Chapter 6 Weight Of Guilt

• Asher's POV
• It was strange to be back in this part of the city, and even stranger to walk into a meeting and see her there. Willow. The same girl we had grown up with, only... not the same. The moment I saw her, I was hit with a wave of surprise. She was no longer the chubby, quiet girl from our pack, always keeping to herself as if hiding in the shadow of others. She had transformed into someone different, confident, striking, and undeniably womanly. Her once-soft chubby features had sharpened into something fierce, something... beautiful.
• I caught the flicker of shock that passed over her face the moment her eyes landed on us, me, Aiden, and Axel. I could tell she wasn’t expecting us, just as we hadn’t expected to see her. For a second, it looked like she was ready to bolt like she couldn’t bear to be in the same room as us.
