When its master is gone, can a human furnace live as a person?

I am a pure yin constitution furnace, solely for the demonic sect master to use. But then shizun killed the sect master and took me home, and he said, "From now on, you are not a furnace. You are my disciple."

A short story about found family, recovery, and new beginnings. 

(The romance lines are teacher x rogue cultivator, disciple x disciple)

Context for readers: this story breaks down a common trope in cultivation stories found in Chinese fantasy, namely, the idea of a "human cauldron" or human furnace. In these stories, engaging in 'dual cultivation' (that is, intercourse) with someone of opposite traits from yourself can increase your strength of cultivation. Human furnaces are people with whom dual cultivating is especially beneficial. They often suffer tragic fates. The protagonist in this story is someone who has been raised as a human furnace, without understanding of his own worth as a human being. The novel explores his healing and growth as he learns to live freely with the support of his teacher and friends. While this is a slice-of-life story that focuses on daily living and emotion, it touches on darker concepts within the protagonist's psychology and memories. Please take care while reading.

[[MATURE CONTENT]] Pack, family, mate. Loyalty, respect, honor. These are the words that form the foundation of the wolf society. At six years old, Ethan had to choose between his Alpha title and his survival on the night of his father's death. As a teenager, his family and lineage are further humiliated because he has not had his first transformation. Between dealing with a bully on a power trip, the challenges of high school, a less than sympathetic alpha, and his current impairment, Ethan is barely surviving. His daily prayer to Luna was simple: a request to find his wolf. But he would soon learn that the moon goddess does not do things by half-measures. On the night of his first transformation, she also tossed in a mate who wants absolutely nothing to do him and a vengeful alpha hell-bent on ripping his neck out. Soon he learns that high school bullies and homework are the least of his worries when he has to flee his pack and live with his mate: the warrior vampire whose entire history was forged from killing his kind. Learning to control his wolf, avoiding assassins, fighting his mate, and for his mate become daily struggles. But battles come in many forms and not always when or where he expects them.
