Chapter 37. To a Friend
SKYLA.
Royce smiles faintly and I wonder what’s on
his mind.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, too.” He says to Leo, before turning to Azura. “You must be Luna Azura, it’s an honour.”
“Yes, in the flesh. Nice to meet you too.” Azura says, holding her hand out to him. He
takes it, giving it a gentle squeeze before he
lets go.
What a gentleman.
I can feel Azura’s huge eyes burning into me, and I turn my gaze to her. There’s a knowing look in her eyes and my stomach does a flip. I’m not that obvious, am I?
“I’m sorry to intrude, but I was unable to get through to you regarding your training session?” Royce says quietly, those

Royce nods. “Time can’t be borrowed, but of
course, I’m willing to give you some of mine.” He replies lightly. 4

“Oh, that was a lovely line. So poetic.’ Kataleya exclaims as all eyes turn to her. She blushes, shrinking into her seat as she hides
behind me a little. 4
“Yes, I can sense the romance in the air.” I add, gagging, trying to get the attention she hates, away from her.
“Don’t make me change my mind on this.”
Leo says pointing with the back of the pen at
the textbook. 2
Royce smirks, “I’ll see you later then.”
He says to Leo before he turns and walks off.
I can’t help but glance at his back and that
ass.
“Ahem.” Azura says and I quickly turn back, raising an eyebrow.
“What?” I frown.

some time to talk.
