I strolled the sunshine-filled footpaths of pack, having got bored with sitting around at home, it was truly not the place I wanted to be staying for long. My job searches were not proving successful whatsoever. The school here had a fully equipped teaching staff, though I am sure Miles would ensure
My Dad literally dragged me to the Alpha office, where my Uncle was sitting at his desk, but sadly for me, Miles was sitting on the sofa at the opposite end of the room, his feet propped up on the coffee table, looking more than relaxed. Doing what he did best, absolutely nothing...“Ah, hi Bailey s
Uncle Marshall slapped the back of Miles’s head. “That does not give you free reign to act like a total bellend. You are an Alpha. Act like one. The things Bailey said are not wrong, respect is earned to some degree. Not to mention you are expected to treat your pack with respect too, Miles. Or else
The night of our former Alpha’s party was here, and the pack was in good spirits. I was wishing I could be any place but surrounded by so many cheerful pack members, but I was putting on my happy face, and being the ever gracious host.“You have done a good job bro!” Caleb called over to me, as he w
I adjust my skirt as I look out across the party wishing I could be anywhere but here. My Dad had requested us all attend with him. Represent him as a family. Goddess knows why, but that is what was asked of us. The party of a former Alpha of a pack on the edge of our region. Yet all we had done so
“Asher!” he suddenly yells, making me jump out of my skin.‘Shitting hell! What is wrong with the old man?’ Akira complained, and I have to say, she makes a valid point. That came from nowhere, and I have no clue who he was yelling at! It could be anyone that was here… one thing that he had caused w
The rest of the party had been nothing more than a drag. My brother and sister had done what they do best and chose to throw insults at me, before wandering off and leaving me alone. So, I had chosen to go and find a quiet seated area, while my parents were circulating. I could only assume my Dad kn
The drive home was proving to be an awkward one. Morgan, thankfully, had not been sick again but had done nothing but moan loudly the whole time we had been in the car, and I had to listen to my Mum talking to her like she was a little baby. Reassuring her she would be okay, because Morgan was truly
Epilogue - Asher 7 months later “Asher, I hate you!” Bailey screamed, as she laid on the hospital bed, writhing in pain. And Zion chuckled in glee at the insults my mate was throwing my way, not to mention the pain she was inflicting upon me as she gripped my hand through each contraction. He seemed to be seriously enjoying my suffering... “Is she meant to be this angry?” I muttered to one of the nurses, who looked at me with her eyebrows raised like I was some sort of monster. Okay, maybe I would just sit quietly. Now I seemed to have angered the nurse as well as my mate... Zion once more was laughing. ‘Not so good at this are you?’ he teased. ‘Oh, big shot, Beta.’ ‘You’re a Beta too, you freak.’ I snapped back, while my eyes met Bailey’s and, quite honestly, she looked like she was possessed. ‘Can childbirth turn a woman into a demon?’ Zion asked me. ‘Because right about now she looks pretty freaky, and I do not mean in a good way, like, we about to get freaky sort of a way…’
Epilogue Bailey contd… Miles would no longer be involved in, anyway, shape or form with the Lotus Shadow Pack. His actions had well and truly severed all ties to his family and his pack. And, I have to say, I felt nothing towards him, no pity or anything. He deserved everything he got.“You two better not be holding us up because you couldn't resist ripping each other’s clothes off!” Morgan called through the door, so loud it was likely half the pack heard. “Open the door before she says anything else!” I warned Asher, and he chuckled. He may not have been keen on my sister when she first arrived, but now he was spending time with her and Marc on a more regular basis, he was getting used to her somewhat unique and quirky ways, and he actually found her quite amusing now. “Come on, we are going to be late!” Marc said as Asher opened the door. “Alpha and Luna are just putting the little ones in the car.” I walked to meet them at the front door, ready to make our departure to our form
Epilogue - Bailey… 4 months later I sat on the edge of our bed, nerves rushing through every part of my body, while Asher paced the floor in front of me before he looked down at me. In the whole time since we had officially become a couple, this was the first time I had felt so worried. I did not know how he would react when I told him the news, but now he was as nervous as I was. “Are you sure you did the test right?” he asked, his voice wobbling a little. “Can you do them wrong? You pee on it and wait, right?” I attempted to joke, but I genuinely didn’t think I had done it wrong. I just hated the wait… I had not felt right for a couple of weeks now, and had put it down to a virus going around school. It had not taken me long to go back to work after leaving the hospital after all the drama of the incident with Miles. And soon Asher and I had fallen into the routine of a couple, and I loved it. It was like we had always been together. His late night working sessions were a th
“Slow down, I don’t need you near falling over again.” I teased.‘Spoilsport.’ Akira joked. ‘I was looking forward to that.’I used the en suite shower room to take a shower, and get myself dressed into the clothes that my sister had thankfully dropped off for me, before we walked from the hospital
I woke up from snoozing, and found Asher crashed out in the chair next to my bed. He still had not left my side. Despite every reassuring word the doctor could give him, he had chosen not to leave me. We had marked one another last night, so were now officially mates, and I can only say it feels bey
“Hello?” Beta Donovan’s voice answered almost immediately, despite sounding sleepy, which was unsurprising given the hour. “Beta Asher, please do not tell me you are calling me to tell me something else has happened. Last update I had Bailey was stable. Has that changed?” he demanded before Bailey w
I could see Bailey’s eyes watching me as I told her I loved her, they flashed darker for a moment, and I caught sight of her canine teeth, taking me by surprise… was Akira deciding she wanted to mark me too? Was she even well enough? Strong enough after everything?‘Maybe us marking her did make her
“No. Bailey, you are making a mistake. You know that right?” Miles said coldly, trying to get my attention. I turned to look at him, shaking my head. He had a fucking nerve. I am making a mistake?“No. You were the mistake Miles. A mistake from the moon goddess when she fated me to you. Because that
I was never going to take the words of Miles as the truth. He never did speak the truth. I knew that. I saw the hurt upon Asher's face as I said I wanted to hear what Miles had to say, but, I wanted to hear what he had to say. I wanted to see if he would apologize to me. I felt I deserved an apology
