The man said in a raising voice as he moved closer to Ozouf and looked directly into his eyes. Ozouf took a deep, heavy breath and looked back at the man. “I said go home Edon! Phlan isn't home.” He said as he raised alarm. "Young master! Go home as it is very late. Besides, I really don't know neither have any idea where Phelan is. She left home and since then she hasn't returned yet!" Ozouf said as he turned his back on Edon. Who then stood still, biting his first finger as he tried to reason. Moving few steps from side to side of the door, expressing all his dissatisfactions.

“The rules are we share. That’s it. What’s yours is ours, brother.” Before Keane could make a rebuttal, the door opened again, and Beau stepped in, closing it behind him and then turning the lock three times, just like he always did. Diagnosed with a severe form of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, not even the meds took away all the symptoms. We loved him anyway. “What’s the problem in here, gentlemen?” he asked. “I could hear shouting down the hall.” “Keane met the new intake,” I said. “But he’s trying to claim her for himself.”

I can’t skip it. By the time I make it to the training ground, everyone’s already gathered. The chatter dies down as Luna Serena steps forward, her presence commanding. She scans the crowd, her usual calm and authoritative expression firmly in place. “Alright, today’s going to be… fun,” she begins, a sly smile tugging at the corners of her lips. The word ‘fun’ sounds like a threat. “I’ve brought in someone special for you all—a combat master.” Excited whispers ripple through the group until she steps aside, revealing a small, unassuming woman with a name tag that reads "Coach Morgan." She’s shorter than anyone here—barely over five feet—with wiry arms and a steely glint in her eye.

’ I teased my brother through the link. John held his smile, resisting the urge I knew he had to roll his eyes at me as he came to stand next to me. ‘Shut up and watch your mate come down the aisle.’ John responded. Soon everyone stood as the string instrumental version of All of Me by John Legend filled the air.

His hand rested lightly on the curve of my waist, grounding and maddening all at once. “I see that our Luna has been training you.” Nolan said, choosing to direct his question to the children who are watching excitedly. “And I can tell if this is how your training is starting, then I'm going to have a stronger league on my line, aren't I?” I tilted my face up, ready to ask what the hell he was doing. I wanted to ask what he was doing, but the smile that was on his face was one that I never saw. Even the children were happy to see him like this.

I said as I fought a smile. “You give them everything and this is how they treat you,” Gabe sighed. “I’ll get started on your mythical. I’m Adea. What can I get you?” I asked his friend. “I heard. I’m Leo. I’ll take what Gabriel’s having,” he said. He wore a white baseball cap flipped back, his blonde hair was shaved short, but long in the front. He was handsome, his light brown eyes stared at me with interest and a hint of jealousy. As if there was anything to be jealous about between me and Gabe.

she said, chin high. Another voice joined. “I do.” An older man pushed through the crowd, glasses perched on a crooked nose, hands ink-stained and callused. Eamon, the old scholar. The man who taught Noah to read his first words. “I’ve seen the man you’ve become,” Eamon said. “Your mother would’ve been proud.

“Is this for Reyna again? Is this person her friend? Why would you want to know about her friend when you can ask her?” “Because Reyna doesn’t know about him also. She doesn’t know shit about him, where he lives or comes from…” Joe's lips curled up into a smile as he leaned towards Niko. “So this person is a boy.. impressive..” he said sarcastically making Niko eye him. “What do you mean?” Niko asked with raised brows. “You’re..:just…jealous..” Joe mocked him, standing from the chair and walking towards the door. “You don’t want him to take baby Reyna from you….what a pity..” he mocked, sniffing in before walking out of the office.

Taio let out a snigger in contempt then said to Joe, “Joe, there’s no need for you to be such a big talker. You’re just scared of me being so brutal that I’ll beat your new instructor to death and that’s why you hid him, right? Why do you have to lie about him being in isolation training? Let me tell you this: I’ve already looked into his identity. Zayn Larson, right? He’s a businessman in Waltz City who beat the two deadbeats, Xander Griffin and Mia Walker, to death, and he’s known as the most powerful man in Guineve.
