Kate’s pov

I had the best dream ever while I was in the hospital. I guess it was the drugs, but it felt so vivid. Sierra kissed me and asked me to wait for her. She would never do that. And I would never tell her how I felt. I would never be this open.

I hadn’t told Leia about my dream. I would probably, at some point. But she was dealing with enough. Asher just left last week and I knew she was trying to be strong for him. She was driving me insane though, because she had made it her mission to help me walk again.

I was doing physical therapy and I was getting more feeling in my legs every day. But I lacked strength and my back hurt, trying to walk hurt. Honestly it really hurt, so I had to take things slow.

School had started and I hated, absolutely hated using my wheelchair. But I wasn’t there yet. I could use a walker for two steps, but that was it. And I wanted to do well, my last year. I wanted to have good grades so I could go to college. No idea what I wanted to study yet.

It's going to be quite the rollercoaster, but I have decided on the rest of the story until Kate and Leia turn eighteen. I will jump ahead a bit, but I don't want to skip like six months ahead. A lot can happen in six months and it would be a waste to just summarize it in a few lines. especially now that both of their relationships are under pressure. I hope you like the chapter and I will write another tommoror morning or tonight. depending on how much time I have.

I'm happy that Sierra wrote her and that Kate is trying to learn about the pack she visited. I can't wait to see what her letter says!

I like that Kate is doing research on the pack Sierra is visiting. I think by her taking that approach for a chunk of her letter will help her get her thoughts together. Then she can tell her about her recovery, school, college goals. I think working on strengthening the friendship will go far.

    Sierra’s pov “Hey Sierra, Thanks for your letter. I’m sorry for waiting so long to reply. Honestly, Leia kept me really busy. But that’s not the only reason. I thought writing would be easier than talking, but I have made maybe ten drafts before finally giving up and writing this one. Leia and Asher convinced me to just write. Let if flow or whatever. Well, Leia used a lot more curse words when she said it. That I shouldn’t think, but just write. So here goes nothing. First of all, I am happy that you were able to finalize an alliance. I guess it’s good practice, considering not all packs will be happy with a female Beta. I hope you don’t mind the extra pressure of proving yourself. But I know just like your dad, you’ll be able to convince anyone to like you. I did some research about the Black Lupus pack and it doesn’t surprise me that they aren’t used to female Beta’s. A lot of their rules and rituals seem a bit outdated, but to each their own I guess. As long as they don’t mist

    Asher’s pov The weekend with Leia was great, but saying goodbye was just as hard as the first time. Luckily I had Sierra to distract me, because she was just telling me about accompanying my niece to the movies. “Promise you won’t tell your aunt? Because if Sue finds out I told you, she will never trust me again.” I rolled my eyes, “should I pinky swear?” Sierra slapped my arm, “you’re her nephew, you sure you want to hear it all?” I sighed, “I don't really care. Just tell me.” Logan laughed inside my head, “don’t lie, you love gossip just as much as your parents.” Sierra smiled, “so, your so called ‘innocent’ niece, is the female you. Her dad is worried about her, saying she shouldn’t date? Scared of her friend, ‘the player,” she said, using air quotes. Goddess, she was really dragging this story out. She had mindklinked me in the weekend and told me she had some exciting to tell me on Monday when I was back. I thought it would be about work. Sierra was dedicated, a bit too m

    Kate’s pov Asher has been back here every weekend and Leia lights up those weekend. I’m proud of her though. She could have felt down and not done anything about it. But she’s going to therapy, hanging out with me, working at the farm. She says keeping busy keeps her distracted and it’s working. There are still days that she’s doing less than fine and I can usually tell because she’s forgetful or really moody or she calls in sick and spends the whole day in bed. But we all have bad and good days I suppose. I have been writing with Sierra and after that first letter, I wrote all of them without thinking. It’s not easy and the thought of seeing her again makes me so anxious, because next to Leia, Sierra is the only one that knows me really well now. I am trying to be more open in general. With my parents it was always a bit easier, but I’m trying to take it to the next step. Especially now that Asher isn’t here, it’s much easier to talk at the table, simply because I'm the only chil

    Leia’s pov “I am so fucking tired, Ash. Why the fuck did you have to wake me up in the middle of the night.” “You weren’t complaining then,” Asher said, smirking. He came in late last night and went straight to see me. I was sleeping fucking deep, but not deep enough for Asher to wake me up and screw my fucking brains out. “I missed you so fucking much, but I wanted to look nice for you on my birthday. Not like a freaking zombie that hasn’t slept.” I told Asher. “Princes, take a nap. You still have time. I will leave you alone, because if I take a nap with you, we won’t sleep.” I sighed and went back to my bed. It felt so much fucking better, knowing Asher was here. I was working so fucking hard to not feel like shit all the time. I knew being a feminist and all that fucking stuff, that I shouldn’t let my happiness depend on someone else. But Asher knew me. He saw through my bullshit and he always knew how to calm me down. Being with him was so fucking good and he made me forget

    Sierra’s pov “What the hell is wrong with you!” Grace growled. I ignored her and focused on listening to what Emma and Jara where talking about with Kate. “.. so maybe you could join? Especially now that you’re walking?” Kate looked over at me and then back to her aunts, “yeah, that sounds nice!” I walked closer when aunt Emma spotted me too, “Sierra! O you missed it, it was so freaking cool. Kate just stood up from her chair and dove into the pool like a mermaid or something.” I smiled and pretended to be fine. “That does sound cool. I’m sorry I missed it. Traffic was crazy.” Kate shrugged, “it’s okay.” But I could tell she was lying. It wasn’t okay. She had looked so beautiful diving into the pool and I almost gasped when I saw her stand up. She looked like a goddess. But I still couldn’t make myself go into the party. Even when Grace threatened to shift and take over, I kept my distance. I stood like a weirdo in the bushes, watching the party from afar. “And what the hell i

    Kate’s pov “So I’ve given you some fucking time, but tell me please. What the fuck is going on between you and Sierra since our birthday?” I had actually given Leia some time, because she had such a special date with Asher after our party that it was extra hard when he left. Especially since she knew he would be spending less time with her once he got to the Eclipse pack. It took a lot longer to get here, so since he arrived at the Eclipse pack three weeks ago, they only had one day together instead of the whole weekend. I didn’t want to pile on by sharing my issues. She had been there for me. Goddess, she was pushing me so hard that I actually was walking and didn’t need my chair at all. “We’re still writing letters, but a lot less. I am trying to keep some distance and share less. It’s just awkward, I guess. She has apologized, but not given a real explanation. It’s not just the whole gay or bisexual thing, it’s also that work comes first for her. So it feels like I’m not a prior

    Leia’s pov I fucking hated that Kate was gone and Asher. I didn’t realize how much I relied on them both. Okay, that’s a lie. I totally know how much I fucking rely on them. They’re my whole support system together with my parents. Especially dad, me and him are tight as fuck. But there are some things I can’t tell him. I don’t want him to fucking know about all the things Mark did to me. Part of me feels like I’m protecting Mark by not saying it to, but I am also protecting my parents. I mean, would you like to fucking know your daughter was verbally abused daily and made to feel like shit on top of every fucking thing that happened the night he broke my wrist and ribs, and fingers. Fucking asshole. Asher is the type of guy that doesn’t really post pictures online or I’d be fucking stalking him for life. I know there are girls around him that want a piece of that ass. I have him and I get it. Asher is the best looking guy around and he’s so fucking charming. And they don’t even kno

    Kate’s pov It’s been a nice trip, but it was different than I thought. Being away from home hasn’t been that easy for me. I am homesick some days and I think I might have brushed passed everything that happened to me and my friends and family too quickly. Being so focused on physical recovery, I didn't think about the toll on my mental health. One of the Gamma’s daughters saw my scar and asked me about it and when I started to explain, I suddenly realized it was a big thing that happened. “So, you’re saying a hunter came into your pack and pretended to be one of you?!” Uma said, surprised. “Yeah, her dad was a werewolf and they killed her.” “So then she just kidnapped you?” How could I tell this without sounding dramatic. Or make her pity me. We’ve been hanging out a bit and she even wants to go with us to the pride events, but I could ruin this by saying too much. I could ruin anything by talking too much, I still remember what happened when I opened myself up, in the letters t

    Aaro’s povI shouldn’t have said that, but it was the fucking truth. No matter how much this wasn’t Storm’s choice any more than it was mine, he was still going to mark me against my will. Maybe if things were different, then I would have chosen Storm as my mate.I always hoped I would find my true mate, but that ship had fucking sailed the moment I was bought. Maybe even before then—maybe the moment I was brought to the damn school. It didn’t fucking matter anyway.I saw how my remark hurt Storm, and all I could think of to make this better was to ask him to kiss me. I knew it fucking made me feel better. More than better. The orgasm he gave me was out of this fucking world, and I just wanted to make him feel good too.I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing, but he seemed to enjoy it, and to be honest, I was enjoying it too. I didn’t think having someone’s dick inside my mouth would be fun, but hearing Storm grunt and hold on to my hair and knowing I was the one doing it to him was a

    Storm’s povI knew if I got pissed off, Aaro would stop telling me the truth, so I let her talk while inside of me a storm was raging. I wanted to go to the school and kill everyone who ever hurt Aaro. I wanted to destroy the entire school and get everyone out, but I knew I couldn’t. I was a fucking hypocrite. My father had bought Aaro for me and had funded the school for years. I didn’t realize where part of our money was going until I checked the books today. Our pack had been giving money to the Goldacres for decades. How could I say I would destroy the school if I still profited from it? If it wasn’t for the school, I wouldn’t have met Aaro.I wanted to be Aaro’s home, her safe place. She deserved that. Despite the fucked up situation she was thrown into, she was trying to do things her own way. She could have ignored my mother like the rest, but instead she decided to learn Dutch. The thing that bonded me and mam together. If Aaro was smart, she would have sucked up to Dad and R

    Aaro’s povEve explained the phone to me, but I still felt like a fucking idiot using it. She was so patient with me, but I knew if others saw me fumbling with the phone, they’d think I was raised under a damn rock. Everyone used technology for everything, and I felt like I didn’t belong in this world.To be honest, I don’t belong here. I belong with my sister; I belong back home.But a part of me wished I did belong here. That I could give Storm what he deserved. He wanted a real person who didn’t have that many secrets, someone who could be themselves around him, and I wasn’t that at fucking all. I had to think before I spoke, because otherwise I could reveal the truth."I really am sorry, Aaro." Eve said again.I shook my head, "don’t be. I’ll be fine."Eve sighed, "it can be really hard sometimes, Aaro. I try to put on a brave face for Storm. I don’t want him to feel bad for me, but it’s really lonely for me. I miss my family and just having a life. Don’t get me wrong; if I had to

    Storm’s pov"Aaro is bijna klaar; douchen liep een beetje uit. [Aaro is almost done; the shower took a bit longer than expected.]Mam laughed, "Ik zie dat jij ook ging douchen? [I see you took a shower as well?] She ruffled my wet hair."Dus? [so?]""Niks. Ik ben blij voor je. Ze is speciaal vind je niet? Ik durf het bijna niet te zeggen, maar misschien is zij je, - [Nothing. I am happy for you. She’s special, isn’t she? I am almost too scared to say, but maybe she’s your, -] " I stopped my mom from finishing her sentence."Mam zeg het niet dan! Fuck, je weet zelf wat pap zou doen. [Then don’t say it! Fuck, you know what Dad would do.]"My mother knew better than anyone what my dad thought of true mates, considering she was his. Dad and mom fell in love when they were seventeen. Love at first sight, she called it, and then my grandfather got killed and my dad turned into a paranoid asshole. Too scared of what a true mate meant. He wasn't just scared of losing half his soul if his true

    Aaro’s povFucking phone. That stupid fucking phone. Phones didn’t used to be like this, were they? I remember mom and dad having a phone, and I sometimes watched videos on it or played a game. But this thing was totally different.I felt so fucking out of place. I knew nothing about this world. I guess that the school does this on purpose. Make sure to isolate the girls once they’re out of the school. Make sure we don’t know how to use technology to ask for help.We’re not supposed to tell anyone about the school, but even if we only wanted to help ourselves once we were out, we wouldn’t be able to. We had no one to turn to and no way to set up any support system. Maybe I should talk to Eve. She had been isolated, stuck inside this packhouse. She knows how it feels, and maybe she knows how to get out of here.I opened the stupid phone again, cursing at it."You better not fuck this up again. Send text to Eve.""Send text to Eve," the phone said."Do you want to join me and Storm for l

    Storm’s povI put Aaro on my lap and let her eat."So what’s her deal?" Cara asked, mind-linking me."What do you mean?""She seems nice, but is she like the rest? Does she want you because of your title?"I laughed, "no, she isn’t like the rest. Not at fucking all. I don’t think she cares about becoming Luna at all.""Did she have any say in coming here? Did her parents force her?"I sighed, "she’s an orphan. It’s fucking complicated Cara, but she doesn’t really have a choice. So I’m trying my fucking best to make everything not suck as fucking much."Cara smiled at me, "you want her to like you."Aaro started giving me bites to eat, and although it surprised me, I let her. It was fucking adorable that she cared enough to feed me."She likes you already. She was straddling you, and now she’s feeding you!" Cara shouted inside my head.That kiss was amazing. And when Aaro started moving her fucking hips, I went insane. If Cara hadn’t stopped us, I don’t know what would have happened. Wh

    Aaro’s povBrand was cool. He reminded me of my dad’s wolf, Logan. He was as fast as him, too. How would it feel to run as a wolf? Would I be that fast?It was easier around Brand because he didn’t talk to me and I didn’t have to pretend so hard.Even when I was myself, I still had to pretend. I couldn’t let anyone know my real name or identity. It wasn’t easy. I so badly wanted to tell Brand about Logan. I wanted to tell the girl in the orphanage more about Ero. And when we discussed our names, I really wanted to tell Peter what Aaro fucking stood for.It bothered me how scared everyone was. It was supposed to be like this. In my dad’s pack, people weren’t scared of us. And although my grandpa Os could be a bit scary, people respected him more than they feared him.Then he shifted back, and although Storm looked a lot better, like a whole fuckload better, I went back to pretending. Pretending that he didn’t look fucking good, and I wondered what it would feel like to touch him. Preten

    Storm’s povI tried to get some work done, but my mind kept wondering about tonight. What would be a good date idea?"Let me meet her," Brand said."And then what, have a picknick? It’s fucking freezing outside.""Please?" Brand asked and I think it was the first time he said please to me."I’ll see what I can do, okay, buddy?"Dad had given me her tracker information, and I felt like a fucking stalker, tracking Aaro’s moves. She went from the hospital to the orphanages, to lunch somewhere, and then to one of the elders' houses.When it was around four, I just gave up on working and decided to pick up Aaro early. I'm sure she'd appreciate it; I couldn't imagine spending the entire day with Ruby.I went to the O'Hares' home and watched as Aaro spoke to a young boy. He must be one of the grandkids or great-grandkids of the O'Hares. Mister O'Hare was 104 years old and looked no older than 70.When the boy saw me, he bowed his head and seemed scared. It was such an obvious contrast between

    Aaro’s povStupid fucking nightmare. I used to have them when we were younger. I would dream about Marco taking us away. We were asleep when he took us, but we woke up before he brought us to the man who transported us to the school.Doctor Marco had always been so kind to us, but suddenly he was cold. He ignored our cries, he ignored me begging him to let my sister go. In the end, he threatened to hurt Elora if I didn’t help him calm her down.He showed me bones and said they belonged to a girl, and if I didn't help my sister out of her pajamas and make her shut the fuck up, he could turn my sister into a bag of bones too.For years, I wondered what he needed the bones and the pajamas for. I thought he might have pretended it was one of us who died, so my parents wouldn’t come looking for us. Or my parents were dead themselves; there must have been a reason why they didn't find us. Auntie Kat was too smart to not see through Marco’s plan, I was sure. She was the smartest person alive;
