Chapter 45

Ava made so many mistakes in training that she was surprised she had only come out of it with a few cuts and bruises. Claire managed to ruin the one thing she had felt confident about in this academy. Not letting emotions take her over while fighting was her thing. But the whole afternoon. she’d been too nervous and distracted and her paranoia was back in full force,

Her classmates were looking at her differently. And the coach. She didn’t think he had even paid attention to anyone else; he had been too intent on giving her sparring partner after sparring partner as if he was testing her limits, She’d had to rely on muscle memory to get her through, but if her partners had been any good, she would have been in the infirmary again. It seemed to have pissed the coach off that she had lasted the whole training session without being knocked out.

The moment her panic attack had abated, Ezekiel hud rushed out of the bathroom. He hadn’t turned up for tranung, and she’d felt disappointed But that was a good thing. She didn’t want to rely on anyone here, least of all Ezekiel. There was something different about him.

She didn’t like him but still felt these confusing emotions. His warnings from the first day had been on her mind all day because that seemed true now more than ever.

Mr Patrick raised his brow but didn’t dispute what she said as he continued marking his work.

Why was she always the only one in detention with him? Had he been assigned to this room on purpose? What the hell was he? The dean had

at the h hinted that he was receiving reports from her other teachers about her progress. Was Mr Patrick one of them? Was he a spy?

Mr Patrick made a face and put his pen down before he met her gaze,

“Seriously?” he asked

“So I’m right. You are reading my mind.”

“You project all your infantile thoughts so loudly,” Mr Patrick snapped. “It’s like being in a room with a psychopath. Learn to meditate and focus your thoughts, for heaven’s sake.”
