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
Bailey's POV"No. No. No! Dad! Dad!"He was being swallowed up by the velvety darkness and suddenly, I woke up with a fright and I sat up and stared into my dark room. I exhaled. It was just a dream. Dad was okay. He wasn't hurt. I rubbed my eyes and was unsure of when exactly I had fallen asleep. I felt around my bed and my hand brushed the book. I remembered now; I was reading it and then I dozed off.I looked outside the window and I noticed that it was raining pretty hard. That was very unexpected. There had been nothing but clear skies for a while now. I looked at my phone and it was just 3am. I stretched and that was when I smelt it.I sniffed the air and the strange smell was stronger than ever, basically in the same room with me. I was terrified and I turned on the bed side lamp in my room and I saw it: clad in a thck cloak that covered him head to toe.I froze and was unable to move. The shadow of the hood he wore concealed his face and I eyes and it fel like I was looking a
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
