Chapter 0279

Thats not for you to be concerned about , I nearly growled Just let me work out without you breathing down my neck .

1 turned away and once again , hobbled .

This time though , he let me g I decided to work out with the weights .

It would give me a chance to sit down , and I can still get a decent workout in .

1 started with the smaller weights .

I sat on the bench and grabbed a 30 pound dumbbell .

After a few sets , I grabbed an even bigger size and started another set .

Looking around me , I saw a ton of jacked men and a few jacked women working out their arms with giant weights that were bigger than my body .

It was pretty intimidating to watch .

I shook my head and continued my own sets , grabbing bigger weights as I progressed .

I wasnt on my leg at all , but as time went on , it was getting difficult to ignore the pain in ankle .

my You competing ? A voice asked from another bench nearby .

It was a woman , and she was adding giant weights , getting ready to do some bench work .

She glanced in my direction , waiting for my response .

Realizing she was talking to me , I nodded .

Uh , yeah , I told her .

What pack you from ? Redmoon , I replied .

She nodded , her eyes scanning me like she was sizing me up .

Come spot for me , she demanded .

I was taken aback by the forcefulness in her tone ; she wasnt giving me a choice , that was a fact .noveldrama

I wanted to tell her that I could barely stand , let alone spot her .

But I didnt want to see weak ; I would just have to fight through the pain .

I stood , trying not to look as though I was in a crazy amount of pain , and scurried over ot her .

I didnt want to hobble because then she would know .

I stood behind her , reaching out to grab the weights if necessary .

She laid down on the bench , grabbed each side of the weight , and lifted it up ; her muscles protruding as she did so , making me realize she was a lot tougher than she looked initially .

Are you competing too ? I asked , trying to keep my mind off the pain in my foot Yup , she murmured .

Im Tabitha , but most call me Tabby .

As she said her name , she grunted as the weight came down on her .

She pushed it back up with another loud grunt .

Im from the Lakewood pack .

Ive heard of their pack ; they were pretty large and tough competitors .

Im Judy , I replied .

She grunted again as she lifted the weight in the air , but this time when it came back down it was a lot faster than she intended and I heard her gasp .

I had always been a quick responder when it came to things like this ; the second I realized she wasnt in control and weights were slamming down on her , I grabbed the weights and stopped them from crushing her seconds before they actually did .

By doing so , I heard my ankle snapping and pain shoot up my leg once again , nearly paralyzing me .

Tears stung my eyes , and I quickly linked them away as I placed the weight back on the hook .

25 Tabby sat up , her hand on her chest as she panted .

Youre pretty good , she said .

Thanks .

I nodded , biting my lower lip until I tasted blood .

Yeah , no worries , I squeaked out .

I need to run .

Ill see you later .

It was nice meeting you.

I started to hobble away ; each step was more painful than the last .

I couldnt imagine how much damage I did to my ankle and now I fear I might not be able to complete it because of it .

I started towards the exit , but then I felt a warm coat draping over my shoulders and before I knew what was happening , I was airborne .
