Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 82

Zenovia

I gulped nervously.

There was no point in hiding anymore, so I slowly stepped out of my hiding spot. Callahan’s gaze was intense, and I saw the way he looked up at me from head to toe.

Maybe he was checking if I had skipped a workout because he was not around. My clothes and the hair plastered to my temples should be enough proof that I had diligently worked out even if he was not around.

Elijah waved at me upon seeing me, while Matt only gave an acknowledging nod. Callahan’s gamma and beta were the exact opposites.

Matt just felt like a mini version of Callahan sometimes.

Callahan looked at the two soldiers and said, “People don’t believe I play fair, and I can tackle the two of you simultaneously. So, go change, we are going to have a little spar.”

My eyes went wide at those words. He had not taken my name, but I knew it was directed at me.

“Who is mad enough to say that?” Matt asked, but Callahan shrugged.

“People think it is easy to become a King and rule a kingdom. Sometimes you have to answer those doubts. Are you ready for a spar?”

He asked them both.

This was a silly act. If his pride was hurt by my words, he could have just snapped at me like he always did.

Why did he have to put up a show? Especially with all the pack members around. Elder Lina would simply tear me apart if she learned I was the reason her lunch had been delayed.

“Uh, but we have the entire pack in the garden. They expect lunch to be served soon, King” Elijah tried to reason, but Callahan shook his head.

“The fight won’t last long either way. Let’s go outside”

He said without looking at me and stepped out of the main door and climbed down the short flight of stairs.

Elijah and Matt-only looked at each other but did not say anything. They just went upstairs to keep the file in the office, as it was something important.

That left me staring at the broad back of Callahan. Seeing that there was nobody around, I went near him and murmured,

“Uh,

you don’t have to do this. I was just annoyed when I said that.”

But Callahan only rolled up his sleeves.
