Bab 106: A friend? (cont.)

"So, now that you are at the Dark Howlers pack, what are you doing?", Mindy asked Talia.

"I'm helping in the kitchen."

Mindy cocked an eyebrow. "Alpha Damon put you to work right away?"

"No, no.", Talia quickly said. "I asked to work in the kitchen because I wanted to learn how to cook. Besides, sitting in the room the whole day is boring." Seeing that Mindy's expression showed approval, Talia had an urge to leave a good impression, so she added, "I'm also studying about medicine with the hope to work in the pack hospital, and I'm training to improve my physical condition and learn to fight."

"Really?"

Talia nodded earnestly and gestured toward the table where Keith was. "Keith is my personal trainer. He designed an exercise routine for me. We will be going to the training center from here…"

"Oh, you will not stay at the festival?", Mindy interrupted Talia. She was looking forward to being part of a group.
