I frowned, a little confused. Did he really think I would avoid him? And would it actually bother him if I did? “Didn’t I eat with you after that?”He shrugged, still continuing to avoid my gaze. Hmm, definitely a little odd...“Besides, I think the Beta is avoiding me now, so what he thinks is like
Sitting at my desk sorting through yet more papers for Caleb. Who knew an Alpha had so much paperwork to do? Thankfully, the baby had arrived now, but I had done the decent thing and told Caleb to take a couple more weeks off to allow him to spend some time at home with his family. Bond with his new
I heard the Beta at the other end of the phone sighing too. “I am sorry Beta Asher, but that is not my place to decide to share that information. That would be Bailey’s place if she chooses to open up to you. But, maybe I misjudged you. It seems you aren’t that much of a bad guy after all. Even if y
Seeing Bailey crying in the distance as I walked through the packhouse tears at my heartstrings, and I found myself rushing to her as she walked into the lounge. Any awkwardness that had been between us is irrelevant now, as I pull her close to me, her tears quickly dampening my shirt. “Bailey, what
I had been called to the main meeting room, and I had no clue why. This would likely not be good. Kaia had been avoiding me since the awkward interaction with her father, and I had no idea why. So, I had done all I could to get as many therapy sessions done each day to keep myself busy. I was not us
I saw my Mum smile back. “Thank you so much, we thought he was a lost cause.” And I felt like dying of embarrassment at her words. Nothing like humiliating your own child and making me sound like a fucking monster! This is a woman I want to be with, and my mother is making me sound horrendous!“Oh,
I flung back my office door, my head still a mess from my alteration to my dreams… I was used to vivid dreams. Of course I was. My nights had been plagued with visions of losing Isla ever since she had gone. Causing me to relive the moment time and time again. Feeling the pain as the bond snapped. F
This is a conversation we have had so many times before. One of the reasons Eden and I get along so well, is she and Caleb were the ones there for me when I lost Isla, and they saw the effect it had upon me. They saw how damaged I was becoming, yet they never gave up on me.“What if I am breaking Ed
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
