Mornings with the wolves started early. They definitely weren’t on New Orleans time. But a shower provided a nice wakeup, and I was just finishing the last button when there was a fresh knock at the door. A moment later, Elisabeth slipped in and closed the door. “Good morning.”

“I’m here as the head enforcer,” she said. “I’m not going to put you on a standard rotation, but is it your intention to shadow Michaela’s classes?”

“I’d like to be handy, but I don’t really know what to expect.”

“In other words, if Deirdre is doing it, you’re in the neighborhood?”

“Elisabeth, put me where you need me to ensure adequate protection of the alpha family and Deirdre. I need to be able to keep an eye on my day job, so to speak, but I’ll find time for that. I don’t have anything pressing.”

“So, however I need you?”

“With the understanding I have no military or enforcer training. But yes.”

We talked about it for a few minutes then, together, headed for breakfast.

It became evident very quickly that Michaela was an amazing science teacher. Elisabeth didn’t assign me any sort of guard duty. She assigned me as one of Michaela’s assistants. And so, immediately after breakfast, Michaela gathered all her assistants together, and I was surprised by whom that meant.

I was expecting Deirdre and Zoe. I wasn’t surprised to see the parents who had come. But Lara reported in as an assistant as did Scarlett, Angel, Iris, and Lindsey. I looked around but didn’t see Monique. I would discover later that the enforcer students were students for this trip and would be going through the same programs as the other students.

“Most of you know this,” Michaela said. “But this class doesn’t mirror anything you might find in any other high school program. We’re teaching basic fieldwork, but some of the kids know the basics and some have barely had any science at all. We don’t split them up, however. Instead, we treat them like a future employer might. New hires work on the basic skills; the experienced employees oversee them and employ advanced techniques.”

“What about us?” Iris asked.

“You two have already officially graduated from my program, and we all know you’re here for the other activities.” They both grinned. “You’re assistants, just like the other adults.”

“Really?” said Lindsey. “So the kids have to obey us?”

“Yes, but don’t let it go to your head,” she replied. “Over the next two weeks, we’re going to address geology, botany, zoology, and water quality. We’ll spend two mornings on each, starting with geology. This is a simple assignment.”

She talked about what we’d be doing. I understood about a third of what she said, but it was clear others understood most or all. When she finished, she said, “All right. We’re going to line up based on how much you think you understood.”

That earned some chuckles.

“Here to my left,” she said. “If you understood all or nearly all. At the other end, to my right, if you didn’t understand any.
