"Alright," I stood, showing Roe and Ethan to the door, "our three hours are up, and it is time to watch the evaluations." 

"Let's go. I want to scoop out our future Beta." Max was practically skipping to the door as Darell followed him. He hates Andrew more than I do, but he is Submissive to the pack order and knows that he has the weaker wolf. 

We arrived, and the 14 wolves that were left spread out into different fighting circles. The fourth lead brought his fighters to me. We had plenty of fourth warriors to fight them all, but I wanted them to each have an observer. So we can only run half to have a higher lead watching each fight. We had the fourth lead on the one we thought fit the beta position. 

We agreed that we didn't want to make it obvious. We ran both groups, and about five of the newcomers lost, one of which was that cocky 18-year-old who thought he was going to beat my first lead. The wolf we were eyeing for Beta took his fourth fighter down without issue. 

"good job, all of you. Those five who lost are now part of the fourth group. The nine left, get another 3 hours." I called all my evaluators to my office. 

"how are we feeling about the nine left?" We determined that another four were going to be level three, three were going to be level two, and one was going to be level one. These were just our guesses based on watching them. They still need to fight for their positions. 

With the three-hour breaks and starting at noon, we made it through all the levels of the warrior. The only issue was that the wolf McCoy beat all of them. We preemptively gave him the first lead to fight, so now, at midnight, we were looking at a new first lead. 

"Baxter, this is the guy," Max muttered after his fight. "he is barely winded from that fight." 

"don't get too excited. He has to make official challenges now, and he may not want to," I muttered. The first lead pulled himself out of the dirt, looking at the new wolf in awe. I was sure that he was a strong ass wolf. He was well-trained and a natural fighter. I waved my hand to call him over. 

"Are you asking him now?" Max looked at me. 

"I am inviting him to my office." The wolf walked over to me, bowing his head respectfully. "I would like to invite you to my office for a private chat." 

"Yes, Alpha." he may have agreed. Still, I felt he wanted to avoid coming even though being invited to the Alpha's office is typically an honor. I'll figure this guy out soon.
