Chapter 188

I turned off the shower quickly and grabbed the towel off its rack.
I didn’t bother to dry off the water from my skin as I tied it securely around me.
I had a feeling it was Ryker. My heart pounded fast. Was he here to harass me again?
As much as I was now a hybrid, I wasn’t sure I would be able to defeat Ryker in a fight. He was a vampire, or something more.. but seemed like a trained warrior. Right now, it would take more than just my powers to defeat Ryker.
But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t fight if I had to.
I looked around the bathroom and spotted a mop stick. I grabbed it, using it as a shield as I carefully stepped out of the bathroom..
I entered the room and was about to swing the mopstick in the air when I stopped midway.
“Eden?” Lord Shevek stared at me in surprise.
I straightened up immediately, throwing the mopstick to the side as I suddenly became conscious of how I was.
Lord Shevek noticed I was in a towel, and he spun around immediately.
“I’m sorry. I should have knocked before I entered.” He said, and stepped out.
I suddenly lost my strength as I plopped on the bed in relief. I never imagined I would be so glad to see Lord Shevek. For now, he was a lesser evil compared to Ryker.
I got back up and looked for a short and a shirt to wear and dressed up quickly. When I was decent enough, I opened the door.
Lord Shevek who leaned against the wall of my room gave me a gentle look, and I opened the door wider.
“Come in,”
He nodded and entered.
“I’m sorry.” He said it again. “I didn’t think you would be in the bathroom.”
I smiled. “It’s fine.”
“Are you okay? You look… tired.” Lord Shevek watched me carefully.
I looked away. “I’m fine. I just have a lot going on.”
He nodded. “I can understand that. But still-”
“Why are you here?” I tried to move his attention away from me.
“I wanted to talk to you.” He clasped his hands together in front of him.
I noticed he wasn’t with his staff today.
“About what?” I raised a brow.
“I have a feeling you don’t want to be here any longer. You are drifting away from me.” He frowned. “The reason I brought you with me to the coven was for us to get to know each other. I wanted us to bond as father and daughter, but I seem to be doing a bad job of it.”
I gave him a cautious look.
“I never said that.” I looked away.
“I know. But I can sense it. Even now, you are scared of me. I have no idea how I managed to make you feel like you can’t trust me.” Lord Shevek sighed.
“Why did you go to my mother?” I fixed a look on him, suddenly protective. “Are you trying to use her to get to me? Or you are with her because you love her.”
