Chapter 245: Try

Ashton finally woke up around midday, spotting two unusual things. One, was the breakfast next to his bed, and second was the concerned expression on Caleb's face. Recalling their early morning conversation, Ashton asked carefully, "Did you do it? Did you get to… talk to my wolf form"?

"I did," Caleb affirmed. After a sigh and a moment of consideration he told Ashton everything he was told. By the end of it, even Ashton appeared petrified of everything. "This whole time.. I thought… I was fighting him, but he was protecting me"?

This was the first time Ashton referred to his wolf as 'he' and not , something which Caleb wondered, Ashton realised it or not. "You okay"? Caleb asked his mate gently.

"I honestly don't know," Ashton whispered. "This is driving me crazy…"

"Hey, it's alright. I would too, if I were you". Caleb mumbled softly.
