Chapter 54I couldn't contain my excitement as I watched the glistening waters of the water park ahead. I had been wanting to come here for a while but I wasn't ready to deal with the world but Miguel had convinced me to come along. We were both standing at the entrance, dressed in our swimsuits, ready to take on all the rides and attractions that awaited us.Miguel and I were becoming very close in these past few weeks I was thrilled to spend the day with him. As we walked into the park, we were greeted by the sound of laughter and screams coming from all directions. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins as we made our way to the first ride.We started with the water slides, which were a blast. We screamed our lungs out as we went down the twists and turns, splashing into the pools below. Next, we went on the lazy river, where we lounged on tubes and floated downstream. We also went to the wave pool where we jumped waves and played games with other people in the pool.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm, groggy and disoriented. The events of prom night flashed through my mind and I groaned, dreading another day of the same taunts and stares.I dragged myself out of bed and got dressed, steeling myself for another day of school. I knew that the hallway would be filled with whispers and stares, and my heart raced at the thought.I was really happy yesterday because it was a Sunday, I had fun with Miguel and no one bullied me. I just hope that today won't be bad.Walking out of the pack house, I met Miguel's in his car waiting for me. He didn't have to come and pick me up but he did. He got out of the car and opened the door for me. seating in I took in a deep breath.He got into the car and turned to me."How was your night.""It was fine" I replied, forcing a smile. It was good to see a friendly face, but I still felt overwhelmed by the situation."How are you? You don't look good'' he asked, concern etched on his face."I'm okay, I guess," I said, sh
I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my face as Miguel held me close. My mind kept replaying the events of prom night over and over again, and each time I blamed myself more and more. Miguel kept telling me that it wasn't my fault, that I shouldn't blame myself, but I just couldn't help it. I felt so weak and feeble."I'll make it up to you, Bailey," Miguel said, his voice filled with determination. "I promise."I looked up at him, my eyes still wet with tears. "How?""I don't know yet," he admitted. "But I'll figure something out. Just trust me, okay?"I nodded, grateful for his support. We stayed like that for a few more minutes, just holding each other, until the bell rang and it was time for us to go to our next class.The rest of the day was a blur. I couldn't focus on anything the teachers were saying, and I just wanted to go home and crawl into bed. But when I got to the parking lot, Miguel told me that he was taking me somewhere first."Where are we going?" I asked, conf
I woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing in my ears, signaling the start of a new school day. I groaned and hit the snooze button, burying my head under the covers. I didn't feel like going to school today. I had a lot on my mind, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been with me since yesterday.Yesterday, Miguel had told me something that had left me feeling confused and unsure of what to do. He had confessed that he had feelings for me, and I didn't know how to react. I didn't know if I felt the same way, and I didn't want to hurt him.And today I didn't know why but I wanted to avoid him, I skipped my first few classes and wandered through the halls, trying to clear my head. But my thoughts kept circling back to Miguel, and I couldn't concentrate on anything else. I didn't even realize how much time had passed until I heard a stern voice behind me."Bailey, what are you doing here?"I turned around to see the Geography teacher Mrs Johnson, looking at me with a
After a long night, though it was a short one, but compared to what happened yesterday, it was more longer to me than to anyone else. What we did last night; I and Miguel, though I wasn't expecting it, but I thought of it to be a better option if I didn't get to think about it now. After a sluggish but energizing stretch, I felt good and not restrained by lazy muscles. I took my gaze to my phone, I had to check it, this was something I get to do every morning, literally there was no day I don't wake up without checking on my phone, it had turned out to be a hobby for me. I was stunned to see a message from Alpha Grey he was apologizing after last night's incident. I wasn't expecting that he apologizes after everything, but my thoughts were proven to be wrong. I released a smile when I got to glance at how he constructed his words, and to say that they were really beautiful. "Thank you so much." I muttered after reading the message, I then sent a reply to him. As I threw my phon
Bailey's povI've never done this, I have never hunted in my life ever, I barely knew what I would carry as I just left barehanded.Hunting had some rules and guidelines to follow but I barely took notice nor did I know anything about them either, I was a toddler when it came to stuffs like this, but out of anger I had left home.I wanted to show mom and dad that I was independent and could handle the things around me just perfectly. I needed none of their help,and wouldn't give them the cancel to underrate me.While I was walking in the woods, I then caught sight of a really small animal, it should be an antelope and thought of snaring it, but then at making an attempt it fled with so much speed that I couldn't even catch sight of it.I turned away in sadness, my parents words coming back to my head, they were not going to coronate me because they feel I'm useless and not like a werewolf, I just felt had about this.To think they have being fooling me with all of the birthday preparat
Bailey's POV "You had fainted back then in the woods after being attacked by the ruthless rogues that almost hurt you." He reminded me.My eyes darted to him as though recalling something while he stared silently to me, probably waiting to hear what it is that that i had to say."I...I think I remember now." I muttered as I could see him release a smile.My memories were now coming back afresh. It was all about the fact that I had heard mom and dad discuss about the Coronation.Getting to hear that I wouldn't be a beta if I didn't have a mate was discouraging and disheartening, I more or less thought low of myself as my self esteem had decreased greatly.This was the least of news I ever expected to get to behold, especially when it was coming from father's lips.Rightfully, I was supposed to take his place as a beta after he was gone, it was my entitlement to take over the position as his first and only heir.But then getting to hear that I wasn't going to be crowned a beta simply be
After a peaceful sleep. I slowly opened my eyes, and I could see the rays of sunlight that peeped from the window into my room.Although I was feeling weak to get up from bed, but I still tried, with flickering lids, I finally forced them open as my gaze rested on the ambiance around.I took a whiff of the air around me, and I could tell that it was a new day indeed.My mind immediately went back to I and Alpha Grey's conversation last night, getting to remember that he knew about this Coronation and just didn't give me a hint about it got me upset again.He was just creating reasons for me to always get upset.I walked my way to the bathroom to have some fresh bath, it was a new day at school, and to say, I was really ecstatic about this.Things weren't like before when I get bored of school's affairs, I most times didn't really like going to school, all because Jennie gives me a hard time and was busy and good at spoiling my name, and bad mouthing to the entire students.She literall
