Found by the Lycan King

Chapter 97

Zenovia

“Huh, what?” I muttered or tried to as I felt something or maybe everything shift inside of me instantly.

There was fur all over my body and I grew larger. I was now on all fours and I felt too disoriented with the changes occurring inside of me.

The clouds above were crackling with thunder and I saw them all gather above us, hiding the stars and the moon.

I felt an energy bubble inside of me, raw and carnal. I felt my bones elongate a bit more and snap in place while my vision grew sharper.

The information overload was too much to bear. I tried to shake my head and saw a long snout in front of me. I had four paws now, strong and lethal.

And when I opened my mouth, a loud, deafening growl left my lungs.

It was as if I was reborn again. Reborn as Thunder, my wolf.

Words failed me to describe the feeling I was going through. It was exhilarating, and liberating.

I lowered my head and tried to get a good understanding of the surroundings around me. My head snapped to the right when I heard a faint rustling of leaves.

I peered at the thick foliage of leaves, high up in one of the trees a few feet away from me, and noticed a bird sitting on it.

My gaze focused on it and even from this distance, I could see its varying colors of feathers-black, blue, and purple.

Its feathers glinted when it rustled in the wind and took off. The wind was blowing softly, just like the water lapping at us in the lake.

“Zenovia” I heard Callahan call out my name cautiously.

My head flicked to his face and it was as if I saw him with a new clarity. Every sharp feature of his stood out to me much more prominently.

I saw the way his eyes crinkled when he smiled at me, the fine lines disappearing in the sides and the light stubble dusted on his jawline though he was a few feet away from mè.

But the most prominent feature of his was his eyes. I could see a thousand shades of golden and honey, each and every speck highlighted in those orbs. They literally looked like liquid gold mixed with honey.

“Aww, you can’t stop staring at him with those puppy eyes, can you?” My wolf, Thunder, spoke to me in my head.

“I thought it was you who was staring at him” I teased and she blinked in surprise.

Callahan was sitting on his knees and tried reaching for us, for me. Thunder did not want to budge at first.

He saw the way Thunder was hesitating and looked us in the eye. A warm, welcoming smile appeared on his lips.

“Welcome to this world and welcome to my pack. Though there are not other members here but know that every member of my pack is valued and treasured. You would feel no different”

He said, tipping his head a little.

Did he just bow to us? Well, it was not a proper bow but he did lower his head ever so slightly.

Thunder had been staring at him smugly but then I nudged her, “He is the Lycan King, and as he said we are a member of his pack. Don’t be so rude.”

Thunder rolled her eyes at me and repeated, “Are you saying that just because he is handsome? He definitely is a looker. And bare chested…mmmm”

“Thunder!!” I warned her as she teased me.

Looking at him through her eyes was certainly rewarding. His torso was nothing short of a work of art. Every muscle rippled with strength whenever he moved and a hard six pack donned his abdomen.

If seeing him with my human eyes was a treat, seeing him through Thunder’s eyes was nothing short of a true delight.

The way his hands moved and the way his hair flitted in the soft breeze, everything about him was picture perfect.

I tried not to sigh at that beauty of a man and nudged Thunder again, “He is waiting. He is our King, Thunder. Show some respect!” Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

She gave me a smug look and slowly stepped forward, letting her head come close to Callahan’s outstretched hand.

He slowly and carefully brushed his hand over the fur and I felt a bolt of electricity jostle me. His touch was gentle but due to Thunder’s heightened perception, I felt his skin caress not the fur but my very soul.

Goddess, why was I so attracted to this man?

Thunder slowly nuzzled against his chest and he ruffled through her fur, patting her head lightly.

And I was not mistaken that she would like it when he stroked her fur. I felt her melt at the touch and push her head on his chest, demanding more pats.

Callahan chuckled and scratched her fur a bit more making her whimper.

“Mmm…right there” She spoke in my head as he rubbed her head and I tried not to chuckle. She had been all smug and mighty just a moment ago and now she was being just a regular wolf.

Thunder then opened her maw and began licking Callahan who closed his eyes and kept smiling.

“Thunder, what are you doing?” I said to her, worried that Callahan would find her too clingy. But he did not seem to mind. He ran his hands through her thick fur and muttered,

“You are a beautiful wolf. Zenovia is lucky to have you”

Thunder let out a low sound that sounded something like a cross between a moan and a growl.、

I wished to see Thunder too. I had met her but had no idea what my wolf looked like.

So Callahan got up from the ground and began walking, “Come with me”

He said and Thunder did not take even a moment to fall in step beside him.

All the time, she kept grazing her muzzle against him and she was purring as if she had never seen a man before.

Well, technically she hadn’t so I really could not find fault with her behavior.

The dark clouds thundered occasionally but it did not rain like I thought it would. They only crackled with a loud sound and lightning that shone through the dark clouds every now and then but it did not rain except for a few drops.

Not that I had an issue with that. I had already experienced a sensory overload with the transformation and I was not sure if I was ready to run in the rain. I feared I would slip and make a fool of myself in front of Callahan.

We reached the edge of the lake and he looked for a boulder nearby and pointed at it.

“Hop on it to get a better look”

Thunder let out a sound of approval and climbed up the boulder. And we both saw the reflection in the water.

Thunder truly looked majestic. Her dark brown fur almost seemed black in the night as it rippled due to the wind..

“You are beautiful, Thunder” I mumbled in her head and she looked up at the sky to see the moon shining amidst the stars and let out a howl.

Callahan chuckled again as she climbed down the boulder and nudged at him, rubbing her head upon his knee.

“What is it, girl?” Callahan asked, she looked at the forest in front of her and then straight into Callahan’s eyes.

He got the message.

“Oh, you want to race?”

She grunted and Callahan asked, “Are you sure? This is your first transformation. I don’t want to wear you down and-”

But before he could complete the sentence, Thunder took off.

“Hey, that’s not fair!” I heard him grumble and Thunder giggled in my head.

“You are forgetting he is our alpha and King” I reminded her and she purred, “Oh come on, I was confined for so long. Let me have some fun.”

I could only shake my head. My wolf had the exact opposite personality of me.

She was sassy, bold, and spoke without thinking while I was more of a timid, shy girl.

“Doesn’t that make us a great team?” She asked with a grin and the sound of footsteps beside us made us look to the left.

Callahan was running with us, in his human form.

Thunder wanted to challenge him and shot off, increasing her speed a lot but Callahan had no problem catching up. She did not like that he could still match her despite still being in his human form so she ran hard, much harder than she

should.

And I began to feel the pain in her joints. I had recently shifted and all the training Callahan had given me on how it would be good to have my bone strength when my wolf would get tired came rushing back to me.

Thunder was soon panting and I felt her leaning on me, trying to borrow strength from me. And no amount of training would have prepared me for this- the real deal.

“Thunder, it is alright. We should go back home” Callahan said while slowing down, hoping that she would too, but Thunder did not want to listen.

“Thunder, please. We can run again later. I promise I will let you out soon” I insisted but her eyes were fixated on a huge tree with a dense network of roots.

A particularly thick root had twisted and turned, rising up a few feet. I.could sense what she was about to do and shrieked, “No, Thunder. Listen to me”

I said or tried to, but she shook her head, let out a grunt, and jumped up as we reached the root system.

Thunder jumped up in the air, aiming to pluck,off a fruit hanging down a branch a few meters above the root by using the thick root as a stepping stone.

But she miscalculated and her back right foot got stuck in the small gap between the roots and I felt her body or mine slam upon the root, hard.

She let out a whimper and would have fallen to the ground and hurt herself even more but fortunately, Callahan simply caught her in his hands.

Thunder let out a pained whimper as Callahan shook his head.

“I forgot newly turned wolves are a little childish”

She made a disgruntled sound of denial but she did not have much energy to go on. I was beginning to, feel the weight of her pain and bones too as she began to borrow more strength from me than I could provide at that moment.

Callahan looked into Thunder’s eyes and spoke, “Zee, I think it is time you shift back”

I was thinking the same thing but Thunder did not agree. She still wanted to be in the open ground and play around some more but she was losing stamina quickly.

“Thunder, it was a delight to meet you. But now, I really need you to give me control.”

Thunder muttered, “Whatever” and the next instant I felt a thousand needles stinging me from all the sides as I felt my bones snap and my muscles go taut and rigid again.

In the next minute, I had shifted back to my human form. There was only one problem though- I was lying stark naked yet again in Callahan’s embrace.
