Chapter 61

One in a Century

ROYCE.

I hear Alejandro scoff at that, and I turn to him as I pull on my cardigan.

He reminds me of the background audience to a TV show or something. He really must make his presence known, not that he’s hard to miss as it is. I walk over to him.

“Mind if I take her?” I ask as I hold my hand out to shake as a peace offering.

I want to put whatever happened here, behind us. This match wasn’t going to be mentioned again, and I will never be sparring against the Lycan King again. I know my win did shock him, but I’m not trying to make him look any lower in his daughter’s eyes.

I can tell they clash often enough and don’t see eye to eye, although I put that down to their similar personalities, and I didn’t want to cause any further rifts between them.

“I fucking do mind, so stop fucking rubbing it in, knowing you both going to do whatever the fuck you want, anyway.” He growls, but he still takes my hand. “You’re not like your old man, not going to say much else out here, but let’s have that talk. You asked me a question and I’ll answer it… and regarding your spot at the academy… I have no issue if you fucking continue.”

I’m surprised at that but I simply nod. I went there unknowingly for my Lil Lucifer and I plan to stay and continue to train her…

Fuck, as wrong as I think it is, in a way, I still need to watch out for her around Aleric…

“Now I feel a bit better over the fact that I was never able to ever really best you in training.” The green-eyed goddess says as she saunters over to my car.

She’s wearing a lace crop top with a white mini skirt that seems to flare around her with every step she takes.

I drag my eyes away and look at Kiara.

“I’ll see you both soon.” I say, but she stops me by placing her hand on my arm.

“I will be looking forward to that visit in the holidays.” She says, as a wave of coolness spreads through me, and any remaining aches and pain vanish.

“Thank you.” I reply, placing my hand over hers for a second before I step back.

She smiles and nods as Alejandro pulls her close.

I walk over to Sky and open the door for her, but a flash of black blurs past me and jumps into the car first.
