I'll try to write tonight as well. if i have time. love to hear what you think. and thank you for all the new readers that have added my book.
Kate’s pov “Is it my fault? Is everything my fucking fault?” “Leia?” Leia had called me and she was barely audible, crying and talking very softly. “I am sorry, Kate. I’m so fucking sorry for everything.” “It’s okay. It’s not all your fault. You can’t control other people’s behavior. While I might not hate Asher, I don’t think he did the right thing.” I said. “I know. It wasn’t fair of me to put you in the middle. I just feel so damn guilty about everything. I’m so fucking mad at Asher, but also at myself.” “And at Mark?” I asked. “Sometimes,” she said so soft I could barely hear her. “He is being really sweet. Well, except for today. But he is in a lot of fucking pain, so I can guess why he gets upset sometimes.” “I’ve missed you.” I said, not wanting to ruin this by talking about Mark more. “Me too, Kat. My fucking kitty Kat.” She joked. “I’m not your kitty Kat, weirdo.” “Kat? Asher said you were skipping school and have been looking fucking miserable. His words not mine.
Asher’s pov After my first day at the farm, I ran into Leia on my way out. She looked really upset. I tried to talk to her, but I knew she didn’t want to have anything to do with me. “Are you okay, Leia?” “Don’t fucking talk to me.” “Call Kate. You’re not okay and she misses you. She is miserable and skipping school. Just call Kate. It’s not her fault, she’s just stuck in the middle.” Leia walked by me and gave me the middle finger. But I found out later that night that she did call Kate and that they made up. I wasn’t sure what was going on with Kate, there was probably more that she wasn’t telling me. But them not speaking to each other for a week, was something that wasn’t right. Kate and Leia had been best friends since they were born. Just like Sierra and me. Speaking of Sierra. She was the only one who visited me and I was pissed at my so called friends. I guess those shitheads only hung around because I was the next Alpha. But now that I was in trouble, they just left. W
Leia’s pov Why? Why the fuck did I let him kiss me. Things were going so well with me and Mark. He was talking about me being his mate. So why the fuck did I just kiss Asher back? I fucking cheated on Mark. Should I tell him? I got suddenly very scared. Yeah, it would be a good fucking idea at all, telling Mark, I had kissed the guy that almost beat him to death. One week before his fucking birthday. Fuck I was stupid. But you know who’s stupid too? Asher. Fucking Asher and his arrogant ass that just kisses people without warning. Well, he did warn me. Calling me princess and making my fucking knees weak. How is it, that one kiss from Asher makes me feel so much more than anything I’ve done with Mark?! Fuck, I shouldn’t think that. Shit. Mark is great. He is a great kisser. We don’t have sex, but we’ve done other stuff and he tries really hard. Does he try though? Or am I the only one giving and he is the fucker who receives everything? Because as many hand and blow jobs I have gi
Kate’s pov I’ve been seeing Leia a lot more. She used to go straight to Mark’s after school, but she seems to be avoiding him a bit. He’s is back at work too, so maybe that’s why? Or maybe it’s because he now has his wolf and things have changed. I wish Leia would tell me more, but she’s hesitant to talk to me about Mark and I feel like she’s hiding something. Of course my mind goes to dark places and thinking he’s hurting her again, but she isn’t showing any signs of it. Asher is being weird too, asking about Leia a lot. And he’s watching movies. He never watches movies, but suddenly he’s watching Star Wars and a bunch of other movies Leia usually talks about. It’s like he’s getting to know Leia better in his own weird way, but she hates him. So I don’t see the point. He doesn’t like her, does he? Maybe he's trying to find a way to make it up to her. “Kat? Are you lost in your fucking thoughts again?” Leia asked me. I laughed awkwardly, “I was actually thinking about you. You ha
trigger warning. violence, sexual abuse.Leia’s pov “So, Leia. I didn’t ask back then, but is something going on with you and Mark? Cause you’ve been spending a lot of fucking time at home compared to first.” Shit, dad had noticed it too. Was something wrong with me? Kate had said something and now dad too. This couldn’t be a fucking good sign if others noticed me avoiding Mark. Fuck. “We were moving a bit too fucking fast, I guess. It’s going well, I just needed some space?” I said. It was the closest to the truth I could say to my dad, without telling him about losing my fucking virginity. “I love you, princess and I want the fucking best for you and if Mark is anything less than that, you can tell me.” Dad said. “It’s not that, dad. I think it’s just him getting his wolf and all that mate talk. I’m only sixteen and it feels like I’m promising myself to someone for fucking ever. It’s all just a fucking lot. “ Dad laughed, “you don’t have to stay with the first boyfriend you ha
Asher’s pov “I just called her and she was at Mark’s. So I thought I’d tell her over the phone, so she could confront him or break up.” Kate said, sounding unsure. “But I think I made a mistake. What if she confronts him and he hurts her? I should have waited, but I was scared she might have sex with him or do something she’d regret. I don’t know. Asher, what should I do? Should I call her again?” “We’re going to Mark’s house.” I said and I walked out, while Kate ran behind me. I didn’t trust Mark at all. And I knew how pissed off Leia could get. If she pushed the wrong buttons, who knows what Mark might do. I had to get her out of there. Maybe punch Mark once for good measure. “Or more than once,” Logan growled. I drove as fast as I could. We went to that friends house, but he told me Mark was staying at his mom and gave me the address, after I threatened him. Luckily Mark’s moms house wasn’t that far away and I knocked on the door impatiently. I had told Kate to wait in the car
Siera’s pov “Are you sure you want to do this today? We can wait a week or more. Asher was arrested and with everything that’s going on.” Beta Damian asked me. “No, it’s fine. It’s a nice distraction actually. Numbers are easy and they calm me.” Damian laughed, “don’t say that to Alpha Osiris. They have the opposite effect on him. You’re dad was the same. He didn’t mind doing the accounting for the pack.” I smiled at Damian, he had been training me for the last few weeks. Well, I’ve been shadowing him some days a week and he lets me do some small tasks now and then. Today that task is finances. There is a long excel sheet of finances that I have to sort through. I put my headphones on, put some music on and went to work. I didn’t think Asher was capable of doing to Mark what they said he did. I only heard a few things, but from what I heard, Mark was tortured before being killed. Asher did have some anger issues, but beating someone up was very different than skinning someone. I
Leia’s pov I was putting on a brave face, but everything that happened was a fucking lot. I wasn’t just dealing with being beaten and almost sexually assaulted by someone I thought fucking loved me. I couldn’t even be angry with him, because he fucking died. My dad says I should talk to someone or maybe doctor fucking Angela, but I am in no mood for therapy. I want my body to heal first, those ribs hurt a whole fucking lot whenever I laugh, cry or just fucking breath. And I hate having my arm in a cast. It’s my right arm too, so I can’t even fucking write. Okay, pity party is over. Right not we need to figure out who killed Mark. “Honey? Are you okay?” Mom said softly. She had been tiptoeing around me and it was getting on my fucking nerves. I didn’t need to be babied. Especially not when this whole thing was my fucking fault. Everyone warned me about Mark, but I stupidly stayed. “I’m fine, mom. I’m hanging out with Sierra and Kate today, okay?” “Be careful, if you start to feel
