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

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

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

Leia’s pov Mark’s out of the hospital and staying with his mom. She’s really overprotective and clingy, but he needs extra care right now. I can only do so much. I haven’t talked to Kate yet, I needed some time. I know it’s hard for her being stuck between me and Asher. I have been so angry. But mostly I’ve been feeling guilty. If I had just kept everything to myself, none of this would have happened. It wasn’t like Mark hurt me on purpose. Yes, he did pull on my arm. But no way he let go on purpose, making me fall. That would be crazy right? Mark loves me. I have been visiting Mark every afternoon after school. I didn’t see Kate at school all week and Sierra was asking about her too. But like I said, I needed some time. Mark has been home for a few days now and I was hoping to spend the whole day with him, since it’s Saturday. But he told me he’s feeling too tired and weak. So I decided to help out dad. At least it gives me something to do. Cleaning often clears my mind and I love

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
