I spent pretty much the rest of my Sunday with Valentin. I was grateful for not having training that day. I didn’t know how well I’d fair in front of Kairos with Valentin’s scent all over me.

That wasn’t to say we didn’t partake in physical activity.

In fact, I think Valentin and I physical activities all over his house. In every room. Twice.

By the time I got back to my dorm room at eight in the evening, I was a noodle. It didn’t stop Loren from asking fifty million questions about how it was and how big Valentin was and ooh – how was his house?

I answered half of them then found myself slowly falling asleep. Loren patted me on the head and said we’d resume tomorrow before climbing into her own bed.

When my alarm started blaring at five in the morning, I almost threw it across the room. In fact, I tossed my arm towards it and forgot about my new powers and knocked it off of my nightstand and into the void. I spent a good five minutes trying to find it and turn it off. When it was finally off, I apologies to Loren’s sleeping body before darting out of my room and across campus.

I entered the gym to find all three of my staring at me. Valentin had slipped back into his neutral nothingness. Maximus had a smirk on and eyebrow raised. Kairos looked as bitter as usual. I hoped, for Valentin’s sake, that both he and Maximus had kept their mouths shut.

“Morning,” I called nervously into the gym.

“Morning,” Max said back. Kairos grunted at me. Valentin gave me a soft smile.

Seemed like nothing had really changed.

“Wolfham and Moonraiser,” Valentin greeted. “Happy to have you back after your… altercation.”

Kairos grunted again. Maximus snorted a humorless laugh. “That’s one thing to call it.”

“I assume that none of it will be brought into training?” Valentin cocked an eyebrow.

“Course not,” Maximus said. “If we agree on anything, it’s helping Zora.”

“Yep,” Kairos chimed in. He looked towards me. “For Zora.”

I flushed slightly in the cheeks then cleared my throat to shake it off. I couldn’t believe how having men fight over me, and fight for me, was still making me feel. I was waiting for the hot and bothered of it all to finally wear off.

“Great,” Valentin dead–panned, seemingly unamused. “We’re going to use the dummies again today. I assume you’re both cleared to spar?”

“Spar,” Maximus nodded. “Not full out fight.”

“Noted,” Valentin replied. “I’ll turn down their tenacity today. The three of us will be blocking Zora from their attacks. We’ll take a triangle stance and move in battle formation. Zora, you’ll be in the center.”

I nodded, sharply. It was the same type of drill we’d always done. I took my space in the middle of the sparring mat. Kairos stepped into place at my two o’clock position. He didn’t look at me as he did. Maximus gave me a

small smile before patting me on the shoulder. He stepped into my six o’clock position. Finally, Valentin came to stand at my ten o’clock position.

He waved his hands and the bean bag dummies we’d been fighting since the beginning of the semester floated through the air and circled us. There were six of them as per usual. With another wave of his hand, they started their slow walk in towards us. All three of my mates dropped into a fighting stance and I did the same.
