Pride & Lust

Effects

"Those tattoo's are very disturbing. Normally only humans have those gross-"

"Im not a human. Im not a wolf. So stop confusing yourself." I crossed my arms over my black sports bra.

When is this damn lesson going to start?

"Touchy. Well we need to start anyways." He nodded glancing at the pack's gym.

"Today we are not going to lift weights or use the other machines..." Patriat murmured making me only more frustrated.

"Okay then..." I blew out a sigh, my little patience being spent.

"I want you to run. No changing, we are challenging only your current form."

Fucking great. I hate running with only two legs. I'm skinny sure, but in no way am i in shape. Hell i cant even run around the house without getting out of breath.

"How long?" I asked not trying to show my inner problems with running.

"Until you are on the floor and cannot move." He said without skipping a beat.

My heart hitched and my palms got sweaty. Don't worry Celeste, we got this! I kept telling myself as i awkwardly stretched for the long run.

I heard Patriat chuckle, making my stretching skills halt.

"Whats so funny?"

"I just cant wait to see how long this is going to last... My estimate will be forty minutes." His amused eyes twinkled.

So he thinks i am a big joke. Well wolf man is going to have to witness my brilliance.

"Your under-estimating me. Maybe ill show you to higher your standards to my kind?" I resumed my stretching, gaining new confidence so i can show this man whose boss, Celeste style.

"Your talk so bad about wolf changelings, yet they gave you a home when you needed one. Shouldn't you be grateful?"

My hands formed fists and my jaw clenched hitting a nerve. He thought i would love being treated like a charity case? That what, i was blessed for not knowing or should i say remembering my family?

Rather then punching him square in the face like i know i will regret for not doing, i dug my heel into the dirt and took off running leaving all my problems behind and focused on what i planned on achieving.

"Well done, i have to admit you did excel the time i thought u would have ran."

His voice was currently buzzing in and out of understanding as my thoughts where mostly on how wonderful dirt felt to my body right now. So hard, so cold, so fantastic.

After running around the pack house for a couple hours (i lost count after an hour passed) i gave into my aching legs and lungs and abruptly fell to the ground. And honestly? Nothing felt as amazing as the stiff ground.

"That's all i need you for today." He excused himself leaving me with no help.

Ass.

Too tired to complain, i pushed myself up flinching at my stinging sore muscles being put back to use. I could really use a nice warm bath. 

Limping all the way to the huge backyard patio i noticed a jacuzzi calling my name.

"Why hello there." I smirked not caring i was wearing a sports bra and spanx.

"I couldn't ride that nice new hummer... But ill be damned if i don't get good use out of you." I winked to the jacuzzi and gave it a flirtatious kiss.
