The Alpha Train (Christina and Sebastian) novel Chapter 418

Chapter 9

I turn as Uncle Dane hops off the train. “Hurricane Sebastiana,” he grins, rubbing his hands together.

“Hi. Uncle Dane.” I say, forcing a smile. He tilts his head to the side, watching me, but I look away before he can look too deeply.

The other instructors get off the train, and I realize I know all of them. Alpha Benjamin, Alpha Ezra, Alpha Jackson, and finally Ryan.

Ryan, like Christian, looks and acts a lot like my father. The minute he spots me,

on me.

“Hey, Ry,” I say, forcing a smile again as he walks up to me.

He doesn’t speak, he just pulls me into a hug. “It’s going to be okay, little sister. I promise.”

When he releases me, he says hello to everyone. Then Dane calls for all of us to get on the train.

I follow the others onto the train, waving once more at my family.

I set my luggage in the area set aside to hold it until we have our room assignment, then I make my way to the travel car with the others. When I walk in, Shane’s there, looking like he was waiting for me.

He smiles and this time, my smile isn’t so forced.

“Tough crowd,” he says, understanding without me having to say a word.

“The toughest,” I agree.

He opens his arms, and I don’t hesitate. I don’t care what anyone else thinks. They already know that my family is nearly half of the instructors at the Academy. What’s one more person that I know and care about here at the Academy.

The moment his arms wrap around me, I feel a sense of peace that I didn’t get with my family. He doesn’t say a word; he just holds me while I finally take the deep breath I’ve been struggling to take for days.

When Uncle Dane calls for everyone’s attention, I pull back and look at Shane.

He winks at me and for the first time since the weight of what I need to achieve at the Academy landed on my shoulders, I feel like I can do this.
