HIS (BXB) [REWITTEN VERSION] SLOW UPDATES

Chapter 13

Not Edited 

    Waking up in Hunter's bed and not remembering how I got there was freaking me out less every time it occurred. The only annoying thing was the look on his roommate's face when he knocked on the door and opened it finding us in bed together. I can still feel the jealousy come off him in waves the first time it happened. Now he sighs dramatically and rolls his eyes heavenward. "Honestly!" He would say "Rub it in why don't you!" It is quite rare for someone like him someone from a strong lineage to not have a Bonded, arranged or otherwise. Whenever I asked him about it, Hunter would shake his head or distract me with something else, like kissing me. Kissing me worked well, a little too well sometimes. Yet the guy would never answer, look away into the distance and I learned that was my queue to stop pestering him.

    A low grunt escapes me as Hunter lands a full roundhouse kick to my ribs and I swear some of them just cracked from the pressure. "Focus, Ains, focus." He all but purrs at me as he swipes his left leg at me but this time I don't fall for the faint and block his right hook. 

    OW!

    Gnashing my teeth at the strength my body has to absorb, I throw a punch of my own and graze his left jaw. 

    Dammit!

    He catches me around the waist as my momentum carries me onwards and chuckles. "Better. Far better than in the beginning." I feel his lips brush my cheek "Good job baby." It is stupid,  and I shouldn't have felt proud,  but I did. I was proud that he complimented me like some lunatic graving his approval.   We have been training after and before school since our wonderful Head Master announced us as one of the few ST. Vincent's Bonded Pairs in The Trails. Although they clearly stated there would be no betting, bets were being placed discreetly on who would get to where. I didn't like us dangling at the bottom, I had expected us to be somewhere safely in the middle.

    Although Hunter had said that it was because no one around really knew meknew me. How could they as I wasn't sure who I was myself most of the time? It felt like two distinct parts of me were opposites of each other and were now starting to merge and both sides were fighting it. As weird as it sounds, the doctor in the medical ward agreed. According to her, this is a process most others went through as they grew up, but my circumstances were drastically different, she told me that this was a gradual process and could take years to complete.

    Unfortunately, we didn't have years for my body to stabilise and accept my vampiric side of things, we only had a few weeks at most. So it is a good thing that I am rip off the band-aid kind of guy. I would have done so had I known where the damned thing was! Even Hunter couldn't help me who was my sole reference on these things with him being an Heir and all.  So now I am stuck in this half stage; sometimes showcasing vampiric feats and others tripping over my own feet on a mirror-smooth surface. Unable to move either forwards or backwards.

    I was hoping that these training sessions with Hunter would help harmonise my body since I have been doing more and more things that would have Elina raise her brows or glare at me in disdain. Good thing she wasn't here then. The only thing that did concern me was the outburst of such severe energy at random times that walls cracked and people got first to second-degree burns when caught by the said energy. According to the school doctor and the High Council/ Founding Royals, there was physically nothing wrong with me. Yet they could not explain where this energy came from or why my body was releasing it.

    Oddly enough, the Head Master did not look startled or disbelieving when he heard about it, I thought he looked more resigned than anything else. 

    So he knew about the energy waves, as I have come to call them, why would he not tell me about it?

    Before I could even ponder that question Hunter's voice sounded in my head Maybe he was hoping you didn't have them?
