Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 103

Zenovia

I had barely managed to lift the spoon when Elijah’s question made me look up at him with wide eyes.

Cynthia too tilted her head, apparently interested in my answer

“Uh, not much really. It was just like the usual.” I mumbled, trying to focus on the soup.

Elijah did not seem convinced.

“Come on, there must have been something different. I missed being around you for your first shift. At least, tell me your experience and how you felt.”

For the first time in my life, I hoped Elijah would stop talking to me. I tried to force some food down my throat and thought of an answer.

“Uh, the alphas and betas were all in a big meeting yesterday so Drusilla helped me get dressed. Then I shortly joined the meeting and left to get some open air.”

I answered and forced some more food down my throat.

“That’s it. You just went outside and suddenly turned into your wolf?” Elijah asked and I had the urge to just poke him with my fork.

I did not dare look at Callahan who was staring at the two of us with an amused expression.

Cynthia tried to divert his attention from us.

“I am sorry I took so much of your time. I think you should get some rest. You look tired.”

She said and Calahan merely grunted. He was busy chewing on the piece of meat. “No, I…struggled a bit to be honest. For some time, I felt I would not awaken my wolf today.”

Elijah smiled, “Happens. Though it was good that you had the King around you, right?”

I hastily put a small piece of meat in my mouth to keep myself from answering directly.

“Yeah.” I managed to answer.

…

“Callahan really goes a long way to ensure that first time shifters have it easy. I am sure he made you comfortable.”

Oh, you have no idea, El.

I nodded, feeling that I did not have the mental capacity to form words.

Elijah seemed oblivious to my plight. And from the corner of my eye, I definitely saw a hint of a smirk return on somebody’s face. The King seemed to enjoy seeing me squirm and struggle to explain everything.

Grrrrr.

“Y-yes” I managed.

I hoped now he was done with the interrogation but apparently not. Cynthia too wanted to know more about it.

So she jumped in, “So, were you able to shift completely in the first attempt? Or did you require more time?”
