Yarin's POV:
Lily should be twenty years old this year, and her older brother was two years her senior, making him twenty-two.
The Balotte Family was just a small local clan and didn't have connections in the military. For Gapes to hold the rank of a second lieutenant at his age, he must be exceptionally talented.
He inevitably reminded me of Lily. Lily could have been an outstanding female warrior, but the rejection from her family left her with no place among the Lycans. She had to seek her path among outsiders.
When we returned to our room, Autumn was still waiting for us. When she learned that we had met Gapes, she seemed somewhat surprised. "Fate is truly strange."
Eden didn't particularly like this class. Strong and imposing men made him very nervous, and I suspected it was because of the abuse he suffered as a child.
