Chapter 368-A Great Offer
Helanie:
After a few minutes, the class was over, and the brothers had gathered in a corner.
"Hey, Helanie," I heard Rudy call out to me, jogging toward me in his tracksuit. Their training session started after ours finished. We were preparing to head back to the academy when Rudy spotted me.
I slowed down to fall behind the crowd and have a word with him. All the while, I was aware of the eyes on me—the brothers, standing together and talking, had turned their attention toward us when they heard Rudy yell.
"Hi," I replied meekly, feeling awkward after everything that happened today.
"Don’t be too sad. Not everyone can do everything. Besides, you know yourself—once you get into something, you come out victorious," Rudy stopped near me, smiling and speaking in an encouraging tone. I realized he was referring to the earlier incident.
"Yeah, but combat is the one thing everyone has told me I can’t do," I muttered. Even though I had learned a lot with Norman, and he had done a great job waking my wolf, it was still difficult for me to ace every exercise—especially when they were outside the syllabus.
"You know what? How about I train you?" Rudy’s sudden offer brought a small, broken smile to my lips. "Don’t worry, I’ll get my fee. You’ll have to join me for dinner every night and listen to me ramble about nonsense."
He spoke so charmingly that I felt like his training might actually help me.
