much. | am not the only one who has had their own struggles. | should stop being selfish, and stop focusing on
my own worries. | had been given a fresh start here in this pack, | didn’t want to mess that up, Beta Asher had
been through so much more than me, and here | was feeling sorry for myself to him, he must think ofas a
silly little girl... | began to stand, thinking it better to give him sspace, and again he placed his hand upon
mine. “Are you going to be okay?” he asked softly, so far from the ruthless and callous Beta | had met on that
first night it was unreal. In many ways it was like he was a completely different guy... ‘Hell, he almost seems
human... well, not human, werewolf... but kind. Caring.. decent. A good guy. Who would of thunk it?” Akira
chuckled, but for once, I didn’t find her little digs at Asher all that funny. He genuinely did seem like a decent
guy, even if sof it was being forced by Luna Eden. Maybe my mind had been that messed up with
everything that was going on in my life, | had been too quick to judge him. He had enough to deal with, and did
not need bringing down byand my pathetic worries. | smiled. “Yeah, | am always good.” | lied, and flicked my
hair back from my face before looking at him again. “I get these occasional low moments, and then pick myself
right back up. | will be good. You don’t need to worry yourself about me, Asher. Schocolate and | am good to
go.” Décher 12 - Bailey He chuckled. “I may have schocolate back at my place if you want to cand
share? Keep one another company for a little while? So your mind isn’t drifting back to the sthings.” He
suggested, a little tentatively, takingby surprise, | had to say. That offer seemed so out of the blue, and so
unlike him, I truly didn’t know how to react to his offer... ‘Ooohh, the Beta liiiikkkkeees yoooouuu!” Akira giggled,
clearly thinking this was a perfect tto tease me, so | quickly put my block up to her, not needing her input

Luna Eden had
said to make sure | was okay. | should probably be grateful for his offer. But, still, it confused me. I highly doubt
he wanted to be keepingcompany. | think he has been made to give up enough of his tforover the
last few days as it was thanks to Luna Eden. | didn’t want him feeling he had to give up more of his time. “You
really don’t need to.” | told him, with an uncomfortable smile. “Oh.” He looks uncomfortable now. Almost a little
hurt. Like a wounded puppy... How do | manage it? “I just thought it might be better than both us sitting alone?”
he suggested, and | found myself sighing, maybe he was right. “What chocolate have you got?” | asked, a little
curious, because | knew my supply was running low in my room, and | needed to go out for more. He looked at

so unexpected from him, but it madesmile. He stood up, offeringhis hand to pullup. “I don’t think |
have ever been called that.” He smirked. “But, | will take that as well, let's go then?” he asked with a wink. “I
guess so.” | took his hand, appreciating his help in pullingup, and we walked in a comfortable silence along
the landing, to the short corridor leading off it, and he opened the door to what | asswas his Beta suite.
Inside was modernly decorated in black, gray and white. Asher clearly took great pride in his home. Though part
ofwonders just how long he actually spends here, because every the talks about things he is always
saying how busy he is. We walked into the hallway, with a number of doorways off it, | assto bedroom,
bathroom and kitchen. But Asher leadsto the room near the lower end of the hallway. “Right, this is a secret,
okay? | am trusting you here, Bailey. | am meant to be a fitness freak. So, if anyone were to know how much
chocolate | ate they would never take my training sessions seriously again.” He said towith a grin, and once
again | found myself laughing at him. He was
funny, without even trying, | think. And his whole face lit up when he was smiling so genuinely. That darkness
and moodiness | had seen him was almost all gone. He opened the door to a modernly decorated kitchen, with
black. units, and a marble countertop. He went straight to one of the cupboard doors, opening it for me, and
motioning forto take a look, and as I did, | could see a whole selection of different chocolate bars. My idea of
a very sinful heaven... “Wow.” | gasped, and | heard Asher laughing behind me. [] 1288 Wouchers “The way to a
girl's heart, | guess?” he asked, and | turned to look at him, my eyes wide in shock at all the different variations
of chocolate. Wide eyes, likely with hearts coming out of them for all the chocolate that resided in his cupboard.
No wonder he was smiling at me, he likely foundhighly amusing. “Definitely this girl's heart, not like | had
much luck in any other aspect.” | joked, and he smiled sadly at me. “I am sure you will, but until then, | guess |
don’t mind sharing my chocolate stash with you. So long as you keep my secret.” | found myself giggling without
even meaning to, as | looked up at him. “Wow, my hero!” | added sarcastically, and he simply smiled once more.
A smile that seemed to cso much more easily than it had before...
