Oh goddess, the happy one’s face at the things his Uncle and former Alpha had suggested looked like he had suggested he allowed me to go and shit on his bed or something. Beta Asher was not exactly doing much to hide his displeasure at the suggestion. Though I am quickly learning this man does not have many friendly facial expressions anyway, but the one currently upon his face looked like he wanted to go and attack his Uncle. Who, incidentally, had wandered out of the room happily humming to himself like he was extremely pleased with himself. Something told me he enjoyed irritating the Beta…Not that it did me any favors, as it now left me alone with the big bundle of happiness, unsure what to do or what to say, and now the room was in a very awkward silence. In all honesty, I didn’t particularly want to be spending that much time with the Beta, so the things the former Alpha had suggested sounded horrendous, but I remained with a neutral expression upon my face to be polite. Eviden
Saying our goodbyes to Bailey had been difficult, but leaving her there at Autumn Valley Pack had felt right. I knew she would be better there than she ever would be in our pack, and she seemed so positive about this new teaching role. This is what she had worked so hard for, for so long. She deserved it, and I hoped she would thrive now she had the job of her dreams. We just needed to do our part now and deal with the shit back in our pack. Ensure Miles got everything he deserved.The drive back across to pack had been long, and we were all ready to get some food, but had been determined not to stop and make the drive home as quickly as we could. There was far too much to deal with when we got home, and the thoughts of any delays in getting there were not ideal, so we had agreed it would be a direct journey. My Dad seemed full of positivity about the things we had to do, so I could only hope his plans were possible. He immediately took to Gia, which made me happy. That is all I want
I had managed to evade my father for most of the day. Hunting down the warrior who pissed me off has not gone my way, so I have a few people asking around for him. The hospital staff said he was discharged, which implies to me, he recovered awfully quickly, so evidently I didn’t do enough damage after all. So, I think I may need to find him again.Someone to take my anger out on, because quite frankly that is what is rippling through my body the majority of the time right now. Seeing Ellis in this sickly loved-up state with his new mate is beyond sickening. Yes, his new mate is hot. A former cheerleader. Fucking whoopee doo for Ellis. Once again, I don’t get how that worked, he got this curvy, vivacious little lady, who cannot do enough for him, giggling sweetly at everything he says, and I got fucking Bailey West with her out of control mane of curls and her over the top brain power and intelligence.Ellis had been different in recent days since he caught me attacking the warrior. I
Well, I had my detailed tour of the new school I would be working at, and who knew a tour could be quite so detailed… it seems Beta Asher is a sucker for the finer details… maybe a little OCD lingering under that mean and moody exterior… but, still, I now knew every inch of the school, in great detail, and I loved it! Now the two of us were walking through the packlands, while the happy one did his best at showing me around.Bless him, it was so obvious to me that he was not comfortable in the company of others, or maybe it was just in the company of me… but he looked so uneasy I felt bad for him.“Do you want me to go back to my room?” I asked, looking up at him with a polite smile.“What? Why would I want to go to your room?” he almost choked on hs words, and I had to try to stop myself laughing at him. Is that what he actually thought I was suggesting?‘What in all holy hell does he think we are proposing?’ Akira almost squealed within my mind, sounding truly horrified, and to be h
This girl in front of me looks on edge, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Well, in truth, being around her in general has made me feel uncomfortable. I do not like being around people I do not know… no, scratch that, I do not particularly like being around any people anymore. But, I was doing my best at the induction, and she seemed to be enjoying herself.The way her face lit up at the different things I showed her within the school made me want to show her more, so I found more things to show her, so the tour of the school took longer than it probably needed to, but she would now know where everything was.But, this conversation has since made me uneasy. She had implied things that didn’t sit right with me. Was she here because she wasn’t welcome in her own pack? She had been the Beta’s daughter for fuck’s sake… they were stereotypically popular… and it wasn’t like she wasn’t beautiful, she was stunning… she was clearly a character too. I could see that with the cheeky interaction
I pulled up the car onto the driveway of the family house, despite the fact Gia and I now had a home of our own allocated within pack, but I did not intend to leave my Dad here alone to deal with Miles. Especially not with that look upon his face. He looked set for a fucking rampage.‘How much do you think he knows?’ My Dad mindlinked as I switched the engine off.‘Not a clue, but don’t give anything away. Especially not our plan.’ I told him. ‘We need to speak with Uncle Marshall. Admit we allowed Bailey to go for a new job, but say that was because you did not want her degree to go to waste, and we have agreed she returns the moment we have a vacancy for her, right?’‘Good thinking.’ Dad agreed, as he opened his car door, like he did not care that Miles looked ready to kill someone.“Right baby, go straight into the house, my Mum should be in, or maybe Morgan. Once we have spoken to Miles we will head to our home, okay?” I said softly to Gia, and she smiled that gorgeous smile of he
We walked through the forest in what I could only call a comfortable silence, which was unexpected. Bailey was happily looking around, enjoying the scenery, while I was fighting hard not to ask questions and also fighting Zion, who was pushing hard to push through and shift. He was desperate to come out and go for a run. But, I knew we were here for Bailey right now, and I didn’t think my wolf out on one of his rampages was what she needed to see…“Thanks for not asking too much.” Bailey suddenly said as we approached the treeline, heading back toward the pack. “When I didn’t want to talk.”“It is fine.” I said with a small smile. “I realized that somethings are difficult to talk about. I know that better than anyone.”“Yeah?” she looked at me curiously. I could tell from the expression on her face she wanted to know more. Well, she would be disappointed. I did not share my thoughts nor my worries with anyone. The things within my mind were mine. Nobody else needed plaguing with them.
My first night in our new home with Gia was truly amazing. If this was going to be life with a mate, then I could most certainly get used to it. Waking up next to her in her pack for those first days had been incredible, but here in a house that I knew would be our forever home, well, it was on another level. Seeing her as I opened my eyes, brought a contentment to me and my wolf I could not describe. This was what I had needed, yet I had just not realized it.I snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me, loving the contact of her skin against mine. “Again?” she giggled.“Can I help it if I find my mate irresistible?” I purred into her ear, causing her to giggle once more, making me smile.‘Jordan need you in my office asap.’ My Dad suddenly mindlinked, and my heart dropped. Wow. Nothing like cock-blocking your own son was there?!‘Are you sure I am needed?’ I tried, desperately hoping he would get the message and would realize I wanted some time with my mate.‘You have a
