David Appoints Asher
David appoints Asher to be his Beta. The decision is heavily questioned by the rest of the Pack, causing division and only increasing David's self-doubts. Asher faces severe skepticism and criticism from the Pack members, which shakes his confidence in his ability to do the job and puts him under heavy strain. He feels isolated not unlike David does, with the majority of his support system gone; his parents and sister no longer live in Dahlia, and his friendship with David, once a source of support and comfort, is becoming increasingly complicated and distant.
