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
Alpha Grey's POVWe ran through the forest. I saw Bailey look at me with dizzy eyes and she fell limp in the arms of one of my servants. She was dying. I looked at Mrs. Recce; her breathing was getting weaker and weaker and Beta Recce looked paler and paler as he watched his family dying before him. He deserved better than this. He was a noble Beta. He should never have been caught in this mess. We kept running as fast as we could. The lives we were carrying were slipping away. After a long while, we reached the pack house. Bailey wasn't moving and Mrs. Recce had stopped breathing. We began to fear we were too late."Take them to the doctor!" I told my servants that came out to meet me. I gave the body of the servant that was shot dead to one of them and a nearby lady began to weep. She sobbed and cried and fell to the floor.I walked up to her and she looked at me through her teary green eyes."He marked me as his mate just yesterday. And now, he's gone." She sobbed even louder and I
Alpha Grey's POVI followed them quietly and I could feel the tension in the air. It was so thick that I could probably slice through it with a sharp enough knife. The hospital wing was downstairs but the doctor opted to take the stairs instead of the elevator. He was rushing ahead of Beta Recce and I. The nurse who had come to deliver the message took a sharp left and disappeared behind the corner into a ward. Beta Recce and I wanted to follow but the doctor held us back."Please wait outside. Let me check with the patient."He went inside and it was just I and Beta Recce that were left outside the ward. We sat on the bench waiting for news from the doctor. The silence between us was uncomfortable. We had never both been this tense before. He had been through so much and it was all because of me."Recce," I finally said after a long while, "I am sorry."He looked at me with sad eyes. I could tell that he had been crying too. I couldn't blame him. He too, needed to let go of the hurt h
Bailey’s POVThe last words of the doctor kept ringing in my head, “...Alpha, your heir died inside her."I had been wailing and crying but I immediately stopped. Maybe I had heard wrong. I cleaned my eyes and sat up and addressed the doctor.“What are you talking about?” I slowly took my head up and stared at the doctor. I dragged my very weak body to sit on the bed as I stared blankly at the doctor, my gaze moved to Alpha Grey's face to see if I was the only one that had second thoughts about what he said.His grey eyes were filled with hurt and I knew I had heard right. I couldn’t help but let down my tears again afresh."Tell me that all that you have said is a lie,” Alpha Grey's thick voice growled.The doctor backed away a little. Going toe to toe with Alpha Grey at this point was a bad idea for anyone.“There is no lie in what I have said, Alpha. She has lost the baby. I'm sorry."I looked at my dad. His expression was a mixture of sadness, surprise and confusion.“Grey, you had
Bailey's POVI cried as Alpha Grey said those words to me. He soon left the hospital ward and I was alone. My heart was shattered and I looked down at my tummy and rubbed it sadly. I was carrying Alpha Grey's child and now it was gone all because of my foolishness.As I wailed sadly, the doctor came in and tried to calm me down."Miss Bailey, you need to calm down. Your body is still weak and doesn't need to be under so much stress."But I wasn't going to listen. I wanted to die. I didn't want to exist anymore. Why was I still going ahead with my miserable life? The doctor left me as there was nothing that he could do to calm me down and he left and closed the door of my room sadly.After a while, I stopped crying and was sobbing silently. As I lay on my bed praying for death, my entire life flashed before my eyes. Every kiss I had with Alpha Grey, every touch, every argument played vividly in my mind. He was now the most important person in my life that all my thoughts were filled wit
