Bailey's POVI looked at my father as he ran off after Miguel. I was surprised and I almost forgot that I was supposed to run after him. I dashed out through the door and jumped over the guards who had fallen on the floor and were still asleep–that sleeping pill was very effective. I was actually scared if they would even wake up. What if I had killed them?As I left the pack house, I could hear the shouts of the other wolves and about five or six guards ran in the direction of the forest. I had no choice and I ran after them as fast as I could. I could hear shouts and the warriors that were in front of me immediately shifted into their wolves and took off like the wind. I soon couldn't see them and I had to stop and was coughing terribly as they raised so much dust as they sped off. How on earth was I going to catch up to them?I didn't know what to feel. I was sad and angry and confused. My dad had almost killed Miguel. Maybe I was meant to be there; to save Miguel's life. I had to r
Bailey's POVI looked at him angrily. What did I do? If anything, I think he had more explaining to do than I did."Bailey, this is serious. What did you do?" His voice was tense and strained and full of anxiety.I exhaled and looked at him in the eye."I thought that I could get some answers from Miguel. I thought that maybe he didn't tell you or Grey anything because he was terrified of you guys and both of you want to kill him anyway.""Bailey, do you know how reckless that was? I'm not even talking about the 'drugging my guards' part. How did that even happen? How did you even find the tablets? I told your mother to put them away."I rolled my eyes. Did he really think I was that dumb? I had been aceing all my classes since the first grade. For the Goddess' sake, I wasn't dumb."Mum left them in the kitchen on the counter and when she told me what they were for, I took three tablets from her room when she left to see Katie's mum.""And you crushed those three tablets and added it t
Miguel's POVAs I ran through the forest, I could hear the wolves snapping viciously behind me, almost at my heels. Beta Recce's cry was the most terrifying of them all. I had barely escaped death's icy clutch. It was scary looking into his eyes and seeing the hate brimming as he grabbed my throat and stranggled the life out of meI continued to run and once in a while, I could almost feel his hot breath on my neck and his fangs about to bite down on my head. I was weak and I wasn't sure that I could shift into my wolf. The night was an inky black and there was no moon. I had no source to draw my strength from and I had been sparingly fed in a bid to keep me weak and unable to shift and break free.I ran though the forest and past the twisting trees. I was surprised how I was able to keep ahead of them for so long despite how weak and malnourished I looked. I jumped over a falled tree trunk and thought to lose them in the forest by taking an unexpected turn. They however dogged my move
Miguel's POVI looked at my mum and tried not to be shocked. I had been in captivity for weeks and she couldn't even send a rescue team for me and now she was asking if I knew anything about what was going on in Dark Moon pack. I looked from her to Alpha Zane and he had a dangerous look on his face. Well, they were not in luck because I wasn't going to tell them anything, even if there was something to tell."Nothing mum. They aren't doing anything."Alpha Zane looked at me furiously and turned to Tiffany."He is lying.""Zane calm down."She looked at me again and was a little more sterner this time"Miguel, if there is something to tell us about Dark Moon Pack, now is the best time to say it.""Mum, they kept me in the dungeons for weeks and none of you came to rescue me. I was alone. What did you expect me to find out?""Miguel, you must have heard something from the guards. Anything that could be useful to us.""I didn't hear anything mum."My voice was firm and final. There was no
Alpha Grey's POVI was up early in the morning. I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I was thinking about all that Recce and Bailey had said to me over the phone. I missed her so much and I couldn't wait to get home and see her. I was trying my best not to distract her as her final exams were fast approachinng and I wanted her to do well as she had always been doing. I thought about what I had said to Recce about marking Bailey after her final exam and I knew that he wasn't comfortbable with it. He had every right to be; he was her father and I knew that he was only looking out for her like every good father should. But then again, maybe I should give Bailey more time. The thought had be bothering me. Maybe I was actually rushing into things. The most important thing at the moment was stopping Blemish and now that I thought about it, I wouldn't want Bailey to marry me knowing that she could lose me at anytime if Blemish decided to go to war.I stood up from my bed and headed to the wind
Alpha Grey's POV"What! What do you mean by 'the prisoner has escaped'?! How?! When?!"I watched him exhale sadly"I went to interrogate him and..."I immediately flew into rage. I banged my fist on the table and I made a terrible dent in the table. I was definately going to have to replace it now."I strictly and explicitly told you not to interrogate him!""I wanted answers Grey!""And I told you that he had none to give!"I was exassperated and I paced angrily around the room. I couldn't believe that Recce had disobeyed a direct order.I walked back to my desk and sat down angrily. I bent my head low so that Rece couldn't see the glint in my eyes."How did this happen?""I went in the dead of the night to question him. I was trying to strangle the answers out of him. When I dropped him and watched him grovel at my feet, he then threw dust into my eyes and escaped through the cell door that I left open by mistake.""How did he get past the guards?""I asked them to leave their posts
Bailey's POVI spent the rest of the day with Grey. He buried me beneath his body and peppered my entire body with kisses. It was bliss. I couldn't believe I had missed him this much. Soon he stopped and kissed my forehead tentatively."Bailey, I need to get down to some important business."I looked at him with puppy eyes. Why now? I wanted to spend all day wrapped in his arms and hearing his deep voice cooing soothingly in my ears. I didn't want him to go yet."What's it about?"He exhaled aand kissed my lips softly again. I could tell that he was unwilling to let me go either, but then again, duty calls and as the Alpha, he had to answer."I need to set up a meeting with the council about the jewel."Immediately my mind was taken backwards to last night? Dad? Had he told Grey that Miguel had escaped? My face couldn't hide my fear and worry and Grey noticed it immediately."What's wrong Bailey?"I had to lie and I was going to keep my big mouth under control. Dad had really saved me.
Bailey's POVI spent the whole day in my room. It was getting late and dad brought me lunch. I guess he had told mum that he grounded me and gave another very plausible reason. I was hitting the books hard all day and sometimes I would stop to take a nap or play a few games on my phone. Dad hadn't grounded me in a long time and I had forgotten how lonely it was being grounded. I hated it.I looked up at the clock and saw that it was past 5:00pm. I looked out of the window and looked at the forest where dad, the wolves and I had chased Miguel. I wondered if he was alive and suddenly I began to doubt if he had told me the truth. The prophecy sounded bogus and untrue. Maybe he had just made it up to escape? What if he was planining that the whole time?I exhaled and shook the thought out of my head. The look in his eyes seemed so genuine this time. Maybe he was telling the truth. However, the only way that he could be justified is if we could find the mysterious gold and green adorned wol
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
