Selene

As Azriel walked towards me, wearing just a vest and shorts, I could see the drowsiness in his hazy eyes. "You slept like this?" he asked, raising an eyebrow when he noticed my undressed state.

"No," I replied, feeling a hint of self-consciousness but also trying to be nonchalant. "I washed up last night and ended up passing out in my undergarments. Guess I was just too lazy to put on more clothes."

"We overslept. It's already noon," he informed me while sitting on my bed and rubbing his eyes, the weariness of sleep evident in his voice.

"No training today?" I quipped, trying to lighten the atmosphere with a playful tone.

Azriel shrugged, a half-smile forming on his lips. "Guess not. We can take a day off. It won't hurt."

"Okay!" I smiled brightly and stood up from the bed, and soon as I took a step ahead, pain shot through my vagina, making me clutch the bedsheet.
