Chapter 27 Does the Wolf Cub Think Violeta’s It’s Mom?
The rest of the top nine teams rolled in.
Violeta’s crew rightfully snagged first place, and by the time the sun peeked over, all the teams gathered,
The chief instructor stood tall on the platform, announcing Violeta’s squad as the champs. Not just that, they broke Hayden’s team record from three years back, now owning the crown for T Military Training
The four lined up all military–like on the platform, soaking in the cheers.
Violeta kept a poker face while Jezebel and Sonya were all smiles, completely shrugging off their not– so-
stellar start.
Soon, the teams split up.
Everyone returned to the tents for a night’s shut–eye, and they’d be off the hook after an afternoon meet-
1. up.
While packing up, someone accidentally bumped into Violeta’s backpack. She scowled, nudged the person away, and then sauntered off with her bag.
The person grumbled, “Gosh. What’s your problem…”
Violeta shot a glare, and the person wisely shut up.
Kaylee caught up with the grumbler and fired back, “Hey, you! You’re the one with problems. Your whole family’s a mess!”
Then, she hollered at Violeta, “Hey, Violeta, wait up!”
In the tent, Violeta unzipped her backpack and found the little wolf cub all cozied inside, already knocked
OUL
It had polished off all the canned tuna she had tossed in earlier.
“Oh wow, Violeta, you brought it back?!”
Violeta replied, “Tried to shoo it away, but it’s like Velcro. Had no choice but to bring it along.”
Kaylee tossed in her thoughts, “Maybe its mom bailed on it? That’s why it’s sticking to you, thinking you’re its owner. By tagging along with you, it won’t have to worry about finding food and water. It might’ve starved out there in the wild.”
“Are you thinking about keeping it?, It’s a wild wolf, still a pup, but who knows if it’ll keep its wild side it grows up.
Violeta kept silent momentarily, then said, “Nah, I’ll set it free in the wild when we return.”
After that, Violeta zipped up her backpack, flopped onto the bed, closed her eyes, and passed out.
When Zelena found out that Jezebel and Sonya didn’t hold Violeta back, their team even snatched first. place in the training!

slow down Violeta? How come your team still bagged first place?”
Jezebel and Sonya put on innocent faces. “Come on, Lena, even though we promised to help you, there were unexpected hitches along the way! How were we supposed to know if Violeta found some shortcut? She grabbed our shoulder badges and threatened to leave us in the mountains if we lagged!”
Zelena narrowed her eyes, a bit of fierceness showing. To her, those were just excuses.
“Why’d you obey her? If you guys made an effort to fall behind, she sure wouldn’t make it!”
Zelena’s words sent shivers down Jezebel and Sonya’s spines,
Jezebel stood up, eyes wide, “What’s wrong with you? Did you honestly want us risking our lives just for you? Zelena, you tossed us a tiny bone; not worth risking our lives for that pea–sized reward, okay!”
Sonya chimed in. “Seriously, you’re going too far. Didn’t expect you to be this unreasonable and nasty!”
At that moment, Zelena realized she had let her anger get the best of her and forgot to put on a front.
That’s not what I meant…
Tsk, let’s bounce.” Jezebel and Sonya brushed off Zelena and turned to leave.
Now that military training was a wrap, they all scored big by snagging first place. Who’d bother pleasing
Zelena?
‘Violeta’s team took the crown and smashed the record set by Hayden’s crew.
The news and announcements had made their way through the academy!
The following day, Hayden and his squad caught wind of it.
The group chat was buzzing with excitement-
Jasper: Yo! Vio shattered our old record! Unreal!
Liam: We were kinda worried you’d buckle, but Vio, you’ve got some serious talent, man!
Zoren: Vio, you’re a legend! Dinner’s on you when you get back!
Jasper: But, you know, if Zero wasn’t slowing us down back then, our record could’ve been at least twenty minutes faster.
Zoren: What do you mean? Are you blaming me? Wanna fight, huh now?
Liam: Yeah, remember who almost peed his pants because of a wild wolf! Hahaha.
Zoren: Damn you guys! I’m so done with you all; I’m out!
Seeing their banter in the group/chat, Violeta started a group voice call in the car on their way back to Toland University..
The phone rang, and all four of thein answered within a second. Surprisingly, Hayden, who hadn’t talked in the group chat, picked up first.
Violeta said “Did von mive also run into a wild wolf the mountains?”
Chapter 27 Does the Wolf Cub Think Violeta’s It’s Mom?
Hayden: “Yeah. You too?”
Zoren: “Hey, Vio, you good? Are you injured?”
Jasper: “Just hearing her voice, I know she’s fine. If something happened, we’d have gotten a heads– up.”
Liam: “The wild wolves in the mountains should’ve been taken care of before the assessment. The chances of running into them are pretty low. So, was it good luck or bad luck that you ran into one?”
Violeta stayed quiet, but there was movement in the bag on her lap. A pair of shiny black eyes could be seen through the gap in the zipper.

Three seconds later, she spoke. “Let’s discuss it when I get to school.”
All four of them sensed that something wasn’t quite right.
After the bus pulled up at Toland University, Jezebel and Sonya hustled to claim their rewards.
Violeta asked Kaylee to tag along with the girls for the reward pickup. At the same time, she headed in a different direction with her bag slung over her shoulder.
When she reached the shaded path, Hayden and the other three were already waiting for Violeta in the pavilion.
Spotting Violeta approaching, Zoren dashed over, “Vio, let me check if you’re injured,”
I’m fine. Let me show you something first. She dropped the backpack on the ground and unzipped it. The four of them leaned in for a peek.
The next moment-
“Oh my god!”
“How did you manage to bring back a little wolf cub?”
“So cool!”
Violeta sighed, I didn’t bring it back; it followed me. I couldn’t do anything about it.”
Hayden reached out and picked up the wolf cub, which squirmed and howled aggressively, even attempting to nip at Hayden.
Hayden firmly held its mouth shut, and the wolf cub couldn’t resist. It looked at Violeta with a pitiful expression, tail between its legs.
Liarn inquired, “Does it think Vio is its mother?”
Violeta was left speechless.
Zoren stroked his chin and suggested, “Maybe the wild wolf that scared the life out of me in the mountains a few years ago was its father.”
Violeta put two and two together, realizing Hayden and the team had also taken a shortcut in the back of the mountain during their military training a few years back.

However, luck was less generous to them than to Violeta. They stumbled upon a pack of wolves, setting them back by twenty minutes.
The goddess of luck, however, spared Violeta from the wolf pack ordeal.
Hayden handed the wolf cub to Violeta, and she cradled it delicately.
“What’s your plan for this little furball?”
Violeta shrugged. I’ve tried to ditch it, but it’s not taking the hint. Maybe we should release it into the
wild?”
Jasper shook her head. “But isn’t it too young to fend for itself?”
Zoren chimed in, “Yeah, probably not weaned yet, huh?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Violeta pondered. “Should we return it to its mother?”
Hayden clarified. “It’s already caught the scent of humans so–that the wolf pack won’t take it back.”
Liam smiled, “Since it’s latched onto you and you brought it back, why not keep it? There’s a a connection between you two, right?”
Violeta exclaimed, “What? You want me to raise it?”
