Naomi D.I really like what Kate did for Asher and Leia. Hope you did too. Next chapter will be from Asher's pov. Let's see how he reacts to everything. I'd love to visit the US sometimes. but my bf is scared to go. he's black and with all the shootings in the news, it sounds like a scary place to go. it's weird. As a white person I didn't really think about these things, but now since I've been with him, we have to consider where we go on holiday. he gets stopped more at airports in some countries, gets asked questions, while they just let me go, even though we're walking together. last time we came back they asked me if he was my husband, without even looking at him. we were there with our kids. who else would he be?!

Asher’s pov I took a shower, feeling so stressed out about everything. I just saw another dead body, which made me remember Riker. It was just too much. So much had happened in a short period of time and I needed a break. I needed Leia. “You need her close,” Logan confirmed. I knew somehow that her being close would help us both. That just her scent would calm me down. And I needed to know she was okay. Especially after thinking it was Leia, who was hanging in that tree. It was only a second, but the thought replayed in my head. Was Leia capable of taking her own life? I really hope not. I heard Kate’s voice while I grabbed a towel, but then the door closed. She must have been looking for me. I opened the bathroom door, wearing a towel around my waist and walked to the closet to grab something. Shit, I must be really needing Leia close, because I was even imagining smelling her. It smelled a bit like Kate’s shea butter cream, but the more I sniffed the air, the more I thought it s

Trigger warning. Depression. Suicidal thoughts. Self-harm. Leia’s pov I feel like shit. It’s the only fucking way to describe it. Some of it was the pain, my ribs, fingers and wrist hurt at first. But when I started to heal, I missed the pain. The pain distracted me from my fucking thoughts. And they were getting darker every fucking minute. The only way to stop myself from thinking these things, was to sleep. I was so fucking tired anyway and sleeping was like disappearing for a while. Everything was too much. I wasn’t paying attention at school, but mom and dad were forcing me to fucking go. I couldn’t concentrate, I could barely fucking function. When I did have time to think I would replay every fucking thing in my head. I would think about hurting myself, anything to stop myself from feeling so fucking bad. This whole fucking mess was my fault. I stayed with Mark. I didn’t fucking see what he was, even when everyone warned me. I made that stupid fucking pact to begin with. An

Asher’s pov Leia fell asleep on top of my chest and when I woke up she practically covered my entire body with hers. I didn’t mind at all. “She is helping you. You sound better already.” Logan said happily. I did feel a lot calmer and I could actually sleep with Leia around me, but I was pretty sure that seeing a girl hung up on a tree, wasn’t something I would forget so easily. Not to mention everything that happened before. Leia was still asleep on top of me. I wondered if she had nightmares too. And why she slept so much. I hoped she would stay longer. Cyrus didn’t seem to mind and maybe I could help Leia too. I breathed in her scent and softly traced lines on her back and arms. Her skin was so soft. I loved how it looks against mine. “Like chocolate and vanilla,” Logan joked. When Leia woke up she got off me right away, looking mortified. “Sorry, fuck. I used you as a fucking pillow. Did I fucking drool on you? So sorry.” I laughed loudly, “I didn’t mind it one bit. You ca

Kate’s pov Leia has been staying at the packhouse for almost a week now. She says it’s just because she’s too lazy to go home, but I’m sure she’s pretending to not want to be here, because she’s been looking a lot better. She’s actually eating too and her hair isn’t starting to turn into one big dreadlock anymore. Mom and dad gave her a spare room to sleep in. I think Cyrus doesn’t really like his little girl sleeping with a guy. Even if it is Asher. But every morning I see her door open and I know where she has really been sleeping. Asher is looking better too. The bags under his eyes are gone and he’s smiling more. Today he asked me for some help to surprise Leia. I have never seen Asher be this way around a girl, beside Sierra, Amelia and me. But with Leia he’s different. He is so sweet around her, but also very strict. He is making her eat and shower. He’s been driving her to school and back. Goddess, if he could he would sit with her in class. Everyone at school is behaving

Sierra’s pov I’ve been dating Tyler. We’re taking things slow and he’s a great guy. In a few months’ time we’ll find out if he’s my mate or not. He would be a great mate. He is sweet, he doesn’t mind that I have a bigger career in my future than he does and he is a great kisser. We haven’t done anything more yet, although I feel like we could soon. There is a part of me that holding back for some reason. Maybe it’s the same part that gets angry every time I see Mic and Kate hang out. Mic is always touching Kate and they seem so happy together. That should make me happy too right? But it doesn’t. It pisses me off. I’m sure Mic is nice and all, but I just want to beat her up, every time I see her stupid face. I guess I just want better for Kate. Mic isn’t good enough. Yeah, that must be it. I’m angry every time I see Kate. Angry at her for choosing Mic, for getting over me so quickly. She used to have this big crush on me for years and in like a few days it’s just gone?! And she choo

Leia’s pov I have no fucking clue why I let Asher, Kate and Sierra to this whole make-over for me. It wasn’t like it would fucking work. Like Mark said, no amount of lipstick would stop me from being a pig. Not a real fucking pig of course, I was well aware that I was not thick enough. I didn’t have fucking boobs or an ass. I might as well be a fucking boy, I was the same size as a twelve year old anyway. Stop it, Leia! I told myself, trying to focus on Asher’s hand on my scalp. I had loved staying here. Asher made me eat, he would help me with everyday tasks that were too hard for me and he was so sweet. Like too fucking sweet, I didn’t deserve that. It was my fault Asher was even in this whole mess. He said I was here to help him, but I didn’t do jack shit. All I did was sleep in his bed and let him take care of me. Maybe taking care of me made him feel better? Like he would feel like a fucking hero, rescuing the poor abusive victim? Nah, that doesn’t sound like Asher. Every nig

Asher’s pov Goddess, Leia looked too good with her new hair. And then she stood in my room in just her underwear. I wanted to touch her, wanted to put my mouth on her little pink nipples and make her moan my name. But she wasn’t ready. “We will have her, one day.” Logan said reassuringly. He had more confidence than I did. But for now I just wanted Leia to be well. Too feel good about herself. After we ate dinner together, we crawled into bed and she placed her red hair on my chest. Sorry, burgundy. It’s all the same to me, but it looked really good. “Goodnight, princess.” I said as I kissed the top of her head. “I’ll miss you when you go home tomorrow.” Leia turned as red as her hair. She almost whispered, “me too.” “What did you say, Leia? I didn’t hear you,” I teased her. “You fucking heard me. Now go to sleep.” She growled. “That’s my girl.” I said laughing. She wasn’t mine. But I wanted her to be, so badly. She didn't contradict me though. We fell asleep and I had no ni

Leia’s pov My mom practically ran towards me when I arrived back at the farm. She must be really fucking excited to see me. It made me feel guilty for thinking about hurting myself. Mom, dad and I talked for a while until I left for my room. I told them about the week. How I had slept a lot. How Asher had forced me to eat and shower like some fucking prison guard, but a nice one. Which made dad laugh and how they gave me make-over. I didn’t tell them shit about sleeping in Asher’s bed every night though or the conversations we would have together. I don’t think dad and mom knew what Mark had done to me. They knew he had hurt me, but not the rest. Nothing really happened, but it was going too. And well, fucking hell. It felt silly that I was so fucking traumatized, by something that almost happened. But I was scared shitless that night. Goddess, don’t start thinking about that now. There were a lot of people that cared for me. I fucking realized that this week. Kate, my kitty Kat, m
