Alpha Grey POVI heard Beta Recce's voice and brushed myself up. I brought Bailey down from the table and set her back on her feet. I could see that she was trembling. She had probably done something wrong.I opened the door and Beta Recce walked in. He looked at Bailey with a poisonous stare and at me, coldly."Do excuse me with my daughter, Alpha Grey."Beta Recce took Bailey back outside and closed the door. I could hear him scolding her. Something about eevesdropping and running away when her mother was calling her. I sat back on my chair and waited for Beta Recce to finish. I knew he wanted to talk to me. He wouldn't have come up to my office just to scold his daughter when he knew quite well that he could scold her all he wanted when she got back to her room. I did some work while I waited and soon Beta Recce came in and I could see a silhouette of Bailey going down the stairs."I'm sorry for that Grey. I needed to talk to my daughter.""It's alright Recce. You have always been t
Bailey's POVMy dad took me out and closed the door behind him."Bailey what is wrong with you?""I'm sorry dad. I needed answers.""Bailey, you are too young to listen to these things.""I'm not dad. I want to help. I want to make thing right."My dad looked at me with sad eyes."Go to your room. You should go and talk to your mum later. You really hurt her with your storming out."I didn't say anything more. I headed back downstairs and to my room. I was furious with my dad. Couldn't he see that I just wanted to help. And what the hell did he mean by that I was 'too young'. I was eighteen for crying out loud. That is an adult in human society but in wolf society, an adult is a sixteen year old wolf.I closed the door hard and sat on my bed. I was upset with what dad had told me but as I remembered the things Alpha Grey had said, I began to smile. At least he understood things a little. But I needed to get answers about the jewel. I needed to talk to Miguel but there was no way that t
Bailey's POVSoon the dark clouds began to gather over head. It was going to rain soon. The wind began to blow violently and mum and I had to go inside. I hated when it rained a day before a school day. The streets would be wet and muddy and I'd have to walk to school in all the filth and evade so many puddles. Mum and I just managed to head inside before the first drops started to fall. We sat at the dinning table and listened to the pitter and patter of the rain on the roof and windows. Suddenly, my eye caught the cover of mum's book."What book are you reading?""Oh this little thing. It's called 'The Alpha's Pup Mate' by Paula White. I love her books. Your dad thinks her fiction is a little delusional but he has terrible choice when it comes to books anyway."I giggled."You know something? The female lead kind of reminds me of you a whole lot.""Really?""Yeah.""Well...does it end happily?""Hmmm... I wouldn't know. I'll just have to keep reading to the end to find out, won't I?"
Bailey's POV"Oh hell no!"I couldn't be late for the test. There was no way that I was prepared to fail my favourite subject in the whole world. I jumped out of bed as fast as could and ran into the shower. I had barely spent two minutes in there bathing and brushing my teeth. I zoomed out and put on the first pair of jeans and shirt that I could find in my wardrobe. I didn't even have time to comb my hair; Greek History was way more important than getting my hair in order. I looked at my phone; I had fifteen minutes left. I threw my phone and books into my bag and flung myself down the stairs and out the front door. I barely had time to greet mum and dad, who were both having tea in the kitchen and talking like new lovers which explains why my secondary alarm, my mum, didn't wake me up this morning.She was always a late riser whenever her and dad got busy in bed."Hi mum. Hi dad. Bye mum. Bye dad."And like a flash, I whizzed out the front door. I ran as fast as my legs could carry
Bailey's POVKatie and Tyler drew closer to me."Alright," said Katie, "tell us this magnificent plan of yours."My eyes were wide open and before I could speak, Tyler interrupted me."Uh-oh, she has that look in her eyes."I was confused."What look?""Well," Tyler explained, "whenever you come up with some wacky idea you get this look in your eyes.""I do not.""Yes you do," said Tyler and he turned to Katie for support. She nodded her head in support of Tyler and I looked at them both as if they were crazy."Okay, name one instance that I had this so called 'look' in my eyes."Tyler and Katie were on a roll. It was as if they rehersed it."Remeber second grade, at the park," said Tyler."Uh-huh." Katie nodded her head and smirked."And then there was third grade, at the fair; fourth grade, at the beach; fifth grade at that birthday party and...""Okay enough." I was exasperated. They had made their point. Katie and Tyler laughed at me as I conceeded defeat."Well, we are waiting," s
Bailey"s POVSoon we got tired of the library and we headed outside to get some well needed fresh air. Katie and Tyler bought some ice-cream and I noticed them laughing together in the cutest way. Why did I feel that they looked so cute together?They looked back at me and saw me walking behind with my eyebrow all scrunched up. Tyler sighed and walked infront of me. I was so lost in thought that I bumped into him."Hey," I said as I felt the sudden impact."You're still thinking about what we said earlier, aren't you?""Is it that obvious?""Bailey, we've known you for years. Of course it's that obvious."I looked at them and sighed." Come on guys. Don't you think I should...?""NO!"Their voices were loud and more than clear."Alright, alright. But don't you think that...""Girl, if you keep talking, I will smack you upside your head. Let. It. Go."Katie's voice was firm as she held her ice-cream cone in one hand and put her other hand on her hip. She looked like Lara Croft but witho
Beta Recce's POVI was out patrolling. In as much as I had had a lovely happy session with my family and my wife–most especially–I was still very unhappy. I was angry and uncomfortable. My discussion with Alpha Grey still plagued my mind. I was angry and I had every right to be. That traitor had been in our dungeons for a while now and we still couldn't get any reasonable information from him. I hated Miguel as much as I hated Alpha Zane. He kidnapped my daughter and that Zane or should I say Tiffany, shot my wife. Those were one of my scariest days; in the hospital, seeing both my daughter and wife in bed, afraid if they would live or die. It's every father and husband's nightmare.The border was quiet and there was nothing in sight. There had been reports that Blemish Pack members were taunting us and invading our borders as a means of conveying the message of coming war. We hadn't been able to get any of them but I promised that if any of those dogs showed their face, I'd rip out th
Bailey's POVI lay on my bed waiting for the hours to pass. I was anxious and scared and excited at the same time. As I waited, I soon heard a loud cry. I walked out of the pack house to see what exactly was going on and I saw my dad come in with his squad and they were carrying two large wolves. I was mortified. I looked at my dad and was so scared. His hand was wrapped in a bandage. I wanted to cry and I ran towards him to hug him. He however didn't want one and silently and solemly pushed me gently aside and headed gloomily up the stairs to his room. I watched him sadly and headed back to mine. I sat at the edge of my bed and was in tears. What if it was dad who had been killed? I began to cry again and blame myself or all the misfortune that had happened. If I hadn't followed Miguel, none of this would have happened. It was only right that I got answers from him. I had to set things right. What if the next attack was on Grey or my dad. They were the only men that truly loved me in
Bailey's POV(Four Years Later)"Grey! Have you seen Aiden?!"I looked around the living room and behind the curtains but he wasn't there. Suddenly I heard giggling behind the door.I laughed and tip-toed towards the sound."I wonder where Aiden is? He seemed to have disappeared into thin air."The giggling came again and I couldn't help but smile.I opened the door and Aiden jumped out and into my arms."Mummy found me!"I smiled and kissed his forehead."Yes. Mummy did find you. Now, where is your sister?"I looked around the room and could see a little black head peeking out from behind the curtains that I hadn't checked behind."I see you Charlotte!"She came out laughing and ran into my arms. I hugged her and lifted her up with her brother. I kissed her forehead and she giggled too.I had never thought that I would be so happy. Grey came behind me and put his arms around my waist and kissed my cheeks."Are we all getting free kisses" he whispered naughtily in my ear.I put Charlot
Alpha Grey's POVI was so anxious to see Bailey. I had barely slept the night before and I was jittery all over. We couldn't see each other. I was so excited to see her and get it over with.I had planned the whole wedding. I wanted it to be a special surprise. Before the evening came, Recce and I had gone to the venue. We had chosen the beautiful spot in the forest near the waterfall and flowers. It looked stunning and had managed to remain untouched despite the ravaging war. Everything was set and what was left was for Bailey and the other ladies to come.I couldn't sit still. Every few minutes I was checking my watch and watching the sky, looking out for the first moon. Recce could see my anxiety and he walked up to me."Grey, you need to calm down. This isn't going to make the earth rotate any faster you know."I sighed. Recce was right but he couldn't blame me for being restless. It was finally happening. The pain and troubles and hurt were finally over. I was finally going to
Bailey's POV"Ouch! Katie! The bun is too tight."Katie was a bit rough with my hair. She was really jumpy and I couldn't get her to stand still."I am sorry. I'm just really excited for you. The Luna ceremony is going to be big. The moon will be bright and I just want you to look amazing."I knew that she just wanted to help and I couldn't lie, I was really excited and nervous. The Luna ceremony was tonight. I almost couldn't believe it. It was finally happening after all this time. I was finally going to be with Grey.I hadn't seen him all day. We weren't allowed to see each other before the ceremony and all the waiting was making me anxious.The door flung open and Katie and I jumped in fright but there was no one there. We suddenly heard cute noises and we looked down. Charlotte had crawled in. We giggled and I went over to pick her up. She was a few months old and she was very strong. I was actually scared that she would rip my door off it's hinges.She giggled as I tickled her a
Bailey's POVIt had been two days since the war and the pack house was a flurry of activity. Dad was exceedingly busy. Since Grey was incapacitated, he had to take up responsibilities until he was awake. The evacuees were back to their homes and everyone was pitching in to get the pack back in order.I, on the other hand, spent everyday beside Grey. Mum and I would take turns babysitting Charlotte. She was a bundle of joy and the entire pack welcomed her with open arms.Most times she would sit with me in the room, watching Grey and she had taken quite a liking to him. She would want to touch him and hold his hand as well but on this particular day, I was alone.Sometimes I could see his eyes moving through his eyelids but he wouldn't wake up or his breathing would be deeper at some intervals.The codex and the Sapphire were kept at his bedside. Wolves that were close to it usually felt increase in power and strength and it was thought best to leave it near him so that he could heal f
Bailey's POVI watched almost breathlessly. The light was going out quickly but Grey was still not awake. What was he doing?I placed a hand on his chest, wishing and praying and finally, the light went out. It was over. I felt my heart shatter. He didn't make it. I lowered my head and began to cry. Grey was gone.Suddenly, I felt his chest heave a little. I looked up quickly and he took a gasp of air. His eyes were still closed tight but he was alive! The doctors around me were astonished and looked at me in surprise but I only had eyes for Grey. My eyes were glistening with tears as I watched his wounds slowly heal. It was going to take a while but he would recover fully. He was badly injured.I turned to the doctors and they were all wide eyed."He will be fine. I don't know when he will wake up properly but he needs a lot of rest. As much as he can get."The nodded and left the room. I was alone with him and I took his hand in mine and felt the warmth returning back to him as I wa
Alpha Grey's POVI gasped and opened my eyes but all around me was white. I couldn't see anyone or anything. All was silent. Where was I? I got up from the mesmerizing white marble floor and looked around the emptiness that surrounded me. Still nothing.I touched myself frantically. Was I dead or was I alive? I couldn't tell. In that blank room, only one thought came to mind–Bailey. The last thing I could remember was me pushing Zane out of the way and then, everything went dark.I felt tears well up in my eyes. I wasn't able to protect her. I had failed. The room suddenly felt cold and the lonliness crept up on me. Never before had I craved the warmth of my mate the way I craved her now.I walked a little in the empty space. I had no idea if I was going forward or backward. All I knew was that I was moving away from where I was. I had no idea how long I walked but soon, I saw something in the distance. It lay on the floor, lifeless.I walked even faster then it turned to a run and w
Bailey's POVZane's loss was too much for him to bear. There was no way that he could have survived. His mate was killed and he was seriously maimed.I turned and faced my dad and his mouth was wide open in shock. I dropped Zane's body and walked up to Grey's and prodded him gently with my nose. He was motionless. I couldn't hear no breathing or heartbeat. I let out a sorrowful howl and lay down beside him.My dad rushed over to me and Grey and stroked his friend lovingly as he shed tears of sadness. We had to get him out of here. I was still in my green and gold form and I touched Grey's body and he turned back to his human form.I looked at my dad with sad eyes and gestured to him to put Grey on my back. It might be too late but I was going to take him back to the pack to get medical attention. Dad put Grey on my back and walked over to Zane's body. I could see the anger and loathing in his eyes as he took the Saphire that hung around his neck. As soon as he removed it, it reverted
Bailey's POVI looked at Zane. The blue flames around him were bright and imposing but I wasn't scared of him. I looked at Grey's body that lay in the corner. He had used his last breath to save me. I owed him my life and I was ready to die for him."A little transformtion will do you no good, little pup. Get ready to join your mate."I was silent and stared daggers at him. I watched his every move. The forest was still and the night was in full glory but the light from both of us gave the sky a mixture of light; the colours blue, green and gold clashed beautifully in the sky, lighting it up in a intricate dance.There was calm and all was still. It felt like the entire forest had stopped to watch us. Even the breeze had stopped blowing and the birds had ceased their chirping and were waiting for our showdown.Then he charged. His black fur whipped behind him and the blue flames encircling him got even brighter as he ran full speed towards me. I didn't move however, and dug my claws
Bailey's POVI took a step back as he growled at me. I looked at Tiffany's body which lay limp on the ground. She deserved what she got. I was not sorry. I turned to Zane and the slits in his eyes glinted with a dangerous fire. I stared at him and tried to be brave.He stopped growling and spoke to me via the telepathic link."Such young and youthful blood. I'm going to give you the chance to let me kill you slowly. I will count to five and you have to be on the run. I want to make sure that you die like the little frightened girl you are. One, two..."I shifted into my wolf and took a cautious step back."Three, three and a half..."I still didn't run. I had made up my mind to face him."You made a wrong choice little Luna. Four, five!"In a flash, he pounced at me but I was able to get out of his way. My wolf was slightly smaller than his, less bulky and more nimble. I had the speed advantage and he knew. He activated the Sapphire in his chest and lunged towards me again. I was u
