Chapter 455: Noble Guard

Thanks to the incident, Asher had made an executive decision: she was not going to be alone anymore. Not even in the bathroom.

"What if you suddenly manifest another ability?" he had said. "Someone has to be there. To do something. Anything."

Why were her powers suddenly manifesting now? Alaric believed the binding her mother placed on her was finally loosening. Asher thought it was the matebond with Griffin. Griffin was a strong wolf, and it wasn’t surprising if her instincts were pushing her to match him. More often than not, strength called to strength.

Either way, she was going to have each of the guys around her at all times. Although she wondered how this would work out once they returned to school on Monday. Others can’t know they’re together yet. It would cause commotion and disrupt the Matebond they were trying to trigger here.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was how Alaric Storm ended up standing right outside her see-through shower stall with his back turned, arms crossed, and jaw tight as he stood guard while she bathed.

Unfortunately, that was awkward as hell.

"Greetings, noble guard." Violet purred, her voice lilting with mischief as she stepped forth from the misty confines of the stall.

Alaric turned at the sound only to freeze, thunderclouds gathering in his eyes.

She stood there unashamed, glistening with droplets that clung to her naked skin.

Her hair, soaked and clinging to her temple, framed her flushed face. But his gaze, traitorous as ever, dropped down and traced the rivulets that trailed boldly down her curves, one rolling across her breast and curling beneath the rosy peak of her nipple. His growl was low, and feral, a crackle of lightning dancing at his fingertips.

"Careful now," Violet said lightly, her tone teasing yet edged with warning. "I’d rather not be roasted alive in thine attempt to keep watch. There’s water everywhere, after all."

Violet had learned the old English and it was quite a delight when he responded in the same fashion.

"Hast thou need of aught?"
