Punished?
"You're being unfair." I said, my voice shaking with anger at the end.
Miro raised a teasing brow. "Unfair? You're the one who lashed it at someone knowing fully well that you're on thin ice."
"He really tried to nm me over!"
"And that is not an excuse to walk headfirst into traps" Miro snapped.
I let my gaze fall to the floor, angry and unhappy that he was somewhat right.
Tiet
Releasing a breath to swallow my pride, I asked, "What's my purishment?"

I was ready t to get this over with
When I heard nothing. I raised my eyes to see Miro watching me with an unreadable expression. Suddenly, he sprang to his feet, coming around his table with the stride of a predator.
As he passed by me, I couldn't escape the smell of his perfume. He was wearing something coconut and vanilla today, a stark contrast to his stinky attitude but nonetheless, seductive and alluring. Crossing the room to a cabinet behind us. I turned around and saw him rummage through until he brought out something small and came to me. I watched him hed him warily as he got close, his body so big, I couldn't see anything else behind nd him.
Suddenly, the air shift the air shifted, my breath stuttering in my lungs as I noticed
he looked very much like his brother.
He stared down at me, his lips set in a firm downturn, his green eyes betraying no empathy, and yet, he was standing way too close for comfort - so close I could smell his aftershave too. When desire hit me like punch to the gut, I took a step back to feel less suffocated. To my horror, I tripped over one of his many books on the floor and held on to air to keep my balance Unfortunately, falling over was imminent, but then Miro shot out his hand and pulled me back to my feet.

In the process, I landed against his chest, hard, and I could have sworn I felt my wolf stir in delight. I looked up into his gold flecked eyes, watching his brows pull together in confusion. Am I being attracted to Miro because of his resemblance to Theon? Or is the Moonstone really messing with my hormones right now?
Before my thoughts could take me any further, I watched his gaze soften, flickering to my lips and then back to my eyes.
I should feel uncomfortable being this close to my superior, but wasn't. If anything, for some reason unknown to me, I wanted him to continue staring at me with those soft eyes.
His gaze fell to my bandaged elbow, and then he slowly reached for it, untying the knots. When he unwrapped my elbow, we discovered my wound had healed, leaving behind a faint scar that was still in the process of clearing up. He ran a thumb over the scar gently, almost absentmindedly, but there was something about it that was sensual. Something that made me want him to do it again.
Miro blinked, and suddenly, his soft gaze was gone, bringing back his hard stare. Before I knew it, he was stepping away from me, letting me go like I was a plague,
He stretched out his hand to the, and when I looked down, I saw flash drive in it.
"What's this for?" I asked.
"This is your punishment." He said, with no warmth in his voicn Take it."
1 frowned, unsure of what he was on to but obeying regardless
"In that drive are recondings of: some of my best fighting sessions as well as my brother's. You are to watch and write detailed summaries of the fight sessions. I want it done before your next lest" Slowly,
I collected the drive and wondered what the punishment wa
"You're dismissed" He said, going back xto his seat.
1 headed for the door but stopped in my tracks and turned aroul. "Can I ask something?"
I
Miro took his seat and leaned his elbows forward on his chair like a businessman. "I'm listening
"Were you able to see the doctor concerning your symptoms?"
Miro blinked.
Miro inked, his demeanour changing to indicate that he had. That's none of your business." He said and began to open boot his computer and open files.
I stood there for a moment t too long, wondering

t I did to deserve such hostility from him. Then I decided I was past. caring. If he wanted to make an enemy out of me, then an enemy he would get. the room, I was sure to slam the door a little bit too hard before storming away.
By the time I went downstairs, class had already begun, and I stopped a few feet from the entrance to get myself together.
That bastard that calls himself Konan will be checking my face to see if I was suffering, and I'd like him to know I was not.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
I steeled my spine and entered into class with my head held high, and my chin pointed. Before I took my seat, I made sure to look Konan in the face.
He already had a smug look on, ready to laugh at my sadness, but I gave him my best smile, making his smirk drop immediately.
Satisfied
isfied with his reaction, I faced forward, and Adam, who had been teaching earlier, decided to brief me on what he had said so I could catch up. "Like I said before you came," he added. "The rest of the three tests will be packed into one session, leaving combat as the last.
I swallowed
"So you all should prepare. The test is in three days, and aside from getting a free ticket to The King's Ball, there will also be
a fairly huge monetary prize courtesy of an anonymous donor. So, who will win this test?"
Everyone raised their hands in glee, but instead of joy or determination, I became worried.
I could barely handle the simulation test, and Theon almost died.
Now, I don't have as much as his lifeforce to back me up. Could I really do strength, speed, and combat tests all in one day? 10:45 Wed, Oct 30 BB

1 leaned back in my chair, placing my hands on my head.
