Chapter 19 Bailey

Well, the interview went well, despite the awkward start of nearly being plowed over by the Beta
escaping the room like he had a rocket up his a*s. I could see his friendly demeanor had improved
massively since the party. He was clearly a joy to work with. Radiating sunshine that
one.
However, Alpha Caleb and Luna Eden, who had done the interview, both seemed lovely, and Luna
Eden, bless her, looked ready to pop in thetter stages of pregnancy. Though she did seem to be
glowing with it too. I never understood how that worked when I had heard people describe pregnant
women in that way, but to see Luna Eden she generally looked to be shimmering with happiness
and health. The affectionate smiles down to her swollen belly as she stroked it told me she likely
already adored the little one growing there.
I was proud considering this was my first official interview. We had practiced ones many times.
during our studies, but they were not the same as the tutors always guided us. This

had been nerve-wracking, but the Alpha and Luna were so calming and friendly. Both so
enthusiastic about their pack, and the young children within their school. I could see that the future
of the pups meant a lot to them, as it should, and that hit even harder that I would not be able to
work for them. But, I was happy to be able to say that I had been able to answer all of their
questions in what I felt was a professional way. And they both seemed happy with all my answers
too.
It was a shame really that it was all going to go to waste. “Would you like to stay for a coffee and
some cake in the gardens with me?” Luna Eden offered, with a friendly smile as she led me from
the office. “An excuse for cake is always good.” She told me with a wink, and I couldn’t help but
laugh. How could I refuse that offer?
“I guess I could do that. And, to be fair, I have likely lost my Dad for a while anyway, he came with
me to see Alpha Isaak.” I told her, with a small shrug.
“Oh, I will set you up a bed, because once he starts talking you could be here forever!” she grins,
and again I find myself smiling at her friendly disposition.
“I am not going toin about coffee, I love coffee.” I tell her and she nods. “And like you. said,
an excuse for cake is always good.”
“See, you are perfect! Agreeing that coffee and cake are needed instead of telling me I don’t really
need them. Though I am not supposed to have as much now. Coffee I mean.” She tells me, stroking
her belly as we walk along the packhouse corridor. “Apparently not good for the little one. I followed
all the guidelines with my first, and he still came out as daft as a brush. So, I do wonder if it truly
makes a difference.”
I smile. Obviously, I have never had children, and now my fated mate has rejected me, it is highly
likely I never will. But, having trained to work with children, I do know that no matter how you try,
they were all characters in their own rights, and I thought it was truly wonderful. They had the ability
to brighten your day with the simplest of words. “I imagine he is adorable.” I said to her as we
entered the kitchen.
“Well, if you will ept the role of teacher in our pack, you would have the pleasure of teaching him
in a couple of years. I bet you will soon change your mind!” Luna Eden says with a chuckle, as she
walked to the coffee machine.

I held back the frown that was threatening upon my face. I would love to take the role here, I truly
would. The pack is beautiful. And the way they described the school and the teaching role sounded
so lovely, it would have been ideal for me. But, I know I need to seriously consider the things that
Miles has said to me. I don’t know the things he may do. He has threatened the removal of my
degree before. I am not entirely sure how he could go about it, but if anyone could do it, it would be
an Alpha. And without that, all my hard work would be gone. Everything I had dreamed of, sn*tched
away. Years of hard work and dedication, taken from me. All because Miles is holding a grudge over
a decision fate appeared to have made. Did he think it was a choice. I was happy about either?
“Are you okay Bailey? You look awfully deep in thought there.” Luna Eden’s voice interrupted my
thoughts, her beautiful blue eyes focused on me with a look of concern. “I am only joking, Matty isn’t
that bad, please don’t let what I said about him put you off the role of teacher here.”
I don’t want her thinking badly of me, so I just smiled. “Oh, not at all. Sorry, just me, daydreaming.”
“Of working here, I hope.” She says with a wink, moving toward the refrigerator to remove some
cakes. “Because me and Alpha Caleb had said we think you would be perfect for the position if you
would like toe and work for us.”
I let out a guilty chuckle. She truly seemed determined to convince me to take the job here. And I
wished I could ept, but Miles’s threat isying heavy on my mind. I know how nasty he can be. I
don’t think it is worth the risk. “It is something I will be giving some serious thought to.” I lic. Because
I know that, in truth, my decision had already been made for me the moment Miles had mindlinked
me as we left the pack. He would not allow me to work elsewhere, or for another Alpha. Especially if
that meant living off our pack. He may have rejected me, but he still considered me his. And
because there was nobody else who knew of this other than Ellis, there was nobody I could turn to
for help nor advice. Miles knew I was stuck. He knew he could do as he pleased. And he seemed to
be loving every moment.
