I found an internal warmth spreading through my body, touching me in places. My breathing became hitched.
“My eyes are up here,”
Killian’s voice broke into my thoughts. Instantly, my eyes shot up to meet him. I averted his gaze sharply, feeling my cheeks hot.
“Let’s just begin,”
I said.
“First I need to know how much you’ve learned,”
He threw the short-length sword at me. I managed to catch it before it k!ssed the earth.
I blinked from the sword to him.
“You don’t exactly have your wolf, so you must find something else to protect yourself. Something that can aim as well as kill,”
He pointed at the sword, sounding as though he was training me for war instead. “Shouldn’t we at least begin with a crafted sword instead?”
“No,”
he sounded firm. “That’s just fine, now show me what you’ve got.”
I wielded the sword in my hands. Killian gestured at me to strike and I did. In a swift motion, he hit the sword from my grasp, his hand clutching my neck, slamming me against the tree.
“You are not fighting against a human, Naomi. You may be up against a wolf, a vampire, or any other kind of creature. Your grip should be firm,”
He was speaking, but I swear I stopped listening to him a long time ago. My traitorous heart had picked up a race, and my body was a second away from melting in Killian’s arms.
His scorching breath on me wasn’t helping my case, as my body had a mind of its own. I placed a hand on Killian’s chest, and at my action he stopped moving, his hold on my neck softening, and his body pressing hard against my own. His hand on my neck slowly moved up to my face, then got lost in my hair.
He leaned closer to me, and my hand walked up to his neck when it felt a certain roughness in his skin.
My eyes darted to the spot, and my eyes widened.
“What happened to you, Killian?”
I looked up to meet his gaze, turning dark and furious.
Naomi’s point of view
I regretted those words as soon as they left my lips.
Killian’s gaze hardened, growing darker and deadlier with a striking rage.
In a flash, his body pulled away from mine and walked back to the middle of the field.
“Come at me, and don’t hesitate. Fight like you are literally fighting for your survival.”
His words were clear and held no emotion at all. It was brutally cold.
I picked up the sword laying on the ground, holding it tightly as I took my stance, but my eyes were on his chest instead.
I shifted my gaze to him. He was staring at me with dark, unknowing eyes.
I lunged at him, and again, Killian slapped the sword from my hands. His hand, this time, shoved me against the tree, aiming for my chest.
“If I was a real threat, your heart would be in my hand right now. You have to fight like you badly want to live,”
His voice sounded like a high-pitched yell.
“What happened to you, Killian? How did you get those scars?”
My lips ranted so stupidly, as my eyes dwelt again on his chest that was branded with several scars, as though they were etched deeply into his soul.
I didn’t gaze up to meet those dark eyes of his that I knew were no doubt glaring furiously at me. I couldn’t quell the pain that pinched my chest just at the sight of those scars. I felt so much pain that it almost made me want to cry. I hated this god-damned feeling. But I couldn’t help it.
? heard a faint howl at the back of my head. I could feel Adie rove to the front of my mind, but she didn’t utter a word.
When Killian neither responded nor moved away from me, I was forced to jaze up at him. He was staring down with the usual fathomless dark pit in his eyes, and his expression was unreadable. I couldn’t tell if he was furious or not.
“It doesn’t concern you; now focus,”
He didn’t yell, but there was noticeable brutality and roughness in his voice.
He backed away, and I recollected the sword from the ground, aiming for him. I evaded his attack several times before he pinned me against the tree.
I didn’t utter a word about the scars, even though I was dying with so many questions. We kept on training till dawn slowly sneaked in on us. I was exhausted by then. I collapsed on the ground, panting heavily while Killian gathered the weapons.
“You can rest up before coming to the office. Be on time tonight,”
he bellowed from afar, before walking into the woods.
Right on cue, Ria appeared at my side. She was kind enough to come with some water, which I swiftly gulped down. “It must be really exhausting to train with Alpha Killian,”
Ria stated, but it sounded more like a question.
I released a frustrated sigh. “You can’t even begin to imagine,”
I told her honestly, as we walked back to the castle.
It was far worse than exhausting. He was training me like he was training one of his warriors. Morgan never trained me this hard. And III preferred the crafted swords instead, in case he might have forgotten that I was basically a human. I didn’t have the super healing traits of being a wolf. If I injured myself during the training, it would take a longer time to heal from the injury.
Ria sent me a pitiful look. We reached the castle gates. I looked around the pack, and everyone was either bustling around or moving about with chains.
“Is something happening today?”
I asked Ria, noting our surroundings.
Her eyes also scanned around, suddenly turning pale. “Er-“
She dragged on, sounding confused or searching for the right words. “It’s really nothing. Don’t pay any attention to that,”
she rushed on, going into the castle.
I followed suit behind her, heading to my chamber. I showered and got dressed in a deep violet sleeveless dress. I went down for breakfast at the pack house. I have been having my meals there instead, with the pack members and Morgan as well. At least I get to avoid Killian’s insufferable lover.
I had my breakfast with Brielle, Ria, and a few members of the pack. Unlike usual, the Packhouse was rather quiet, and not many people appeared for breakfast. Those who did ate in silence. Even Brielle and Ria focused on their food, barely muttering a word. Everything just seemed weird, even the atmosphere of the pack was strange.
I finished my breakfast and headed to the castle.
