(Ashton's pov) I was overdoing it, I knew that. Yet, I couldn't stop. I was hurting her very badly and knew despite all the brave front she was putting up, deep inside Gwen was breaking apart. That knowledge wasn't lost on me. Call me a bad person, an insensitive arrogant asshole. I am all that and more. It's hasn't been easy on me either as Fang has abandoned me without giving a f**k about how I am faring without him. He has even fully withdrawn and hasn't spoken to me nor given me his signature kicks of displeasure each time I made our mate hurt. It all started since the other day when I f****d Merit. Today, I and Williams resolved to switch our leisure period to go for recruitment for the upcoming games. "So, the Queen has been doing an amazing job with Abby," Williams
