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
"I know you're mad at me, but I'm sincerely apologizing to you, whatever that happened was not our fault, it wasn't the fault of the palace authorities either." Mom added as all I did was to remain silent.This was one of the characters I'd posses, I could go silent on you, and whatever you do or say wouldn't change my mind except I decided to give it a chance.But the fact that she was my mom and I had to give her a chance was quite annoying, but I had to do it anyways"Mom do you know how I feel, do you know how hurt I am?" I asked staring at her from the mirror, drops of tears had their way flowing down my cheeks."I know baby, but we were as helpless as you, your father is a high ranked werewolf in the pack, he is the second in command but with that he couldn't still manipulate the customs of the pack and that's because it's an outstanding rule that cannot be influenced, no matter what." Mom replied.I saw no sense in this absurd custom, more than that it only pissed the hell out o
Bailey's POV "Are you sure about believing him Bailey?"Tyler asked as we strolled to where my car was packed. "I think it the only way for me to find out if what he was saying was the truth you know" I explained and they gave both have a smug smile. "What ever you say Bailey, you just need to know that we got your back all the time." Tyler tapped me on my back softly. "I know you do and that's the reason why I love the both of you." As I spoke, Katie walked to us. "I'm back." She tightened her grip on her school bag. "You done?"I asked and she nodded. "Yeah" "If you need our help Bailey, do not forget to call us. We would show up."Katie said her voice showing that she was ready to fine. We said good our bye and got into our cars ready to go. Getting into my car, I gave a sigh, slumping on the seat trying to call everything that had happened. I could still recall everything that had happened in the last days. A few days to my birth and these happened. I liked him, I know that
Bailey's POV Tossing and turning, I woke with a panging head, I yawned and sat up the bed, realizing that I had slept in the Alpha's room. I missed him but he had a hand in all of this, he hadn't told me anything about it, he made me feel like I could trust him but I couldn't trust him. I climbed down the bed softly and arranged it before walking out of his room. I strolled to my room and got out of my clothes so I could have my bath. Sinking myself deep in th bath thiub I gave a sigh of relief, I needed this. After a long bath, I got ready for school. Some how and for the first time I was happy about going to school and it was because I would be far away from my parents and this house that caused me lots of troubles. I picked up my school bag and walked out of my room I got to the dinning and mom and dad where there getting served by some maids. Lifting my chin high, I walked pass with the intention of not having breakfast and not speaking to them, I wasn't so far away from t
