Kaya
I peel my eyes open, but the pleasant weight of sleep still clings to my body, reluctant to let me go.
I try to shift slightly, just enough to get the blood flowing through my stiff limbs—but the moment I move, a sharp pain radiates through me, making me wince and nearly gasp aloud.I'm sore. Everywhere.So much so that it feels like I was beaten black and blue last night.
Then, despite the ache, my body jerks upright—my eyes flying open in sudden realization.I was beaten last night.I was in a training match. With Magnus.
The memories rush back in an overwhelming flood, but one detail rises above the rest and slams into me with full force—last night, I shifted again.
Magnus pushed me. Provoked me. And… it worked.
I shifted.
But then…
I flinch, my gaze darting down to my chest.Goddess—not again!I groan internally, cursing the stars and my damn fate.
He saw me naked. Again.
