Chapter 83
“Hey, I’m still here! <b>A </b>hand waved in front of my eyes and 1 looked up to <b>see </b>Arthur looking at me in confusion.
“Where did you zone off to? Some dreand?” <b>He </b><b>asked </b>and I buried the memory of Eros and I’s intimate moment.
“Nothing. I was just wondering how to defeat you in theps.” I answered and be ced his hands on his hips..
“Oh, I see. The little <b>wolf </b>is preparing herself to fight”
He wiggled his eyebrows yfully and I gave him an amused saile
“Go, get your headstart. Stand at whatever point you wish to start running from, I will still defeat you”
I took the yful challenge and stood a few feet ahead of him. Arthur had his hands folded upon his chest,
“Are you sure that is enought Come on, go <b>ahead </b>a bit more. I don’t want you to cry <b>a </b>

I did a <b>fake </b>pout. “I would not cry <b>okay</b>! I y fair”
He mimicked my voice. “I y fair ooo, Arthur is the bad guy” Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
I chuckled at that and took the position as he announced, “On your <b>mark</b>, get set, go!“.
I shot forward with as much speed as possible and began to run as if my life depended on it. I looked back and Arthur still had not started running
1 shouted, “You are going to lose!!”
“He mocked me, “Ha! We will seef
I kept running as fast as my legs could carry me. The sun <b>had </b>already risen and the darkness had been reced by the first rays of sunlight.
I almost covered half the distance of thep when <b>Arthur </b>finally started to run. Upon seeing him run, I increased my pace. my lungs burning and my legs aching in pain as I kept pushing them.
But despite that, he was beginning to close on me. I was wheezing and panting but I kept pushing myself, kept running and i finished just a second before his foot touched the line we had a drawn.
I could not stand anymore and copsed on the ground as I coughed and wheezed. Even Arthur fell on the ground beside me and soon we both wereughing.
My entire body was covered in sweat, my chest felt like burning and I also feared all the air in the world would not be enough to fill my lungs.
But despite that, I felt great. Running had been exciting andughing and joking around with Arthur, even more so I was really beginning to like hispany.
“Wow that was close” He spoke while lying on the <b>ground </b>beside me.
My breath was still ragged and it took me a few
he ced his head on his arm and asked, to return my breathing to normal. Propping his <b>hand </b>on his elbow,
“So <b>you </b>won. What do you want as a prize?” He asked and Iughed while pushing a few strands of hair away from my <b>face</b>.
“What I can get a prize??” I asked in a disbelieving voice and he nodded his head.

Chapter 83
“Yes, it is not every day that the mighty Beta of the Hybrid King’s pack gets defeated.”
1 chuckled at the thought about it. I had not really eaten muchst night and all the running was making me feel famished
“How about we go inside and <b>ask </b>Glinda to cook some breakfast for us
“Ooh, food. I never <b>say </b>no to good food. He said and then sat up on the ground. I was still lying on the ground, my feet aching a little which he noticed.
“You trained after a gap. Maybe, I could help loosen those muscles a little
My feet were aching but I did not want him to feel I was taking advantage of his politeness.
“No really, it is okay.” I <b>said</b>, and <b>tried </b>getting up but winced when I put some weight on the left foot
Before I could protest, Arthur had already taken my foot and ced it on hisp “These muscles need some rxing. I <b>know </b>how to do that”
“Arthur, <b>please </b>don’t bother.“I began but he dismissed my <b>concern</b>. “<b>Look </b>at those legs. They are pumped. Let me massage them for a while and <b>you’ll </b>feel instantly better.”
Saying so, he began kneading through my calf and I indeed I felt better. My legs was sore and stiff after I pushed my body to the limits and Arthur’s massage was really helping me a lot.
The pain immediately lessened and I felt a bit of strength return in my legs. His <b>touch </b><b>was </b>soft and warm, even though it didut send any tingles up my spine like Eros’s had.
Iid on the ground. letting him massage my <b>legs </b>and waist a little
“Feeling better?” He asked and I nodded as he helped me get up again. About your next request, let me return in some time.
“Huh? What request?”
“I think I know why you are pushing yourself. I know how <b>taxing </b>it <b>is </b>on newly awakened wolves to get adjusted to the changes in their body.”
I gave him a nervous smile, and he said “But also, the <b>wolf </b>needs to ensure she eats and not faint.”
It was a maid who had a tray in her hand. There was a clothe hiding the te and the contents beneath it.
“May I present <b>to </b>you, the world famous chef’s signature dish. Arthur lifted the clothe dramatically and beneath it I <b>saw </b>a few sandwiches. We were now at a dining hall, and Arthur had made the food.
My stomach grumbled at the sight of food and I immediately grabbed it, <b>making </b>me <b>reach </b>for it with both hands and gobble it like a gori.
“Umm” I made odd noises while eating the food and Arthur smiled proudly at me.
Do you like it?” He asked and I nodded, “Of course, it tastes delicious..
Arthur’s chest puffed a little, “I knew it. After all, I am an expert cook.”
I nodded, “World ss chef while <b>raising </b><b>the </b>sandwich in one hand. This <b>was </b>one of the best morning I had in the recent<b>. </b>
weeks and all of it was because of Arthur.
The food prepared by someone like Arthur, who <b>was </b>a fierce creature, tasted heavenly.
I looked down and rubber <b>my </b><b>stomach</b>, “At this rate, you are going to make me fat

Well, you are a bit too skinny, you know. Eating a bit will do you good,” he said with <b>a </b>shy smile and he looked extremely
cute when he did that.
“If I eat so much, at this rate, <b>I </b><b>am </b>not going to leave any food for you guys.”
Arthur waved his hand off. “Ohe on, we are warriors. We train and eat much more than what you will finish in a week”
I giggled and finished thest bit of sandwich and wiped my mouth off with the <b>back </b>of my hand “Thank you, Arthur” 1 mumbled and he bowed <b>again</b>.
“I’d thought of trying something new and couldn’t find someone to experiment on” I nodded my head and was about to stand up, when he suddenly said “wait!”
I furrowed my eyebrows and asked, “What happened?”
Arthur pointed at my lips, “You have some sauce… there”
I wiped my lips with my hand and asked, “Is it <b>gone </b>now?”
He shook his head. “No, it is still there. A little bit to the left. he reached for his lips and showed me the spot on his face.
I mirrored him and wiped my hands on my lips, “Now?”
He shook his head and walked towards me, “May 1”
I hodded and reached for my face and cupped it. I felt it was a cute gesture and he was only offering me help. I didn’t want ed think it as intimate or maybe he likes me.
This Arthur was very sweet, polite, and down to earth. He wouldn’t shout at me, growl, or grumble like in my past life. Now, he was always happy and his smile was infectious.
“You.. you are beautiful, Eden” He whispered and I gasped.
