Chapter 99 CHAPTER 99
I don't allow myself sleep over at Zade's house no matter how much I wanted to.
How tired I was.
It was like every orgasm sucked me deeper and deeper into the arms of sleep.
But I refused to get into more trouble than I was in already, so I made him take me back to the hostel.
He kissed me long and hard before letting me go, and I could feel his stare on my back until I was inside the hostel.
Thankfully the girls weren't back from the party so I just crawled into bed and was out like a light.
The next morning, I was the last to wake up.
“Damn, I know he must be really older to have you feeling so good you need this amount of sleep.”
It was Akua teasing me as usual, indirectly trying to figure out who I was sleeping with.
As though she could handle the truth.
“Leave me alone,” I grumbled, pulling my towel and bathing essentials out and heading to the door.
“Where are you going?” Erin asked.
I'd barely opened my eyes before I forced them wide open to look at her.
“To bathe. Aren't we late for classes?”
“First of all, today is rest day one. Secondly, you reek of orgasms from an orgy party. Stay there, I'll go get some water for you, no need to change the story everyone has already believed.”
Relief flooded my being and I rushed to my bed again and found peace in the blossom of sleep.
I'll worry about everything else later.
When I came to, there was a bucket of water next to the foot of my bed and an empty room.
I towel dried my body and smelled myself to make sure I wasn't screaming, ‘hey, I had sex’ to the whole academy before I went to the hot springs to have a proper bath
Alone.
I loved how peaceful it was without people everywhere.
It allowed me process the madness that was last night.
Not just the sex, although that was mind-numbing but how close I came to dying and the fact that Kovar really wanted to kill me. This wasn't normal bullying and whatever it was he was doing earlier, he wanted me dead for something relating to my parents.
Isn't it funny that even in their death, they are still causing me more grief?
Anyways, I finished bathing and then changed into house clothes before stepping out of the hostel.
I stayed around other people, avoided lonely paths and headed towards the library.
My journey was cut short by Styx coming from my left and stopping right in front of me.
“Hey baby girl,” I smiled at the excited horse, “thanks for the last time.”
“You look well,” Principal Draco noted, looking at me like he'd not professed his love for me a few days ago and tried to give me a random orgasm with those thick fingers.
I don't need to wonder how thick he is down there, I've felt it and my mouth watered.
‘No Alira, you should be upset by his hot and cold attitude!’ I yelled at myself mentally.
“Yes sir,” I answered, my hand going for Styx's neck.
“Get on, the doctor wants to see you.”
“Again?”
“I'll be with you this time. No more locked doors.”
“Good idea. Front or back?” I asked, trying to decipher which side of his extreme moods he was on.
He gave me a knowing look before nodding to his back.
‘Do I still reek of sex?
What's with the attitude?
Gosh, stop it Alira, this is for the best!
You have Zade now, and if the Principal becomes a jerk, you won't have to bother about falling for him.’
Done with my internal pep talk, I climbed on top of Styx and for the first time, his shadow wasn't here to help.
But Styx's a girl's girl and she bent down for me to climb easily and then we were off.
I had to grab his tunic due to how fast we were going, not hugging around his chest as I would have liked to, I'm a respectable young lady, I'll have you know.
I missed the feeling of his chest under my hands or back but I belong with another man now and the Principal's harsh attitude wasn't affecting me.
At all.
The door was open before we knocked and the dishevelled-looking doctor gave me a once-over and his face wove into an angry snarl.
“You not taken your drugs!”
My eyes went to the Principal and back at the screaming man with his fingers pointed at me.
“I've been fighting aggressively for my life Doc,” I replied, “you can ask our Principal here. He saved my life the other day and the second I was back to breathing normally without feeling like I was close to dying, someone tried to kill me again. Not much time to figure out what gene produced me, sorry.”
“You what?”
And our protective Principal Draco is back, he's better than pissed off Principal Draco, especially when I don't care about hiding Kovar's identity anymore.
“I'll explain later sir, the doctor shouldn't have to endure my sob stories.”
I actually felt really odd around the man and wanted to be out of here as soon as possible.
“Do you need anything else Doctor Marick?”
“Take drugs,” he threw at me, like a warning that the consequences were extremely grave.
“Yes I will,” I grunted as I walked past the Principal and into the corridor where I felt safe again.
This leech business needed to pack its shit up and leave, I missed a version of me that wasn't scared of a doctor appointment or his office.
“Let's go to my office so you can tell me everything.”
“Oh there's no need for that,” I protested, taking a step back again, knowing how crazy I get when this man and I are alone in a confined space.
“No?”
“It's Kovar. I've already told Z.. Master Zade everything.”
“You did what?” He snapped, getting into my space and staring down at me angrily.
Confused, I quivered with confusion.
“He rescued me sir, so I had to tell him what was happening.”
“You should have told me first, I have a right to know what's happening in my school before anyone else.”
“But sir, he was right there and –”
“I don't care for your excuses anymore Alira! Your life is in my hands and the king will have my head if his most interesting person suddenly disappeared under my care. If anyone breathes wrongly in your direction, you come to me. You hear me?!”
“Y-yes sir,” I muttered, withholding the tears that threatened to spill from my eyes.
“Good. Now go back to your hostel and take a restful day, I'll be speaking to Zade about this.”
My feet were in motion immediately, rushing out as the tears filled my face.
Gosh, when did I become such a crybaby?
