Chapter 224 Training Room

As soon as the doors closed behind Lexi and she was left in the relative darkness of

the training room, she let out a breath that she hadn’t known she had been holding.

She was still furious about the way some of the Elders thought about her and the

worked hard and acted intelligently.

and it irritated her when men hovered around her, unsure of what to do with

themselves.
