ASHLEYAs out of her mind as Andrea is, she is still my sister and I am loyal to her to a fault. So she has that at least.“No, I told them I was coming to meet you and since it was already late they decided to stay one more night.” I nod then looked away from her still refusing to look up and see what the others were up to.“Can you please not be mad?” she pleads. “I’ll explain later I promise.” I huff but still nod.She knows I can’t stay angry at her for long, not when she is the only person I have. She is my best friend or only friend if you mean it in the literal sense, all my other friends are her friends.“You better have a great ass explanation for all of this.” her lips stretch into a smile.“I do, believe me.”“Not to burst your bubble but we’re standing right here.” I look up when I hear the foreign voice, I meet eyes as blue as Arabella’s.Damn, they look alike. It is the other guy I haven’t met yet, he shoots me a smile seeing the perplexed expression on my face. The othe

ASHLEYI turn on my heels and walk through the open door, not bothering to wait and see his reaction.I really hope his eyes are narrowed and stupefied so he looks really stupid like he deserves to look for making me so weak in his presence.He would see who will be ready by seven tomorrow, it may be every other girl in this world but not me.Mum and dad have gone to bed when I reach our floor because it was extremely quiet and the lobby was almost empty with just a few people lingering.The receptionist, who always seems to have a smile on her face, acknowledges me with a nod.I don’t bother checking with Theo, I’m not really in the mood to answer the truckload of questions I’m sure he has. I might just burst into tears.I lift my shaky hands to my lips, not surprised to find them swollen. Again, I curse at him wishing I was some old witch in a vampire novel that can make his dick shrink and his hand break when he annoys me, sadly those things don’t exist and I’m just a normal teenag

LUCAArthur is still laughing at what I said. So I reached out and punched him in the arm.Never make fun of a frustrated man, especially if it is sexual frustration. They tend to be violent, I already see him limping with broken arms. He would heal fast of course but I just want to inflict pain on him.“That is completely different,”I roll my eyes taking note of the car stopping, the bright lights from the pack house are reflecting the inside of the car, we don’t seem bothered or even ready to step out.“How different?”“We decided to wait, you have no choice.” He points at me.“No wolf would want to wait months after meeting his mate, keep telling yourself that.” I don’t wait for him to think of a retort before I step out and start my walk to the front door.I hear his voice in my head annoying the hell out of me more.‘When you are on talking and not growling on a daily basis with your mate, I’ll take your word for it but I’ll have you know my mate would be long screaming my name

LUCAElliott is the first person I see when I reach the pack house, unlike some other packs where the alpha and every other notable member of the pack live in the pack house, it is more of a sorority or fraternity house however you choose to look at it for warriors and those in training.It is not mandatory because some of the pack warriors live in houses around the pack with their families or mates, while those that would rather not have to deal with it just live in the pack house where everything is taken care of.“What did the prickly old bastards say tonight?” I grunt inaudibly.“Same usual shit, now I have to deal with the fact that the rogues are holding sketchy meetings,” his mouth hangs open for a few seconds before he shakes his head and falls in step with me.I considered staying back in my office in the pack house and seeing all that has been going on. I know I haven’t paid all that attention to the pack in the past two days.“That doesn’t sound good,” he states the obvious

ASHLEYI don’t forget to pray for good luck seeing how yesterday ended for me and I wouldn’t want a repeat, there is something in my mind but I can’t pinpoint what it is. It must not be important.I put on a band t-shirt and pair it with skinny jeans, the weather is warm so I don't bother with any jacket and after staring at the mirror for more than five minutes I finally decide to put my hair up in a ponytail.Waiting for Andrea would be fruitless because she takes very long in the shower. I find the table they are sitting at in the small restaurant in the hotel."Morning mum, dad." I peck both of them on the cheeks before sitting in between Sam and Theo.The former sits up and smooches his mouth as though expecting a kiss, I roll my eyes then push the garlic bread I reached for into his mouth, he spits it out immediately making a gagging sound which gains our parent's attention."Sam!" Mun exclaims, giving him the look mothers give when you're doing something wrong in public and the
