It's been two days since Luke was introduced back into the pack and things have been getting back to normal. Calum of course is still on edge about it all though, he still doesn't trust Luke completely. He thinks Luke will try to make a move on me again.

I still feel bad about the whole situation. I really like Calum, I mean who wouldn't. But I still like Luke too. Luke will always have a special place in my heart. But in the end, it's Cal who I truly want to be with.

Luke has been taking all of this surprisingly well. He doesn't seem too upset when he sees Calum and I together which is good. Luke and I do hangout a lot but he isn't pulling any flirty moves or anything like that. Everything between us now is strictly friendly and I'm happy with that.

I'm currently in Ashton's room, it's my turn to take care of him for the next couple of hours. He isn't getting better, not even with Jo's healing powers. The amount of damage Calum's mother did to him should have killed him, but he's thankfully still trying to pull through.

Becca is normally by his side, but I told her I'd watch him because it looked like she hadn't slept in ages. Which I guess is probably true.

I heard the bed move and saw Ashton trying to sit up. "Oh hey Alexis." He said with a groan as he successfully sat up.

"Hi Ash, how're you feeling now?" I asked with a small smile.

He ran his fingers through his long hair. "My neck hurts obviously. And I'm pretty sure the cuts on my back have opened up again."

I stood and walked over to his bed. The left side of his neck was covered in black and purple bruises, deep scratches and teeth marks. I sighed. "I'm going to get Jo." She'll be able to fix the cuts."

"No, wait. Can't you just do it? I need to talk to you anyways." He said, grabbing my wrist lightly.

I nodded. I just needed to check his stitches anyways. Thank god Becca's mom was a nurse and taught her how to stitch. Because if she hadn't, Ashton probably would have bled to death.

I sat down again and grabbed the wet cloth on the bedside table, wiping the excess blood on Ashton's neck. "So what did you want to talk about Ash?" I asked quietly.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "It's about Becca. I don't know what to do. I like her so much Lex, I'm positive I've imprinted on her it's just that, well she's human and if we are going to last as a couple and possibly more then I have to, I have to..." He paused and lowered his head. Making his hair fall in front of his face.

I tilted his head back up and pushed the hair out of his face carefully so I didn't hurt him. "Talk to her Ash, surely if she loves you like you love her, then she'll give you permission to change her."

I knew Becca. She really loved Ashton, I could tell. It's the way she looks at him, acts around him and talks to him. I remember the first time she told me about the boys and she wouldn't shut up about him and now look at her. The two of them are dating.

"You don't all of this is too sudden do you? I mean, we've only know each other for about a month. Is that enough time to fully fall in love with a person?" He asked, looking at me with a look of confusing on his face.

I nodded. "I feel like if you find the right person, then it doesn't actually matter how long the two of you have actually known each other. If you love them, then you love them. What's stopping you from staying together forever? Nothing. Plus, you're a werewolf and you only fall in love once. Do you think Becca's the one for you?" I asked with a smile.

He laughed. "Yeah. Yeah I do."

"Good. Now you can talk to her about the whole changing process. I'm sure she'll understand completely and actually want you to change her. It must suck to be the only human in a house full of werewolves." I said with a giggle, moving on to clean the cuts on Ashton's back.
