Asher’s pov “I’m really proud of you both, but also angry for disobeying me.” dad said. “But mostly proud, right?” I joked. Kate shook her head and rolled her eyes, “Asher.” Dad actually laughed, “yes. I am mostly proud of you both.” He then looked at Kate, “don’t ever go down there again, without me present okay?” Kate nodded, “okay, daddy.” She always called him daddy if he was angry, because he would turn into freaking potty in her hands. She always was a daddy’s girl. “But you did get your answers, thanks to her.” Logan said. “Yeah, I don’t know what Kate wants to do when she finishes high school. But otherwise, I’d have a spot for her as my advisor or whatever Beta Damian was, before he became the Beta.” “Pack scholar?” Logan said, unsure. I suddenly remembered, “pack advisor!” I hate when I forget something and it keeps nagging at me, until I remember. Leia and Sierra were sitting in the living room, talking, when Kate and I came in. “I’m so sorry, uncle Osiris was t

Leia’s pov “Hey, where the fuck did Sierra go?” I asked Kate. I had promised I’d spend a few hours with her after training and expected Sierra to still be here. Kate sighed, “we had this moment and for a second I thought she was going to kiss me. But the whole thing just reminded me of the last time I thought she was going to kiss me. I can’t be this close to her. Have her in my bed and holding my face in her hands. Telling me I’m perfect and beautiful. It’s too painful.” “She did fucking what?” Kate shook her head, “I told her how I felt about my scar and she was just trying to be nice. But she said everything I would want her to say, if things were different. I didn’t want to ruin things again by reading too much into it.” It made me think. Why the fuck was Sierra being so touchy feely with Kat? “Show me.” Kate raised an eyebrow. “Fucking show me what she did. I need to know if it was you, misinterpreting things or if she is sending you mixed fucking signals. “So we were bo

Sierra’s pov “Thanks?” I heard Asher say. I was walking to Kate’s room to see if she had woken up, when I heard her say she was going to try and stop being in love with me. I couldn’t go in now, that would be really awkward. And why did it hurt? I wanted her to be my friend. “Maybe you don’t,” Grace said. “Can’t you tell me what I’m supposed to do? Can’t you tell me how I know if I have feelings for Kate?” “You have to figure that out for yourself,” Grace said, “but you’d better do it soon, because Kate might fall out of love with you if you take too long.” I stood in the corridor of the hospital, not sure what to do, when Asher came out holding Leia over his shoulder. “You heard Kate?” Asher asked, seeing me pace the hallway. Asher put Leia down and they walked towards me. I nodded, “yeah, I did.” “It didn’t fucking help that you said she was beautiful and almost kissed Kat.” Leia said. “I didn’t, -“ “Yeah you fucking did. But she is not going to wait for fucking ever for

Kate’s pov I had the best dream ever while I was in the hospital. I guess it was the drugs, but it felt so vivid. Sierra kissed me and asked me to wait for her. She would never do that. And I would never tell her how I felt. I would never be this open. I hadn’t told Leia about my dream. I would probably, at some point. But she was dealing with enough. Asher just left last week and I knew she was trying to be strong for him. She was driving me insane though, because she had made it her mission to help me walk again. I was doing physical therapy and I was getting more feeling in my legs every day. But I lacked strength and my back hurt, trying to walk hurt. Honestly it really hurt, so I had to take things slow. School had started and I hated, absolutely hated using my wheelchair. But I wasn’t there yet. I could use a walker for two steps, but that was it. And I wanted to do well, my last year. I wanted to have good grades so I could go to college. No idea what I wanted to study yet.

Asher’s pov The weekend with Leia was great, but saying goodbye was just as hard as the first time. Luckily I had Sierra to distract me, because she was just telling me about accompanying my niece to the movies. “Promise you won’t tell your aunt? Because if Sue finds out I told you, she will never trust me again.” I rolled my eyes, “should I pinky swear?” Sierra slapped my arm, “you’re her nephew, you sure you want to hear it all?” I sighed, “I don't really care. Just tell me.” Logan laughed inside my head, “don’t lie, you love gossip just as much as your parents.” Sierra smiled, “so, your so called ‘innocent’ niece, is the female you. Her dad is worried about her, saying she shouldn’t date? Scared of her friend, ‘the player,” she said, using air quotes. Goddess, she was really dragging this story out. She had mindklinked me in the weekend and told me she had some exciting to tell me on Monday when I was back. I thought it would be about work. Sierra was dedicated, a bit too m
