Kate’s pov Dani was really nice and she talked so much, that I barely had time to answer her. Part of me like how much she talked, it meant there weren't any akward silences, but it didn’t leave much room for me to say anything. I didn't like how she pulled me away from Sierra. I wasn’t even finished talking and didn’t say goodbye. It was nice seeing the pack through Dani’s eyes though. I have grown up here, so I’m used to it. But Dani made me remember how nice the Iron River pack really is. We have this big city, that’s located in a very large forest. There are trees and playgrounds everywhere, it’s nothing like most human towns. Lot’s of green, as if the houses were build to accommodate the forest instead of the other way around. We stopped by Ela’s and Ariel’s bakery, called Cookies and Chai for some Chai latte’s and cookies. It was nice to see Ela and Ariel. I had seen them during the dinner for uncle Riker, but we didn’t talk that much that night. Ela was mated to Easton, the

Kate’s pov “So tell me what happened while I was in a damn coma?” Asher asked. “They looked for your killer and , -“ Asher stopped me, “no, what happened with you and everyone?” I smiled, it was nice seeing Asher show some interest in my life. “I was dating this girl Dani. I broke it off. It was getting to hard to spend time with her and I don’t think she liked having a chaperone all the time.” I said. “Chaperone?” Asher asked confused. “Mom was really worried someone would try to hurt me us. So dad assigned security to me and Sierra. And to you, there is someone posted outside this room right now.” I was so happy Asher was awake and he was being so nice. It’s not like he wasn’t nice before, but we didn’t talk that much. He was busy with his friends and girlfriends. He also changed after Beta Riker died, he was angry a lot of the time. But this felt like my old brother again. He was easier to talk to this way, I didn’t have to think about my words so much. Or maybe I was just

Leia’s pov “Asher woke up. He’s fine. He asked about you.” I just got a text from Kate and Asher was fine. Asher fucking asked about me? After he woke up? That’s really nice. I stared ahead, thinking of what to reply, thinking about what I would do if I ran into Asher. Would I give him a hug? The thought gave me a weird feeling in my stomach. I was over my crush, wasn't I? I was busy typing a reply, when Mark stopped me. “You know Leia, it’s really rude when you’re staring at your phone while I’m here.” Mark said annoyed, ripping the phone from my hands. “It’s Asher, he woke up. Leia just send me a text.” Mark faked a smile. “That’s great. Why didn’t you tell me?” “I only just found out. I was just sending a text back.” I replied with a friendly tone. “You don’t need to get so defensive Leia. I just asked. Why is it, that the mention of his name always does something to you?!” “I wasn’t defensive. I just told you I only found out. I wanted to write something back before tellin

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

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
