Chapter 52: But You Can

The representatives had been around for several days now, and Ashleigh had returned to her regular duty rotations. Because the sections of training had already been planned out and she should have been training with Caleb, there was little else for her to do. She was only able to help in some of the sparring sessions but not much beyond that.

Granger had at least two training sessions each day, one for scouting and another for ranged combat. Both involved long treks through the forest. Because of this, it had been easy for Ashleigh to avoid him after they had fought about the claims of Summer using fae magic. He had reached out to her several times, but she chose to be the one to ignore him this time.

Returning to her training routine, patrolling, and regular pack duties, she felt comfortable again. No strange impulses, no invading desires. She could breathe without worry. Still, a part of her missed her time in Summer.
