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
I was so terrified and Miguel was as pale as a candlestick. The man dragged Miguel out and hit him in the head with a baton. I screamed and I didn't even know it. Miguel put up a fight. His eyes changed color and before I knew it, he shifted into his wolf and made an attack to the man. He dodged it and soon there was a swift noise piercing the air. Miguel heard it too and turned towards the noise. Almost instantly, there was a red tipped dart on his side. He used his fangs to remove it and faced the direction of the shooter. He charged forward and soon three more shot him. I covered my mouth I'm terror; I didn't even know what to do.Miguel shook them off as well and continued to charge. Soon there were five more on his flank and he slowed down and was weak. He staggered on his four legs and soon he fell to the ground. Tranquilizer darts!I was so scared for him that I lost control of myselfI ran out of the car and towards where his unconscious body lay."Miguel! Miguel! Please wake u
. Alpha Grey's POVHer parents were in panic and so was I. Bailey had been gone for almost three days. The last time I saw her was after that passionate kiss we shared at her house when she made me breakfast to apologize. I had been a fool. I should have checked up on her. I let my guard down. I was too trusting. What if she lied to me? What if she actually did elope? I felt my fear turn to anger, just thinking about her possible betrayal. We searched the entire neighborhood and forests that were within our territory. Wolves knew better than to go beyond the boundary. It was dangerous. My anger burned out and was replaced again by fear. What if she was hurt or killed? Bailey was my supposed Luna and that made her vulnerable to attacks by rivals in a attempt to weaken me and the pack.I was back in my office and my scouts came back with reports and soon Bailey's parents came in."What's the situation report?" I was nervous and had a flurry of emotions whizzing in my head but I had to ke
Alpha Grey's POV"Bailey...!"Her voice was hoarse from so much screaming. I was so happy to hear her voice."Bailey are you alright!" I listened and soon her voice broke into a sob."Alpha Grey, please save me!"I was heart broken. I could only imagine the kind of suffering she was going through."Don't worry. I'm coming for you.""Miguel and Tiffany are involved in this as well."I was frozen in place. What did she mean by 'Tiffany and Miguel' ? And what was she even doing with Miguel after she had agreed to be my Luna?I felt the anger in me boil. I didn't know if she was lying and at this point, I didn't even care. I couldn't even believe her. Tiffany was supposed to be my replacement Luna but when Bailey was born, all that changed and Tiffany swore that she was okay with it. She had been a big asset to the pack since then. I didn't reply to her new exposition."I'll come and get you. Okay?""Please make it soon!" She broke into sobs and soon I could hear a different voice at the o
Bailey's POV"Excellent choice Grey! We'll get the time, date and location ready. And don't worry, your pup is safe with us."Alpha Zane ended the call and looked at me with a sadistic smile. I knew Alpha Grey had decided to make the trade. He had decided to give away the most important heirloom of the pack just to save me. I felt so miserable. I thought I was making things right in the pack but now everything was going completely wrong. I had created more trouble than I had thought. I sobbed sadly and was able to raise my head and look and Alpha Zane with teary eyes."Your 'mate' has agreed to save you. Aren't you a lucky little 'Luna'?""How dare you demand for the Dark Moon Sapphire?" I managed to say. My whole body ached and my mouth was bloody. "You are a cowardly Alpha."The smile on Zane's face was wiped off immediately and he gave a gesture to the guard beside me. He nodded and gave me another blow to my stomach. I coughed up more blood but the punches kept on coming. I screame
Alpha Grey's POVAs I sat in my chair, deep in thought, there was a loud knock at my door."Who is it?"The door opened with a creak and Recce came in. His face was grim and serious. I exhaled as I saw him and gestured for him to sit but he refused."Alpha, I want to know when we will send a pack out to fetch my daughter?"I looked at Beta Recce. How was I going to tell him that I was willing to keep the jewel safe at the expense of Bailey?However, it wasn't long before he caught on."Alpha? Are you considering what I think you're considering?"I looked at him with sad eyes. My mind was working fast. Was there a euphemism for 'I'm sacrificing your daughter'?"Recce..."But he was not interested in listening to me. He immediately began to flare up."How could you even consider sacrificing my daughter, your Luna? Is this how weak you have become?"I said nothing and continued to stare into the empty void. I was going to allow him to rant. Losing his daughter was a great loss to him."Af
Bailey's POVI lay on the floor; blood was pouring out of from the wound on my head. Everywhere had been black for a while. I was soon able open my eyes. I was so weak and tired. My body ached but I had no strength to groan. I wanted to die. Life was unbefitting of me. As I lay on the ground, bloodied and bruised, all I could think about was Alpha Grey. What would he think of me? I shouldn't have disobeyed him, I shouldn't have trusted Miguel. I had a big red sign in the form of his threat but I sheepishly pushed it aside and followed him anyway. I was such a fool.I prayed in the depths of my heart that Alpha Grey wouldn't save me. I wasn't worthy of it. A silent tear ran down my face. He deserved better than me.As I lay sadly on the floor in tears, the door opened loudly. I couldn't see the face. Soon my chair was raised up and I was back in a proper sitting position. My head was so badly hurt that my vision was blurry."Well, guess who is awake?"I didn't need to see to know who's
Tiffany's POVI saw the miserable look on Bailey's face and couldn't help but laugh in mockery. I pushed her again and she fell with the chair to the ground. That was were she belonged: in the dirt with the pigs.I walked out and headed to my mate's room. He was on the balcony watching the sunrise. We had two days until the exchange and we both couldn't wait to get our hands on the jewel."My Alpha," I said in a seductive voice. Zane turned and looked at me and smiled. He was as dashing as Grey and had a cunning mind that made him overpoweringly sexy. He walked to me and I took in his scent. I never thought the Moon-Goddess would give me another mate. His smell was intoxicating and it made my head all fuzzy. I knew he felt it too and he kissed me deep. After my last mate rejected me, I had almost forgotten what it felt like to kiss your mate. How intoxicating and passionate his every touch felt like, the feeling of never wanting to stop. He picked me up, still kissing me, and pinned me
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
