Chapter 81

For the next three weeks, all I did was train, force food down my throat and sleep. Callahan was a strict teacher and, though I knew it would be impossible for me to gain superhuman strength in such a short time, he did not cut me any slack.

Every morning I woke up at 5 am, ran to his gym where he kept pushing me until I could not move anymore and then made me exercise some more.

He was a maniac, but I was beginning to see the results. Callahan would always be waiting for me in the gym, wearing his shorts and a vest or loose t-shirt and we both fell into a routine of exercising.

At first, I hated him because he pushed me a lot, but when I began to see the changes in my body, I felt it was worth the effort.

The full moon was inching closer. All my bets were on becoming strong enough to awaken my wolf.

I was not sure if it would happen, but I had to try. And Callahan was always strictly professional when it came to my gym regime.

One such afternoon when I was lying on the gym floor, panting and sweating after having worked out for hours. He was not in the gym and I waited and waited for him to show up, but he was probably tired and just taking an extended nap.

I swear I never saw him mutter that he wished to sleep or just rest. He would either go to his meetings, poke his face in the

files or train.

That man worked like the world would end if he stopped, so it was natural that at some point he would feel a burnout.

And as much as I grumbled while training with him, his absence hurt me more than I wished to admit.

I had gotten used to our lessons together and would always look forward to seeing him. Somehow, seeing his face the first thing in the morning, even if he put me through hellish training, made my heart flutter.

My gaze flicked to the clock on the wall as I saw the time. It was almost time for lunch, and there was no sign of Callahan.

My gaze drifted to my phone, that was lying on the side. I never quite worked up the courage to start chatting with him.

I would always wonder what to text him and how to take the conversation ahead. Hence, I would only send him a one word reply whenever he texted me.

Which he hadn’t this time.
