I turned off the shower quickly and grabbed the towel off its rack.

I didn’t bother to dry off the water from my skin as I tied it securely around me.

I had a feeling it was Ryker. My heart pounded fast. Was he here to harass me again?

As much as I was now a hybrid, I wasn’t sure I would be able to defeat Ryker in a fight. He was a vampire, or something more.. but seemed like a trained warrior. Right now, it would take more than just my powers to defeat Ryker.

But that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t fight if I had to.

I looked around the bathroom and spotted a mop stick. I grabbed it, using it as a shield as I carefully stepped out of the bathroom..

I entered the room and was about to swing the mopstick in the air when I stopped midway.

“Eden?” Lord Shevek stared at me in surprise.

I straightened up immediately, throwing the mopstick to the side as I suddenly became conscious of how I was.

Lord Shevek noticed I was in a towel, and he spun around immediately.

“I’m sorry. I should have knocked before I entered.” He said, and stepped out.

I suddenly lost my strength as I plopped on the bed in relief. I never imagined I would be so glad to see Lord Shevek. For now, he was a lesser evil compared to Ryker.

I got back up and looked for a short and a shirt to wear and dressed up quickly. When I was decent enough, I opened the door.

Lord Shevek who leaned against the wall of my room gave me a gentle look, and I opened the door wider.

“Come in,”

He nodded and entered.

He said it again. “I didn’t think you would be in the
