Chapter 146: Followed (2)
"You need to take a break now, Selene. I admire your willingness to try over and over again but I will stop here for the night," Xavier said as he took his seat beside Selene.
Selene laid on the floor which somehow felt as wonderful as her bed. "I will lay here for a while until I think my back feels better. I’m sure there is more you could do to overpower me but I already see why no one has been able to stop you. How did you learn to be so fast?"
"Getting away from the family meetings my father wanted me to attend was good practice. Practice is what you need, Selene. Every pureblood can be fast, it is up to you to train to be faster. It is expected to keep up with your training and not rely on the mere fact you are a pureblood. You will get there," Xavier said, confident she would.
Selene showed great determination. Some might find this boring and give up, relying on being a pureblood since no one would bother them. The recent attacks showed that was hardly the case.
Xavier raked his fingers through Selene’s hair, trying to fix it so it appeared as it was when she entered.
"I am lucky to not sweat since my hair would not be in the best state for you to touch. Is it bad?" Selene asked, touching the ends of a few strands of hair.
"It is not," Xavier replied, his fingers sliding through her hair. "You look lovely."
"I don’t know if I can believe your words. I have fallen to the floor many times which I have lost count for. You are seeing me not at my greatest know. It is unfair how well you look now as if you were not fighting against me. I don’t like it," Selene said, sitting up.
It meant she didn’t manage to make Xavier exhaust himself even a little.
