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
the
messenger.
I had never initiated a conversation, but it was not as if I could not do it.
My fingers tapped his name, and I thought of typing a message, but then wrote a few words and deleted them.

‘What should I message him?’ I wondered.
I could not ask him why he did not show up at the gym or where he was. I was his subject, not his girlfriend.
Fumbling with the phone, I thought of something and finally typed.
-Finished workout like usual just now-
That seemed okay to me. I was informing him that I did not miss out on training even if he wasn’t around.
So I hit the send button and nervously waited for a while. Usually, he would send a reply in a few minutes, but today there
was none.

He must be busy. I tried to console myself and headed back to my room. I didn’t even feel like eating but then recalled Maria
might know something.
So I turned around and went back to the kitchen to see her working as usual.
“Hey Maria, what’s up?”
She wayed her hand at me. “Busy. There is going to be some meeting tonight with a few alphas of the most important packs.
There might also be some more events. So preparing like usual”
“Oh I mumbled.
So the entire day, he was going to be busy. I thought I would have him beside me when the full moon showed up... for moral
support.
Guess not.
I left Maria to her work and slowly walked back to my room. Even if he was not around, I would simply do it on my own. In fact, it
was good that he would be busy. In the worst case that I did not awaken my wolf again, I would be embarrassed. It was better
this way; I told myself and spent the rest of the day looking at a few videos on my phone that he had asked me to check while we
did a workout.
I looked at them absent mindedly and then thought of searching for his name on the internet to check if there was anything. But
there was nothing.
It was as if he did not even exist.
I scratched my chin at that. There was not even a photo of him anywhere, nor a mention. He was a ghost.
Why would he hide from everyone? I wondered, but then recalled even I was nowhere to be found on the internet.
Maybe he did not like making everything public about him. I dismissed his thoughts and went back to seeing training and,
workout videos.
While watching them, my eyes began to shut down, and I fell asleep.
A few hours later, there was a knock on the door, waking me up from my sleep.

I turned on the side, pulling the pillows close to my ears, but the door flew open the next minute.
“Girl, get up and
get
dressed. You are required to be present at the meeting.”
Maria’s voice reached my ears, but I was too sleepy to care.
“Go away, Maria.”
I could feel her glaring at me with her hands on her hips. “The Lycan King Callahan asked me to get you dressed and ready, -so-
you-better get up or I will throw a bucket of cold water on you.”
What?

I sprang up at the mention of his name..
My hair was flying in all directions, and I could only stare stupidly at her.
Maria was quite satisfied with the threat.
“Me?”
She nodded, “Yes, you. There is no other Zenovia in the pack, is there?”
I croaked while rubbing the sleep off my eyes, “But why?”
Instead of answering, she walked towards me and pulled me into a sitting position as she saw me slumping down again.
“You have stirred a lot of gossip amongst all the packs.”
“Why is that?”
She pulled me away from the bed and made me stand, as she feared I would go to bed again.
“I am not sure, but I believe everybody wants to know who is the girl that the Lycan King took in. You are a first”
I grumbled, not liking the fact that they wanted to see me put on display.

“They already saw me at the ball.”
Maria shook her head and dragged me to the bathroom. “Go wash your face first”
She answered while I scrubbed my face clean and tried to get rid of the sleep.
“You were hiding in a corner for the entire night. You danced with the King, I heard, but most of the alphas and betas had left to
find their mates by then amongst those available. Barely a few were around the dance floor.”
“Why is that my fault?” I bickered, but she shook her head again.
“Ask the King when you see him. Now come back here. I have work to do.”
She said while handing me a towel and walking towards the wardrobe.
“Hmm, it’s been a while since I helped anybody get dressed. My specialities lie in the kitchen, not in dressing up and makeup.”
I patted my face dry and muttered, “It is okay. I will not be there for long either way. I can wear a simple gown and just dab some
powder and I am good to go.”
I offered, but Maria shook her head.
“You have no idea how important pack meetings are. Only the betas and gammas get to attend them along with the alphas. And
everybody follows a dress code when attending such meetings. Do you want to embarrass the King in front of the others?”
She asked, and I shook my head.
I had already heard Cynthia lament of how I was embarrassing the King by being a weakling.
So I did not want to give anybody a reason to think of me as weak.
“Ok fine. But don’t stress yourself so much. I will not walk into the meeting looking like a clown.”
“If only there was Drusilla here. She is an expert in makeup and can make you look like a stunning diva.”
I laughed, “She has other things to do then helping me get ready. Don’t you think?”
But then I heard a voice, “Not really”

I turned to look at Drusilla standing near the door. She was wearing a formal dress, black trousers, a cream colored crop top and
big, round earrings.
Her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she looked stunning.
“Hey Drusilla” I waved at her and she walked in with a smile.
“I was running towards Cal’s office, but I heard my name, so I stopped.”
Maria looked at Drusilla with relief, “Thank the Goddess you are here. I can’t tell a stocking from a sock, so I will leave her in your
able hands and return to my kitchen duties. See you”
Drusilla looked at me with a tinge of excitement.
“Let’s get started then. The meeting should start in some time.”
And then she leaned in and whispered, “Plus, today is the full moon, so I hope after tonight things really change for you and
Callahan..
