Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 47

Zenovia

I loved the wilderness, and walking had been a part of my daily routine. I would often take the longest route from school to the packhouse so that I could admire the surroundings, the nature and it also kept me away from Sid and his friends for a longer time.

But now, while walking with Callahan, I felt odd. Callahan maintained a distance from me, but my legs had already begun to

hurt.

I had run a lot in the morning, and I had not rested even for a second before Callahan had dragged me outside.

So my muscles were aching, but I did not dare say a word to him. My legs felt as if they were on fire, but I kept walking with him.

I winced a little when my foot hit a rock as I was looking elsewhere and a hot bolt of pain shot up my leg.

But I suppressed it and kept walking with him. However, his pace was too much for me to handle. His long legs took bigger strides, and I had to literally run instead of walking to keep up with him.

And the fact that I had stabbed my toe against the rock and my legs were hurting was putting me at a gross disadvantage.

Callahan kept pacing forward, and I tried running with him, but my legs could not keep up anymore and I stumbled against a rock, my body crashing against a tree.

“Ahh”

I went down with a thud and it was then that he looked behind. I tried not to scream as I gripped my left leg to free my foot that had gotten stuck

Callahan shook his head dismissively and got near me. His large hands sunk into the ground at once and he pulled out the big rocks in an instant.

I fell to the ground as I tried not to cry.

My leg was bruised and battered, and I probably had broken my ankle.

Callahan looked at my leg and muttered, “Looks like you cannot walk now

I fought the pain shooting up my leg and answered, “You…you can go. I will come slowly.”

Callahan did not speak a word, but bent down and picked me up in an instant. I shuddered at his touch, but he only picked me up like I weighed nothing and began walking ahead.

I wanted to protest, but I knew I could not walk in such a condition.

So I let him carry me as we headed towards his mansion. Despite not wanting to, I nuzzled against his chest as my bones suddenly snapped.

I tried to bite into my lips hard, but it did not help me.

“Argh” I let out a scream and Callahan immediately asked. “What is the matter?”.

I could not answer as white hot pain shot up my leg. I felt as if my ankle was being twisted and my bones breaking inside of my leg.
