chapter 4

Alpha Grey's Point Of View

I 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 class and I don't want to get into detention." As she said this, I nodded staring at he bubbly eyes. Her scent filled my nose and her beauty made my heart skip. She's growing beautiful and bigger into a mature girl. Very soon she would find out that I was her mate and she might hate me for keeping such a secret from her.

She might be so angry and might want to reject me as my mate but I knew she wouldn't.

"Be careful Bailey. Even if you aren't allowed to shift, that doesn't mean that you'll let them talk to you the way they like to . Remember you are the future Beta." I pulled up her chin and she gave a little smile

"I'll try Uncle Grey." The fact that my mate called me uncle made me grow weaker. I wanted her to call me by my name but it's not going to be possible until she knew that I was her mate ..

"And that Miguel boy." I pointed at her.

"C'mon Uncle Grey Miguel is just a normal boy." As she said I smiled.

"I know Miguel more than you do and I know that he's a good boy." How wouldn't I know Miguel?

"Then it's settled uncle Grey, good bye." She lifted herself and gave me a kiss on my cheeks.

"Be a good baby girl." I kissed her on her cheeks and watched her walk out of the hall with her school bag hung on her shoulders.

She's my baby girl.

I'd known Miguel a lot more than she even knew, I would have been Miguel's step father if Bailey wasn't born.

It all started with the council of wolves telling me I had to pick a Luna since I hadn't found my fated mate. Miguel's mother Tiffany was my childhood friend and she had just gotten rejected by her mate. I figured it was the best option to have her as my replacement Luna but a few days to our wedding Bailey was born and instantly I found out she was my mate. It took a lot of guts in me to let Tiffany go, I did it because I didn't want Bailey to suffer the pain of rejection and here I was. I was waiting, for the day my Beta's daughter Bailey would find out that I was her mate.

Her eighteenth birthday was almost here and it might come sooner. Even her father, my best friend, didn't know about this.

I walked out of the hall so I could leave. I had other Alpha duties to take care of.

Since it's the first day of school, I, Alpha of Dark moon pack, was supposed to welcome the students although not all the students here were werewolves so we had to keep everything in low key. We acted more like humans because we were surrounded by humans.

Walking out I met Miguel who was leaning against the wall. The boy had grown so big and at this point I was wondering if he knew what happened between me and his mother.

If he knew, he would hate me.

"Aren't you supposed to be in class Miguel?" I asked and he slowly took himself off the wall. He straightened up and looked at me.

"I am supposed to be in class but I took an excuse because I wanted to talk to you." He said and I stopped walking then turned to him.

"What do you want to talk about Miguel?" I was the Alpha of the pack and I got this all the time, werewolves coming to talk to me whenever they had the opportunity.

It's about Bailey." The boy's voice was growing manly but that wasn't my concern about his connection with Bailey.

"What about her?" I asked.

"I heard her crying in there and I know she must hate me for bringing her into that hall that way and you must think I'm a bad boy but the truth is, I wanted her to face them and stop them from talking that way to her, that was why I did that." He said and my tensed and rigid muscles rested. He didn't have anything bad to say about her and I was glad.

"You should justify yourself to her and not me. Thank you for looking out for her." I said tapping him on his back before walking out.

The boy was a nice kid but he shouldn't hurt my mate else's he would face the consequences.

Walking out of the school building I got into my car, ignited the engine and left. I still had my eyes on her even if I wouldn't be here.

I had always protected my mate and I wouldn't give in.
