    I was not sure what time I actually fell asleep because he had wrecked my body in the most beautiful way possible.

    Killian was my first rtionship, if I could even call it that. No, scratch that.

    He was my first physical rtionship.

    My experience with alpha men treating me like shit had left me scarred as a young girl.

    I had not let anybodye close to me, much less touch me. I had been scared of bing just a showpiece in someone’s life, a woman meant to bow her head and do what is asked without asking a question.

    And then I devoted all my time to the Bureau. That could be why I easily fell for the easygoing charm and smile of Killian because I felt that void inside of ollime. /li/ol

    But now, as I spent more time with him, I could slowly see how he had not been faking all of it. Even if he could have been cruel and ruthless like his siblings, he wasn’t.

    He actively chose to be a nice guy if he could afford it.

    And being a good guy in such a evil society was like painting a target on his back.

    And despite the hidden truths, I still craved him. Deep down, I somehow felt he was someone I could feel secure with.

    No matter what the situation, the amount of anger or frustration inside of me, I had never stopped feeling that.

    His tongue, his touch, just about everything of him sated me like nothing else did. I had heard stories of fated mates falling head over heels for each o and bing each other’s sole reason of existence.

    Sometimes I would wonder if that was just a fairytale because the Burueau had ino /ishortage of cases that made me feel it was all an illusion.

    Yet some corner of me wanted to experience that warmth and love.

    I was not sure if calling what I felt for Killian was love. Nope, it was just a sense of security and…friendship?

    But then friends weren’t supposed to make each other moan.

    I hated him for his half lies yet my body craved him. It was so confusing I only stared at him for a while as my eyes fluttered shut.

    Thest thing I heard was his warning and willed my brain to not let me down tomorrow morning.

    I wasn’t sure I would be able to even walk tomorrow, let alone run, but I was going to show up no matter what.

    Because I wanted many more such nights with him.

    I slept blissfully as he pulled the sheets over me and tucked me like a baby. I was too exhausted and fell asleep almost instantly.

    Thankfully, I got a few hours of sleep before I was awoken by the harsh banging on the door.

    “Mydy, wake up!!”

    I heard Mary’s voice as she banged her hands on the door.

    “Come in” I groaned in sleep, turning from one side to the other.

    b1/3 /b

    “Get up! You are going to bete for the training today!!”

    She pulled the sheets off me and meant to haul me up but almost screeched in horror and stepped back.

    rmed, my eyes flew open and I looked at her in shock.

    “Did you see a spider of something? Why are you screaming?”

    Her cheeks med red as she did not look at me but only pointed a trembling finger in my direction.

    Confused, I looked down at myself and realized that I was naked.

    I did pull up the sheets to cover myself out of habit but got out of the bed while muttering,

    “Ohe on, don’t be so prude. You have seen me naked plenty of times.”

    I said and dashed forward to the bathroom to quickly brush my teeth.

    Her shy voice was barely a whisper as she said. “There are marks…on your body”

    And that is when I sshed water on my face.

    “Yeah, I do have the mark of the Blessed…” I began but as the water trickled down my eyes and I saw my reflection in the mirror, I realized she was referring to the several bite marks on my body.

    Shit.

    I had no memory of them, but my brain did a good job of flooding me with the memories ofst night.

    Killian had bit into my flesh numerous times and left me bite marks on my body.

    I realized that I had identally let Mary on a secret. It was not as if I had any issues with her knowing I had sex but the moments between me and kildea were just for us.

    Just mine.

    And I had stupidly just let her in on something that I wanted to visitter and wonder about when I was alone sometimeter.

    But there was nothing I could do about it now. She knew we were two adults sharing a room so hopefully she wouldn’t be as scandalized as I assumed

    after her shock died down.

    She didn’t reply and I didn’t bother exining anything to her because I had to get on the ground in time. So I was out of the bathroom, put on my training clothes and was running towards the ground in no time.

    + did catch her staring at me with her cheeks still bright red but only smiled as she pretended to do the bed.

    And my legs reminded me of how much they didnt want to run today. Pretty much, my body didnt want to do anything excepty on the bed and sleep. all day.

    I felt sore and peachy, but I knew Killian would give me a tough time if I gave him that reason so I was just going to push through and then maybe just sit

    with Sarah and rx a little.

    Hopefully, I would be able to convince him to let me go sooner to the temple today because I was falling behind on the scroll work because I would get so exhausted with training that sometimes I would just sit beside Sarah and catch some sleep while sitting on the bench andying my head on the desk to

    rest.

    With that thought in mind, I somehow made it to the ground where Killian was already waiting for me.

    He was back to being the strict trainer and didn’t spare me a nce, nor did he ask if I had gotten some sleep.

    b12:05 /bbMon/bb, /b25 Aug ? N

    “You have run enough for two weeks, so I think you can do that in your spare time. Now, I think we should move to some real and interesting prof

    Oh, thank god. I was in no mood to run around the grounds.

    b“/bThat’s great,” I muttered, already feeling that he was going to teach me something

    I could just sit and watch.

    He didn’t acknowledge my words and simply stated.

    “But for that, we have to get to the fitness section of the castle.”

    When I looked at him quizzically, he added, “What the humans nowadays refer to as a gym.”

    Humans.

    He had not said that in a derogatory way, but somehow it made me

    realize what he saw when he looked at me.

    A weak human running through the castle grounds and inot /ibeing able to keep up after just one round.

    I had also not managed to hit him even once yet since myst shameful try.

    But that didn’t mean I was going to quit trying.

    So I chinned up and said in a more confident tone than I actually felt.

    “Sure, take me there.”
