Chapter 0453 ZADE.
“Survival training.” “Survival?” Valerie asksas she rubs her arms, glancing at the dark looming forest behind 1. me.
“Yeah, this will last three or four hours. The first thing | want to work on with stamina, resistance, vigilance, and observance.” you is your She nods, although I'm sure this won't be as easy as she thinks it might be. “You can choose three things from this sack to help you. Aside from that, you will have to find things in the forest too. Choose wisely.” We had woken up early to get started on our training session, and | now watch as she kneels down and quickly begins rummaging through the bag, picking out a small thin weapon, smart since it'll be easier to carry whereas the gun could run out of bullets... poison, and antidote.
She’s smart, but she missed out on one very vital item... scent disguiser...

“Alright... I'll start off easy,” | say, looking down at Valerie. She is wearing black yoga pants with a black zipped- up hoodie. The sun isn’t out, it’s still dark and there's a very light shower of rain. But I’m not going to let the opportunity of using these incredible terrains for training slip by.
I'll go easy on her since it's her first day and if she is pregnant... then | don’t want to end up doing anything extreme.
“Ok, I'm ready.” “No, you're not. You haven't done your stretches. We'll start with a simple gof chase. | want you to run, as fast as you can as if it’s for your survival: Run until-" “Until | can no longer run?” she asks me, cocking a brow.
| tilt my head, looking at her emotionlessly as | walk up to her. “Then you're dead. | was going to say run until your feet bleed, run and keep running even if it feels like you can’t, keep going.
If you can’t run, then crawl. If you can crawl, roll. No matter what, you don’t stop until you're. dead.” | circle her slowly, knowing she won't be able to keep up with this training, but | want to push past her barriers.
“That's disturbing,” she laughs nervously as she looksover. I'm wearing black sweatpants and a hoodie and | cock a brow when she gulps.
“You haven't seen disturbing. But | assure you, baby girl when | am done with you, you won't be afraid to walk alone. Anywhere.” "CL “That sounds promising.” She smiles.
“From here on out, your aim is to make sure | don’t catch you. I'm not your Zade during +15 BONUS training. I'm someone who wants your blood.” My voice becomes low, my aura flaring, making her eyes widen at my words, but | want her to feel fear, want her to use her adrenaline and her instincts to the max. “Run.” “What?” she asks “I haven't warmed-* | spin the dagger in my hand, my eye flashing, and she gulps, “Shit | lost my chance, ok I'm going!” she backs away before she turns and begins running.
“Ten... nine...” | begin counting down as she disappears into the trees. The moment | say ‘one ‘, | give chase, pocketing my knife and taking out my gun instead.

“I can smell you, Little Mate...” | whisper into the trees, inhaling deeply, knowing she’s close. Her shaky muffled breaths, her little gasps and the sound of her heart are like music as | hunt her.
Suddenly, I glance to the right. “Remember, you do not wantto find you... because every t| do, it will mean that’s how many times | could have killed you.
11 She’s backing away and | let out a low growl, making her gasp, and | hear her fall. That's when | decide to end it.
I've given her plenty of time. | follow the sound and see her try to edge away. Silently, | slip around the tree, sneaking up behind her and wrap my hand around her neck.
She screams, trying to pushaway, and | press the barrel of my gun against the side of her forehead, making her freeze.
“And this is the part you would drop dead,” | whisper, making her shiver. There's something about her heart pounding with fear that amusesa little. | kiss her cheek slowly, making her tense. What's wrong? Are you scared?”
