CHAPTER 12
IVY POV
Beau said that we were going to get together to hang out or whatever but I haven’t heard from
him. So I tried to call him several times and sent a few texts. When I didn’t hear back I started doubting myself. I started thinking that maybe he was having doubts about last night. It really
wouldn’t surprise me. It’s not like I actually believed that someone like him would be
interested in me. No one has ever been interested in me like that before. Or interested in me,
period.
When I finished double guessing myself I decided to go to his house and confront him about
- it. If he wanted to forget about the kiss then that was fine. But I had a right to know why he
was shutting me out. I didn’t deserve that. And I knew that I didn’t deserve that. I don’t have
much self esteem but I know that this kind of s**t is not on.
When I got to his house and rang the doorbell I didn’t know what I was expecting, but when
that man opened the door and he smelled of fresh rain I had to pull myself together pretty
quickly. I introduced myself and he stood there staring at me for what felt like an eternity. He
was starting to make me feel really nervous actually until he finally came to his senses and
he introduced himself. And holy s**t, it was the Alpha. I bared my neck to him immediately.
He was not what I was expecting. He was taller than the twins. About 6 foot 7 at least. He was
huge with bulging muscles and black hair to his shoulders with facial hair that wasn’t
overgrown. It was just enough to make him look sexy. He didn’t look anything like the twins.
And when he told me that I didn’t need to bare my neck to him, I actually thought that was
really odd.
Cole then raced to the door and explained everything that happened with Beau. How he had
disappeared in the middle of the night and just left a note. My heart sank immediately when I
heard that. I don’t think I hid the hurt on my face very well. Alpha Asher stayed really quiet
while I was talking to Cole and then I left and I went back to my house.
When I got there I went up to my room and closed the door and sat on the bed. I looked around my room with a million things going through my head all at once. I looked at my phone and I put it down and then I picked it up again. Then I picked it up again and I was going to
send him a text. But I decided against it because I was a little afraid of what I was going to say to him. I’m really pissed off and upset right now. I didn’t really know how to feel.
He was so interested last night but then today he’s just gone. Was I really that much of a
mistake that he needed to leave town? We really had something there and now he won’t even

talk to me.
I wiped away the few stray tears that escaped my eyes and I got up and got changed and I headed to the gym in town.
I worked out for about two hours. With cardio, stable weights and free weights. And I was pouring with sweat by the time I left there and I started walking home.
I felt like someone was watching me as I was walking home and I turned around to look but I couldn’t see anyone paying particular interest in me. So I just turned around and kept walking.
When I got home I had a shower and I got dressed into my pajamas and then headed to the kitchen to start making dinner.
Mom was home early tonight and we sat down to eat dinner together but I wasn’t really hungry. I just fiddled with my food and I was staring at my plate not really paying attention to my surroundings. My mother finally got my attention by waving her arms in front of my face and I looked at her.
“What’s going on with you tonight?” She asked.
“Nothing. I’m just daydreaming.” I say.
“How was your night out last night with your friends?” She asked.
“Yeah. It was fun. I had a really good time.” I say.
“Good. I’m so glad to hear that. But why do you look so miserable today?” She asked.
“I’ve just got a lot on my mind so drop it.” I snapped at her.
“Ivy. You’ve never spoken to me like that.” She says.
“Well, learn to take the hint. I’m not talking for a reason. If I wanted to talk about it then I would.” I said.
“Alright. We won’t talk about it then.” She says.
When we finished dinner I cleaned the kitchen and I went up to my room and I sat at my desk scribbling on a notebook on my desk before I finally laid down in bed to read a book. But I could barely focus on what I was reading. So I mainly just laid there looking at the ceiling.
I had so many emotions running through me right now that I felt this clawing in my head.
“Not now Lily.” I say.
“You need to talk about it.” My wolf Lily says in my mind.
“No. I don’t. I just need to forget it. Forget that I ever met him.” I say.

“And how is that working out for you? I can feel you plummeting again. I can’t let you do that.” She says.
“You think I’m going to the dark place again? That’s not happening. Not over Beau. He’s just proven what an asshole he is. I should have expected it. I’m mad at myself more than anyone
else. I should have known better than to trust him.” I say.
“No. It wasn’t Beau. Something must have happened. His wolf liked us as well. And Beau
really liked you. I know that he did. Something went wrong and he needed to leave. I don’t
know what, but that’s what happened. I’m sure of it.” Lily says.
“Stop being so optimistic. We are not the type of girl that guys like. Obviously.” I say.
“Ivy. You are the most gorgeous girl in this town. Every guy wants to get to know you but
wouldn’t come near you because Beau was always hanging around. Just wait and see what
happens now that Beau isn’t here. It’s not you.” Lily tries to console me. But I am just getting
angry with her and I push her to the back of my mind and block her out. So I don’t have to listen to her constant nagging. It was driving me crazy.
She always says that it’s not me. But it is me. Everyone always stays away from me. They
always keep a wide berth from me. How can I not take this rejection personally? It’s happened
my whole life. Kids wouldn’t let me play with them on the playground and it got worse the
older I got.
I then heard sirens go off in town and I got up and raced out of my room and my mother was
coming out of her room.
“We’re under attack. That siren means that someone is attacking the pack.” She says.
“You’re gonna need help at the hospital.” I say.
“Thank you. I was hoping you would say that.” She says. So we get our shoes and we race out
of the house and get in my mothers car and head straight to the hospital.
