Tiffany's POVI saw the miserable look on Bailey's face and couldn't help but laugh in mockery. I pushed her again and she fell with the chair to the ground. That was were she belonged: in the dirt with the pigs.I walked out and headed to my mate's room. He was on the balcony watching the sunrise. We had two days until the exchange and we both couldn't wait to get our hands on the jewel."My Alpha," I said in a seductive voice. Zane turned and looked at me and smiled. He was as dashing as Grey and had a cunning mind that made him overpoweringly sexy. He walked to me and I took in his scent. I never thought the Moon-Goddess would give me another mate. His smell was intoxicating and it made my head all fuzzy. I knew he felt it too and he kissed me deep. After my last mate rejected me, I had almost forgotten what it felt like to kiss your mate. How intoxicating and passionate his every touch felt like, the feeling of never wanting to stop. He picked me up, still kissing me, and pinned me
Alpha Grey's POVMy discussion with Beta Recce encroached into a new day. The sun was new and it marked the beginning of another anxious day. It was beautiful but it also reminded me that I had two days left to get Bailey back safely and after which, I would have to prepare for war. These were the sacrifices I had to make. Beta Recce was understanding and he knew what was about to be given up for his daughter and he had agreed to take full responsibility. He was truly a man of honour.I went to the Recce's home and saw Mrs. Recce with red puffy eyes. She had been crying for days. She missed her daughter. She looked at me with sad eyes and I nodded quietly to her. I was going to get her daughter back. She gave a sad smile and continued to sob into her handkerchief. She had been through a lot of stress lately and all because of one naughty little child. I tried my best to comfort her but it was futile. Beta Recce looked at me reassuringly. He would comfort her the best he could and I nod
Bailey's POVI wasn't sure of how many days had passed. My senses of perception were all dulled by the pain that was coursing through my body. I was only aware of my pain and hurt. I had been left on the floor for a while and I hadn't eaten in days. My stomach felt like needles lined them but there was nothing I could do.I felt the warm rays of the sun hit me through the small window in the room. I wondered why it was now but it gave me a new feeling of hope. My wolf had stirred once or twice in my head and I tried to summon her strength but my weak body wouldn't let me. Finally I could get my claws out. I was able to shift my tightly tied wrists a little bit and soon I had cut the ropes on my left wrist. My body thanked me as blood finally flowed through my palms properly, for the first time in days. I waited for the numb sensation to ease off then cut my other wrist free. Finally my hands were where I could see them. I moved my fingers a little and inspected the rope burns on my wri
Alpha Zane's POVI had to leave my beautiful Luna for a very boring meeting. Tiffany had been amazing. She was beautiful, alluring and smart. My previous Luna had died in a war and I thought that the goddess would never bless me with another mate.Tiffany had come wondering into our borders and she was captured by my guards and brought to me. Immediately I saw her and got the whiff of her scent, I knew she was my mate and she knew I was hers. She had literally been delivered to my doorstep. It was magic in it's purest form. I was so happy to have her.I sat in my office going over some files that concerned the pack's welfare. Being an Alpha was a big responsibility so brief moments I got to spend with my mate were the best moments of my life. As I looked over a report of a supposed attack on our Western border, I heard a loud, frantic knock on my door. I didn't give permission and it was immediately flung open. Two guards with terrible injuries came in and dripped blood all over my fre
Bailey's POVAs I ran, I could hear the wolves running after me. I didn't know what day it was but all I knew was that I needed to get away from them as quickly as possible. I knew where the pack border was and ran in that direction. I could still hear the growls and snarls of my pursuers. I needed to do something else or they would catch me; I was a weak, injured and hungry wolf, there was no way I could keep ahead of them for long.I tried to weave through the thick trees but my white blood-stained fur coat was too conspicuous and they continued to run after me, not relenting in their pursuit.One made a pounce for me and I took a sharp left and he crashed into a large tree. The rest continued the chase while one stayed back to help their friend. I now reached a clearing and I was immediately surrounded. I looked all about me and there were wolves all around. This was the end. They were going to capture me and take me back to that wretched place and torture me even more and probably
Bailey's POVI walked slowly through the forest. My steps were slow and sluggish and I was sweating profusely. The venom from the snake was really beginning to set in. The two day statistics for immunity from the bite was applicable to a fully grown adult wolf. I was still a teenager and I probably would die quicker. My hand that had grabbed the thorny branch oozed blood and the two bite holes on my arm began to ooze a purple liquid. I was dying slowly and I knew it. I wasn't going to live but I would have preferred to die, with apologies to Alpha Grey on my lips and not in this desolate forest.I would have preferred to die tell my parents that I loved them and that I was sorry for everything I had done to cause them pain and hurt. I wanted to die a death knowing I had told the people I cared about the most, that I was sorry and that I loved them.I walked some more and I tripped over a root. My face was in the dirt but I had no strength to carry myself up. I simply rolled on my back
Bailey's POVI looked at my sides in horror and shock. How did I get here? How did I lose track of time so badly? Everyone froze in their positions and I saw, beside Alpha Zane and Tiffany, a girl tied up with a sack over her head, with equally blood stained clothes, struggling. My eyes opened wide as I pieced the puzzle together. They wanted to give Alpha Grey the slip up by giving him someone they dressed as me.The silence was deafening, then suddenly Tiffany made a dash towards me. Alpha Grey interpreted her move a little late and dashed towards me as well. I felt like I was between two walls that were closing in on me and there was nothing I could do about it. In the closing seconds, Tiffany got to me first just seconds before Alpha Grey could reach me. She put me in a choke hold and put a knife to my throat."Stand down Grey!"Alpha Grey stopped dead in his tracks and looked from me to Tiffany. Tiffany didn't relent on her threats. She brandished the knife closer to my throat and
Bailey's POVI turned and heard a coughing and chocking sound. I was horror struck. I and Alpha Grey looked behind us. Beta Recce was on the floor. His hands were bloody. I looked at the body he cradled and it was–mum! What was she doing here?!"I told her not to follow us! I told her to stay home!" My father was beside himself tears. Mum had gotten impatient and followed them secretly behind and as she rushed towards me and Alpha Grey, she got into the line of trajectory of the arrow."Mum!" I rushed towards her and fell to my knees crying. What had I done?Alpha Grey was furious. He looked at Alpha Zane and Tiffany with a glowing hate in his eyes."You pack of dogs!"He turned into his wolf and took a leap forward."Easy now, Grey. Remember, I have the jewel. I may not know all it's secrets but I know just enough to kill us all. Do you want to risk that? Go on. I dare you."Alpha Grey snarled and growled."Step back," said Zane with a smug look on his face.But Alpha Grey didn't stan
