CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN

STERLING

I’m doing my best to run my squad through their training, but truth be told, it’s not easy.

I’m incredibly distracted today.

This isn’t normal for me. I could run these drills in my sleep. Heck, during tougher periods of my life, I basically did. It’s not a specialized class, and it’s not like I’m working with a tough crowd. These guys aren’t Betas sent by their Alpha to learn a skill they don’t see the point in, they’re just my buddies who like my training style and hang out on the beach to keep themselves sharp.

Still, I’m having an incredibly hard time leading the workout today. And it’s not because I’m a little bit sleepy after staying up all night. I’ve done much harder stuff on much less sleep.

The difference is Ayala.

I can’t keep my eyes off her. She looks so cute in her workout gear, and the fierceness in her eyes as she learns these battle moves is like nothing I’ve ever seen before.
