Asher’s pov
I woke up with a massive headache. What the hell happened last night? How much did I have to drink? I didn’t remember much after Ela and Ariel brought the cake out.
“You drank a whole lot of alcohol. Like way too much. And then you threw up and passed out in bed. Do you know how hard it is for a werewolf to get blackout drunk? We can heal, dumbass.” Logan growled, clearly annoyed with me.
I had some vague memories of the night. I remembered seeing Leia in Kate’s dress and thinking things that I shouldn’t. She was sixteen and my sister’s best friend, so I wasn’t going to try anything with her. It would never work anyway. The Moon Goddess would never mate a half blood with an Alpha. And I wasn’t going to just have sex with her and then go to the next. My dad and Cyrus would kill me. Kate would kill me.
I never thought about Leia this way. But she did really look good. Good enough for me to quickly turn my head. She was off limits and tonight was about uncle Riker. Not about me wanting to have sex with my sister’s best friend, because she looked good in a dress.
“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Thinking something is no problem, just don’t act on them.” Logan had warned me nicely.
Everyone shared memories at the dinner table, but the only memory that kept repeating in my mind was the day he died. Seeing his lifeless body and then seeing my dad kill that hunter. I would do anything to forget about that day.
I really thought once I got my wolf, that I would be fine. That I wouldn’t be plagued by that day.
“Yeah, doesn’t really work like that.” Logan said. “And alcohol or beating someone up, won’t work either. Although I do prefer that method to drinking.”
I showered and brushed my teeth twice, trying to get rid of that nasty taste of alcohol and puke. There was something that I tasted or smelled last night that was really delicious, but I couldn’t remember what. Must have been the desert Ela and Ariel made. I had a hard time remembering, especially with that goddess awful smell in my mouth.
The taste of alcohol stayed. I really needed some mouthwash. Maybe Kate had some, her bedroom was next to mine.
I knocked on her door, but there was no answer. She was probably already eating breakfast. So I opened the door and walked straight in.
“Kate, I need some mouthwash. And some painkillers. Do you have any?”
There was no answer, but I heard the shower run, so she was probably taking a shower. In the past I might have walked into the bathroom, but once my sister got breasts it was kind of awkward. She valued her privacy and I mine. To think for years I wanted nothing more than to share a room with her. My parents had offered us separate rooms, but I wanted to be close to my baby sister.
The sound of the shower stopped and after a few minutes the bathroom door opened.
“Took you long enough. Kate, do you have some painkillers and mouthwash?” I said.
“Don’t be a baby, you will be healed from that hangover after breakfast.” Logan said.
But it wasn’t Kate that was coming out of the bathroom, but Leia. Her lavender hair dripping on her shoulders and a tiny towel around her body. I thought about tearing the towel off and throwing her on the bed, but I didn’t. She smelled really good too, but Leia probably just used the shea butter Kate uses.
Leia blushed bright red and tried to pull the towel up, covering her breast more. “There is mouthwash in the bathroom, wait.”
When she turned around I saw she pulled the towel a bit too high, showing off part of her perfect little ass. Shit. She was making this really hard for me. Why did she have to get so fucking hot all of a sudden? She used to be a geeky little girl, that swore way too much and made me laugh.
Leia came out with a bottle of mouthwash.
“Thank Leia.” I said taking it from her.
“So about last night, -“ Leia started.
“I didn’t say anything dumb to you right? I don’t really remember anything from last night, I was really drunk. Sorry.”
Leia looked really sad and quickly turned around, grabbing some clothes from the bed. She ducked when one of her socks fell and I had too look. I knew I shouldn’t, but just one peak. Her ass was on full display and I could even see part of her pink lips between her legs.
I really shouldn’t have looked, because I was rock hard and glad she wasn’t facing me. I knew when we were kids Leia had a bit of a crush on me and I wondered if she still did. Maybe I could just have one taste, -
“She’s off limit, remember.” Logan growled.
“You’re really grumpy today.” I replied.
“You really shouldn’t have drank that much. It’s not just your body that feels the effects.” Logan replied, still pissed.
“Fine, I won’t drink like that anymore.” I said, knowing Logan was right.
“Thanks for the mouthwash, princess.” I said, a nickname her dad always calls her.
Leia didn’t reply or turned around to face me, as I walked out of my sister’s bedroom. I must have said something or done something for her to look so sad. I should apologize, but I didn’t even know what for exactly. But I knew I really messed up by the look on Leia's face.
Kate’s pov The dinner was nice. I know that’s weird to say about a dinner that is in memory of someone’s death, but it was really nice. Nice to remember Riker together, to share memories, to see everyone. To see Sierra. She looked really beautiful and she was always really kind to me. She treated me more like a little sister than a friend, but to her, I probably felt like one. I noticed Asher was drinking a lot though. This day was always hard on him, but when I tried to talk to him about it, he stormed off. Ash didn’t come back to the dining hall, but Leia did and she looked really weird. Like in a sort of trance almost. She didn’t want to tell me what happened with everyone there, werewolves have very good hearing, so I asked her to spend the night. Maybe she would tell me when we were alone. Leia finally admitted that Asher had kissed her and I didn’t know if I was pissed at Asher or happy for Leia. Probably both. Leia always had a crush on Asher and this must have felt like a d
Asher’s pov “I am surprised you called me, I thought you were busy?” Morana said. Honestly, the only reason I called Morana or Mona as she asked to be called, was because I knew she was a sure thing. And after seeing Leia today and having those impossible thoughts, I needed someone to distract me. Mona was pretty and sexy as hell. The first time I met her, she started flirting with me right away. She had no shame in telling me what she wanted and I found that really hot. She was a year older than me, but that didn’t bother her. But something was telling me to stay away from her, like she was dangerous. That’s why I blew her off last time she invited me out. “And yet, here we are,” Logan said, clearly finding my choice very dumb. He was still grumpy, because I drank too much. “And because you are ignoring your instincts. They are there for a reason. If someone feels dangerous, they probably are.” Logan added. “Dangerous can be sexy,” I replied, but Logan didn’t even bother to ans
Kate’s pov Leia and I arrived at the farm and Cyrus put us to work right away. “We have some new workers and I need you to fucking keep an eye out.” He told Leia, “you know what I do and don’t accept. No fucking slacking and what is the most important to me?” “That they treat the animals fucking nicely.” Leia said. “Don’t let your mom hear you swear that fucking much, but yes. So let’s go. Kate? You okay with working too?” I nodded, “yes, Cyrus.” “Okay, you want to help Leia out or you want to brush the horses?” he asked nicely. Cyrus was always really nice to me, especially after uncle Riker died. Or he was just happy that I was a good friend to his daughter. Or maybe he felt pity for me, because I barely talked and didn’t have any friends besides Leia. I could imagine thousand of reasons why he was nice, but it didn’t matter why I guess. I was just happy he was. Leia looked at me, like she knew what I was going to say, “just go brush the fucking horses. I know you like them.
Leia’s pov What happened with Asher had made me think. What if the way I dress is why I’m not dating anyone? I fucking like my style, but it took one of Kat’s dresses for Asher to finally see me. Maybe I should stop dressing like my old man and instead dress like my mom. I know how that sounds, okay. But my mom is fucking cool. She still looks fucking nice and she always wears nice dresses and shit. Mom’s been asking me to go shopping anyway. So it’s a win win. I’ll have her off my back and I get some new clothes. After I showered, to get the dogs poo smell out of my hair, I went to see my mom. Who was busy getting dinner ready, while my dad was bothering her. That man is obsessed with his wife. Like non stop touching her, even now. “Mom, can we go shopping for some new outfits after school? I was thinking of getting some dresses and stuff,” I asked, trying to sound casual. Mom got really excited, “yes! A girls day. I can’t wait. “We’re just getting some clothes mom, don’t make
Sierra’s pov Asher asked me to meet up with him, he’s been having a hard time. His dad has been on him all week. Although knowing Asher, he probably had some part in the whole thing. When I arrived at the packhouse they were arguing once again. “Asher, you told your mother you’d stop fighting. And then you’re slacking off at school?” Uncle Osiris said. Asher sighed, “dad, you already told me that last week. I know! I am trying.” Uncle Osiris shook his head, “that’s why you skipped school yesterday?” “It’s not important, school is almost finished.” Asher said, like he didn't care at all. “Asher! You’re the next Alpha of this pack. You have to be the example for the rest.” I heard Asher stand up from his seat, “well, screw being the example. Who cares about school. Being an Alpha has nothing to do with brains, that’s why you have you Kate.” Uncle Osiris sighed, “you know that’s not true. You’re smart too.” Asher shook his head, “I need to go, Sierra is here.” “I don’t know wha
Leia’s pov I told mom about my plans with Mark. I knew she wouldn’t like it, but if she found out later that I went behind her back, she definitely would hate it more. Besides, we were just going to get lunch. I might be fucking desperate to date someone else than Asher, I wasn’t stupid and I sure as fuck wouldn’t go home with someone after one date. Mom even helped me pick out an outfit. She also did my make-up and my hair. I think she secretly loved that I fucking needed her for this. I sometimes felt bad, I was so much closer to my dad that my mom must feel left out sometimes. I drove myself to the lunchroom. I wasn't fucking dumb enough to let Mark pick me up here. Mark was waiting for me outside, but when we walked in, I spotted Asher and Sierra together. They weren’t on a date right? No, I thought, they are just friends. But even if they were, it was none of my business. “You look really pretty, Leia. So you how many outfits did you buy? One for each date?” Mark said when we
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
Asher’s pov I was stupid to flirt with Sierra. Maybe she would be my mate, but I was pretty sure she wasn’t. Shouldn’t you feel some attraction to your mate, even before you get yourself wolf? “Yeah and you got me already and I’m not getting any romantic vibes from her.” Logan said, agreeing with me. So why did I do it then? “To make Leia jealous stupid. You can’t be with her, but yet you don’t want her to be with anyone else. Kind of selfish really,” Logan pointed out. “Can’t you be supportive for once and not insult me? I get that enough from dad.” I sighed. When Sierra left it was just me, staring at Leia and Mark and hearing him talk about boring things. He really liked the sound of his voice and was talking loudly, as if he owned the place. Leia was smiling at him and I hated that Mark could make her smile this way. Just as I was about to leave, Mona came in. Shit, if today wasn’t bad enough. “Hi, Asher. Please just give me a second to explain.” She said, sounding desperat
