That man had a knack for annoying her, that was for sure. ¿Why? Kalina didn't know for sure. She felt a little stupid about the discovery, but there was something else. Something attracted her to him, that was undeniable.

"She's so cool!" The livelier girl came forward again.
"Miss Aleena!" Reya warned, realizing that the little kru did not value her life. "I warned you that Asahis are extremely possessive… With all due respect, Asahi."
