Adrian's POV "It seems you have a knack for getting injured" I said to Mika who was groaning while a laid her. "And you are very good at saving me each time Alpha" Mika replied me laughing a bit. "Why did you have to disguise as a trainee and come here when you can just come as every other normal person" I scolded her. "Wow, I'm quite disappointed after all these years of knowing me you still think I do things like a normal person Adrian" Mika said making me shake my head. "To believe you've been my best friend for years and you still put up all these silly antics to get attention" I said to her. "Hope your injury is not hurting too much" I asked her looking at the purple bruise on her feet and stomach. "This is nothing just call the physician to clean it up. I don't want it getting infected and leaving a scar" she said smiling. "Okay the physician will be here in any minute, we can have a good talk after you get some rest" I said before walking out the room. My mind went bac
Elysia's POV I watched him to the push up, the way his body moved and sweat dripping off his skin made me hot all over. My mind went back to the other night the way it all happened, if felt a tingling sensation at the thought of it.The sound of people giggling caught my attention, I turned to the corner of the room to see some maids amd female trainees staring at his body. The way they looked at him with lust disgusted me, I felt really jealous by all of these. Unable to take it anymore I walked close to him holding this shirt on my hand. "Elysia when did you get here," he said to me standing here. "I just got here a while ago" I replied him."Take this shirt and wear it, I don't want you catching a cold" I said to cover up my jealousy. He looked at me for a while before smiling. "Are you sure you brought this for the cold or for other reason. We all can see that today has been a hurt day." I coughed awkwardly for a while my face red with embarrassment. "I don't like the way
Elysia's POV I sat down in front of my mirror uninspired to do anything, all that filled my head was the nightmare. This was the first time I had gone close to the woman while she was being murdered but why was it me. I could it have been me. Maybe I was mistaken or something. I looked at the mirror and the thought my bloody face flashed before me. "What's up with your long face" Sarah said as she walked into the room. "When did you get in?" I asked surprised because I hadn't noticed when she came in. "Just few minutes ago but you've been lost in your thoughts" she said standing beside now. "I had that same dream yesterday" I explained making her look up in surprise."Are you okay?" She asked her voice filled with concern. "I'm okay it's just that this time the dream was different" I said. "What do you mean?" She asked curiosity filling her eyes. "This time I was able to see the face of the woman and it was me. I was the woman" I said to her as her eyes widen in shock. "Wha
Adrian's POV I opened my eyes to be met with such a beautiful view. Elysia's was still fast asleep, her face looked so calm and peaceful as if she was happy to be in what ever dream land she was. Her long eyelashes, her lips which I wanted to kiss so badly. I couldn't resist the urge to reach out to her face and tuck the stray hair behind her ear getting a clearer view of her face. How much I want to stay here all day and look at her face, to be in her embrace and to inhale her scent. She has a nice scent of strawberries and pine, it was calming to the nerves. For the love of the goddess what was the this woman doing to me.She was messing with my head but in a good way. She steered in her sleep pulling me out of my thoughts. "No, you can't kill her, no don't touch. Pls I beg of you" she muttered in her sleep sweating profusely. "Calm down Elysia, it's just a nightmare." I said to her trying to snap her out of her dream. "Nooooooo....." She screamed out jumping off the bed. Her
Elysia's POV "Walk me to the balcony for some fresh air" Adrian said to me while the party was still going on. "Everyone was busy with eachother and they won't notice us leaving, I need some peace and quiet" he said again trying to convince me. "What about Kyle?" I asked him. "You don't need to worry about that he would understand" he said pulling me up before I could say a word. I couldn't help but feel happy for Sarah she was finally in love with someone. I watched as she and Kyle talked to each other smiling and giggling every few minutes. "I just hope Kyle and Sarah would accept their feelings for eachother and both be happy" Adrian said with a smile. "Then that would be great Sarah is more than a maid to me, she is like a sister and friend that I never had." I said sipping my wine. Adrian rested on the balcony rail while I stood up looking at the moon. I watched him nodded listening to what I had to. "You always have to do this" I said what. "You always pay attention to
Adrian’s POVThe morning air crisp against my skin. I found Kyle where I expected him to be, he had a sword in his hand and he was training alone before the others arrived. That was one thing about Kyle. He didn’t wait for others to start something. He just did it.I stood watching for a few seconds and folded my arms, then I called out, “You’re going to wear out the blade before breakfast.”Kyle turned with a grin, sweat clinging to his brow. “I’ve been thinking,” I said, glancing up at the ridgeline just behind the training field. “We need a new vantage point. Something really tall. Maybe an office. Somewhere I can see everything, including who’s coming and going and who might be hiding in the woods.”Kyle followed my gaze. “You want to build it there?”“Yea, a place that’s both an office and a watchpoint. Something that keeps us ready for whatever’s coming.”He nodded slowly, “Have you thought about it properly?”“I have,” I said. “And I want you to be part of it.”Kyle tilted hi
