I looked at myself in the mirror one more time. My hair was down on my shoulders. I had a nude colored cropped hoodie on and a short black skirt.
I bit my lips as I walked back to the bed to get my bag. I didn't know why I was doing this but I know I was waiting for Miguel to come to pick me up.I told him I didn't want to go out but it was just a little date. It's not going to be so harmful. I looked at myself one more time in the mirror. My white socks were neatly arranged and my feet were stuck in white Nike sneakers. I looked good.I had earlier told mom that I would be going out for dinner with a friend and all she said was. "Okay baby but remember you have a curfew and do make sure to come back before your dad gets home." The honking of a car came in sharply and I walked to my window to see Miguel's car. He got out of the car and he looked so good. Finally peeling my eyes off him I walked to the mirror did my hair well and.I just wanted to look okay. I didn't want him to think I was a dork.I walked out of my room and headed down the stairs. "Where are you going?" The very muscular voice of Uncle Grey asked.I turned to see him sitting in the main room. What was he doing here?"Uncle Grey. You frightened me." I laughed a bit.Walking towards him I placed a kiss on his cheeks as he sat. "Bye Uncle Grey. I have a dinner date.""You have what?" He asked and I stopped moving."A dinner date." I turned back"I thought we agreed to talk this evening Bailey?" He asked and I furrowed my brows thinking of when I had said that."When did we agree to that? You forgot about our conversation, didn't you?" "I told you to come back home early. I had a surprise waiting for you." I thought back to earlier today in the Assembly hall."Shit!" I cursed "Don't curse!" He ordered."I'm sorry Uncle Grey. I didn't know you meant it." I replied."Have I ever said something that I didn't mean?" I thought he was getting agitated. I ditched my uncle for a guy. He must be so upset."I'm sorry Uncle Grey. I promise to make it up." "Goodbye." He said nothing. All he did was watch me walk out of the pack house.Getting to the car park and noticed Miguel standing by the side of the car as he waited for me."I was about to call you." He said not putting up with his eyes off me.
"Oh.""You look very beautiful Bailey. Who would have thought you looked this beautiful without the school uniform." He said and I smiled, creeps of blush forming on my face.Was I blushing because I was getting a compliment from Miguel?Miguel is a gentleman, he opened the door for me and I made sure I had my seat belt on before he drove off.We got to one of the fanciest restaurants here in Dark moon pack and I didn't expect it. I thought we'd go to some normal take out place but damn! He was taking this dinner seriously and I was glad that I dressed properly for it.I and Miguel selected what we would eat and then he called the waiter to come to take our orders.Had he always been a gentle guy or was he just putting up a charade?I'd always thought that he was a very hot-headed or rude guy because of the way he didn't speak to people and the one time he spoke to Jennie and insulted her. So I had to think he was rude and maybe a rascal but since that day he had been rather calm and quiet like he always was.The waiter returned with the food and the whole time the waiter was away I couldn't take my eyes away from Miguel. I kept looking at him.I was short of words.Did I forget to say that he looked hot? He looks so damn hot in his outfit and his hair was brushed backBeing asked out on a date isn't something you see everyday but then I couldn't help but worry about uncle Grey. I couldn't believe that I forgot about our planned section because my crush asked me out on a date!He must feel so lonely. I had kept that man company since I was born. He's been so single since I knew how to speak, so I guess he'd feel lonely."Are you Okay Bailey?" Miguel asked and I sighed inwardly. I wondered off thinking about uncle Grey. It's such a bad thing to do while you were on a date."I'm sorry I was just thinking about something.""I hope it isn't something to worry about?" He asked and I smiled."It isn't.""Then let's dig in. Shall we?" He asked and I nodded looking at the food in front of us."Sure we shall.""So I was wondering why you said you don't like fighting for yourself Bailey because what you meant was you liked to be bullied. Why? Is it because you're so pampered by your mom and dad?" He asked and I frowned.I thought we dropped this issue already."Miguel. I don't want to talk about it. I don't come to this dinner to be reminded about earlier today." I blurted out."I was just asking a few questions Bailey, it's not going to hurt you." he pressed on"Please can we not talk about it." I held onto the fork as I stared at the food I'm front of me."I just want you to learn to stand up for yourself. Don't let them bully you.""I'm fine Miguel please," I begged.And he nodded. The classical song playing in the room made me feel so light-headed.The environment was very calm and the restaurant was beautiful.Alpha Grey's Point Of ViewI couldn't believe Bailey stood me up for Miguel. I had told her to come home early because I wanted to make her feel better after a very horrifying day in school.I had planned a simple dinner for us alone. For her, it would be a normal dinner but for me, it was going to be our romantic dinner. We would talk and have fun like we always do. I wanted to do it to lighten her mood and then she stood me up for that guy she barely knows.I cannot wait for her to know that I'm her mate. Although Bailey has had her wolf, she's not able to recognize me as her mate. Her wolf had never spoken to her.I held myself together. I didn't want to get any angrier but I had to make sure she was fine.I made sure the men I had kept to watch over her followed her to where the boy had taken her.Although Miguel is the son of Tiffany I'm not okay with him being around her, not just him but any man. Bailey is mine and mine to protect and I will do just that.I was about to go in
Bailey's point of ViewMy jaw dropped as I walked in to see uncle Grey almost naked.I looked down at the bulge in between his legs and I got goosebumps on my body, my heart rate increased.I keep asking. How the fuck is my godfather this hot! I didn't know why I still had my eyes on him. This is such a bad thing. He's my father's best friend. I cannot look at him that way. Besides, he's way older than me."I'm sorry Uncle Grey" I rushed my words as I made to leave but he was fast to call out to me."It's Okay Bailey. Just make sure to knock before coming into someone's room." He said and I nodded.It's not like seeing people's nakedness is a big thing here in my pack. I've seen him naked a few times when he shifted back to his human form but this was on rare occasions.Barging in to see him only in a towel looking like a movie star, he had water dripping from his hair and it made him look so hot. I looked at his huge abs and I felt like running my hand down his body, I wanted to tou
Chapter 9Bailey's point of View.Getting to school I was a bit skeptical about coming down from Miguel's car. I should have just let uncle Grey take me to school. What was I even thinking they would probably start talking and calling me names like before I don't think I'm ready for that."You know what Miguel? I'd stay here a little longer and then later on I'll get to class." I blurted and he gave me a side laugh as he looked at me stylishly."You're not staying in the car, Bailey. You're coming down and we are going to class together." He chipped and I frowned.There's no way I'll follow him to the class. That would be the worst thing I'd do. I'll get more bullied."No way Miguel. I'm not doing that." I rasped and he smiled more. What a mischievous smile.Miguel climbed down in his car, turned around, and opened the door for me. He did this even when I kept screaming that I wouldn't want to go out now. Why does Miguel like to force someone to do what they don't like?"Bailey." He c
Bailey's point of view.I didn't know why but I was extremely excited to have lunch with Miguel. Maybe it was because we had dinner and it was so awesome. I was looking forward to having a lot of talks with him.We were both in the same class and all the time my eyes were glued to the teacher and the board but I wouldn't say that I didn't still glances at him.I did that. I looked at him when he wasn't looking. It was quite good. He concentrated on the board and didn't bother to look at me but I had this gut feeling that his eyes were on me.The bell for lunch rang and I smiled. I've been waiting for this but I kind of feel bad about it because I'm leaving Katie and Tyler. I'm leaving them to go have lunch with Miguel and it's kinda bad.I'm bailing out on my friends just like I did to uncle Grey. I'm doing the same thing to them.As always I waited for everyone to leave the class because I didn't want anyone to talk shit about me.When the class was cleared I headed out but then Migue
Bailey's point of view"Is she your girlfriend?" I urged for an answer as I stared at Miguel but he was shut. He couldn't say a thing. He just stared at me and at intervals, he would glare at me, Jennie."I'm sorry. I have to go." I picked up my bag and started walking away. His voice caught me up and stopped me from walking away."Jennie isn't my girlfriend Bailey. I don't know what she's talking about." He explained but then I realized that he isn't even my friend so Jennie being his girlfriend is in no way my business."That's not my business Miguel. I have to go Tyler and Katie must be looking for me." That was the only lie I could think of because even if I'm not his girlfriend, I think I was a bit hurt that he was trying to become close to me even if he had a girl.But what if Jennie is lying? She likes to lie all the time so probably she's lying.I didn't care, I just walked away, why was I feeling this way?I walked back to the cafeteria to meet Tyler and Katie but then I was f
Bailey's point of viewIt was a Saturday morning and like all Saturdays, it was my training session with uncle Grey."Shift Bailey."He ordered and I nodded. I took my hands to my joggers and began taking them off."What are you doing Bailey? "He asked as he watched me take my joggers off."Well, I'm pulling my pants because I don't want them ruined, they are my favorite pants," I said.If I shift with my clothes on I'll rip the clothes and I love these clothes too much to ruin them."You're not a baby anymore Bailey. You cannot strip in front of me."He said and I hitched a brow at him."What are you saying? There's no big deal with seeing my nakedness. Besides we are werewolves so it's alright. I think being around these humans lately has made you have a change of thought." I grinned. Uncle Grey had a tense and serious face as we spoke. As always he wasn't laughing. He was almost unclad, his pale skin was open and his abs were open too. He only had a pair of joggers on.I have always
Bailey's Point Of ViewMom and dad followed me to the garden where our picnic was set.Getting there mom and dad were filled with surprises, because I know they did expect it."What's this for Bailey?" Dad asked and I smiled."Well, mom and dad it's for being the best parents a girk could ever ask of."I smiled and pulled both of them into a hug "Aww, baby girl. We are so happy to be your parents."Mom said and dad confirmed what she said by nodding his head."We love you so much Bailey, "He said."I love you two mom and dad" I was getting teary and it was because I feel so lucky to be part of such a great family."But why do I feel like you want something from us Bailey Anderson Recce, "Mom called out my full name and I scoffed."What could I possibly want from you two? I have you two and that's enough." I made sure to smile."That's a lot of sweet words honey, are you sure you do need anything?" Dad asked.We sat on the mat. Mom helped me in setting the things "Well, It's not like I
Alpha Grey's POVI felt my mate cry.I heard her cry and I hated it.I wanted to be by her side so badly but I heard her saying that she needed time with just her and her parents and I understood her.How do I explain to her that she is not a curse but a blessing, being a legendary wolf is something people wish to be. Because she's unable to be in control of the wolf doesn't mean she's a curse, it only means that she has a lot to learn.How do I let her know that she's not mateless because I am her mate? I wanted to take her away from the throbbing pain. I know how much she was hurting because I could feel it.I have bonded with her for too long to not know when she's hurting."I am going to take your pains away, Bailey" One day I will take your pains away and you'll be surprised at how possible that would be. One day you'll find out that I'm mated to you." I looked at them from the balcony. They were having family time and I was feeling lonely.My mate doesn't know she's mine. Why wo
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
