Chosen By The Lycan King Chapter 18
Tessa’s POVI groaned and bent forward, leaning my upper body on my thighs while I panted and tried to keep myself from crumpling into an exhausted heap.“I can’t…go…on…” I panted at Zane, and he chuckled.“That’s the attitude that’s keeping you from running the same number of laps every day. You need to push yourself. You can do it. You just don’t think you can.”I straightened, trying to slow my breaths. “I really want to…” I paused to take several more breaths. “It’s just that.... it’s so hard.”My breaths finally evened out but my legs remained rubbery and exhausted, my body weakened by the constant activity. We’d been at it for hours, teaching me some defensive combinations to try out after the laps I’d run around the training ground.My size should give me an advantage in terms of speed and agility, at least according to Zane. Unfortunately for us both, it wasn’t happening. I was too slow, too clumsy, and too weak.“Don’t worry. Just make sure you keep practicing. As long as you

Tessa’s POVI looked around, sniffing the lovely scent of fresh sweet flowers, tree musks, and even the dirt.Bitterly, I smiled while I slid my fingers on the bushes while I walked. “It would have been great if I could shift.”“You can’t shift?” Zane halted and looked at me with narrowed eyes.Spreading my arms with my shoulders up, I sarcastically joked, “Surprise, surprise! Just when you thought I couldn’t be more weaker than I am, huh?”“And still, you dare to have that stubbornness and uncontrollable guts of yours!” I stared at him, trying to see if he was being serious or joking to make me feel better. But with his usual stoic face, it’s useless.Really! Seeing him smile and be at ease was as rare as stumbling into a gem!“I wasn’t blessed with physical strength or shifting abilities! Should I also have a weak will? Then I’d be a real joke.” With that, I hastened my phase.“You’re not weak,” he suddenly said, making me halt.Slowly, I turned around to face him. “What did you say

Zane’s POV“You're dead!” I said through gritted teeth as I caught the flying knife with my bare hand.Sure, its sting and pain cursed through my system, but it was bearable. After being in countless battles and tortures, one would be surprised how much pain they could learn to tolerate.I didn’t know who they were, but they were obviously mere pawns. It didn’t even take me so much time to fight and defeat the three of them. And because they only had small knives, they weren’t as prepared as they thought they were.“Let’s go. Are you alright?” I asked Tessa, who nodded in shock.“Good, let’s go.”After disposing of the would-be assassin, I had my men escort us back to the mansion just to be sure we weren’t ambushed on the road.Tessa was pretty shaken up by the whole thing. The last blade especially had nearly gotten to her until I’d yanked her once more into safety.“I’m fine.” She reassured me when I glanced over at her for what had to be the thousandth time in this not-so-long car

Tessa's POVI woke up early the next morning feeling far better than I had the evening before, entirely refreshed to start a new day. I got out of bed with renewed vigor, determined to excel at my training today with Zane.Yesterday had been terrifying for me, and I still found it difficult to believe that somebody out there wanted me dead. If Zane hadn't been there, they would have succeeded, a thought that haunted me even now as it crossed my mind.I didn't understand why anyone would want to kill me. I had, to my knowledge, done nothing wrong. At first, I'd thought he'd been coming for Zane, but after the second knife had flown straight at me, it was clear that I was the target.While I was happy Zane had been there to save my life, it was clear I needed to take my training more seriously so I could protect myself even when I was alone.After Zane left me in the bedroom last night, Fred came to check on me and make sure I was okay. I'd appreciated his gentleness, and the little jok

Tessa’s POV“Who can say? You know what happened between those two the first time.”I was still reeling over that Zane had found his mate and remained unbonded to her. He was already as powerful as he was now.He would be unstoppable once he fully bonded with fated mate, so why on earth hadn’t he done so already?And what the hell was he doing with me, knowing he had a mate? Was that why he avoided me now? Was he, even now, trying to reconcile with her? I forced my mind to stop buzzing, needing to eavesdrop on the rest of this conversation in a way I’d never needed to before.“I hope he does it. King Zane will be unstoppable if he finally gives in to his mate bond. Our pack will be the strongest in the country, and no one could fight him for the throne anymore!” The maid who asked the first question giggled to her companions.The third, who had been silent until now, made a sound of dissent “Hm. I don’t know. I don’t think he’ll do it. It’s not like he even summoned her to come. He se

Zane’s POV“I know we decided you should take a little break from Tessa, but I think you might be going about it rather too harshly,” Fred said as he entered my office after breakfast that morning.I didn’t bother to glance at him, typing away on my laptop. It was a testament to my self-control that I retained my train of thought instead of cussing him out of my office like I wanted.Instead, when I typed out a few sentences, I picked a file from the pile next to me and threw it further down my desk towards him.“The accounts I need auditing. Once you go through it yourself, you can call the accountant to get started,” I said without looking at him, ignoring his stare as I kept working on my laptop.Fred gave me a long, suffering sigh but took the documents and sat down across the desk from me to get started. I kept working, but my focus surprisingly remained intact, considering how hard I fought not to even think about that certain woman whom I shouldn’t be caring about in the very f

Tessa’s POVI was getting sick and tired of obsessing over why Zane was ignoring me so blatantly. Later that afternoon, to distract myself from everything that was happening, I went to the kitchen.I’ve always loved cooking. Something about the process of food making always filled me with joy and wonder, not to mention a bit of self-satisfaction.For some reason, cooking soothed me, so I usually fell back on it whenever I had any emotional upheaval, like the fact that Zane had gone from saving my life to wanting nothing to do with me in the blink of an eye.If I could just know his reason─I started to think, but I halted my thoughts by marching myself down to the kitchen to keep them from running wild again. As I walked inside, it didn’t escape my notice that the last time I’d cooked in here was for Zane.The maids present there froze when I walked in and looked at each other with wide eyes before one of them broke out of the group, scrambling off somewhere else.I watched her flee i

Zane’s POV“You might be under the illusion that you’re queen over all here, and I may allow you from time to time based on our history, but make no mistake, that is not your place here, and you do not have any right to question me on who I speak to,” I said calmly while Morgan pouted even harder and then rolled her eyes.“Jeez, I was just joking. Why are you so sensitive about this slave?” she muttered, and a fire lit in Zane’s eyes. However, he didn’t say anything to address it, so I kept silent, too.“We can discuss what you want in my office,” he said before giving Tessa a strained and apologetic smile as she left.I leaned back in my chair and leveled Morgan with a cool look, which she smiled sheepishly at.“Am I in trouble?” she teased playfully, but I wasn’t in the least bit amused.“You need to leave,” I said, and she blinked at me.“W─What?”“I said you need to─”“I heard you the first time!” she snapped, a hint of irritation on her face.“Why?” she whined, and my stare at he
