Found by the Lycan King by Natalie Winter

Chapter 71

I turned around to see Cynthia walking towards us. She was in training gear too but unlike me who had almost every inch of her body covered, she strutted forward wearing a sports bra and tight fitted shorts that left little to the imagination.

Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she came walking towards us with an air of superiority.

Elijah gave her a small smile and Cynthia came near him. She took the watch from him and looked at the timer on the stopwatch.

“Hmm, she could certainly do better” Cynthia mumbled and I saw the way she placed a hand on Elijah’s shoulder, leaning

on him

Elijah replied, “Good morning. I did not know you were around.”

Cynthia gave him a sweet smile. “I did not know I was going to be here either. But you know how the King is. He wanted to discuss a few more clauses and needed me. So here I am”

I noticed the way she emphasized on the words ‘needed me’ and tried to ignore the dread settling in me.

I had to focus on strengthening myself and making it easy for me to shift and meet my wolf soon.

Thus, I only looked at Elijah and asked, “What should I do next?”

Elijah had opened his mouth to reply but Cynthia answered, “Hey, how about this? We can train together. I could also teach you some shLIE”

I wanted to say “No thanks” but I would look rude if she was acting nice.

Elijah too added, “Oh that will be a great idea”

Cynthia slapped his shoulder playfully and added, “Now that’s what I am talking about.”

I wondered what had gotten into her to suddenly want to spend time with me. Would she not want to wag her tail in front of Callahan?

I asked hesitantly. “That is great. I thought you said you had to work with the lycan King on something?”

I offered her a small smile while trying to figure out what was going on in her head

She flicked her hair, the ponytail swaying in the air as she replied, “Oh yes. But he had some other work to do first, probably visiting the pack. Then we would be having all day to discuss whatever we wanted.”

Her eyes twinkled with excitement and I tried not to show how it affected me. Elijah clapped his hands together and replied, “So, ladies, want to race a little? Though this should be a friendly race. I will time you both.”

Cynthia came to stand beside me and slapped my shoulder playfully. Though in my case, she was a bit too harsh in my opinion. But I did not comment on it.

“Great, let me warm up a little”
