About what seemed like an hour later, Deidra walked over and bowed politely.
"My lady," she said with a smile, "The Alpha asked me to remind you about your training. He wants you to change and meet him at the training grounds."
First, I was surprised that the time for the training had reached, but the next thing I felt was a little ripple of nerves that flowed through me like currents.
Releasing a deep sigh, I took Xamira's hand. "It's time to go inside," I announced.
She nodded and got off the bench. We walked towards the house with Deidra following behind us.
"Do you feel sleepy?" I asked the little girl, my eyes fixed straight on our path.
"No, my lady," she answered softly.
As soon as we got to the second floor, I gave her hand a gentle squeeze and smiled at her. "Go back to your room with Deidra, alright? I will see you later."
She nodded, though I could see the disappointment in her eyes.
