Ella POV

The next morning, Alexander still hadn't returned to the apartment. Needing a distraction, I decided to head to the gym.

I'd been training more and more with Trevor ever since my wolf awakened. He was an expert in weight training- his broad shoulders were proof enough-and he'd explained that strengthening my frame would make the transition between my human and wolf forms smoother. At least, that's what he claimed.

I arrived early, just as the gym opened. Trevor was already there, his usual focused energy buzzing beneath the surface. We chatted briefly about my workout plan for the day before he left me to warm up on my own.

Cardio first-then, when I was ready to move to weights, Trevor would come back to spot me. The last thing I needed was to drop a barbell on myself because my mind was too tangled with thoughts of Alexander.

I tried not to let the worry gnaw at me. This wasn't the first time Alexander had stayed out past morning, but now I knew where he was-acting as the Ice King, dealing with rogues and criminals. The weight of that knowledge sat heavily on me. I had no idea what kind of danger he might be facing.

I forced myself to focus, pushing harder on the treadmill, driving my legs faster than usual. Maybe if I burned through enough energy, I could drown out the anxiety clawing at my thoughts.
