Chapter 98

• Vanessa’s POV
• After the only ten minutes I've ever enjoyed on a cardio machine, I hop down, awaiting Alpha Alexander's next set of instructions. I feel more energized than when I walked in here. Normally, cardio exhausts me, which is why I hardly do it.
• He takes me over to the bench where he's set up an Olympic bar. He shows me the basics of a proper bench press, which I thought were self-explanatory but apparently not. It turns out there's a lot of technique involved in lifting a bar straight up in the air.
