"Do you really expect me to become best friends with my mate's boyfriend and cheer for you both to make out?"
"I don't. And that is why I want to reject you as my mate." I told him after a moment of silence.
As soon as those words left my mouth, an...
To say that Ashler was disappointed in me would be an understatement. He had been ignoring me for a day straight and planned on doing it longer.
Nothing worked. Na-da.
I've begged, seduced and even fake- cried.
Let's talk about insensitivity?
"Ashler, would you just listen to me for a minute?" I asked him for the umpteenth time.
Surprisingly, I've annoyed him so much by now that he actually decides to reply.
"What should we talk about, huh? About how you hid the truth from me?" He said annoyed.
"Ashler it wasn't mine but Lily's truth to tell. She didn't want me to-" I tried reasoning.
"I understand that you care about her. But as the Luna of this pack, it's important for you to judge the seriousness of a situation. You need to be able to differentiate between personal matters and matters that can affect an entire pack." He answered, disappointed a little.
"I'm sorry Ashler." I sighed, meaning it.
He didn't say anything for some time and I was scared that he'd start ignoring me again. But I was taken by surprise then he gently pulled me into a hug and placed his chin on top of my head.
I almost melted in his arms.
"You know I was so scared the day we received that letter. Jacob is doing everything to take you away from me. But I won't let him do that, Hannah." He said placing a soft kiss on my forehead.

"I know." I whispered.
"But I can't do that alone. How am I supposed to protect you when you devoid me of such an important piece of information? We are mates, Hannah. We are connected by souls and lying or hiding the truth would do us no good." He explained.
I asked him for his forgiveness again to which he replied with a kiss. I was forgiven.
"You still have to wake up early tomorrow for your training." He spoke after a while.
I groaned and he chuckled at my reaction.
"By the way, I'm still mad." He announced with a smirk.

We laid in his bed trying to catch some sleep.
"Ashler, I don't know what to think about Andrew. Has he joined hands with Jacob intentionally or was he forced? Why did he betray me?" I asked him.
"Hannah, I don't know about that. But I'm sure that being in prison just gave him more reasons." He answered, shrugging a little.
I was absolutely devastated that Andrew wasn't my friend anymore. In fact, he's friends with the person who had destroyed my life. The worst of it all was that he became friends with Jacob after knowing everything he did to my family.
