Hi! Another chapter, because I had some time left. Hope you like it! Let me know if you think it's a dumb move for Asher to get so close to Leia.
Kate’s pov I loved Asher’s idea of getting everyone together. I saw the rest of our old group often, but not all together. But Leia didn’t seem to like the idea. “Why weren’t you excited for everyone to meet up?” I asked her when we were up in my room. Leia sighed, “I’d fucking love to see everyone. But I don’t want to overwhelm Mark.” “Are you sure that’s the only reason?” I asked. Leia laughed, “like you don’t have an ulterior motive? You just fucking want to see Sierra. What about the pact?” I pushed her softly, “I tried the pact okay? I dated Dani. But Sierra kept coming to the hospital and she looked so good and smelled so good. And I know. I know I shouldn’t. “ Leia looked down, “I kind of saw Asher flirt with Sierra. But then she left. Do you think there is something there?” I didn’t. Sierra and Asher were just friends, although the thought did hurt. “What about you, did the pact work? Are you over your crush?” I asked Leia. “Fuck. I thought I fucking was. Am I a bad p
Asher’s pov So Leia talked about me with Kate? I must have had an effect on her. I know Kate was trying to tell me more, but the only thing I heard was that Leia used to like me. Used to? Or maybe still a little? I had to see her and Mark together, to see what I was up against. Or no, to see what kind of douche he was and how I would beat his ass. I was just doing this to protect Leia. “You know I can read your mind right? Who are you kidding. You like her and you want her. You’re just getting rid of the competition.” Logan said. “So?” “So nothing. He sounds like an idiot and I love beating up idiots. So I’m in. With the part of getting rid off Mark, not with trying to get Leia into bed. I still think she deserves better than that.” Logan said. I agreed. Leia does deserve better than just being a fling. But why was it so hard to forget about her. I felt like if I had one kiss or something more, I might be able to forget about her. See that there were no sparks or whatever and jus
Sierra’s pov I was excited to see everyone and I knew my brother Roman was too. I think he was secretly even more excited, to be hanging out with older kids, that usually didn’t sit with him at school. I didn’t ignore him, he’s my brother. But he had his friends and I had mine. Roman and Rain came to the packhouse together, because they were playing soccer outside this morning. So I went by myself. I greeted Asher and then Kate, who looked really pretty. She always does look pretty, but she seemed to have made more of an effort today. While Asher was in a coma, I went by often. I felt bad for our fight and I wanted to make sure he was okay. I knew Asher was going through stuff and I would hate to have our friendship end because of some stupid mistake. Asher didn’t like me that way and I was thankful for it. It meant I didn’t have to chose between my dream and my mate. That I could still have my best friend with me through it all. Being a Beta wasn’t just something I wanted to do fo
Leia’s pov “Why did I have to meet these people? You should really choose better friends. Those teenage boys seemed fine, but they’re like fourteen and you are too old to hang out with them. Kate barely talked to me, well, she barely talks at all and Sierra was focused on everyone else but me. But then Asher, wow. I can’t believe he’s going to be the next Alpha. What a horrible person.” Mark said on our drive back. “We all grew up together and you know how Kate is. I told you, she gets very in her head around people and then she just shuts down. We all missed Asher and wanted to get together and they thought it was a perfect opportunity to meet you. And Asher is just Asher, he’ll grown on you, -“ Mark sighed, “I’m starting to see the reason why Kate barely talks. She probably can’t get a word in.” I looked down. “I’m only kidding, babe. Can’t you take a joke?” I wish today had gone better. Fuck, I wish I didn’t bring Mark honestly. I could have been able to talk with everyone and
Asher’s pov I wasn’t even gone one minute and my phone rang. “You can’t fucking tell anyone and you can’t hurt Mark.” Leia said. “The hell I won’t. He hurt you, Leia. He can’t get away with it.” I growled. “I’ll fucking handle it, Asher.” Leia said firmly. “And how will you handle that, princess?” “I’ll tell him if he hurts me again, I’ll dump his ass. I know for sure this was a mistake. You know how werewolves are. For fucks sake, how many time did you beat someone up when you were angry. He just wanted me to stay.” Leia said, dismissing the whole thing as if it was nothing. “I would never hurt someone I claimed to love. I would never hurt you.” “There are more ways than one to hurt someone, Ash.” Leia said softly. “Just promise me you won’t hurt him.” She added. “I can’t promise that,” I was already on my way to his friends place. “If you hurt Mark I will hate you for it. I don’t want to fucking hate you, but I’m asking you nicely. I’ll handle it and it will be fine. Eithe
Kate’s pov Asher really messed up, but I understood why he did it. I might have beaten up Mark too. But I didn’t have me wolf yet, so it would have been at least a bit more fair. Mark probably barely trained, so I would beat him easily. I wondered why Leia let herself get hurt. O no, I shouldn’t think that. That’s something you shouldn’t say or think when someone hurt their boyfriend or girlfriend. Leia was probably too shocked to do anything. She trained with me and despite being a half blood, she was actually a good fighter. But she hardly fought in real life, letting me or Asher fight with kids for her. I felt bad for not being there for Leia. She said they fought often, but was this something that happened more often? Surely not? What happened anyway, my brain was going crazy imagining their fights. When I arrived at school Leia was there and hugged me tightly. I secretly looked to see if she was still hurt, but her face had either already healed or she wore enough make-up to c
Asher’s pov “So we’re keeping you here a day longer, just until Easton has talked to everyone.” Dad said. “Really? You’re getting Easton involved?” Dad growled, “If it looks like I’m taking this seriously, I can probably get away with some minor punishment. Can't look like I’m playing favorites.” I winked at dad, “but you are, right?” Dad sighed, “goddess. You’re too much. But yes, I want you to still be able to become Alpha and that isn’t possible if I have to keep you locked up forever. So just stay here and I’ll fix this. But Ash?” “Yeah dad?” “You can’t do that again. You almost killed him. What happened? You’ve never gone this far.” I looked down, “Logan took over. He’s very protective of Leia. I wanted to teach Mark a lesson, but I lost control. She had bruises on her wrist and her head was hurt. You should have seen the way he talks to her, in front of people. Can you imagine how bad it gets when they’re alone? You should talk to Kate, see what she knows.” Dad raised an
Sierra’s pov I got a text message from Kate. I was so relieved she was still talking to me. I think I handled the whole thing wrong. “Asher would like to get your notes from school.” That didn’t sound that friendly, but at least she was still talking to me. Mom had always joked that Kate had a crush on me. I just thought she looked up to me. Like a big sister or something. I was so surprised when she kissed me, I couldn’t even move. Not that it wasn’t nice, but I didn’t like girls. I didn’t like Kate. Right? I had no idea what I liked or who. I was always too busy with training and school. And boys weren’t that interested in me, they all thought I’d be mated to Asher anyway. But in my future I had always pictured myself mated to a man. I wanted to be friends with Kate and now I think I ruined it. While Asher was in a coma I realized that our friends, were really his friends. And they weren’t as interesting as I thought. But Kate was so smart and when she let go of her anxiety she
