An hour later…
"Hey!" Zoey called, approaching Ivan who was watching Matthew's men do their training in the training grounds. Ivan only glanced at her but didn't say anything as he returned his eyes back to the men he was watching.
"I don't know your plans with them but one can't have two masters at the same time." When he sensed Zoey's presence in his side, Ivan muttered in a matter-of-fact tone. "Niko will be dissatisfied." He added, still not glancing at her even upon the mention of Nikolai's name.
"I'm not asking you to swear an oath to him." She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "All I'm asking is you joining their training so you can 'protect' me properly." Zoey stressed the key word of her excuse as she turned her head to the men he was watching.
"As if I'll buy that crap."
