Chapter 72

From the hallway that opened up to the front yard, I saw Callahan walking forward. He was on the

phone, talking to someone, and was oblivious to my presence.

I simply kept looking at him as he strode forward with a relaxed posture. His hair looked wet, and he

was roaming his hands through those soft, silky strands while taking slow strides.

But that was not what had me gawking at him. He was also in gym wear and goodness did he look fine.

The white t-shirt perfectly covered his broad chest and seemed like it was tailor made to fit his body.

And those black gym shorts showed just how perfectly sculpted his entire body was

Did this guy ever overindulge in eating? How could someone look like they spent all their day working

in the office, yet look as if they had been sweating tirelessly in the gym?

Callahan disconnected the call and slipped the phone into his pockets as he reached the door. I was

standing a little to the side.

All this time, Cynthia was talking excitedly with Elijah, who responded kindly to her.

I doubted Elijah would ever be rude to anyone. He was always sweet and caring, just like my mother.

He was a nice person to hang around with.

Callahan walked down the small flight of stairs, and Elijah bowed to him almost instinctively.

“Good morning, King”

Cynthia perked up upon seeing Callahan and she, too, immediately bowed.

“Good morning, King”

I noticed that she bowed a bit too low for Callahan, giving him a nice view of her bosom that threatened

to spill out of her sports bra.

Callahan smiled at them both and replied, “No need to be so formal”

Elijah smiled in return, but Cynthia immediately sprang up towards him, taking his words to heart.

She went near him and began talking to him softly, blushing a little.

Elijah got busy on his phone while the two talked, and I saw the way Callahan did not step aside from

her.

She was whispering slowly and even reached for his hair to brush off the few drops of water trickling

down his face.

Cynthia seemed too confident of her marriage with Callahan now that she sensed I was very weak,

both physically and mentally.

Not that I cared.

She could have him forever. Elijah had gotten a call, so he was busy talking to someone when she said

her earlier lines of her marriage with Callahan.

I was not sure if he heard it, but I simply decided to continue with training. I would not sit here and

watch the two lovebirds indulging in their PDA.

Thus, I cleared my throat and walked towards Elijah. “Hey, I think you are going to be busy. So I think

we can work out

tomorrow.”

Elijah looked up at me and gave me a small smile. “Yes, I am sorry. I have to finish some tasks and

also go round to the pack house.”

for my

usual

I nodded my head. “I understand.”

Elijah showed me his phone. “You have my number. Feel free to call me or message me if you need

anything.”

“Sure”

I said and went back to collect my bottle and towel from the side. And when I looked up, my gaze met

that of Callahan.

His golden eyes were staring at me and I felt as if I was trapped in his gaze. Those eyes shimmered

lightly, the sun’s rays falling on the golden specks and making his eyes look even more mesmerizing.

The way he was standing, his eyes did not look purely golden but more of a dark shade of brown with

golden flecks in it.

It made him look even more ethereal and half of my mind wanted to inspect those eyes from up close,

catch the way the sun reflected on those honey pools and soak in their warmth.

But after I got over the fact that he was looking at me, I noticed a bit too late that his gaze did not hold

any warmth or

Chapter 72 affection.

It was cold, distant and remote, just like him. Maybe he was not happy that I had not greeted him.

So I gave a short bow and greeted him “Good morning, your highness”

Callahan did not respond, but neither did he look away. His gaze was unnerving, and I promptly began

walking away, not wanting to be around if he was still being rude.

I had only taken a few steps forward when Cynthia suddenly remembered that I existed. She called out

my name shortly.

“Hey Zenovia, we are not done yet.”

My back was facing her, so thankfully I got the chance to roll my eyes at the grass instead of her and

turn around with a

confused face.

“I think it was enough for the first day. See you again” I tried cutting the chatter and was about to step

forward when she added,

“No, we barely started. Come on, it will be fun. Now, we also have the Lycan King with us.”

That was the exact reason I did not want to be around.

I let out a frustrated groan and faked that I was tired.

“I am sure you guys will have a lot of fun. But I am really feeling exhausted. Plus, Elijah will be training

with me regularly, so I am fine.”

1 gave her a smile and decided to leave before she found any more reasons to make me stay. I did not

wait for her reply, and she only muttered, “Okay” before turning to face Callahan.

1 had not bothered to look at him, but I could feel his eyes on my back as I left. They could train with

each other all they wanted. I wasn’t going to stay around and watch them.

But when I did manage to run towards the door. I heard a voice, “If you want to awaken your wolf, you

have to train a lot more.”

It was the voice of Callahan. Okay, so now he wanted to talk to me?

Why was he acting so weird?

I turned to look at him and had an angry retort on my mind, but knew better than to argue with him.

“I understand, but I will do some light exercise later if I feel like it, your majesty” I purposely stressed on

the last two words and saw the way he reacted.

A muscle in his jaw ticked, telling me it irked him.

“Get her to train. I don’t want any weaklings in my pack,” He ordered Cynthia, who promptly came

running towards me.

She grabbed my hand and whispered. “I told you he doesn’t like lazy people”

Had she just called me lazy? I worked like a slave all day in my pack and barely survived on crumbs,

yet never failed to perform my duties.

The lack of a proper diet had left me weak, not my laziness. Callahan walked away and headed

towards the inside of his mansion while Cynthia began dragging me to wherever they were going.

Callahan soon entered a huge, spacious room that I found out to be a gym.

“Ooh, are we going to train here today, King?” Cynthia asked excitedly.

Callahan looked at her and replied, “Yes, if people can keep up with me.”

I felt somehow that the snide remark was for me. Cynthia suppressed a chuckle at the way he was

behaving and then urged. me to get going.

But I was too busy staring at the huge place. It seemed never ending. There were machines and

equipment, all looking shiny and brand new, while a soft carpet covered the gigantic space.

There was a floor length mirror on one of the walls that ran along the length of it and a separate section

in a corner was where all the dumbbells and other accessories were kept.

“This is Callahan’s personal training space. You better start moving”

She whispered, but I clearly did not feel her excitement. He was the King so wasn’t he supposed to

have all the luxuries? What was so special about it?

I looked around, spotted a treadmill, and hopped on it.
