Beta Recce's POV"No, I do not understand what you mean! I don't believe, even for a fleeting second, that my daughter was cheating in that exam!"I was trying my hardest to keep my voice calm and cool and my wife sat beside me and was petting my arm softly."Mr. Recce, she was caught with a paper that had the exam anwers on it.""She told me that someone threw it at her and she kicked it away but your examiner blamed it on her!""Mr. Recce, I'll have you know that we hire te best and most professional examiners to supervise exams like this. Well, we will have to wait for the examiner to be come with your daughter and we can both hear their sides of the story."I sat on my chair quietly and tried my best to control my rage. How dare he insinuate that my daugter was cheating and without a propr investigation?Soon Bailey walked into the office with a tall elderly lady that had the pointiest nose that I had ever seen."Ah, Ms. Georgina, there you are," said the principal in a calm voice
Bailey's POVI was surprised seeing Katie and Tyler there. What were they even doing?"Might I ask what the both of you are doing in here?""We are sorry for barging in Sir but we have evidence that Bailey is innocent."The principal looked livid and I knew he wanted to send them out but the look on mum, dad and Grey's face was a big deterrent."Could we please see this evidence?" asked my dad polietly. It was the politest that he had been since I came in. I had seen my mum stretch her hand across me to rub his arm so that he wouldn't go ballistic on the principal. I watched as Katie pulled out her phone and showed my mum, dad and Grey a video that Tyler had taken of Bryan and his friends. They were talking and it seemed like they thought that they were alone. They were in the bathroonm and Bryan was talking about how he was happy that he framed me for the cheating and hoped that I got what was coming to me. I was not too surprised. I should have known that he was behind it all alo
Councilor Zeph's POVI stood in the forest waiting for young Miss Recce. My heart was pounding violently in my chest. What if she didn't come? What if she had decided that she was going to settle with what she had got? What if her father had told her not to come and was grounding her at home?I shook my head. No, she had to show up. She just had to. I couldn't bear the thought of breaking into the pack house to steal information. Grey, though I disliked him, would have my head off just as quick as Zane. I couldn't fail.I sniffed the air and tried my best to maintain my composure and not seem anxious but there was so much on the line to lose. She just had to show up. She just had to.I closed my eyes and listened and soon I could hear the sound of distant footstpes crunching up the dry leaves. I sniffed the air again and my nose caught a whiff of the scent. It was her. It had to be. The footsteps drew nearer and nearer and soon I opened my eyes snd saw Miss Recce walking up to me."Y
Beta Recce's POVI headed to the meeting and it was soon in session. If anything, I hated PTA meetings as much as I hated the ones with the council. I was highly uncomfortable and all the while, I was trying to keep my cool. I was still angry at that stupid principal and Ms. Funny-noseI watched as Grey stated his concern to the board of governors. I listened as hard as I could though all I wanted was for the meeting to be over already.I turned my head to the window and I caught a glimpse of Bailey dash out from the school and slip into the forest. I sat up in alarm. What was she doing? I told her a thousand times not to go there. My wife saw my distress and she tapped my hand lovingly."Are you qokay dear?" she said in a sweet whisper."I'm okay. I just saw Bailey. She went into the forest again," I whispered back to her. I was quite furious and I knew that she could tell."Just calm down. When we get home, we can talk to her. Maybe she went with her friends.""She was alone and..."
Bailey's POVI sat down quietly with my eyes closed and it felt like a nightmare had begun. In my mind, everything that I had every done wrong began to plague me. All the bad decisions that I had made, all the ways that I had hurt those that were close to me, all the fights I had with Grey replayed in my mind. I felt terribly guilty. I never thought that the hurt could have been buried in me for so long. I saw images of Ryna with Grey whenver they were going on their dates, I felt the hurt that Grey felt everytime I was Miguel. I felt the jealously I always felt, whenever I saw Grey with Ryna. I thought my heart was going to shatter in a milion pieces. I wanted this night mare to be over.I still kept my eyes closed and focused my thoughts. Despite everything, I was happy now. I wanted to be at peace with myself. Grey had forgiven me and my friends and I were cool. I slowly began to feel the pain and guilt ebbing away and gradually, I could feel my mind becoming calmer and calmer. I s
Councilor Zeph's POVI watched as Bailey was sent home and I was left alone with a heaving Recce and a silent Grey. I braced myself for the worst."I told you to stay away from my daughter, you snake."I scoffed."Maybe it's not me that's the problem."I could feel Recce's anger surging but I stood my ground. He was a dog. All bark and no bite."I helped your daughter Recce. Despite our differences, I helped her. I doubt you knew the first thing about getting her wolf back. Our personal strife aside, I care about this pack and I want to help it, especially in the fight against Zane. I have proved that I am worthy of your trust. If I hated you so deeply, I wouldn't have helped your daughter. Doesn't that speak volumes already?"I looked at Recce and he was silent for a while. I was surpressing anger within me. If they had not interevened, I would have gotten the information that I need form Miss Recce. I couldn't lose this opportunity. I was a memebr of the council and maybe I could co
Bailey's POVI was in my room; I had skipped dinner. I was really scared as to what dad would say when he got home.Mum had tried to calm me down but it wasn't working. I sat in my room alone but I was restless. Sometimes I would get up and I would pace around the room or I would sit on the floor. I watched as the hours flew by but nothing happened. I was too scared to look out of the window and check if dad was coming.Finally I braved it and I poked my head outside. I tried to listen as hard as I could but I could hear nothing. I sniffed the air and then, I could smell it. He was suddenly getting closer and closer but he wasn't talking. Soon he emerged from he forest and was walking rigidly beside Grey. I thought I was going to have a panic attack. My heart skipped so many beats that I was afriad that it would stop.I pulled my head back into the room and waited quietly on my bed, fidgeting with my fingers. I was nrvyous. Today started of so well but now look.I knew that dad was i
Alpha Grey's POVI got back to me room and I could feel my blood boiling hot. I had to leave Bailey's room. I felt myself being consumed by my passion for her. The feeling was exhilarating and refreshing and I felt stronger than ever. In my head, I could feel my wolf prancing arpound. He had never felt this happy in a while. I smiled and let him have his fun and flopped my bed, exhaling in satisfaction. I was more than happy.I thought about Bailey and guessed that she was probably already reading the book I have given her. The thought of it made me smile. Soon the smile vanished and was replaced by a solemn feeling. I had alot to do that evening. I had decided to go back to the tunnels with Recce to check out the passages again. We were better equipped this time and we weren't going to be taken unawares by any traps that had been set up. I had expected nothing less from a place that was probably hiding the most important book in the entire pack.I looked at my clock and it was about
