TheBeginningofHealing–1Thea’s POV“Are you okay, baby?” I asked Leo, watching him push food around plate aimlessly.Sebastian usually joined us for dinner, but tonight was different. He was locked away in his study, dealing with some important shit about forming an alliance with two smaller Packs from the west. According to him, this alliance would significantly expand Ashworth Pack’s sphere of influence and cement our dominant position in North American werewolf society. The new allies meant not just more resources, but greater freedom of movement and additional hunting grounds for Pack members.“It’s nothing, Mom, just thinking about how to deal with Piper,” Leo humbled, absently poking at his food.The issue was clearly bothering him. I had no fucking clue how to help unless the girl crossed a line, but my gut told me she wouldn’t. I also wanted Leo to learn independence rather than always relying on me or his father to solve his problems.“Have you come up with anything so far?” I asked, pushing away my empty plate.“No,” he sighed in frustration. “I guess I’ll just have to avoid her as much as possible.Iwish she’d miraculously get transferred to another class.“I could ask the principal to move you to a different class,” I suggested.this was genuinely bothering him so much, it was the least I could do. I wanted Leo to focus on his studies,not spend most ofhistime dodging a girl who seemed determined to stick to him like glue,I smiled inwardly. I couldn’t really blame the girl. Ashworth men had a particular allure about them. Sebastian had completely captivated me when I was younger. I guessed the same thing was happening to Piper.“No!” he almost shouted the word with fierce determination. “I don’t want to leave my friends. Especially now that Wyatt is in my class too, I don’t want to be separated from him.”I nodded understandingly. “Alright.”When I heard Wyatt’s name, my heart twitched. Given how tense things were between Jaxon and Sebastian, it was pretty fucking ironic that the Goddess had made their sonssoimportant to each other.A moment later, Mary appeared to clear the table. I tried to help, but the stubborn woman refused.“I’m going to bed,” Leo informed me.“Okay, sweetheart… I’ll check on your sister and be there in a bit.”He yawned, nodded, and headed upstairs. After confirming everything was good and Mary didn’t need help, I went upstairs too.I checked on Phoenix and found her fast asleep. I’d just fed her before dinner, and she’d immediately passed out afterward. I quietlyleft her room and went to Leo’s.“Leo?” I called, but got no response.He was already asleep, lying completely on top of his covers. I guessed Piper’s attention hadn’t just angered him but exhausted him too. AI slowly walked into his room and helped him get under the covers. After tucking him in, I placed a gentle kiss on his forehead, made sure he was comfortable, and left his room.1/2The Beginning of Healing–1The house was eerily quiet now. As Mary finished her work and left for her quarters, I decided to take a shower. The Aurora issue was still swirling around in my head. I still couldn’t decide what the fuck to do about it.I thought the shower would clear my head, but it was futile. After showering, I was still just as confused as when Roman had asked for my help.I put on my nightgown and then my robe, Since Sebastian still hadn‘ emerged, I decided to check if he was close to finishing.“I’m leaving, Luna,” Mary informed me as I passed the kitchen. Despite my many requests to call me Thea, she still habitually used my title.“Has Sebastian eaten?” I asked.“Not yet; Alpha said he’d eat when he was done and not to worry about it.”I nodded. “Alright, good night.”“Good night to you too.”After she left, I prepared a plate for Sebastian. Who knew how long before he’d finish his work? He couldn’t work on an empty stomach. Once ready, I carried the plate to his study.
