I woke up in bed and stretched. I had a really big urge to pee so I ran to the bathroom. I look in the mirror and see my dark brown hair is a tangled mess. My brown eyes are tired and I smell, gross, I'm in need of a shower. As I get my shower ready I remember we have to start training this lousy pack soon. This should be very interesting. At least this time if they try and mess with me I can kick their asses. I got in the shower, did my thing and got out. I wanted to look cute today so I chose a gold crop top, and a matching green/blue bell bottom pants and jacket.
Now for my hair. I put some waves in it and left it down again. For my makeup I put on a light smokey eye. With my liquid eyeliner I do the top of my eye, then mascara on both my top and bottom lashes.
Ta da! Done! Now time to go to head to the kitchen, I'm starved. Heading into the kitchen I start making pancakes, eggs, beacon, sausage, and toast. 20 minuets later everything's done. I decided it was best if I made my plate first before calling my father and brothers down. I make my plate before yelling "Boys, dad! Breakfast is ready!" at the top of my lungs. Then I hear them. My brothers come rushing down the stairs pushing each other to see who can get here faster. They didn't even stop and thank me. "I love when you make breakfast?" Andy said with his mouth full. "Yeah and you better appreciate it. I almost didn't make you guys any." I say laughing at them. "Thanks Ashley." Dad smiled kissing my head and grabbing a plate. "Your welcome." I tell him.
Finishing I put my plate in the sink and walk to the front porch. From here I can see Sam out and about as well as others. I catch Sam's attention and wave her over. "Hey what's up Sam?" "Holy shit Ash you look hot!" Sam exclaimed hugging me. "Hot? She's smoking!" Some random guy shouts from the sidewalk. We simply roll our eyes at him. "So, you looking cute for a certain someone?" Sam jokes. "I'm not. I just like looking cute now. I'm more confident." I say leaning against the railing. "I can see that. If you got it flaunt it." Sam said nudging me.
"Come on let's go for a walk." I told her getting off the railing and linking our arms. She gladly accepts and we set off to the street.
As we walk I see "Tanner!" I yell and run to him. "You're okay! I missed you." I exclaim. He had originally came to help us train the pack but our fathers started some kind of secret agreement that's why he's still here. "Ashley how are you? You look amazing! Are you okay?" Tanner says throwing questions my way. "So Ash who's this?" Sam smirks. "Same, this is Tanner." I smile. "He's a friend I made when he came to visit my new pack." "Hi, it's nice to meet you." He smiled shaking hands with Sam. I have a feeling I'm gonna get loads of questions later by the way she's looking between us.
He joins us on our walk. Eventually we go past Chase's house and I feel like I'm being watched. "So, you let your sisters dress you as a girl?!" Sam laughs. "Yeah and every one thought I was. They put a wig on me and everything!" Tanner says laughing. Now, by this point I was crouched over laughing and I fell. So, I grab Tanner since he is closest and he helps me up.
As I cling on to him so I don't fall again, his arm goes around my waist. We hear a low growl. Chase. I straighten up and turn around. He is shaking with anger. His eyes are black and it looks like he is fighting his wolf. "Ash do something! Only you can calm him down!" Sam said pushing me. So I cautiously walk towards Chase. Why the hell is he so angry? I thought he rejected me?
Now I'm directly in front of him. Cautiously I put my hands up and gently grab his arm "Chase you need to calm down. We're not together. Remember?!. Calm. Down." He seems to take deep breaths before looking down at me. "Mine" He whispers while looking into my eyes. When he said that it just didn't seem to sit well with me.
I pull away from him "No, I'm not yours. You chose some whore of the week over me. Your ex mate. 2 years ago! You have no right to want me back now because I meet your standards now! Let's be honest here Chase! You don't want me, you want my body. And I can sure as hell tell you that is not happening. We're done and there is nothing you can do about it!" With a huff I turn around and march back to Sam and Tanner who quickly link their arms with mine and we head back to the house.
"He has to right! What the hell is wrong with him! I know I want him to regret rejecting me but he's not getting it! He wants my new body! He hasn't thought about all of the horrible things his friends and him have done to me in the past. He's not thinking about why I keep pushing him away and rejecting him. Why is he so stupid!" I rant to them as we continue the walk back to my house. "I just wanna get this stupid training session over with so I can go back home and never see his stupid face again! Why is it so hard for the Moon Goddess to bless me with someone who genuinely cares for me?" Once I finish my long rant we arrive at my front porch.
"Would you like us to come in with you?" Samantha asks rubbing my arm. "Please?" I manage to say before we head straight for the freezer for ice cream.
