Chapter 25

• HANNAH
• I pant heavily, hands resting on my knees as sweat beads on my forehead. Just finishing a sparring session with one of the pack members, I'm utterly exhausted. Despite the fatigue, I emerged victorious and attribute some of my strength today to Alex. His earlier comment, combined with the anger I felt from witnessing him console Alice, fueled my determination. The intensity of the fight also helped to quell my anger, and now I find myself not as furious with him as before. I straighten up, reaching for a bottle of water, and someone nearby seems to anticipate my need, offering it to me without a word.
• "You were amazing," Jason compliments, handing me the bottle of water.
