Waking up beside Asher felt good, it had to be one of the nicest sleeps I’ve had in a long time. Since everything I was forced to endure back home, I always felt lost and scared when I would wake up alone. But when I awoke today, the feeling of belonging engulfed my entire being and I felt free in a sense.Asher would normally, leave to get some important work done but today he didn’t. We woke up around lunchtime where he told me there would be no point starting work late, so he gave himself a day off to spend it with me. Asher and I actually hadn’t spent a day together since I arrived here, he always has to leave to get whatever work done. So, when he told me he’d be able to stay with me, I got extremely excited.We agreed that after we both ate, he would give me an overdue tour of the entire pack. I had been hoping somebody would show me around so next time I was alone, I would know the great spots to sit and have a peaceful time with myself.It was also the first time I’ve eaten so

Asher and I walk out first, he held tightly onto my hand as though he was worried, I was about to make a run for it. But that thought didn’t cross my mind even once, I wanted to see these people which everyone hates so much and who might also hate me before they know me. Becky and Cameron walked behind us, none of us daring to utter a word from the anticipation from what these people may want.I was unsure if they had given a reason for their arrival, let’s hope it’s not to declare that Becky must leave now she’s in a pack with a human for Luna.We soon arrive in the lobby area of the pack house, two older looking people standing by one of the sofas looking around the walls. By the looks on their faces, I knew the walls and the many features around were the topic of their conversation. But they soon look over and spot us, their eyes instantly going to me as I held Asher’s hand.“Good evening, Mr and Mrs Warren.” Asher says making us come to a stop right in front of them, they both tur

In no time at all, Asher and I left his house begin our walk a little way down the road to Cameron and Becky’s. Asher explained as Cameron is the Beta, he also has a pretty nice house, but he was sure to remind me, his house was still the biggest in the pack. I couldn’t help but laugh at this, he seems to be very proud of that fact.As we walk hand in hand through the woods, I couldn’t wipe the smile off my lips. For the first time in months, I was genuinely happy. When I was on the trip with the guys, there were many happy moments that I’ll treasure for the rest of my life, but I still couldn’t shake the sad feeling. I knew deep down that the trip was only a little break from the chaos and pain, after it was finished, I would be forced back home where all of the reminders of what had happened would be right in front of me.But now I’m here and have learnt why, I know this is a complete fresh start where nobody knows what happened in my past. None of them will feel pity towards me as

I stare at him for what felt like a lifetime, he stood with his hands in his pockets looking around the built-up town. This didn’t surprise me, he was always the same, a carefree guy who would rather people watch than stare at his phone. Apparently, you see more when you just look up from the device than any website or video the internet world has to offer! Yes, he’s one of those people. The last time I saw him was over a year ago, he and his girlfriend Sharon had left to go travelling the world. They arguably got that idea from me and Tanya, but that’s neither here nor there.Connor and I have always been close friends, he is also from Boscastle and after Tanya and I moved to London, he used the excuse that he didn’t want to leave two defenceless women all alone in London to make his exit. I didn’t buy his excuse for even a second, he wanted out of that small village more than anyone. The day he showed up at our door, he thanked me for giving him the opening to leave before he rented

Somewhere in my floods of tears, Asher had picked me up and carried me to the bedroom, so I wasn’t laying on the floor right in front of the door. I was unclear on why these feelings had resurfaced, this is the same way I acted when Scott first passed away, but now months later, I thought I was passed it. But for some reason when Connor brought him up, it knocked me right back to where I was.When I was at home, I knew my friends and family made it a point not to bring him up or what had happened. They knew if I dare even spoke about it, I would be on the floor in a complete mess. Looking back, they ensured and made it a point to remove anything which related to Scott away from my sight. I was never left alone; it was either my parents or my friendship group at my apartment just sitting with me or hugging me as I cried. I will be forever thankful to all of the sacrifices they made for me; I wouldn’t have been able to get through those initial months if it weren’t for them.Asher had s
