Ashton's POV

I leaned back against my car, arms crossed, waiting for Rosie to finish up with work. Since I had volunteered to be her Chaffeur, I had to stick to it.

It was 5:46pm. Rosie did close by 6 pm. But I had gotten here 15 minutes earlier because she hated staying extra minutes at work.

The evening sun cast a golden glow over the parking lot, and I watched as workers trickled out, chatting amongst themselves, laughing and stretching after what I imagined was a long day. But Rosie hadn't come out yet.

I had nothing to do but to sit and wait in my chevrolet, I'll text Rosie once the time hits 6 pm. Suddenly, my mind wandered back to that dinner, the one that had started off uneventful until Dominic's sudden outburst.

Dominic really did have a way of pulling everyone's attention to him.

The way he banged the table, the tension that had seized the room like a vice grip. Everyone might have found it shocking or terrifying, but I had found it funny.

    ROSIEXylus is the best. Tell me-why else would I sleep on the couch and wake up in bed?Yesterday was refreshing-I mean, tears, a brotherly hug, and an early bedtime. But my alarm reminds me there's more to life than sobs and sniffles.Half-awake, half-asleep, I rub the crust from my dried eyes and complete my morning routine like a zombie. Remind me again why I have to wake up? I ask myself, and that tiny voice in my head answers right back-because you finally got your dream internship you were literally dying for?Yeah, right. I head downstairs, my nose immediately picks up the spicy aroma of bacon and eggs, my stomach churning right on time to remind me of the single doughnut I had yesterday.True to it, Xylus has his back to me, hands moving over the gas stove. He has on another one of his annoying chef caps and an outrageously long apron. I roll my eyes, a grin forming as I step into the kitchen."Remind me to get rid of your ugly collection of aprons and caps in the future.""

    CHAPTER 34Rosie's POVAshton’s lips were soft.Safe.It felt like he was offering me comfort and not asking for more. It felt comforting, not wild or desperate, not like the kiss I had shared with Dominic that felt like it could set the world on fire. This one was gentle, and for a moment, I let myself melt into it.But as his lips moved against mine, I felt the cold spread through my chest, not warmth.Because this wasn’t where I was supposed to be.This couldn't all be happening at once. What was I doing?What the hell was I becoming?I had just been curled up on Dominic’s chest not even an hour ago, listening to the heartbeat of a man who didn’t want me, and now I was letting his brother kiss me?My heart pounded. Shame coated my throat like poison.I pulled back like I was yanking myself from a dream I shouldn’t have dared to dream in the first place. My breath caught in my throat as I stared at him, his expression confused, worried, and something else I couldn’t name."I-I can'

    Ashton's POVRosie was storming off the pack house when I had bumped into her.My arms caught her before she could fall.She was shaking. I held her arms to steady her."Whoa there." I said with a soft grin. "Didn't expect to catch you running from detention like a fugitive."She blinked at me. "I... I didn't mean to... I was just..." She stammered.'You look like someone who survived her first detention." I said gently.I didn't ask questions. I felt that since this was the first time she's serving punishment, it could be very difficult.Unplanned, I swept her off her feet.We were bestfriends, of course, my job is to always lighten up the mood. "Ashton, what are you d-?". She gasped."Taking you somewhere safe." I chuckled. Obviously, my room. She didn't resist, good girl. She just relaxed. She trusted me.I had gotten to my room, after the stares of couple of stunned pack members who probably wondered what the hell was going on.My warm, cozy, dimly-lit room.I placed her gently

    CHAPTER 36Rosie's POVWhen I got home, Xylus was slumped on the couch, his phone dangling from one hand, dark circles framing his tired eyes. He looked like he hadn't slept in a day."Long day?" I asked gently, dropping my bag by the door.He gave me a half-hearted grunt, tossing his phone aside like it had personally offended him. "You have no idea. Pack affairs are a disaster right now. Between the border tension and..."He paused, pinching the bridge of his nose."And what?" I asked, walking toward the kitchen. I grabbed two water bottles from the fridge and tossed one to him.He caught it, cracked it open, and took a long gulp. "Dominic's wedding."I froze mid-step.My breath caught."His what?" My voice was a whisper, but it sliced through the air like a blade.Xylus looked at me with a touch of confusion. "His wedding. He's marrying Cassie. The announcement went out this morning. She's already breathing down everyone's neck about preparations."I stared at him, waiting for the
