Alpha Grey's POVBailey left my office quietly and my head started to spin. Ryna, Bailey, Ryna, Bailey. It was like an endless circle of confusion. The image of Bailey running into my office and screaming at the top of her lungs replayed in my mind several times over. Ryna had called me baby infront of Bailey and she totally lost it. I rubbed my face in frustration. I nearly had two ladies fight over me in my own office. I thought back to Bailey's words. She said she 'loved me'. I had been, for months, trying to get her to say those words, to admit that she cared and loved me. But why was it now she was saying them? Why now that I had lost my jewel and my child? Why was she saying it now that my entire world was falling apart?I stood up and paced around my office. It was late but I couldn't sleep. So much had happened in such a short period of time. I sat back on my chair and thought back to the night that Ryna had come to my room to talk to me. I wasn't really in the mood to speak to
Bailey's POVI looked at him with tears in my eyes. This was all to much to bear. All that he said did make sense but this part about 'giving me time' didn't. As he spoke about wanting to reject me, my heart broke. I knew it. I knew he was thinking about it. I shed a silent tear as he finished telling me about it.When he was finally done, I looked up at him and spoke softly."Grey, we have been through a lot and most of it is my fault and I'm sorry I made you feel that way. You really hurt me by being with Ryna and I really hurt you by being with Miguel."I looked at him with pleading eyes."But we don't need more time Grey. We want each other. What do we need more time for? Please Grey, we don't need this. There is nothing left to think over. Giving both of us time is not the right way. It won't do us both any good. Ryna is out of your life and Miguel is out of mine. We are alone now, we need to be together."Grey looked at me. I could tell that he was thinking about what I had just
Bailey's POVI was actually very sad and I sat down alone in his office. Alpha Grey had left me for the second time. He was truly serious about the whole 'taking a break' thing. I left the plate on the table and headed to my room. I was miserable but I comforted myself. Maybe he wouldstart talking to me tomorrow. I had a cold bath and laid in bed. The doctors had cleared me to go to school. I was nervous as to what to expect. It felt like it was ages since I saw the four walls of my classroom. I however couldn't sleep. I tossed and turned in bed. I couldn't sleep. My mind was awake all night. The thoughts of the library incident still filled my mind.What if Alpha Grey still wants to reject me? What if he doesn't talk to me for weeks or even months? Just the thought of it all made me feel even worse. I tried not to cry but it was hard to keep the tears in. After a while, I drifted to sleep. As I slept I had dreams, both good and bad, about Alpha Grey. They were all possible outcomes of
Alpha Grey's POVI was trying to catch some sleep but I couldn't as I was too aware of Bailey's presence. She was standing and staring at me and I knew it. Soon there was a soft pressure on the bed and I could feel her soft breath on my face."Bailey," I said with a bit of annoyance."Alpha Grey," she said gently back.I turned my face away from her but she still was persistent. I turned again but she would not leave. In my annoyance, I sat up and looked at her."Bailey, what is all this about?"She looked at me and pouted a bit sadly"Alpha Grey, I just want to spend time with you. I don't want to do this break thing."I exhaled and looked at Bailey. She was just so stubborn. I calmed myself and spoke to her gently."Bailey, please, we need this. We need to heal. This break is there to give us time to think about what we feel for each other. Us being together has brought us so much pain. This is to help us be sure that we still want to continue."Bailey began making a sad face. I look
Bailey's PovSince I returned from the hospital, this has been the best time I've had with him. The warmth of his embrace lulls me into a deep and peaceful sleep. It's a feeling of safety and comfort that I've longed for, and for once, I can let go of all my worries.As the sun begins to peek through the curtains, I slowly open my eyes and find myself in my own room. Confusion clouds my mind for a moment. How did I end up here? Last night, I fell asleep in Alpha Grey's room, so why am I back in my own? I try to recall the events of the night before, searching for any clue as to what might have happened. Did Alpha Grey carry me to my room? The thought warms my heart, knowing that he would take such care of me.Curiosity propels me downstairs to the kitchen for breakfast. To my surprise, the chef has prepared a mouthwatering feast just for me. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the sight of beautifully arranged dishes make my stomach rumble with anticipation. It's clear that Alpha Gr
Grey's pov When I woke up it was already the next day. The sunlight shone directly from the opened window of my room in my direction. I tend to block the view with my hands when I see Bailey still sleeping. It was a long night for the both of us as we spent the entire night together. I could still remember how she curled up in my arms and wrapped her hands tightly around me.She must have missed me so much and yet I kept my distance from her. Damn! My heart aches whenever I think about it. Bailey had gone through a lot and I can't believe that I must have been adding so much pain to her too.Staring at the beautiful temptation called my woman, I was so engrossed that I didn't realize when my hands extended and touched her on the forehead and smoothed the silky curtain of hair away from her face.Although we need the jewel and my pack members are worried about the situation, Bailey is my utmost priority and because of that, I will never in my lifetime leave her side no matter what.Ju
Alpha Grey's POVBailey had a very intense injury on her foot and I was really worried. She wasn't able to take care of herself much less walk properly. I was home with her because of the intense pain from her injury. I asked how she was doing and if her foot still hurt but it took her quite a while before she replied. It was obvious that she was in a lot of pain. Her attitude was lacking the usual spark and it was cold and distant. I could only imagine what she was going through. She looked at me with sad, pleading."Are you going to work today?"I actually didn't hear her and was busy fussing over her injured foot."Alpha Grey," she said a bit louder this time, "are you going to work today?" I turned and looked at her. She grimaced in pain and I patted her foot softly."No I'm not." My eyes were warm and reassuring. "I just want to make sure that you're okay. You can barely walk and I don't want you getting some other hilarious hijink. For some reason, trouble always finds you." I wi
Bailey's PovThe next day, as I woke up, a sense of unease settled over me. Alpha Grey had been on a business trip, but he was supposed to have returned by now. My mind raced with worry, conjuring up all sorts of scenarios as to why he hadn't reached out or returned home. Was he in danger? Had something gone wrong? The uncertainty gnawed at my heart, leaving me restless and anxious.As I made my way to the dining area, the aroma of my favorite food filled the air. The chef had prepared a delicious meal, but I found myself unable to enjoy it. My thoughts were consumed by Alpha Grey and the questions that plagued my mind. Why had he kept something from me? Amid recent events, where Miguel, whom I had considered a friend, had deceived and kidnapped me, causing me to lose my unborn child, I had witnessed the lengths to which Alpha Grey would go to protect me. I had seen him sacrifice his precious Sapphire jewel, a symbol of his wealth and power, to save my life. But did I truly mean anythi
