Chapter 44

“If you want I can clear the misunderstanding King Callahan has about you. It was I who kept you busy with my silly stuff

I spoke but Elijah shook his head.

“There is no need for that, really. It is okay. I know Cal thinks good about me so he has the right to be angry with me.”

“Are you sure?” I asked and Elijah nodded, “Yeah, you are getting too worked up.”

I did not want to talk further about him so I only replied, “About my failed transformation, can you help me a bit?"

I asked in a sincere voice and Elijah’s face immediately brightened.

"What about it?"

I bit my lip nervously, “Uh, the way we raced together today. I feel if somebody would guide me to train and to strengthen my body, I will be better at handling the next shifting.”

“Ahh, so that is why you were running around in the dark of the night?” He asked and I did a fake grumble.

“Hey, I did not run in the middle of the night, okay? I was just unsure of what to do next" I replied and he chuckled.

“Yes. I will definitely help you with your training. Our pack has many pups who have recently shifted. Your shifting was quite unexpected, to be honest”

I nervously chewed on my lip. “Yes, I am also not sure how that happened. But I want to be prepared for the next full moon. So, I have one month to train myself”

Elijah placed a hand on my shoulder, “Don’t be too harsh on yourself. There is a full moon every month."

He tried to cheer me up but then I muttered under my breath, “The sooner I learn how to be a wolf, the better, I do not want to get yelled at for nothing”

“Oh come on, I know him. He is a nice guy.”

I snorted, “Nice, really?”

Elijah replied, “Don't you think so? He gave you a separate room, and asked the best doctors to care for you. Even helped you when you were alone in the forest."

“Only because he needs me for this anchor stuff that none of you are telling me more about," I said and before he could say another word. I heard a voice.

“Ouch, can you not stand in the middle of the door?”

I looked behind Elijah to see Drusilla rubbing her forehead and glaring at Callahan who merely shrugged at her.

When had he even arrived? I wondered while he replied, “If you look up instead of your phone while walking, you will see that you walked into a wall, not the door”

Drusilla rolled her eyes at him and looked at Elijah and me. “Hey, guys.

Both of us waved at her and she came to talk to us, leaving Callahan standing by the door. He raised an eyebrow but did not say anything.

She came towards Elijah and said, “El, can you give me the number of that car washing center? I wanted them to pick my car up but I lost contact”

Elijah immediately pulled out his phone and sent her a text message with the number while I only watched.

“Hey, what about you?" He suddenly asked.

“Me? I dont have a car to wash” I answered and he booped my nose playfully.

Your mobile. Don't you have one?”

I shook my head. “I was never allowed to have one."

Drusilla’ eyes went wide, “Allowed? Why do you need anybody's permission to have a mobile?”

I shrugged, “I was an omega so I was not allowed many perks."

Drusilla came near me and placed her hands on my back as if embracing me. “That is nonsense. Wait, how about this? Let me buy you one”

I shook my head, “No. I dont see the need to have one. I lived without a phone so far either way?

But she was persistent.

Chapter 44

“No, it is not okay. We need to stay in touch with you and having a mobile in these modern times is a necessity."

Drusilla suddenly came up with an idea, “Cal, can we take her along with us?"

Callahan was busy doing something on his phone but looked up when she mentioned me.

And it was then that he finally looked at me. It had only been a day that he had not looked me in the eye but it felt like it had been years.

His golden eyes looked into mine and a lot of emotions erupted within me at once. But his gaze did not stay on me for long- He looked away just after a second and I felt all my hopes and feelings crumble.

Why did I suddenly feel him to be an important part of my life?

“No, it should be only us, you know that." He said and his blunt rejection hurt me a little.

Drusilla placed a hand beneath my chin, “Oh come on. Look at the poor girl. She just had her first shift. I can send her important stuff directly without having to come meet her in person every time." “What important stuff?” I asked and Drusilla only mumbled, “I mean, girl stuff, you know"

Callahan shrugged and walked outside the door, “If you are not coming, I will go alone

“Wait” Drusilla said and dragged me along with her.

Callahan had climbed down the front steps of the porch while Drusilla dragged me and said in a loud voice

“She is coming with us. I just asked the car guy to pick up my car from here. I don't have a car to take her to a shop now."

Callahan pinched the bridge of his nose, “Then get her the phone tomorrow. What is the big deal about it?"

I felt very bad with the way Callahan was suddenly treating me and I tried to speak to Drusilla. “There is no need for it, Dru. You can go to your meeting. I told you I don't need a phone” Meanwhile, Elijah who was silent all this time, came up with an idea.

“Hey, I have an idea. I can take her to a shop with me and get her a mobile and a sim card. You guys can go to your meeting wherever that is."

Drusilla perked up at that. “Oh, that is great. Well, then that is settled

But Callahan suddenly interjected, “El, I had asked you to do something.”

Elijah nodded his head vigorously, “I know, King. The task will be completed today itself and then I will take Zen outside.” Elijah suggested but apparently Callahan did not seem happy. At that same moment, Drusilla’s phone beeped and she

checked it.

“Oh shoot. I totally forgot I had to go to the parlor today. I had booked in advance.”

Callahan rolled his eyes, “You cannot be serious now, Dru. This meeting is important.”

Drusilla quickly typed something on her mobile and was done.

“See. I just messaged them to change the meeting to a later date. They agreed too.

Callahan was apparently done with their stupid behavior so he just muttered.

“You know what? I will go to my office and get that file completed.”

He had begun walking outside but Drusilla stopped in front of him.

“No, you are not going in. Just work work all day. Go outside, step in the sun a little."

Callahan smirked, “What am 1? A vampire?”

Drusilla rolled her eyes, “You know what? I will get Elijah to drop me to the parlor while you go get the mobile for Zenovia." “What?” I blurted out and then quickly bit my lip but apparently the shock and unwillingness were evident in my voice. “Yes, she is going to help you. I noticed how you both are not even talking to each other from the past half an hour that we

four are with each other”

King Callahan did not reply but he simply climbed up the stairs and went in through the door.

“Cal, please. You know why I am doing this."

Callahan dropped his shoulders and looked at her miserably. “I really don't see the need for this, Dru And the way he was showing his discomfort and absolute disinterest in doing anything for me was irking me,

“Drusilla, I do not need anything. I will go to my room and get some sleep” I said because I did not want to hear Callahan keep Boding reasons to not be around me any longer.

Chapter 44

It was hurting me and I had no clue what I had done for him to suddenly be so aloof

Even Elijah turned around with me and we both entered the mansion. I said, “We can discuss my training regime dfter you finish your work. I need some guidance”

Elijah nodded his head and replied, “Give me two hours. I will also detail a diet plan for you and create a training schedule for you.”

I smiled in delight. “You are the best"

From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Drusilla had walked in too and she began chatting with Elijah. He looked at me with a soft smile and mouthed “No problem before heading in the opposite direction with her.

And, I decided to head towards my room but then a voice called out to me.

“Stop”

I turned around to see Callahan glaring at me. “Get inside the car. Now!”
