Skylar's POVI was beginning to wish I had just stayed at home. My parents had left Ash's house and it was just me left.This was the most awkward event I had ever attended in my life.What was going to happen when everyone leaves?.Was Alpha Damon going to lash out on Ash again because of me?What was Cassie's deal anyway? Why was she so petty? And her Dad?. Really terrible. I thought she was over Ash and decided to move on. I noticed she wasn't as close with Ash anymore but I felt it was because she was with Sage and probably didn't have that much time anymore but none of her actions at school suggested that she was still mad about the whole situation. “She really didn't have to behave that way today though”, I thought to myself.Are you OK?”Ash asked, closing the door behind him. The feast was over and most people that came over had already left for their houses. “You've been really quiet since, what's going on?”,he added, pulling me to his arms. His masculine scent washed over me brin
Cassie's POVThings had gotten worse between me and Ash after the event that took place at his house. He started avoiding me in school and stopped replying to my texts. Ash and I had our differences but one thing he has never done was to ignore me. Sage and I also exchanged words for the first time since we started hanging out because apparently he was disappointed at my attitude during the dinner but we made up almost immediately. Everyone seemed to misunderstand me and I didn't think it was fair enough. It wasn't my intention for things to turn out this way and I thought My Dad could handle the situation like he said but it seemed like it was best to take matters into my own hands to fix things before it got any worse.Ash was the closest friend I had and I couldn't let anyone or anything take that from me. I was having another Date with Sage today and if I was left to myself, I really didn't want to go anywhere. The past couple of days had been terrible,I wasn't used to Ash ignorin
Ash's POV“Young Lady,you shouldn't have excused us though. She could have said whatever she has to say while you were there”. I said,stepping into the car. I had been avoiding Cassie after the stunt she pulled during the feast. I definitely knew she wasn't expecting me to react the way I did but I reacted that way to make her feel the gravity of her actions. She's lucky I didn't have any serious issues with my Dad afterwards else she would have been sorry because I'd have made sure to take it out on her.“It's nothing Ash,being there wouldn't have made any much difference and I didn't want your conversation with her to be constrained because of my presence that's why I excused myself”.she replied,with a brief smile.“Look who's trying to be nice. Well,you should have stayed regardless”,I answered, starting the car.“It's alright Babe, just let it go”, She replied.“Fine then. By the way,did your mum act strange since the other day?. I've been wondering since then”,I asked her, lookin
*Sage's POV*The back and forth I was having in my relationship with Cassie was exhausting,but I figured she's just one clueless lady that needed someone to put her through life. Only if her Dad had actually been incorporating the nonsense he spewed at the New Life Celebration feast,then I'm certain she'd have turned out better. I was beginning to get tired of her never ending obsession with Ash but I knew I couldn't end things with her right now as I was the only one that still genuinely cared for her at the moment. In my mind,I already had a time limit set and if things didn't get better by then,I was going to part ways with her. Being in a one-sided relationship is one of the worst things that could ever happen to anyone, especially if you're not keeping your options open and I wouldn't even wish that on an enemy to be honest. This minute she's acting all loved up and into me, the next she's behaving like I'm just one leech that wouldn't let her be. I wasn't about to find myself in
*Ash's POV*I had just arrived at school and I noticed the stares from other students were a bit unusual today. I initially thought it was because of Ash and what had happened with him lately but the looks didn't seem like pity or care so I was a bit worried. Something else must have most definitely happened.“What's going on?”,I asked nervously. How was he supposed to know? We obviously just arrived at school together and there was no way he would have known.“I have no idea. The looks are scary as hell. I just hope no one has done anything funny. I guess we'll know what's up before the end of today”,he answered and bade me goodbye. I didn't feel good, whatever was the reason for this stares,I knew it was not anything positive and I could feel that strongly in my gut. I didn't even know who to ask because the only person that was closest had no idea of what was going on,I just had to be calm till someone finally let it out. The bell had just rang,signifying lunch break and the end of
*Ash's POV*My Dad had finally hired the Bodyguards that he spoke about and in a way I felt constrained. The particular one that was always available seemed too nosy for my liking and there seemed to be something off about him. He always wanted to know everything going on with me and my Dad and always voiced out his opinion like he was a member of the family.I drove back home thinking about how I would break the news to My Dad. He was just recovering fully and this wasn't the kind of information that should be reaching Him in a time like this. I honestly thought Cassie was over me and really wanted to move forward that's why she came to me. I didn't know the apology she gave was a sort of bait and I foolishly fell for it. I pondered on all the possible punishments that would come from my Dad finding out about this and I panicked a bit.“Good afternoon Dad”,I greeted. He was home when I got back and I thought it was best to tell him as soon as possible.“Hello Son. How was school toda
*Skylar’s POV*I couldn't bring myself to break the news to My Parents when I got home. I thought about a number of things I could do to avoid the situation __run away from home for a few days. I had never done that before and I wasn't sure I had the courage to even do it. Pretend to be sick. The truth was still going to come out eventually. Ash Damon had promised to speak to them himself and I couldn't be more grateful. I had planned to tell them over Dinner but all I had to do now was inform them that Ash Damon requested a meeting with them which was easier to do.“Are you alright Sweetheart?”.My Mum asked, staring at me.“Yes Mum. School was quite stressful this week. So many things happened that were quite exhausting. I'm just glad that it's the weekend already, at least I'll get to rest well enough”,I replied.“Welldone Love. You're doing so well and I'm sure all your hardwork will pay off in the nearest future. Just keep at it”,My Dad said, with a warm smile on his face.“Aww, T
Sage's POVLife has been so chaotic recently. Everything felt forced and overwhelming. I was beginning to realise that my feelings for Cassie were wearing off gradually, and I was quite grateful for that. I'd rather remain single than be with someone like Cassie long-term. Ash was celebrating his birthday today, and for strange reasons, both Ash and Skylar had reached out to me to ask if I would love to attend. I felt it was a plan for them to spite Cassie in a way because I saw no other reason why they would want me around. I knew Cassie was going to be really furious when she found out, but this was an opportunity for me to see him, as it had been difficult for me to get any information about him that I could give to Richard. Since he was suspended from school, I didn't have any alternative way to access him.I reached out to Him online a few times, though, to check up on Him and know how he was faring, and he was quite nice in his response.“Happy Birthday to you, outcast”, I said p
