Chapter 9
I had been offered a place on Elite Jr as head and on Elite. I got my letters when every other novice (except Eddie) was given their assignments the day after coronation and was informed training for Elite would start in 8 weeks. Elite Jr would start in 12 weeks and I had to work out the program, uniform, code of conduct and the types of missions my Jrs would be sent out on. Tatiana had had Elite Jr set up as a way to challenge the top ranked graduates from 18-23 years of age. And to appease council in order for Liss to come up with a balanced way to give Moroi who wanted to fight a chance and 'increase dhampir numbers'. It was no surprise when I was told I'd be heading up the Jrs.
It was 2 weeks before I had my first Elite meeting and I went into labour four hours later and my three gorgeous girls were born. Like before I self-healed and we were home 3 days later. 10 days before my first Elite session I was in the gym with Dimitri and the twins sand triplets and was working on my reaction times with newfangled gadgets when I hear the door open and check the shadow to learn its Tasha and send her flying back out the door and put a shadow shield around my family. I not once in that process faltered under the machines I was training with. Unfortunately Tasha didn't seem to get the memo and I had to repeat the entire process time and again until my first Elite meeting. My first Elite meeting gave me some ideas to work with for Jr and had it sorted by the time that meeting came around.
