“There's more where that came from.” I grin.

“I can’t wait to see what you've got. You're going to be amazing, Savvy. I can see it now.”

Chapter 6

Savannah

Two months later

Trent takes a swing at me, but I duck, jabbing him in the stomach. He lets out a grunt, and I grin, jumping back with a manic smile on my face.

“Fuck, Savvy,” he grunts. “How the hell can you hit so hard?”

“Pent up anger, baby.” I laugh, hopping from foot to foot, ready for him to come at me again. There’s sweat dripping down my forehead, and my muscles are screaming at me to stop, but when I’m in the zone like this, I feel like I can go for days.

The best way I can describe the feeling is like being high on drugs. Or maybe having ten pots of coffee.

I’m harmless, really. Unless you're Trent.

I’ve been here at Salvation for two months now, spending every free moment getting my body into the shape it needs to be.

I’m eating amazingly, putting on weight, and gaining muscle. Trent is my instructor. He’s a Beta who’s taught me how to defend myself and fight back. I think he underestimated me, and I love proving him wrong.

“Alright, that’s enough,” Trent groans, hands pressing against his stomach.

“Yeah.” I nod, running my hand over my damp ponytail. “We can pick it up tomorrow.”

It’s bleach blonde now, and I love it. I dyed it on the third day I was here, after mentioning to Lucy that I wanted to change my hair color. She said she was a hairstylist and could help me out. She did an amazing job with both the new color and length. It hangs just above my breasts, no longer reaching down to my ass. When I curl it, it’s up to my shoulders.

When she was done, I took one look at myself in a mirror and I felt like a completely different person. In a good way. Like this was the first step in a new start for myself; I no longer looked like the Omega Corbin kept under lock and key.

I’m new and improved.

And deadly.

Trent may have been the one to train me to fight, but Duchess taught me how to kill. I’ve sat in on a few of her missions, and she was kind enough to volunteer her victims as test dummies for different techniques on how to eliminate them.
