Bailey ‘s POVI was devastated. How could he? How could Grey set up a date with another woman? Inside me was boiling green with envy and jealousy. I knew I had refused to be his mate but that didn't mean that I wanted him going out with someone else. I ran past his office in tears. My heart was in a whirl of emotions. Nothing made sense. I ran home as fast as I could. I was so hurt I thought I was going to break. My wolf was just as hurt as I was. I reached my door and thankfully it was locked; mum and dad weren't home. I could cry in peace. I ran up to my room and flopped on my bed. I screamed into my pillow and the tears flowed down my cheeks. I was angry enough to rip out my own hair and destroy my room. Soon the ringing of my phone interrupted my meltdown. I looked at the phone and it was Miguel. "Answer it, don't answer it, answer it, don't answer it." My mind was so confused and then it stopped ringing. I then began a fresh round of tears, then Miguel called again. I cleaned my
I looked at Grey almost horror struck. I felt something shatter inside of me. I began to feel sick and dizzy. Grey saw the confusion and fear on my face and smiled triumphantly. Finally I was able to find my voice."You're bluffing. How can you marry someone that you just met."Alpha Grey folded his hands across his chest and continued to smile."You think I'm bluffing? Bailey, an Alpha needs his Luna. She provides strength to the pack. You've been acting childish ever since I told you that I was your mate. Ryna on the other hand is strong and capable and also very attractive."I felt him stress the word 'attractive' and it honestly didn't sit well with me."You monster!" Tears rolled down my cheeks. I was crushed. I looked at him through my teary eyes but his expression was still stern. He wasn't joking."I have a duty to my pack. And I must carry out that duty. I've waited for you long enough and now I'm certain that none of this means anything to you. I'm going back inside Bailey, d
Bailey’s POVI couldn't hide my shocked expression when I saw Alpha Grey, I held Miguel's hands tighter and shifted backwards slowly. I looked at Miguel and could also see the flabbergasted look on his face, he was shocked as I am.How Alpha Grey gets to find out about our elopement is just a mystery. I never spoke to anyone about it so how did he find out? Or probably he has been monitoring me or might have even employed someone to watch every one of my moves. Gosh! This is just fucked up! "Bailey, did you tell him anything? I thought we were in this together, did you plan to make a fool out of me?" Miguel suddenly asked and looked at him with raised brows.Like seriously? I never expected him to think that I could betray him, I am also confused and dumbfounded as he is."How could you say such a thing? You know I can never do that, I don't know how he found out, believe me, I never said a word to him, I never said a word to anybody." I explained trying to vindicate myself.I swal
Bailey's pov…"Oh my goodness! Bailey, how could you think of doing that?" My mum scolded, pulling me close to her and I exhaled sharply.They all pushed me into it so they should all stop sounding like I am the bad child here. "Thanks so much Alpha for bringing her back, we are so grateful." My dad appreciated him and I scoffed loudly.I looked at Alpha and he had this proud smile on his face, what nonsense! If he had not appeared out of the blue, Miguel's plan to elope would not have proved abortive. He is just a spoiler, the way he presented himself as a good man to my parents annoys me alot."But one more thing," Alpha Grey suddenly said and the smile on his lips disappeared. I wondered what he wanted to say next, I hope he doesn't say something stupid."Bailey will be under house arrest for a week, she is not allowed to step her foot out of the pack house." He suddenly announced and I gasped pulling away from mum."Alpha Grey! You don't mean it right?" I queried expecting him t
(Mother daughter talk)"I am not your friend and you should know how to speak to people that are not your friend."I rolled my eyes and watched her give me a confused look."I was only trying to greet you. You shouldn't give a fuss about it." Her reply came.I hated seeing her around the pack house, she would be getting married to Alpha Grey, man while I am stuck here and I hate this so much. I burnt in anger, after the exchange of glares between the both of us, she moved to Alpha And circled her arm around his waistI cannot stay here and watch all of this happen to me, I had my life and I needed to be free from Alpha's clutches.Seeing them infuriated me so I walked out of the room.I got back Into my room and took one of my many books and started reading it. It's a good thing that I was done with my exams before I was put under house arrest.I was trying to read but I kept feeling bored. I needed to be around people my age. Keeping me under house arrest was not doing any good to me.
(Father-daughter Talk)Bailey's POV"I know but you should hear it now so you don't regret making the wrong decision. It is very risky to get rejected by him. You may die and aside from that, Grey loves you and is ready to do anything for you. I know you do. I know you love him too. I see the way you stare at him and all this hate and confusion is coming from the fact that he hid the truth from you. If you were in his shoes. You will do the same thing. ""Age should never be a barrier to love Bailey, make a wise decision before it is too late."As she said this I kept mute. The bell of the oven gave a ring, bringing me back to reality."The cookies are ready. You should take some down to your father in his study room."As she said this I nodded. Mom brought the cookies out from the oven and I dressed them. While I took some so I could serve my father.I kept thinking, was I doing the wrong thing?I took the tray which had the freshly baked chocolate chip cookies that my mom and I had jus
Bailey’s POVIt's been a few days since mom and dad spoke to me about accepting my relationship with Alpha Grey, I felt it was weird that they both had told me the same thing at the same time and it got me thinking.In the last few days, I have felt more bad than good and I have decided to stay on my own so I would be able to think I. It’s Alpha Grey’s wedding in a few days and I don't know how I feel about it.Whenever I see him with Ryna, I get so upset and want to hurt that lady, everything about her pisses me off. I hate her so much. She is not fit to be with him.I had my newest novel in my hand as I flipped through page’s trying to understanding it, I was tryi to catch every scene but my mind kept reflecting to what mom and dad told me .A knock came on my door but I wasn’t in the mood for visitors so I stayed quiet and didn’t did ask the person to come in, the knock a came again and this time I yelled at the person behind the door not to come in but as I said that,the door was
Bailey’s POVI felt I had it all. I had all the power to stop all that was going on, all the wrongs I had made, I could put a stop to it.Miguel may be angry about this but I felt it was the only way forward.I loved Miguel but I needed everyone around me to stop hurting because I was not only hurting Alpha Grey, I was hurting my parents and I was hurting Miguel. Soon Ryna would join and then the pack as a whole would hurt if they didn’t get a good Luna, it was my responsibility to make sure my members were happy.I paced even longer then reached for the phone on the bed with my mind racing with worry.“This is the right thing to do Bailey, you should have your pack members in mind. Think about how much you’ve made your Alpha hurt. Think about your parents; this is where your happiness lies Bailey.” I kept telling myself, it was the truth that I had let other’s people words blind me from it. I had been wallowing in self deception and the rest it all.I dialed his number after a lot of
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
