Chapter 0180 +25 BONUS My father smiled , the kind of proud smile that always made me feel like I could take on anything .
Thats my girl , he said warmly .
Now , it seems to me youve had a very long day .
Why dont you go get some rest? Youve got therapy in the morning , right ? Thats right , I confirmed .
My occupational therapy appointment .
Im still not used to going every week .
I almost forgot .
Well , dont forget , he said with a chuckle .
Youre making progress , and thats what matters .
I smiled , feeling a small flicker of pride at his words .
Thanks , Dad .
The next day at my therapy appointment , my good mood persisted .
Things went well , even though my usual therapist was out and a substitute was helping me .
She was a young , pretty woman with light brown hair and a kind smile .
She looked vaguely familiar , but her name didnt ring any bells , and I couldnt place where I knew her from .
She was talkative as we worked through the exercises , many of which involved stretching and breathing practices .
To my mild amusement , she had a lot of questions about Alexander , which wasnt surprising .

He was quite popular with the ladies , after all .
It was only natural for people to be curious about him .
Id feel insecure being with someone as attractive and popular as that , she said as we stood up from the exercise mats where wed been stretching .
I did feel a little insecure at first , I admitted .
But Alexander isnt what youd imagine .
Hes not full of himself or cocky because of his popularity .
No ? she said , sounding surprised .
It doesnt affect him at all ? It affects him , I replied , just not in the way youd expect .
It doesnt make him overconfident .
If anything , it makes him hyper aware of his role and the fact that he has to be careful to meet peoples expectations , especially when it comes to doing whats best for his pack .
He sounds pretty incredible , she said with an odd smile .
He is , I agreed .
She stared at me for a moment , then walked over to the nearby countertop and picked up her laptop .
While she was focused on the screen , I studied her face , trying to place where I had seen her before .
Then it clicked she had been an intern at my doctors office years ago when she was still in school .
But there was something else .
Her name was different .
Are you married ? I asked suddenly , the question escaping before I could think it through .
She looked startled , glancing up at me .
No.
Why do you ask ? Thesitated , unsure how to respond .
I was certain she was the same person I remembered , but the name difference threw me off .
Maybe I was wrong , or maybe she just had one of those faces that was easy to mistake .
Just curious , since were talking about relationships , I said lightly , not wanting to offend her .
Maybe one day , she replied with a small smile , then turned her attention back to the screen .
Youre making good progress .
I think we should continue the weekly meetings for now , but soon well be able to move to twice a month .
Im glad you feel Im making progress , I said .
But I dont feel like I am .
Shouldnt I be feeling my wolf by 1/2 +25 BONUS Chapter 0180 now ? Shouldnt there be some signs that this is working ? The signs are subtle , she said .
Sometimes you dont even notice them .
Is there anything else I can do to speed up the process ? You said youre exercising regularly , right ? I nodded .
Then youre doing everything you can .
Theres no reason to rush it .
Youll only make it harder on yourself if youre impatient .
Her reassurance eased some of my tension .
Thank you , I said with a small smile .
Of course .
It looks like your regular therapist will be out again next week , so Ill see you then .
Have a great week , Miss Rowan .
And you , I replied .
I gathered my things and headed out .
As I stepped into the sunlight , my phone buzzed in my pocket .
I pulled it out , expecting something mundane .
But as my eyes scanned the screen , my breath hitched .
My blood ran cold .
The text was from a contact I never thought Id hear from again .
