Free Web NovelChapter 35: Red wine
Liam’s POV:
I made sure to have my breakfast first and prepare Anastasia’s even though the former alpha had told me before that I didn’t have to do that anymore.
As usual, I made sure to hide my wolf and spray moonflower all over me because even though Anastasia already knew I was an omega, I was still not confident enough to reveal myself to everyone in the packhouse.
My omega wolf hid himself on his own for some reason, I don’t know what’s wrong with him but he just does not want to come out. freewёbnoνel.com
I tried to ask him but he did not answer I even asked my alpha, only to be left confused because my alpha wolf has no idea either.
I sighed while frying the pancakes and trying not to think about how hurt my omega wolf must have been.
He is probably blaming himself for everything.
"Hey, Liam. Philip is outside waiting for you. Are you sure you are completely healed?" That was Claire who stepped inside the kitchen with a tiny worried grin on her face.
She was with me in the kitchen earlier but I asked her about Philip and when I could start my training today, and as the great friend she is, she went to ask him for me.
I’m completely healed.
The wounds are nowhere to be seen on my body as if I was not even injured in the first place, sometimes being a werewolf comes in handy.
" Yep, all healed don’t worry. I will get going." She nodded and patted my shoulder as a way to show her support.
It was almost nine in the morning, I joined the training area where I found Philip standing on the side and observing the warriors warming up.
"Good morning, Liam. Can I see your wounds?" That was the first thing Philip aka the trainer aka the only male true blood in our pack.
I nodded and grabbed my shirt from the bottom and pulled it up before taking it off immediately.
Philip’s brows moved upward, I could tell he was both surprised and impressed "Immaculate, you healed so fast." He paused to note something on his tablet before smirking at me "You are suspicious. Come on, you can start warming up. The warm-ups can be tiring so whenever you need to have a water break, you are allowed."
Again I nodded, I didn’t feel like talking, I felt so low and the last thing I wanted to do right now was talk when it was not even necessary.
I jogged to where the other warriors were warming up and occupied one of the empty spots before I started copying what they were doing.
I stayed bare-chested because all of them are half-naked here so I did the same.
Liam’s POV over
________
Back inside the packhouse, the head alpha was sitting on her bed with four doctors around her. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
Two of them were examining her, another doctor was holding the tools, and the last one was observing and noting everything.
"What’s wrong with her, doctor?" The former alpha who was standing with her husband by the empty side of the bed, asked with worry clear in her tone.
The doctor who was holding that tiny medical flashlight, and was opening Anastasia’s eyes and examining her eyes, glanced at the former alpha " I don’t know yet. We will run some blood tests on the alpha and find out."
Elisabeth nodded as she watched how the doctors took three tiny bottles of blood from the alpha’s arm.
Anastasia was just sitting there, staring at the doctor blankly, she looked like her brain stopped functioning and had no thoughts behind her eyes.
That only made Elisabeth worry more about her.
"We will be back as soon as the results come out." One of the doctors uttered before all of them could step out of the alpha’s room.
Elisabeth glanced at her husband who was watching how their daughter did not move a muscle and just kept sitting and staring at the floor.
They are worried about her.
Elisabeth slowly moved to sit next to her daughter and carefully caressed her shoulder before pulling her into a hug. "Everything is going to be okay. We will get the tests and know what is wrong then we can solve it. Your wolf and powers can not just vanish without coming back. Don’t worry."
Anastasia did not respond, she rested her chin on her mother’s shoulder and stared at the wall without hugging Elisabeth back.
Her dad sighed, feeling an annoying heavy weight on his chest because he felt useless and unable to help his daughter and the only thing he was able to do was to join the little family hug.

Liam’s POV:
The warm-up was kind of hard, the first thing we did was run 1500m in less than ten minutes then we started with exercises that were:
Half Squats, Mountain Climber, Step Lunges, Static Hamstring, Single Leg Bridging, Static, Hip Flexor, Sit Ups, Spider Stretch, Knee, Rolling Stretch, Alternate Arm and Leg Lifts, Glute Stretch, Piriformis Stretch, High Plank with Alternate Hip Tap.
Then we started jogging on the spot for ten minutes, doing Jumping Jacks, High Jumpers, Pectoral Stretch, Side Stretch, Dynamic Quad Stretches, Hamstring Stretches, and Calf stretches.
Then we had five minutes to Breathe in/out and drink some water to freshen up.
After those five minutes, we started again with Pectoral Stretch, Side Stretch, Quad Stretch, Hamstring Stretch, Calf Stretch, Glute Stretch, Groin Stretch.
After almost an hour and a half, Philip finally asked us to stop to rest for ten minutes.
I could feel my whole body soaked in sweat, my chest bouncing up and down, trying to catch my breath while holding a bottle of water to chugging it down.
"That was amazing, Liam. I expected you to stop at some point but you just kept going." Philip rushed to me with a huge grin on his face.
It was tiring, true but definitely not more tiring than my previous job.
Philip has no idea how long I can actually keep doing these exercises.
I just smiled back at him and thanked him for the compliment.
The rest of the warriors started combatting each other while Philip pulled me to an empty spot so that he could teach me how to properly fight since I was still a beginner and wasn’t trained enough to have combat training with the other warriors.
That lasted two hours, and to be honest, I enjoyed every single moment of it.
Fighting and tiring my body worked like magic and allowed me to forget a bit about this morning.
"You are a fast learner. By next month you will probably be able to put me down." Philip spoke and chuckled, which made me grin slightly.
He is just trying to motivate me, because although I was lucky to beat up Scott’s ass, Philip seemed to be in his late thirties and also looked like he has been training since he was in his mother’s womb, and to make it worse he is a true blood.
Not in my wildest dream would I be able to win against him.
The only person who can beat a true blood is another true blood.
This is just reality.
"You can go take a shower and eat. Eat well." That was the last thing Philip said before waving at me and leaving.
I took a deep breath, only to feel a strange annoying weight on my chest, I cussed under my breath because I was not supposed to think of what Anastasia said to me this morning but my stupid brain did anyway.
And now I feel like I have nothing worthy to live for anymore.
I rushed to my room to take a quick shower, then I blew-dried my hair to put it in a man bun as usual before putting some clothes on and heading to the kitchen where I found Claire cooking.
"Hi, Claire. Did Caleb take breakfast to the alpha’s room?" I asked as I moved to stand by Claire’s side to watch what she was making.
She glanced at me and shook her head "The alpha refused to let anyone come into her room. Doctors came this morning but after they and the alpha’s parents left her room, she locked herself in."
I bit my inner lip and hummed while chewing an olive, as an attempt to act like I don’t care that much when in reality I want nothing more than to run to my mate’s room and check up on her.
" I will make some lunch for her and go test my luck." I immediately started making steak with roasted vegetables and mashed potatoes on the side.
When I finished preparing the steak, I placed it on the tray with a salad and a big glass of orange juice on the side.
Then I headed to the elevator, straight to her room.
I knocked on the door "Alpha, this is me, Liam. I made one of your favorite meals. Steak." I gulped and narrowed my hands on the tray when I realized she probably wouldn’t open the door " Alpha, please open the door, I will just put the tray and leave if you want me to."
I waited for five minutes, only to sigh and look down at my shoes.
"It’s opened." My eyes flashed open when I heard that whisper coming from inside the room.
I immediately grabbed the doorknob and opened the door, only to find Anastasia sitting on her bed while working on her laptop.
She glanced at me and moved her gaze away instantly.
I stepped closer and placed the tray on her nightstand, speaking gently " Please eat something."
She glanced at me, and nodded slightly "You can go, Snow."
I nodded and was about to walk out of the room when my eyes caught that empty glass of wine thrown on the floor with red wine spilled around it.
The only problem was that the red wine did not quite smell like red wine.
