiles at Alpha James . " A good point , young lady. I like my balls right where they are , " he says . Alpha James is harmless . He's sweet and flirtatious , but he's very serious when it comes to training these Alphas . I've watched him push young Alphas to the brink of exhaustion and somehow , he draws even more out of them .

They all leave here stronger because they learn that they can endure more than they thought they could when they arrived . Alpha Sebastian is the same , but his methods are different . Where Alpha James is more of a drill sergeant , Alpha Sebastian is the kind of man who expresses his disappointment in you . Somehow , he establishes early that you don't want him to be disappointed in you , so each of the Alphas in his class strives to achieve perfection so they don' t disappoint him .

" What about you , Alpha Christina ? What's a young Alpha female doing riding the Train ? " Alpha Will asks me . The new Alphas are always curious about me . Alpha females are in high demand , even as chosen mates . " I never found my mate and I didn't want to be a burden on my brother . Chapter 3 I searched for my mate for several years , even considered working this . Train back then to see if I'd find him . But , over time , I began to assume my mate was killed in battle .

Now , I'm twenty - eight . If he is out there , he'd have taken a chosen mate by now . For me , this helps me to make my own way , and I like it . I'm independent and I don't feel like at burden to my brother or the pack . " " I doubt he feels that you're a burden , Christina , " Alpha Sebastian says . " No , he doesn't , " I say , smiling and looking down . " My brother is a good Alpha , one of the best . " " Number two on the leader board , Will , " Alpha James tells him .

Alpha Will whistles low . " So , he really is one of the best ? " " He is , " I say proudly . It's true , my brother is an amazing man , brother , mate , father , and Alpha . He's the total package . When I look up , I see Alpha Sebastian watching me closely . His gaze is intense , and I get the feeling that he's very much like my brother .

I expect when we meet later , it will feel like there is no one else in the world but me , that no one and nothing is more important to him than me at that moment . And that is very dangerous for me and my heart .
