Chapter 41 - 41 Valoria
The next morning, Kyra found herself in a state of grogginess. The sun shone brightly, preventing her from getting the rest she needed.
As she rose from her bed, she couldn't help but feel the heat and sweat clinging to her body, exacerbated by her worn-out and dirty clothes.
She rubbed her eyes and made her way towards the window, gazing outside in an attempt to understand what was happening to her. A mild ache had been present in her body the previous day, but she had dismissed it. Now, fully awake, she felt a mild throbbing pain coursing through her entire being.
"Is this because I'm going to transform into a beast soon?" she wondered, returning to her bed and rubbing her hands together as she closed her eyes. Uncertainty filled her mind as she contemplated the nature of her own beast form. The frostlyn remained a mystery even to the scientists. Would she appear dangerous, beautiful, or perhaps cute like Lucas? She had no clue.
Suddenly, there came a knock at the door, interrupting her thoughts. Kyra opened her eyes and hastily ran her fingers through her hair, trying to present herself in a more presentable manner.
She then opened the door to find a handsome man with long black hair standing before her. His yellowish eyes met hers, and he smiled warmly as he held up a bag of clothes.
"These are your new clothes for you, female" he said, his voice filled with charm.
Kyra accepted the bag from his cold hands, her eyes fixed on him as she returned his smile. "Thank you, um..."
"Derek," he interrupted, flashing another charming smile. He seemed pleasantly surprised by Kyra's gratitude, as females rarely thanked males.
