Chapter 22

Zenovia

“Oh please, it will be fun. Let us have some fun. We have to go to the human city for partying and enjoyment every time.” Another flare of jealousy shot up in my heart at the way she was casually holding his hand and standing so close to him. Her breasts were almost brushing his chest, and she was looking at him with a lot of expectations. Callahan did not appear to mind her being so close, either.

Maybe they had been really making out before I smashed the coffee cup to ruin their moment.

I looked away and reminded myself that I had no right to feel the way I was feeling. He was the Lycan King, had not yet. found his fated or chosen mate, so he was free to do whatever he wanted.

Callahan slowly pulled his hand away and replied, “We will see Cynthia. Now, I have a few more meetings to attend.”

She frowned a little, but quickly put up a cheerful smile. “Sure. But you work a lot. Remember to take some rest too, okay?”

Callahan nodded as she stepped away from him and spoke, “Call me when you are free”

He only smiled, and she took one more step away, but her feet fell on one of the broken chips of the cup and she slipped. Cynthia would have fallen on the floor if Callahan would not have caught her right away. His hands slunk around her waist, and she gave a startled cry.

“Oh sorry, I did not see that”

Callahan smiled and helped her straighten up. “No problem”

She let her hand linger on his shoulder as he pulled her up and her ankle somehow twisted and she slipped again.

“Oops,” Cynthia gave a nervous smile and Callahan gripped her once again. They collided on the wall behind them and her body smacked on the King’s as she pushed her hair back.

“This is so embarrassing. I am truly sorry” Cynthia mumbled, her hand trailing from his shoulder to his palm as he slowly made her stand on his feet again.

“Maybe you need some sleep”

Cynthia chuckled, “I think so”

I rolled my eyes at the scene and could not help but notice Cynthia’s reluctance to let go of Callahan.

But she could not linger around longer and looked down so as to not step on the spilled cup again.

Cynthia said and walked inside the office to grab her purse. She stepped out only a moment later and stopped to whisper, “See you soon” and walked away.

I only blinked at the way she was swaying her hips while walking away from him, her hair bouncing in the air.
