Chapter 36 A Way In

• Asher's POV

Tomorrow, I’d be heading to Willow’s pack, something I’d put off for as long as I could which in actual sense was barely five days but it already felt like a million years. I could feel the tension of this impending journey tightening around my chest, and I knew it was time. No more avoiding. We needed answers, and Willow was the key to getting those answers.
• I was midway through folding a shirt when Axel strolled into my room, hands in his pockets, his usual smirk absent. “So, you're really going tomorrow?” he asked, his voice low.
