The Moonchild's Destiny

9. The Spellbook

My body.... It feels so sore... I can't move..

I forced open my eyes. The beautifully carved ceiling felt different.

Where have I seen this before?... Wait! Am I not in my room right now!?

I rolled to my side and kudos to my luck, Alan just decided to walk out of the shower, wearing a bathrobe. His blonde hair was dripping with water and I watched as the droplets went down his face and throat, traveling its way down his chest and inside his robe. I unconsciously gulped down the lump in my throat.

Is this some sort of a thirst trap, 'cause oh boy, it may be really working..

"What? Like what you see?"

Alan's voice broke me out of my reverie. Realizing that I'm staring, I quickly stuffed my face in the pillow, trying my best to hide my reddened cheeks.

"Its not my fault! You came out so suddenly! Can't you knock or something?!"

"Knock? Why would I knock before coming into my own room?"

I looked up from my position on the bed, confused.

"Wait what?!"

I sat upright, quite aware of my disheveled attire and hair. Alan folded his hands above his chest, raising a questioning eyebrow at me. I'm sure the shock was evident on my face as I looked around and discovered the truth.

Shit! No! How did this happen?!... Why am I in his room? I shouldn't be here!!

I mentally face-palmed myself as I remembered the events of yesterday. The sudden onset of training made me so exhausted that I got inside the first room I saw and immediately laid myself on the bed, sleeping soundly thereafter. And, thanks to my sheer luck, that room belonged to non other than the wolf king himself.

I looked at Alan, him being in the same pose as he was standing in before, giving me time to process. I gazed at his beautiful blues, offering him a small smile as an apology. He gave out a sigh in response, clearly fed up of my daily antics. I quickly clutched the pillow with both of my hands and stood up from the bed. I was hella embarrassed at myself.

Not knowing what to say anymore, I quickly mouthed a small "sorry" before running out of the room, slamming the door behind me. Realizing I accidently took his pillow with me, I ran back and pushing the door wide open, I threw the pillow into his room.

At that moment, Alan turned to look at me. The pillow, which was meant to land on his bed, to my surprise, landed directly on his face.

Oh Shi-

I quickly covered my mouth with my hands, unsure of what to do next.

I'm in so much trouble right now! The only option left for me was to run at a lightning speed.

"I'M SORRY!!" I screamed before sprinting to my room and locking the door.

What the fuck!! What the hell was that Kiara?! Why the heck did I do that!? Alan's definitely gonna kill me today! Why, God, Why?!!

As I sat on the bed, contemplating about my foolish actions right in the morning, I remembered about the training course I'm supposed to complete.

"He is gonna get more angry if I don't show up to training today... *Sigh* .. I don't know how I'll face him after this..."

I rushed to the bathroom, getting freshened up and putting on my sports outfit. My stomach gave out a low grumble, making me aware of the undying hunger. I quickly tied my hairs into a ponytail and grabbing my jacket from the bed, I walked out of the room.
