Chapter 7

He didn't seem bothered at all. He just stared into my eyes with his usual poker face. He turned off the shower, giving the four corners a complete silence.

"Are you sure you're not in a relationship with Nazarus?" he asked with his face looking stiff, staring just only into my eyes. 

"The fuck?!" I checked my body, making sure the sensitive parts were all covered. "I'm pretty sure, Fenris. What the--- I'm taking a shower! Can we talk later?"

He rolled his eyes. "Is he for real just a friend of yours or are you guys flirting? Do you like him?" 

"What? No. I don't like him." My brows crossed. "We're not even flirting." 

My heart was thumping so loud as I imagined how I look in front of him. I looked so awkward with my arms and hand covering myself while my knees were trembling.

I puffed a breath. "Besides, I know he doesn't like me. He's not interested in me. He's a heartthrob, Fenris; famous and rich. I'm far from his ideal girl, that's for sure."

"Are you fucking sure with that?!"

My heart thumped. I was taken aback, being speechless for a few seconds while his scream was embroidered on my chest like a tattoo. Why does he seem so frustrated?

"Why are you shouting?" I gathered the stones on my chest, stopping myself from exclaiming back. "I know you get easily irritated but can you not shout?" 

His cross brows slowly became relaxed as his adam's apple moved while he looked away from me. I looked down at my body, still covered with my arm and hand while I was sinking myself into the corner wall.

I looked back at him when he still didn't utter a word. He just stood in front of me, staring at the wall until he let out a deep breath.

"I'm sorry I raised my voice." He met my eyes again. "I didn't mean to. I just... don't like your guy friend."

A solid stone escaped from my chest after hearing his apologetic voice. His personality might look giant and scary but he wasn't afraid to say sorry when he knew he was wrong. My heart would often soften because of that.

"Why? You don't even know him. Can you at least give yourself time to know him?" 

He took seconds of silence before gasping. "I know him, Kira. Nazarus Akeldama, a vampire."

"What?" I almost dropped my arm and hand that were keeping my sensitive parts covered. "Vampires are real too?!"

"I told you, there's more to your life that you will be uncovering."

"Is that why you hate him? Because vampires and werewolves are enemies?"

"We're not basically enemies, Kira. We just avoid each other. A rule has been made for the peace of both of our clans. We simply don't mind each other's businesses to avoid unfortunate arguments that could lead to a fight."

I was stunned. I just nodded, having no idea what to conclude.

"That's why I don't want you hanging around with him.  You're a werewolf now. He can't bite you nor turn you into a vampire. That's one of the conflicts we should avoid."

"I don't think he's gonna turn me into one. Maybe he would kill me or sip my blood for his dinner but I don't think he's gonna do that as well. He seems harmless."

"Don't get too easily fooled by someone's appearance or personality, Kira. Did he ever tell you that he likes you?"

My brows crossed. "Sometimes he's joking about that, but it's nothing serious."

His gaze went deeper and sharper. "Do you like him though?"

"As a friend, yes. But in a romantic way?" I laughed sarcastically. "It's impossible to reach him so I managed to avoid falling for him. Can you get out now?" I asked as I remembered I'm still naked. "Let me finish my shower time alone."

He looked down at my boobs covered with my arms. The side of his lips rose as his eyes looked down to my thighs with my femininity still covered with my hand.

"Stop staring at my naked body, please. And can you please knock next time? I know this is your mansion but I also need privacy."

"Okay, sorry." He raised his hands in surrender. "But you're my mate and I'm gonna see you naked one way or another." He laughed before getting out of the bathroom, leaving me with heated cheeks that felt like burning woods. 

Why did I feel a tingling sensation down my--- what the fuck?

I shrugged, maybe it was just because of the coldness.

Fenris started changing my routine when he added the training to my spare time. It was seriously exhausting. 

A banging door woke me up from my sweet, blissful sleep. I covered my ears. I slept late last night and my eyes and body were still feeling heavy. 

"Kira!" 

I jumped out of the bed when I heard Fenris' commanding voice as the door opened. I puffed a breath with my thundering chest, just shocked by his exclaim. 

I looked at my messy bed. "Can we do the training later?" My pillow was magnetising me to come back sleeping.

"Hell no! You need to get used to waking up early and being attentive. Go fix yourself! I'll be waiting in the garden."

My shoulders dropped as he get out of my room before closing the door again. I looked back at my bed, I was about to drop my body when the door opened again, revealing the topless Fenris.

"Don't you dare touch your bed again or you'll be running for one hour up and down the mansion's stare again!" 

My palms cuffed my face as I remembered, one time, I was late in the training, he made me run on the stares for thirty minutes and hell I almost died, catching my breath while my sweat was dripping all over me. It was a tiring moment that I never wanted to experience again.

"That is so cruel of you!" I pouted.

"I just want you to be good at this. Now go fix yourself, Kira! Training at ten AM in the garden; Don't be late or else you know the drill." he commanded before finally leaving the room.

I ran towards the door and locked it. My heart was tired of thumping loud every time he was gonna show up and I would be shocked like I saw some kind of monster.

I glanced at the wall clock; it was nine-forty. He gave me a short amount of time to prepare! So cruel. I ran towards the closet and grabbed a pair of sports bras and leggings. I tied my hair up and put on a black headband just to brush away my curtain bangs.

I remembered Fenris, saying one time that I look good with my hair tied up. I smiled before taking a deep breath and did some stretchings in front of the whole-body mirror.

I ran like air down the stairs; I stopped in the middle when I bumped into a man, almost making him fall down the stairs but his reflex was fast.

My brows crossed when I met his silver eyes. "Who are you?"

"So, you are Kira." He smirked.
