“No…” I admitted, feeling ashamed. “It was incredible. But it shouldn’t have happened, and I’m embarrassed.”

She pouted.

“I’m sorry,” she said, her expression softening.

“You’re right, Judy. I should have tried harder. It wasn’t cool of me,” she said sadly.

I sighed and walked over to her, wrapping her in a hug.

“I’m not mad at you,” I assured her. “It’s not your fault.”

“I’m sorry for making you feel like you have to take care of me,” she said softly.

We hugged each other tightly for a moment longer before she finally let go.

“Okay, you really should take a shower. You stink,” she joked with a playful grin.

I smiled back at her, feeling a little better.

I pulled my workout clothes out of one of the drawers.

“I’m just going to change and wash up in the sink,” I said to her over my shoulder as I walked toward the bathroom. “I have training today, so taking a shower now doesn’t make sense.”

I got ready in the bathroom, putting on a yoga bra and tight leggings that highlighted my curves. These clothes made it easier for me to move during my training, so they were my go-to outfit. I tied my hair back into a ponytail, ensuring that no loose strands would get in my way.

I splashed some water on my face. Then, I turned on the sink and took a cloth from the shelf nearby.

After putting some cleanser on the cloth, I washed my face, neck, and underarms. Once I finished, I turned off the water after a few minutes and grabbed a dry towel.

I dried myself off and then searched through one of my bathroom bags. Finally, I found my stick of deodorant, along with my toothbrush and toothpaste.

I applied the deodorant and then brushed my teeth. Once I finished, I felt ready to start the day.

Nan told me she was going to have breakfast with her new friends. She asked if we could meet for lunch later. I confirmed our plans and then headed to the resort gym.

I needed to stick to my workout routine.

I was given a large map, but I still ended up getting lost. After wandering for a long time through the many halls and openings of the resort, I finally found the gym. I couldn’t believe I had missed it before!

The gym was enormous. I couldn’t believe it was inside another building. It had three stories and even a swimming pool just for exercise. The walls were made of glass, so I could see the beachside of the resort. From there, I could spot the resort’s casino.

I looked out the window and saw the distance stretching before me. I was ready for the gym, expecting it to be crowded, and it definitely was. Even though the gym was large, it felt like there wasn’t enough space. I knew that most people there were getting ready for their workouts.

I could see that everyone was preparing for the upcoming competition. From the way they worked out and the clothes they wore, it was clear that they were serious about their training. They weren’t just there for casual workouts.

As I looked around the gym, I tried to decide where to start.

I wanted to check if there were any lockers available to store my things. I had a backpack full of gym essentials, my phone, and my wallet. I didn’t want to carry all of that with me throughout the day.

I headed to the locker area to see what I could find.

I walked towards the locker room, passing by unfamiliar faces and offering polite smiles as I went. When I entered the locker room, I noticed a few girls taking selfies in the bathroom. I had to hold back the urge to roll my eyes. They weren’t the only ones in their own little world.

The people at the gym wanted their social media followers to see them as serious gym-goers.

I looked around at the lockers. There were so many of them that it was hard to count. But as I scanned the area, I noticed something interesting about the gym atmosphere.

As I looked at the lockers, each one lit up in red, I realized there wasn’t a single one available.

“Oops, sorry,” said one of the girls, “I got the last one.” She didn’t sound sorry at all. “Maybe you should look somewhere else,” she added with a smirk.

“I wish I had gotten here sooner,” she said.

I pressed my lips together, not wanting to engage with her. I didn’t feel like talking. I turned to walk past her, my bag resting on my shoulder.

“Are you here for the Gamma competition too?” she asked.

“She stopped me in my tracks and asked, ‘Too?’

I turned around to face her and replied, ‘You’re competing?’

‘Don’t look so surprised,’ she said. ‘My dad is sponsoring the event.'”

I raised my brows in surprise.

“You’re Alpha Levi’s daughter?” I asked, feeling stunned. I realized I didn’t know much about Alpha Levi, except that he was a Lycan and an enemy of Gavin.

“Don’t we have a lot to talk about?” she replied with a hint of a smile.

“Do we look alike?” she asked, adjusting her eyelashes.

Now that she mentioned it, she really did have a striking resemblance to him.

“But don’t worry… when I win, it’ll be fair and square,” she said with a big smile.

“I’ve been trained by the best, so I’m sure to win,” she said confidently.

She tossed her long blonde hair over her shoulder and winked at me. That simple gesture made my blood boil. I decided not to say anything back to her; the other competitors were nearby, and I didn’t want to draw attention to myself.

There were some girls in the bathroom who had been talking to her before I got there. They all laughed among themselves, thinking they had outsmarted me. Instead, it fueled my determination. I was even more motivated to take her down first.

I turned and stormed out of the locker room, feeling the heat of my anger.

I ran right into someone. I dropped my bag on the ground and stumbled backward. As I fell, I felt a warm pair of hands steadying me. When I looked up, my breath caught in my throat.

It was Gavin…
