Slaved To The Alpha

When I turned around to give him thanks, he had already vanished. I was amused. He was like a superhero in the night that helped the hopeless and just disappeared after he solved the problem.

As for me, I just went back home to finally get the rest I had been craving since I went back here.

Krisna’s POV

The day looked like it was going to start on a high note. The shine was shining, and the air was still a little cold from last night. So it was the perfect way for me to start my day. I needed to be productive, and I needed to be great! That’s why I thought it was the perfect morning to get up early to make my day more productive.

There had to be no setbacks, and I had to maximize each day as they passed by. I didn’t want anything that would hold me back, and I just wanted to focus on myself at the moment. I don’t know how I even got to this point, but I know that everything was because of me. If not for the crucial decisions I made, I doubt that I’m even standing here right now, admiring the sunny morning. So I had to enjoy it, and it will benefit from each day.

When I thought it was time to train myself again, I was thinking that it was too early to train again, but I knew that I was ready again. I will be able to learn all sorts of new moves or even just meditate to focus my mind on more pressing matters.

I better start before Asthrid wakes up. I’m sure I won’t be able to do anything else once that demon wakes up. So, where should I start? I should ask Greco if there’s any available gym here. While it’s still quite early, I should start early as well to finish as soon as possible.

Hopefully, he’s already awake. If not, then I’ll just have to find somewhere to train myself.

I searched the entire venue for him, and I went to find him in the lobby. I even asked the receptionist if they had seen him. I didn’t expect them to be up this early. Who knows. Anyway, I almost lost all hope of finding him, so I just went to find a place where I could train myself. I’m sure that it took me half an hour, but all I found was an empty closet with cleaning supplies and utensils. I was considering it, then someone walked up on my back and tapped me on the shoulder. I was a little frozen since I wasn’t expecting anyone to come up to me at that time. “Hey! Watch where you’re touching” Immediately shouted as I thought I was being harassed.

The hand then moved away as soon as I said that. “Sorry, sorry, I just saw you there staring at the linen room. I thought you were going to sleep in there or something.” He said in a sarcastic tone that voice sounded familiar, but I had to confirm who it actually was.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I then turned around slowly, and when I looked at who it was, the man I’d been trying to find for the last half hour, Greco! This guy just comes up to me, scares me by suddenly putting his hand on my shoulder, and just acts as nothing happened.

I even screamed on the inside, It was a good thing it wasn’t that loud, or I surely would have woken everyone else that was sleeping at the time. I wanted to punch him, but he was my friend, so that goes without saying. He should not be touching women’s shoulders without telling them. It’s weird, and I find it a little creepy, but he gets a pass.

“Linen room? I thought this was the janitor’s closet or something. Wait! Why are you here? Did you know that I’ve been trying to find you for the past half an hour, and you’re just appearing out of the blue when I finally found a place where I can train peacefully?” I said to him in a frustrated tone of voice since I was about to start my training when considering the linen room earlier.

It was quite odd that he was just appearing now. Maybe he was asleep earlier? Or maybe he went to train somewhere himself, whatever his excuse maybe, I’m just glad that he is finally here since I can ask him where I could train without anyone else seeing me or even telling me what to do. I already know what I need to do. I just need the space to do it. And I think that the linen room which was almost cramped, would have made me more frustrated than I am now.

“Here? You? In this tiny room? Were you seriously considering training here? Be my guest if you want to train here. It’s still quite early, and I’m sure the staff won’t mind.” He started to get all sarcastic with me, and I know that what I was thinking isn’t exactly ideal, especially for someone like me that wants to train to the fullest. I was thinking that I should maximize every second, and I wasted half an hour just trying to find Greco. I really need to catch up on lost time. So I just got straight to the point.

“No! I was only considering training here, not that there’s nothing wrong with that. It’s just because I have been trying to find somewhere to train since I woke up earlier, but this is all the space I could find. I was hoping that you know where one could train? I just want to maximize my day, that’s all. Since Asthrid will be waking up in maybe an hour from now, I’m sure that I won’t be able to do what I want after that. So, I’ll ask this again, where can I train here? This place is literally all rooms and not even built-in gyms! I just want to get a workout, and I’m sure you know what it feels like, right?” I begged him to show me where I could train, and he just looked at me like he was confused. There was an awkward feeling between the two of us for a second as everything went silent. I was thinking of just leaving at the moment and just running away. That was one of the most intense moments since it looked like he was about to make fun of me. He looked like he was still trying to comprehend what I was saying.
