Chapter 41

The day after my meeting with Callahan, or rather the night after, I decided to focus on awakening my wolf.

My first transformation had been a disaster, my emotions had gotten the better of me, and King Callahan had sated my heat.

But I did not want a repeat of that incident. I had been seen as weak and worthless all my life and now that my wolf had finally shown up. I did not want to miss this chance.

I wanted to change my destiny and become a strong she wolf. Maybe I could become a low level member of Callahan’s pack and serve him until one day I find my mate.

The idea of having a mate enthralled me. My mother had been so much in love with my father that I had grown up watching her shower him with love and affection. He had meant the world to me.

Though then his fated mate showed up and he easily discarded my mother, the woman he had lived with for so many years.

I did not want the same thing to happen to me. At most, I could admire the King from a distance. But the day his curse was lifted and he found his mate, he would forget the girls throwing themselves at him.

My father had been a prime example of that. My mother had devoted her life to him but my father had gotten rid of her in an instant.

And, some part of me was still not over the fact that he had not even thought of me once before selling me off to some unknown man.

I could not live with the heartbreak like my mom did. At least, my mother had me to love but I would not have anybody to

live for.

So, I had to grow strong.

Shaking my head, I got up from the bed and wore a sports bra, a loose tee, and stretchable pants.

I figured I should start working out so that my body healed quickly and the next time, I would be better prepared for the

shift.

Thus, I tied my shoelaces, grabbed a bottle, and decided to step outside the mansion. There was a big gym on Callahan’s side of the wing, but I was not sure if anybody else was allowed to use it.

So, I headed outside the mansion, but instead of the huge front yard. I decided to run through the backyard.

I would ask Callahan…no I would ask Matteo or maybe Elijah to train me a bit. If they would give me a few basic workout tips, I would work on my strength and physique.
