Alpha Grey's POVBailey's words meant so much to me. I pulled away from her and stroked her cheek."I have to go now. I have something important that I need to do."She frowned a little; I knew that she didn't want me to go. I didn't want to leave her either.I gave her one final hug and got off of her. She sat up and watched me leave her room.I headed to my room and closed the door behind me. I ran my hands through my hair in exasperation. I nearly lost control of myself and marked her. I promised her dad that I wouldn't until everything was right. I had lost control of myself and nearly broke my promise to Recce.I sat on my bed and began to think of all that had just happened between us. I was truly tired like she had rightly noticed. I and Recce had spent the whole day looking for the codex and the search was futile and we were barely able to cover the entire archive. I needed more help but I trusted no one except Recce. It was a really stressful day and I just wanted to bury all
Bailey's POVI was up early the next morning. I wasa flurry of different emotions. I was going to try and talk to my friends again. I still had my finals and was also going to meet Councilor Zeph. I still thought about my howl the other day and I have been tempted to howl again ever since. My sense were now sharper but the weren't up to the standard they normal were if I had my wolf back.I brushed my teeth an had quick shower. I headed downstairs and mum ws still making breakfast."You are up very early today. I haven't even finished making breakfast.""I know. I just want to get to school earlier today and try and talk to them. Maybe wait for them in front of their lockers and talk to them."My mum came over and kissed my forehead."I'm proud of you sweety. I know that this is tough but everything is going to be alright in the end. Okay?""Thanks mum."She went back to the stove and soon breakfast was ready. I had a steaming stack of waffles on my plate with maple syrup. I immedi
Alpha Grey's POVI woke up so late. The sun was already up and it shone bright on my face through the windows. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I began to think of when I had fallen asleep. My hand brushed something beside me and I saw that it was the book that I was reading. I had fallen asleep while I was reading it. As I opened it and glossed over the picture again, the thought of Bailey popped into my head. She had probably gone to school.I groaned as I dragged myself out of bed. I was up late in the archives looking for the codex and I had barely gotten enough sleep. There was a knock at my dooor."Who is it?"The door opened with a creak and Recce popped his head in."You're still in bed? Gosh what were you doing all night?"I chuckled and got out of bed."I was in the archives. I thought I would do some searching and try and help us cover more ground.""Well you look a mess. You could have asked me to help you.""I didn't want to bother you."He glanced on my bed and saw the cl
Alpha Grey's POVWe looked at the four tunnels and we were unsure of where to start."Do you have your cell phone?" I asked Recce but he shook his head. We couldn't split up to cover more ground if there was only one light source.Our minds were made up and we entered the first tunnel. It was pitch black. I shone my light on the wall and they were decorated with pictures of and handwritting was sprawled across them.We walked deeper and deeper but with each step, I felt more and more skeptical. We had gone so far with nothing happening. As we took another step. There was a creak. I felt my hair on my neck stand on end.All was silent and soon, I heard distant whistling. I knew the sound all to well. My wolf senses took over and I pulled Recce to the ground with me."Get down!"We fell to the stone floor and put our hands around or heads as arrows flew past us. We didn't dare to rise our heads till we were sure that the coast was clear. Maybe we had made a mistake. The tunnels were boo
Bailey's POVI had a terrible day at school. My finals so far were going great but when I tried to talk to Katie and Tyler again, Katie got extra pissed. She yelled at me in the hallway and everyone was staring at us. I felt broken and sad. How could Katie still be this angry?I looked at Tyler but he simply looked away and Katie grabbed his hand and pulled him away. I stood in the hallway and all heads were turned to me. I was so embarrassed and I ran away to hide and cry. I never thought that my finals would turn out this bad.The bell rang after a while and I had to go back to my class. I passed Bryan on the way and he was with his jerk friends."Everyone hates you now! Congratulations on being the worst person ever."He snickered at me and his friends laughed with him. I ran into the class and sat at my desk and put my head on the desk. I didn't want anyone to see me. I didn't stop until I was sure that the next paper was coming.That was how I wrote the rest of my exams that day
Councilor Zeph's POVI was home drinking tea. I looked at the wall clock and watched the hours go by slowly. Miss Recce would be home from school soon and I would wait for her in the forest. She was so gullible. I knew she would come back for me to teach her more. I was simply building her trust. Her father had probably told her not to trust me. I growled as I remembered Beta Recce. He was a gullible fool just like his daughter, hiding behind too much pride.I sipped my drink slowly. A few more hours now. I was going to help Miss Recce get her wolf back but she would have to exchange the secret of the the codex for it. I was in no rush though. Today I would help her unlock another part of her wolf to further endear her trust.I picked up a newspaper and began to read. My eyes skipped the words and my mind went straight to Alpha Grey. He had been silent for a while. What was he up to? Probably busy frolicking with the Beta's daughter I am sure. I would never be in a pack where a chil
Bailey's POVI looked at Councilor Zeph as he thrusted the knife towards me. He had to be joking. There was no way I was going to cut myself."Are you scared little pup? You just healed yourself from a terrible injury. What wiill a little knife cut do to you."I was not convinced. This had to be some kind of sick joke. I wasn't going to cut myself. I looked the blade as it glistened in the evening ssun. I looked at Councilor Zeph and he had a cunning smile on his face."Well, seems you are a pup. I can't believe you are scared of a little knife cut. Well in that case..."He sheathed the dagger and put it in his pocket and started to leave.I was no longer apup and I didn't appreciate that he called me one."Wait."He stopped in the spot, his back turned to me and spoke."Yes, young Miss Recce.""I'll...I'll do it."He turned slowly and looked at me in the eye. He had a smirk on his face."Excellent."He turned around and handed me the blade. I took it with shaky hands and unsheathed
Bailey's POVI looked at Alpha Grey and I wasn't sure of what to do but then he looked at me with the most handsome smile and I ran right into his arms.He hugged me so tight and he pulled me so close and I filled my nostrils with his scent. I felt like I hadn't smelt it for years.I looked up at his warm grey eyes and he suddenly warmed my lips with a kiss. I closed my eyes and groaned as his soft lips danced across mine, savouring his taste and warmness. I could feel his grip around my waist becoming tighter and I could tell that he missed me too.He carried me up and soon, I could feel myself put down on a table. I ran my hands through his soft silky hair and he pulled me tighter to him. I could feel something hard touching my crotch and his breathing was deep and husky. He finally pulled away from me and looked at me deep in my eyes. I was blushing terribly but he stroked my cheek and pushed my hair out of my face."Bailey," he said under his breath. The way he said my name, the
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
