Traded To The Lycan King by MG Wattsons

Chapter 101

Training has been awful. All six hours full of exhaustion and stupid skills that refuse to surface, no matter how hard I try! call them. Moving water it seems is easier when I don’t think about it. But with the constant demand for perfection, how 1 not think of it constantly?

I try to get in touch with the way the occan kisses my skin with every passing wave. To tap into the sea life that thrives in t very water I am trying to channel, yet the best I can muster is a rising spout that barely rises before it tumbles back into th

ocean.

“No,” Zale scoffs as he drops his head back, showcasing his annoyance. “Have you ever even tried to use your abilities

before?”

My annoyance flares at his rude attitude. He is clearly threatened by me, or just a jackass by nature. Either way, I am sick c being treated like an idiot who has zero skill when I know for a fact I have done things that even my father was shocked by

“Have you ever taught anyone before?” I snap back at him, cocking my head to the left as he presses his lips together in an unpleasant frown.

“No.” He bites out.

“Yeah, that much is clear.”

“Look, I was told to get you prepared as fast as possible, that you have the gift and it comes naturally, but all I am seeing from you are little spouts that my

kid can do better than you.” He says, lifting his hands in a shrug. “I can’t train someone who has zero talent.”

“What did I do to offend you?” I ask, shocked by how blunt he is with his dislike for me.

“You shouldn’t exist,” he says through clenched teeth.

“And yet I am here, and your king is asking you to do this.” I say simply.

He isn’t saying something that I haven’t heard over and over again. And family or not, I don’t know this asshole, just like he doesn’t know me. But that doesn’t excuse him, thinking he can speak to me in this way.

“Start again from the beginning.” He says, sighing heavily.

“And do what?” I ask him.

“Something! Anything more than what you are currently fucking doing!” He roars.

“Well, that is super helpful.” I groan, flipping my middle finger at him as he turns his back to me, placing his hands on his head. He whips around, his eyes filled with anger as I shrug. “Why didn’t you just say that before?”

He glides closer, his fishy lips twitching as he gets ready to go off on me again, so I tune him out, my eyes sliding closed as I reach out for the feel of the water within.
