Braeden left my room the next morning shortly after we enjoyed another round of s*x. I spent most of the morning wondering where he'd learned the things we had done the previous night and the following morning. But I was most curious as to when he learned such things because it seemed like we spent most of our free time together. He offered no information, and I asked for none in return though, that would certainly change the next time we were alone. I crossed the courtyard and stopped before entering the classroom building. There were still holes in the ground and cracks in the sidewalk from the fight with Challis. There was also a large dent in my ego from the fact I was helpless to defend people I'd been brought there to defend. Neither Headmaster Eliphas nor the instructors or other
