***AUTHOR'S NOTE***
Dear readers, as English is not my first language, there might be grammatical errors but that shouldn't stop you from reading as this book has an interesting storyline and you would enjoy it. Also please correct me in any way you can, thank you!Bailey Recee"Bailey!" The voice of my Alpha called my mind back and I rushed down the stairs with my bag strapped on my back as I arranged my hair properly. I climbed down and noticed my mother was already down the stairs."Hey Mom, hey uncle Grey." I looked at them and my mom raised her brows angrily at me."Bailey, would you ever learn to go to school early?" She asked and I nodded"Tomorrow mom, I promise to go to school early.""You say that all the time." Uncle Grey who happened to be the Alpha of my pack and my dad's best friend said and I laughed."First day in 12th grade, behave yourself." Mom said."I will Mom," as I said this she hugged me and kissed my cheeks, I looked at her as tears welled up at the corner of her eyes, her brown curly hair fell on her shoulders, she slowly wiped the tears falling on her pretty oval face. Small lips just like mine and a beautiful smile. She's so happy to see me come this far."And remember, no shifting in school or open areas." said Uncle Grey's thick voice and I groaned, here we went again.I looked at him from head to toe before gulping hard, drop dead hot. He looked at me with his black hair falling at the side of his forehead, it looked so shiny. I felt like dipping my hand in his hair so I could feel the very softness of the hair, his strong muscular face looked tense as always. Did my Alpha know he's hot!?"Be back home early, your dad is returning today." as my mom said this, my lips tore into a bigger smile, it's been weeks since I last saw him."I'll take you to school.""I can go to school by myself , Uncle Grey, there's no need to go through the stress.""Get in the car Bailey, I have work to do at your school so I'll take you since I'm heading there.""Oh okay." I mouthed and began to walk out the pack house.My father is the Beta of Dark moon pack and this huge man with so much muscles and a very handsome face is my Alpha. He's basically my godfather because he's my father's best friend, he is all grown up with no wife,or child and I wonder why? He is so hot, I have watched my human friends drool over him. I most of the time want to go over and slap them while telling them he is forty years old."Your 18th birthday is coming soon, how do you wish to spend it?" Uncle Grey asked as he drove down to my school."You know since it's my 18th birthday, I guess I'll be able to find my mate, so I'll just stay in his arms all day." I said and he snorted like always."Why do I feel like you're one of the people praying I don't find my mate?" I said, looking at his face, the reflection of the sun flashes in his grey colored eyes making him look so magnificent.Damn! Why is my Alpha this hot and still unmarried?"Did I ever say that?" He shrugs as he keeps staring at the road."You didn't but your eyes did!" I retorted.We finally arrived at school and I climbed down the car. Uncle Grey had some kind of work to do with the principal so we walked in together.As we walked in, I saw girls looking at him with lusty eyes and I could hear some of them say some irritating words.Can girls just keep their eyes off someone's man? Not like he has a woman presently but still, can they just stop gawking at him?"Uncle Grey, I'll just wait for Tyler and Katie here." I said to him as I pointed at my friend's meeting area."Okay that's cool, be a good girl and if anyone bullies you, just let me know." He said."I will be fine, uncle. There's no need to bother yourself" He looked at me for a while before tapping me on my shoulder.Most girls looking at us are werewolves from my pack and I'm sure they know he's our Alpha.You'd think I was a normal teen wolf but the truth was, I was in no way normal. I had a very beautiful childhood with both my parents around and that's so cool. However, when I turned 5 I shifted for the first time, my wolf didn't become the normal pup wolf you'd see. I looked extremely large, white fur, beautiful texture of fur, cute, strong, my wolf had the weirdest set of eyes, green and blue eyes and I didn't know why until it was said that I am a legendary wolf.I decided to take my books from my locker as I waited for my friends Tyler and Katie to arrive.Opening my locker with my code the first thing I saw was the mirror I hung in there. My black eyes looked a lot happier today. I had my curly brown hair laid on my shoulders, I'd done a little make up before I left the house. I tried to hang the longest smile on my face as I told myself that I could overcome everything today."You are beautiful Bailey Anderson Reece and you can do This." I spoke those reassuring words to myself.I had cried all through summer and I wouldn't let what happened in my 11th grade happen again."Hey mate less." I heard the most irritating voice call out. I knew the voice was calling out to me but I acted like I didn't hear the person's voice beside that is not my name."Hey freak." This time the person calling me banged my locker making it almost close with my hands in it. I cringed and looked at the person calling me."Hey human, you still haven't gotten your wolf? You still haven't shifted '' It was Jennie, her blonde hair was straight and was almost at her waist, a lot of makeup was on her face, I guess it's what makes her look pretty."Leave me alone Jennie" I opened my locker, took out my last book then put it in my bag."How can you be so unfortunate, you have no mate and you have no wolf. I am beginning to doubt if you are really the Beta's daughter, for all we know they just might have bought you." As she said this I felt tears form at the side of my eyes.Why was I so emotional, why did I cry for no reason, I doubted if I was my father's child.I bent my head and wanted to walk away because it's the first day of school and I wasn't ready to face any of what she wanted to give."I'm not done talking to you so don't move." She yelled banging the blue locker, I flinched at the noise and then looked up at her.Why did I have to come to the locker room, now everyone has their eyes fixed on me."Leave me alone Jennie" I said and I could feel tears already forming, my voice had changed a bit cause I was about to cry.I hated it so much when I felt any bit of inconvenience, I wasn't used to any of it, I only started facing invincibility when I moved to high school. I've basically been a baby all my life."If I don't let you be, what are you going to do? You'll beat me until I turn blue?" She asked. It would be very possible I could kill her right now but Alpha had asked me not to shift or fight because right then I was so harmful. I could kill!I might be unable to control my anger then I would do something stupid."I'm done with you." I checked if my locker was closed and I wanted to race out because of the eyes all over. As I moved Jennie pulled me back with my hair and I groaned out in pain. I held my neck so her grip on my hair wouldn't sting so much."Not so fast dork!" she slammed my body on her locker."Let me go!" I screamed and she laughed hitting me again, my muscles tensed a little as I was trying to control my wolf."Let me go Jennie otherwise...""Wise what?" She retorted and pulled my hair even more. All eyes were on us making me feel uncomfortable. I wanted to grab her by her neck and make her faint but I still held back, I refrained myself."Let her go Jennie now!" It was Alpha Grey's voice.Bailey's Point Of View"Let her go Jennie, now!" Jennie looked and saw that it was Alpha so she instantly let go of me and I took a step away from her. I saw everyone staring at me.Eyes were all over me, they were all laughing at me, I hadn't done anything to Jennie, I was just getting myself ready when she dragged herself here, now she had caused a nuisance here and it was the last thing I wanted.It wasn't a complete school day and I had been bullied, starting this semester with a very rough day.Why did Uncle Grey have to intervene, now people would think I was a baby. Yes I loved being babied by mom, dad and uncle Grey, but not outside, people would think I couldn't fight for myself."Are you okay Bailey?" Uncle Grey asked me and I nodded then began to walk out of the hall.I looked ahead and saw a head full of beautiful black hair, almond blue eyes, sharp jaw line with a cute look. It was Miguel. My crush Miguel had witnessed the fight?Miguel looked at me like he had never done
Chapter 3Bailey's Point Of ViewMiguel held my hand tight as we walked into the hall, I was so tense and wanted to just hide. I saw the look Uncle Grey gave me and I sighed.I had wanted to join Kathie and Tyler at their spot but Miguel didn't let go of my hand, he made me stay beside him and he didn't leave my hand.As uncle Grey gave the speech his eyes were all over me, watching me and I'm sure he was making sure I was fine. I wanted to get out of here, too many eyes were on me already and it was making me uncomfortable, they were talking so loudly about me and I could hear it.They were all calling me names. Names that would never fit my personality.Yes I have a crush on Miguel but I would never be a slut. Why were they making their thoughts audible for me to hear and why was I freaking listening to them? I hated it so much.The assembly was over after a few announcements and everyone started heading out of the assembly room.Kathy and Tyler wasted no time, they walked to where I
Alpha Grey's Point Of ViewI held her tight as she sobbed, dipping my hand in her hair. I rubbed her skull, her scent filled my nose. I hated to see her cry and I hated to be the reason she was crying, every tear from her touched me and made me worried.But I made her cry today.I did not intend to make her cry, I did not, I just let jealousy get to me.She's my mate and I was supposed to be worried about her, it's my right to be worried.It might come as a surprise but Bailey was my mate and it's my responsibility to take care of her. The day she was born I found out she was my mate.I've been there all her life, since the day she was born, I'd watch over her. I'd make life easy for her and I'd always make sure she wasn't a bit stressed.It's a bit funny that I was 22 years older than her but I didn't mind it anymore as I have grown to love her.Taking her head off my chest I looked into her hazel eyes, her pink plump lips stared at me."Uncle Grey I have to go now, I have chemistry c
Bailey's Point of ViewAfter I bid uncle Grey bye, I walked back to my class and tried to think of what he had said. I wouldn't let anyone or anything they would say get to me. Heading to the classroom, the chemistry teacher Mr. Dave was there already. For sure he's going to be mad at me because I was late. "Bailey. You're never late to class. Why are you late today?" He asked and I swallowed down. "I'm sorry Mr. Dave. I was having an urgent conversation with the Alpha." I explained. I hated using Uncle's name to get out of trouble but I just had to do it because he was the reason why I was late for the class. I could see the eyes on me and I hated it. Why were they fixed on me? He rolled his eyes and permitted me to walk in with the rolling of his hands. I did so and walked to the back of the class to get a seat since all the front seats were already taken. Taking a seat, I took my books out and turned to my left to see Miguel staring at me. How did I not see him as I walked i
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 t
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 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
