Chapter 10 : You're Losing Your Focus

Vika's POV

Despite Henry's warnings, I already knew I was going to sneak out and go to the training grounds.

I'd thought about it a lot. Even though there was a chance that Asher might have changed his mind and not show up, I had to go.

My heart pounded in my chest with each step toward the training grounds. I kept telling myself not to be hopeful that Asher was even going to show up.

When I saw him standing there, my heart beat even faster, galloping like a horse in my chest. I felt my entire body heat up at just seeing him.

Giggling like a giddy schoolgirl, I quickened my pace. I wanted to be closer to him, and that desire compelled me forward.

"Prince Regent Asher," I said, bowing slightly when I was close enough to talk to him. Asher raised an eyebrow at me.

"I would have been happier if you had just called me Asher every time you met me. Or babe or darling if you don't mind." The wicked smile on his face really blew away my bad mood.
