Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 83

Zenovia

The next few days passed in a blur. I did not remember much of it except that I trained harder than ever. If Callahan was surprised by my hard work or tenacity, he did not comment.

I knew he would ask me to train harder and push myself, so I did exactly that. My entire body felt as if it was on fire, but I also felt restlessly alive.

Soon, it was the day of full moon. I could not contain my excitement. The morning seemed to stretch forever and even the clock seemed to tick agonizingly slow.

I could barely fall asleep and tossed and turned in the bed the whole night, waiting for the clock to hit the time I went down to the gym.

And when it did, I sprang up, quickly changed into gym clothes and was sprinting down the stairs in no time.

Today was an exciting day, and I wanted share my nervousness with Callahan. He had been training me almost the entire month and, though he was extremely strict, I began to feel positive on the inside and outside.

Maybe it was the fact that I had partially awakened my wolf that allowed me to attain such results, or maybe it was because he was merciless to me.

Either way, within a month, I saw a considerable transformation in myself. My body, that looked weak and fragile, now had a bit more muscle to it. My legs and arms looked well toned and my stomach was flat, not sticking inside to the bones.

Even my chest, that was too small, now had a definite growth. Overall I felt nice to see my reflection in the mirror, something I had not really cared about since I was always covered in dirt and soot back home.

I smiled at myself in the mirror and looked around to see Callahan. He had told me to share if I ever felt too tired or strained.

And today, of all days, was very important to me. I wanted to thank him for his grueling training.

But he was not around. Confused, I walked through the huge space, hoping to find him in some corner, but he was nowhere to be found.

I walked back to the gym entrance and tried to sense if I could hear his approaching footsteps, but there were none.

I felt a little dejected to not have him in the morning around me as usual. It had become a part of my routine.

Frowning, I turned away and went back to focus on my exercise for the day. He must have gotten some file to read or something, I told myself.

Besides, I technically lived in his home, so I would see him in some time either way.

Thus, I returned to the machines and began doing everything he had taught me to do. My eyes would occasionally glance back to the watch and the door, but he never showed up.

After working out so much that my body could not move anymore, I slumped on the floor and took a few ragged breaths to calm myself down.

I spent a few minutes catching my breath and then recalled I had his number. I quickly reached for my phone and opened
