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

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.

I saw the look upon my Dad’s face at my Uncle’s words and I think it was safe to say he wasn’t happy. I had known my Dad long enough to know he hated to have his authority questioned. The thing is, my Uncle knew that, even more than me, he had been his Beta longer than I had been alive, and they had been friends even longer than that. But, I can’t say I disagree with a word my Uncle has said. I know my Dad would expect me to take the side of my family, but on this, I couldn’t. My Uncle was right. We had to look out for the safety of our pack, and with Miles in the current state he was in, he was a serious risk to the pack.My Dad needed to deal with him. The thing was, I didn’t know how was best to do that. He had almost killed a man. Yes, we are werewolves. Yes, we kill, but that is when it was deemed necessary. We generally do not go around needlessly killing. That is not how we were brought up. And, Miles was to be the next Alpha, his reputation mattered massively. There was being

Another usual night of me working late. So much additional work to do with Caleb on Daddy duties while Eden was on bed rest. Though listening to his tales of his mate being restricted to bed, she was far from an ideal patient, I definitely think I had it easier with additional work! Poor Caleb sounded knackered and ready to pull his hair out. I think it is safe to say both Caleb and Eden were ready for this little bundle of joy to arrive, and soon!Sitting at my desk in my office, I knew I would be there for a few more hours, so I had wanted a coffee, though I had run out of coffee in my office. So, a much needed wander to the kitchen had been needed. Stretch my legs too. However, one person i did not expect to see was Bailey wandering the corridors too... (well no, that is a lie, I would not expect to see anybody because nobody was in the packhouse at this hour, but that is beside the point). I had expected her to be tucked up safely in her room by now. But, her room had minimal faci

My heart would not stop racing the moment I left Bailey. The thought of Isla was fresh within my mind. It tore at my very core. All my efforts at pushing thoughts of Isla back were failing so miserably. I did not know what to do. All I had known was that I needed to get away from Bailey before she saw me fall apart. She was new to the pack… I was to be her Beta, and I was expected to be strong and composed. Her father was a Beta, she knew what was expected of a Beta and I did not need her to see any weakness in me.There would be no hope of sleep finding me tonight. No. Perhaps it was more a case of there was no way I wanted sleep to find me tonight. I knew that dreams of Isla would be too overpowering. Too painful. All from a conversation about finding your fated mate. Maybe avoiding the new girl was a better idea.I returned to my office without the coffee I needed so badly and continued with the work that I needed to do. Processing all the files that Caleb had given me to do on hi
