Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 113

Zenovia

Callahan wiped his hand on the back of his trousers when he saw my gaze land on his knuckles.

I peered at him intently and, sure enough, he did look a bit more haggard and worked up. He was still in his work clothes, his full sleeves rolled up and the top two buttons of his shirt open. His hair was tousled, and I^ imagined how many times he must have raked his hands through them. He had a habit of doing that whenever he was annoyed or worked up.

But the injury was new. Even my injuries, despite being a newly awakened werewolf, had healed pretty easily. There were just a few scars left.

So it was a wonder that his knuckles still looked a bit bloodied.

Callahan noticed the way I was thinking about it and cleared his throat. “I asked, what is it that you want?”

I looked at his face and tried to speak. “Would you really give it to me?” Callahan shrugged. “Depends on what you ask.”

I added, “The trials only say that you are allowed to ask something to the Lycan King directly. There is no mention of whether the King would really give whatever is asked.”

He gave me a small smile. “Were you always this intelligent or this Thunder working her magic?”

Thunder let out a whoop in my head the moment she heard him call her smart. But I asked her to rest or that I would make us train harder again.

tomorrow.

She was in no mood for that, so she thankfully went quiet.

“That is not the answer, your majesty,” I replied, and he debated what to say in response. I shook my head and slowly tried to get up on my feet. Thunder could heal my wounds to an extent, but exhaustion was not something she could make disappear right now.

I gingerly moved my legs to the bedside and slowly tried placing my feet on the hospital floor. It was cold, and I felt an involuntary shudder creep up my spine the moment my skin came in touch with the cold floor.

“You are not strong yet,” Callahan said, but I still tried to put some weight on my feet. And the moment I let go of the bed for support, I swayed a little.

Callahan was quick to rush towards me and break my fall.

“If you want me to just be near you, say that directly,” He scoffed, and I pushed my hair away from my eyes while he plopped me back on the bed.
