Chapter 29 Intimate Feelings
Kai's POV
The whole situation was a mess. I was having a hard time trying to put one and two together but it wasn't easy from where I was standing. In a soan of two to three minutes, Mira and Zara had said two things that didn't pass my notice.
"Who then was controlling the academy systems?" I asked, staring into Mira's eyes.
"That's what I have to figure out." She responded carefully.
"So.... You're not even sure." I stated, shaking my head furiously.
I didn't want to say anything, neither did I want to be involved in whatever was going on. Clearly, everyone needed a break from this whole assumptions or whatever was going on here.
"We should return to class." I said.
Zara looked up at me, probably expecting a different reaction or just anything from me but I failed to give away the feelings that were growing inside of me.
"Class... The second class for the day should begin in about a few minutes." I signalled as I played around with my wristwatch.
I took a step back, before turning my body to follow the direction in which I was going towards.
"Hey Kai... Wait up!" Zara said as she jogged towards my side.
She touched my left shoulder blade making me to flinch.
She paused before she continued in her steps.
"Is everything okay?" She questioned.
"Yes. Everything is okay." I responded in a clipped tone.
"Are you sure you're good?" She questioned again.
"Zara... Please stop pushing." I begged not wanting to push her away in a rude manner.
Fuck!!! What was wrong with me this morning. Why were my moods all over the place. I walked quickly, turned towards a hall before disappearing from their sight.
I leaned on a wall in an unoccupied hallway, rubbing my temples slowly as I felt a slight headache start coming up.
"You're good." I said.
"You're good."
"This is some weird dream.
"You'll be fine."
I repeated the mantra severally till it stuck into my head like a playlist on repeat. Then I pushed myself off the wall before heading to the second class. It was a fighting class so as always, I took my seat at the forefront to watch everything that happened.
My wolf smelt Zara's scent in the hall. It groaned within me.
"You're almost drooling." I heard a fellow warrior knight snicker towards my direction.
I just laughed deeply as I ruffled my hair with my free hand.
"Mind your business dude!" I sneered.
I was in no mood to play games with anyone, so I really hoped that everyone kept to their own side of the hall for as long as I was here.
"Zara and Tisha. Begin your dual match." An instructor announced.
They both took their stance in front of each other. Whilst Tisha tried to do a few run up exercises, Zara just wiped a sweat off her forehead then folded her hands in an akimbo style while putting all her weight into one foot.
She stared deep into her partners eyes and at some point, it actually looked like she could see through the person's soul.
"Are you ready?" The instructor blew through a horn.
"Yes Sir." They both responded mechanically.
"Get ready..." The instructor said.
They both started warming up for the fight.
"Begin!" He yelled through the horns.
Zara dodged every strike thrown her way. She was timing her opponent, watching out for her flaws and as well baiting her. She had just noticed that her opponent was beginning to wear out and so she smiled.
She fucken smiled and that did a whole lot to my insides.
She was beautiful. Those lips. I missed the feel of her lips on mine too.
She struck. Not the way Tisha would have expected. A serious upper hand cut to her neck. Tisha fell to the ground in a loud thud.
Ooooohhhhhssss!!!! were heard all around the room.
I was so proud of her.
"Tisha down. Medics take her out!" The instructor threw out an order.
"Castillo go against Zara."
I was ready to storm out of my seat and put a stop to the match but then, I felt her hand.
Dr. Voss's hand.
My body flinched as her fingernails scraped the back of my shirt.
"Why are you in such a tight spot?" She questioned.
"And I hope the way your eyes are fixated on her, I'll be getting a full report by noon right?' She sneered.
"As I told you earlier on. There's no update at the moment." I responded before shifting away from her.
She chuckled slightly before stepping out of the room.
Zara and Castillo were engaged in a serious fight. Punches were thrown here and there. Zara tried dodging a few but the ones she didn't see coming clearly messed a few parts of her body up.
"Why are we pairing man against woman in today's fight?' I questioned the instructor.
"Everyone needs to be adequately prepared for such fights." He responded nonchalantly.
"You never know the situation you might find yourself in"
"Hmmm." I pondered on what he had said.
There was actually truth in what he was saying. My mind drifted back to Luna and Rex. Why had they come into our lives just to be gone in a short time? Or what if Dr. Voss had done something really bad to them? No... That couldn't be! Anytime I thought of them, happy memories just filled my head. Maybe... Just maybe... That was a sign that everything is indeed good.
Zara finally won the match. I was so so proud of her. My heart swelled with joy on the inside. She turned to face me, winking at me and biting her lower lip sluggishly. Fuck!!! I wanted to kiss her.
I excused myself from the room, just as Zara retired to the training room to clean up. I blocked her path in the room as I grabbed her neck slightly, pushing her closer to myself. I lowered my lips to her and gave her a full blown kiss.
By the time we shifted to get air, I leaned my forehead on hers, our breath fanning each other.
"Can I fuck you?" I asked.
