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
Beta Recce's POVI was in my room when I heard Bailey softly open the door. I didn't look at her though. I was too miserable and I didn't want her to see the misery on my face. She called my name gently and I tried my best to blink away the tears. She walked to me and hugged me and I felt warmth and love. This was just what I needed; I felt foolish for pushing her away earlier when she tried to give me one. As a dad and Beta to the pack, I was supposed to be strong. I didn't want her to feel my weakness. I was ashamed of myself earlier. I couldn't even protect my comrades. What sort of Beta was I?As she talked, I smoothed her hair. She was scared of losing me and I understood the fear. As much as we all tried to go about our daily lives, the threat of Blemish Pack dampened the atmosphere everywhere everywhere I went. I was even more scared of losing my wife and my beautiful daughter. They were all I had and I couldn't imagine my life without them. As a Beta, I was destined to probably
Bailey's POVI put on my oven mittens and brought the cakes out of the oven. I placed them on the kitchen table and looked at the cakes with uncertainty in my eyes. They smelled wonderful but I was unsure if they were going to knock the guards out. I sniffed the air trying to see if I could discern the scent of the pills from the scent of the the sugar and butter but I couldn't. What if they didn't work? All this would be for nothing.They cakes were still cooling while I was deciding if I should put icing sugar or not. Who like cakes without frosting? My mind was made up and I prepared the frosting sugar as the cakes cooled. If I was going to put up this illusion, I had to put in my very best to make it real. As I prepared the frosting, my mind was immediately set alight with something else I didn't prepare. What on earth was I going to tell the guards that I was doing up so late? They all knew me as the daughter to the pack's Beta. I sighed sadly at this realization and sat sadly at
