Chapter 38

Finley’s POV

“He can help. I know it,” I told Asher again. For days, we’ve been discussing whether to ask Coach Carter for his help in our search for Maria.

Coach Carter. A man who has just arrived from Beta Academy. Seems to have the student’s best interests at heart. Our best interest. At Alpha Academy, no one has ever shown support for our sibling bond. He’s different and has earned my respect. But like Asher says, “he is a stranger.”

Eventually, we all agreed to speak to him. I can feel my heart beating in my chest as we explained our situation. But when he said the words, “How can I help?” I didn’t know what to say. Neither do Ash nor Dex. I suppose we hadn’t prepared for his answer, as we didn’t know what he would say. It felt as though a weight had been lifted off my shoulders when he offered to help. We no longer had to do this alone. We had an ally in our search for our mate.

Dex told Coach Carter what we planned to do during our survival training once we got our maps.
