She smiled slightly. “Strengthening your body will help strengthen your wolf as well,” she explained. Remember, your wolf is a part of you, not a separate entity When you’re stronger, she’s stronger. And she’ll need her strength to emerge from this dormant state.”
“I see,” I said, smiling. “That makes sense. Thank you for doing this and for giving me some hope.”
“Of course.” She nodded. “Now, Alpha Black is waiting for you. He told me to send you on to this address when you were finished.” She handed me a small notecard with an address written neatly across it. “It’s not far from here.”
“Thank you,” I replied, taking the card.
The doctor nodded once more. “I’ll give you some privacy to get dressed. When you’re ready, you can exit the way you came.”
With that, she left the room. I quickly dressed and then entered the address into my phone. It was a short walk, 50 I decided not to call for a ride.
When I stepped out of the office, James was waiting on the sidewalk, his posture alert. He had insisted on walking me here but agreed to wait outside for privacy.
He’d been more cautious since the incident with David, and I couldn’t blame him. Honestly, I was relieved that Alexander had kept James as my bodyguard–he and I had grown close, and I would’ve hated for him to be held responsible for what happened.
James smiled when he saw me, moving to walk beside me as we started down the sidewalk.
“Alexander’s waiting for me somewhere nearby, apparently,” I said, handing him the note card.
“Oh,” James said thoughtfully, glancing at the address. “That’s the gym.”
“The gym?” I repeated, surprised. “Why would Alexander want to meet me there?”
James shrugged. “Many members of our pack use this gym. He might be finishing a workout and figured he’d meet you there.”
“Maybe,” I said, considering it. I hadn’t pictured Alexander as someone who worked out regularly, but of course, a physique like his wasn’t maintained by sitting in an office all day.
James led me easily to the gym, a plain brick building. Inside, the scent of lemon and soap greeted us. The gym’s decor was simple and clean, and all the equipment looked brand new.
I scanned the room and immediately spotted Alexander on the far side of the floor. As James and I approached, I noticed a few others joining him, all of them watching us with interest.
“What’s going on?” I asked Alexander once I was close enough to speak in a normal tone.
“I spoke to the doctor this morning before your appointment,” he replied. “She mentioned that if all went well, she’d recommend an exercise regimen to help strengthen your wolf. So, I thought I’d get a head start by meeting my team here.”
“Your team?” I asked, a bit confused.
“My personal trainers,” he clarified, gesturing to the three people nearby. “They work with many members of the pack. I trust them.”
I took in the group: a petite woman with white–blonde hair a tall, broad–shouldered man with a shaved head, and

a young man with tawny skin and a lean, muscular build.
“So, you’re saying you want to set up a workout regimen for me?” I asked, raising an eyebrow in exaggerated offense.
Alexander chuckled. “That’s exactly what I’m saying. But don’t worry–I’ve never asked you to do something I wouldn’t do myself. I’ll join you for the first few workouts to help you get into it.”
Heat rose to my cheeks. The thought of working out with Alexander made me both nervous and excited, and the teasing glint in his eye didn’t help.
Not wanting to let him see how flustered I felt, I smirked back. “We’ll see if you can keep up with me,” I challenged.
