"We'll have to do it again, till you can get it." Yuki replied with a nod.
"Let's return to the mansion, Silas must be worried." She replied while standing from the ground and pulling her handphone from her pocket to check the time.
"It's past 4am already, let's go."
-------------------------------
"Lady Kira you're back." Silas was already waiting in the reception room when the two returned to the mansion.
"I told you not to wait, I'll be alright." Kira said when she saw Silas who seemed to have stayed up overnight.
"I was about to go search for you, it's morning already, I can't bear lord Kingsley's rage if you suddenly go missing Lady Kira." He replied then left the reception room.
"Oh by the way, have a mandatory class today in the university, it's been three days since you last attended class."
-----------------------------------
Silas watched the two in front of him devour plate after plate like it was an eating contest.
"Now that I think of it, Lady Kira wasn't particularly fond of meat but shortly before he appeared, she suddenly developed a strange interest in eating meat." Silas said with a gleam in his eyes.
"I think I'm onto something." He said while walking away from the dining to bring more plates of meat, he couldn't let the maids see this "pathetic" side of their miss.
After meal, Draven, Silas and Kira dressed up and left the mansion, heading for the university in Stormguard city. As for Yuki? He was left at home with the maids.
According to Kira, her words before leaving were for him to stay at home like an obedient boy till she's back.
"How dare she!!" Yuki thought while fuming, he must be the first Alpha to be ordered around by his Luna but there was little to nothing he could do about it.
"Just for now" he thought while trying to calm himself down.
"Staying here won't help though, since she'll be out till evening I'll just go out for a little stroll." He said then walked out of the mansion dressed in an oversized T-shirt, black jeans and sneakers.
The room given to him but the maids had a wardrobe filled with all the clothes he needed and he just picked some he felt were cool then left the mansion without a destination in mind.
"I'll just check out the town for a while then go back to the mansion."
He trailed along the pathway out of the mansion while when he suddenly remembered something.
"That's right, I never thought about it, how did they track me down back then??"
--------------------------------------
Kira arrived at the University with her usual cold look on her face. Everyone in the university knew her as the cold beauty, her silver hair seemed to attract everyone to take a second look at her.
"How many classes do I have today?" Kira asked Silas who was holding an umbrella over her head shielding her from the sun.
"Three Lady Kira." Silas replied while walking towards the lecture hall.
"Mandatory classes? I have things to do." She asked with a nonchalant look on her face.
She never cared about the grade or academics, even if she didn't write them she wouldn't fail anyways.
"I'll still recommend you attend the classes, they'll be useful later on, I think I've said this many times."
"Yeah, you've said it so many times I've lost count." Kira replied.
"But you still don't pay attention in class. How about this, try not to sleep in class today, we'll start with that." Silas said while dropping the umbrella while she walked into the hall.
"I won't make any promises, I didn't sleep overnight so I'm pretty sleepy right now, you all wait for me by the car, I'll come over when I'm done." She said then walked into the hall.
Finding a secluded location, she laid her head on the desk ignoring the lecturer's rambles and dozed off.
"She's dozing off as usual." A student near her said while looking at Kira who didn't pay the least attention to the ongoing lecture.
"What use would paying attention to the lecture do for her?" His friend sitting nearby replied while looking at Kira.
"If I could get a woman like her I'll willingly bite the dust."
"In your dreams, the only people who could dare to court her would be heirs from the other three families and that would be to strengthen their bonds possibly leading to an allegiance between two if the four families."
----------------------------------
Kira opened her eyes and glanced around finding herself in the strange desert that would occasionally appear in her dreams but everywhere looked different that before.
The sand had turned light red, looking up she realized it wasn't the sand but a red moon now hanging overhead shining down onto the desert.
"When did a red moon appear here?" She thought when she suddenly heard shuffling sounds from beneath her feet.
"That's right, if I remember the last time I came here the giant centipede was fighting with the strange blood from the crack and it later crawled up in a hole. Even though I couldn't see it clearly but I know the centipede looked like it was dying." She muttered while looking at the sand below her shifting rapidly.
'Looks like it's still alive', she thought then the ground below her opened up and the centipede burst out of the ground with blood marks all over it's body, it looked like it was about to die soon when it opened it's mouth wide, revealing a maw filled with jagged teeth and swallowed Kira up, she already got used to this so she didn't feel any need to panic.
-------------------------------------
Opening her eyes, Kira raised her head while wondering 'What happened to it? It looks like it's dying out and if it's dead will I still have those dreams?'
She couldn't understand it but she felt a sort of attachment towards the centipede and it's bloody state made her heart ache.
