Chapter 53 – Asher
We walked through the forest in what I could only call afortable 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 toe 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 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 guing with them. They were beyond
messed up most of the time…
“Yeah, and you don’t need to be asking” I said to her with a sharp look, causing her tough.
“Kinda figured.” She shrugged. “You don’te across as the talking type.
I held back the smirk ying on my lips while Zion was

chuckling to himself. ‘She got you sussed pretty fast.”
“We have been around most of the pack, I believe. Was there anything else specifically you needed
to know?” I quickly tried to change the subject. Not wanting to get into talking about me and myck
of willingness to talk. I got enough h**le about that from Eden.
I saw her trying not to smile now, her eyes lit up when this happened, which seemed to be fairly
frequently. I looked at her. “Something funny there, Miss West?”
“Back to Miss West now am I?” she asked, and I simply shrugged, while she continued. “My wolf isTêxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
being her usual snarky self, so nothing for you to worry about.”
Ah, so it seemed I was not the only one who had to worry about their wolf giving them a hard time,
though she was smiling, which made me wonder what her wolf had said to make her smile.
Whatever it was she had clearly found amusing. It seemed her and her wolf had a decent bond…
‘And we don’t?’ Zion grumbled, sounding almost hurt by the implication that we were not close.
‘Depends on what type of mood you are in.’ I responded, as I stepped back onto the paths of the
pack now. Knowing time was moving along rapidly, and I should be returning to my office soon to
get on with my work.
“So, Bailey.” I said, putting emphasis on her name, which made her smile. “Were there any other
questions?”
“When can I start work?”

I chuckled. “Nothing like being eager.”
“I have been desperate to find a job since I finished my degree, but I haven’t been allowed to get
one out of the pack, and there were no vacancies within my own pack.” She said
absentmindedly as if in exnation, as she wandered along, but once again my mind was drawn to
her words. She was not allowed to look for work outside of her own pack. So, has she been made
to stay in her own pack then?
That made little sense to me. If one of our pack members had gained a degree, but we had no
vacancies within our pack for them, we would permit them to work elsewhere, or what would the
point of them having their degree be? Something about her pack and how they treated her bothered
me. Even more so, after her rant at me… no… I cannot pry. It is not my ce. She has nothing to
do with me. This is her business.
“Something changed then?” I smiled.
“Huh?” she looked at me confused.
“You said you were not allowed to look for work away from the pack, yet here you are, working away
from the pack. So, I guess something changed to allow you to look for work?” I asked, but instantly
cursed myself internally for being nosy. I swore I wouldn’t do this. But it just seemed to happen. A
curiosity to .know more…
Bailey raised her brows at me. “So much for realizing some things are difficult to talk about.” She
said to me with a smile, and I found myself looking down at my feet, looking guilty.
“Sorry.”

“I am joking, Beta.” She giggled, and it took me by surprise. It was the sweetest sound… “All that
changed was I didn’t have to apply as such, my Dad was friends with your former Alpha. So, the
saying it’s not what you know it’s who you know, kind of worked in this instant.”
“So it all could be arranged without any official contact.” I said as I realized, and she simply nodded
as we approached the doors of the packhouse.
“Was there any news about Luna Eden?” she asked me, and I figured that this was her attempt to
change the subject, telling me not to pry any further, despite the fact I was desperate to know more.
“Not yet, but I n to call in to see herter. She will want to know how this has gone. She will eat
me alive if I haven’t done a good job.” I joked.
And I saw Bailey’s face light up as she smiled. “I will be sure to give you a good report, Beta.”
“Why, thank you, Miss West.”
“Keep calling me that, and I may change my mind.” she smirked, and I found myselfughing as I
held the door open for her.
“Back to where we started.” I said to her. “You think you can remember your way back to your
room?” I asked her. “Because I do have things I need to do before the end of the day.”
“Sorry for holding you up.” She looked to me with an ufortable smile.
“That was not a criticism of you, nor aint of having to do
the induction, Bailey.” I told her. “It was not as bad as I expected.” And oddly, I wasn’t lying when I
told her that. I actually found herpany bearable…
