CHAPTER XXXIII

It had been two weeks since our weekend getaway to my family's cabin and the training routine was back on track.

We had been training hard for two weeks in preparation for the opening game of the season at home against a team from the West Coast, the Brierfield Academy team, our main rivals in the same way that the girls' team was to the Cyclons.

The final class bell rang, finally ending the Friday school day and opening the way for a weekend that was looking good. I had 100% confidence in my Lycans and I knew that even if the Brierfield Gladiators put up a fight we would show our teeth, just as the Cyclons would.

"Earth calling Matt,  Are you there my love?"

"Sorry honey, I was thinking about the game tomorrow," I replied as I put my arm around her shoulders.

"Are they really good or what?" she asked, "I didn't play against them last year because of a cold but I did watch the men's game."
