Training.

Over the days of kliara’s training, Jacob was there to carry her training kits and serve her demanding needs all day long and each time klaira made Jacob’s day hell, he complied effortlessly making kliara more pissed off and more curious as to what kind of man Jacob was.

Although Jacob was under her control, kliara doesn’t feel that her messing around with Jacob actually meant a thing to him, instead someone she wanted to put in his place became a challenge for her.

Meanwhile Kliara aces all her training in becoming a hunter, she was so good in handling any weapon given to her and this marveled Jacob who was always there watching her.

When it comes to training, she was not easily distracted as she put all her efforts and focus in achieving an outstanding result.

Due to her excellent results, Kliara was done with training in no time and was sent to go out hunting wild animals to test her skills.

‘Time is running out, i need to find the information on the location of the oracle’ Jacob was thinking to himself as he follows kliara to go train her archery skills in hunting.

‘she hasn’t given me more of a chance to look for what i want ’ he continued because what he thought to be an easy job became a difficult one to him because of kliara.

But in order not to raise any suspicion, he kept waiting for the right moment.

“Stay close to me always, else you want to be food for wild animals out here” kliara breaks the silence between them as she addresses Jacob coldly.

Jacob remains quiet as he continues following her.

They searched and waited for hours, and just like other days kliara found no animal to use in testing her skills in archery.

This was because Jacob found it cruel with no enough reason to kill animals just for training, being an apex predator himself he had marked his territory there making no single animal to be seen within sight.

With another unsuccessful hunt, kliara decided to call it a day as it was getting late but just then Jacob sensed an incoming threat.

He knows no animal will dare come their way except it was not in control of itself, kliara was quickly alerted by the rapid movements in the bushes as she got her crossbow ready and pointed it to the direction where it was coming from.

Kliara was cautious and at the same time nervous because it was her first time facing such a situation.

It wasn’t long then there it was.

A wild boar dashes out of the bushes charging at them, Kliara was ready to take her shot when the string on the crossbow got loose. Kliara immediately tried to connect back the string with the wild boar closing in.

Jacob watching all this figured that the boar had gone rabid as he saw its eyes full of rage with no fear of his presence, he never wanted to interfere but Jacob saw no other option as the boar was closing in on Kliara who was still trying to fix back the string.

Not wanting to use his powers to avoid being discovered by Kliara, Jacob got out the spare bow and arrow he was holding and immediately shot at the wild boar accurately between its eyes which brought it crashing down immediately.

Due to the close distance between kliara and the wild boar, Jacob quickly drags Kliara out of the way to avoid being hit by the falling boar.

It happened so fast that after everything, Kliara found herself in Jacob's arms. This was the first time Kliara had been that close to Jacob, she could feel the warmth coming from jacob's body and for the first time she felt vulnerable.

“The trick is not to force the string on the bow” Jacob muttered to Kliara who was still in his arms.

Kliara pushes herself away immediately from Jacob, not knowing if to thank him for saving her life or scold him for interfering with her training.

She stared at Jacob who looked so calm and was in no way phased by what had just happened, meanwhile she was trying so hard not to break character and show how shaken she was.

“It’s getting late, let’s take the kill and head back” she spoke softly this time as she can’t bring herself to thank Jacob.

She was not just upset that Jacob, who her father had considered a lowlife, not only bested her at her hunt and had saved her life but now she also felt this thing for him.

Jacob saw through kliara, he knew just how shaken up and disappointed she was and dared not rub it to her face.

‘I had to do something if not it would all be over, she is still important to me’ Jacob thought to himself as he sensed the guilt and disappointment coming from her.

Back home, Williams was marvelled by the kill and praised Kliara on how almost ready she was to become a hunter.

“She was quite amazing” Jacob interrupted Kliara, joining Williams in praising her

He had overheard Williams and quickly stopped kliara who was about to tell Williams what had actually happened.

Kliara was shocked and confused at Jacob’s reply.

‘What is he trying to play at, does he think I need his pity?’ Kliara thought as she excuses herself.
