Chapter 14: Hot Kind Of Training!
A few hours into closing hours, an envelope arrived when Rin was taking a huge bite from one of the chocolates he received as gifts. He at first thought it was another threatening message from Lucien’s lovers. There was no sender’s name, no seal, just his name scrawled across it like a secret.
He opened it and glanced through the content.
"Training tonight. Interior Hall. Midnight."
Rin stared at it between bites of his chocolate, pulse ticking a little faster.
DING!

Rin hid the letter safely, not because he wanted to. If he ended up throwing it in the trash can, it could be found by someone. A staff. Or, a student. Maybe the Dean himself.
But, why would he be searching through the trash can?
That question made Rin remember the Dean and what he said to him about his mother. The dream he had wasn’t just a dream. He knew it was a past memory that belonged to Rin’s original owner.
