Chapter 32: Training hall
She sighed inwardly, trying to ignore the influence his presence had on her. She focused instead on the training field, only to freeze as her gaze swept over the shirtless Gammas. Over fifty of them were training, their tan, sunburned bodies glistening with sweat.
"Wow, how amazing!" Ren quipped though she couldn’t help but feel a pang of frustration at his earlier behavior. "If I’m going to train here, I’ll be awake every morning!"
Kaisun’s face darkened at her words, the line between his brows deepening. "You’ll forget your courtesy, my dear Luna," he growled, his voice low and dangerous.
Ren flashed him a smirk, her voice unbothered. "So must you." With a dramatic flourish, she tugged at the sides of her long skirt and bowed mockingly, the gesture both defiant and playful.
Now too kissable! Kai told himself.
Just then, Rail sprinted to them, leaning on his sword, his eager eyes darting between the three of them. "Luna Reneira, are you here to learn? Is Gloria going to practice with us?"
"No one is practicing with you or anyone else," Kaisun snapped, snorting, his tone biting. His gaze swung to Ren, the warning in his eyes unmistakable. "You two, follow me to where the females are training."
Rail’s jaw dropped in confusion. Was their Alpha King jealous? Did he not say the female Gammas would join them today? Axe, ever the observer, tapped Rail on the shoulder, a smirk tugging at his lips.
"Did you see that? Jealousy, my friend. That’s not good. Looks like the King’s lost his heart." Rail jested.
