Chapter 0278 Sweat was beading at the nape of my neck the longer we ran like this .


    I wasnt going to give up though ; I had done a lot faster in the past and a lot longer too .


    I went jogging almost every morning before school , I was in great shape , and he would soon realize that as well .


    I wasnt one to back down , not when it came to training my body .


    He stared at me , his eyes never leaving mine as he pressed another button , making himself run even faster .


    Soon , we were both running so fast that a normal person wouldnt be able to see our legs .


    They were nothing but blurs as the treadmill continued to work overtime .


    My lungs felt as if they were going to burst at any second .


    Gavin didnt look phased though and 1 shouldnt have been surprised , he had probably done a lot worse than this .


    I didnt want to back down though hand show him weakness ; I wanted to prove that I was worthy of this … that I had what it takes .


    It was important to me .


    I didnt have time toprehend what had happened before I fell off the treadmill and mmed into the ground , nearly flying toward the other side of the room .


    Gavin stopped his treadmill and mine at the same time before jumping off and running towards me .


    A shooting pain coursed up my leg from my ankle , making tears burn in my eyes .


    Are you okay ? Gavin asked as he tried to assess the damage done to my ankle .


    1 swatted him away , hating the throbbing pain I felt in my ankle , but I couldnt stop training now .


    It was too early , and I had too much to prepare for .


    Gavin grabbed my hands with one of his hands , keeping me from swatting him away again , and then he asked my ankle with his other hand .


    Its sprained , he told me with a frown .


    What were you thinkingpeting with me ? You should have been more careful .


    Tears burned in my eyes as I stared at my swollen red ankle .


    I knew that it would be healed before thepetition started tomorrow .


    I needed to be careful on it for tonight though so it could heal properly .


    he I need to get you to a doctor , he told me as he was about to scoop me into his arms .


    I was on fight and flight mode though and right now .


    I quickly wiggled out of his hold and pulled myself to my feet , biting my tongue through the searing pain in my ankle and trying hard to keep my pressure off it .


    Im fine , I told him quickly .


    I wanted to work out , so thats what Im going to do .


    I started to hobble away , holding onto the wall for support .


    It looked like I was going to have to skip leg day and work out my arms instead .


    It was a setback , but I should be fine by tomorrow .


    As a wolf , I was a fast healer , so I wasnt too worried about it .


    I just hoped Id be prepared for the first round ofpetitions .


    I highly suggest you get that checked out .


    Youll make it worse if you continue to use your leg , Gavin said from behind me .


    You might be the boss of me back home because I tutor your son .


    But you arent the boss of me here , I told him , putting my hands on my hips .


    I am capable of making my own decisions .


    I know my body and what it can handle .


    Ill get it looked atter , but for right now , Im able to continue my workout session .


    1 started to hobble away again but he grabbed my arm , halting me .


    You can barely walk , he said through his teeth , his fury Dashing across his eyes .


    I pulled my arm away from him , surprising him with the amount of force I used .
