Chapter 56 – Bailey
Iy on my bed after a quiet second day in the pack. Luna Eden was still in hospital, apparently on
bedrest now, until she had the baby, which from what Beta Asher had told me had gone down like a
lead balloon. So seeing her would likely wait until I was given the green light to visit her, or she had
the baby. Other than a brief visit to my bedroom door to notify me of that information early in the
morning, I had not seen anymore of Beta Asher either.
I had wandered around the pack on my own, seeing if I could remember where things were, and I
think I was doing okay. A
few more days of exploring and I think I will know my way around. Thankfully, as bad as my sense
of direction could be at times, I could just rely on the sense of direction of Akira, and she generally
put me on the right path.
I had spent the rest of the day sitting in my room creating name badges for all of my new ss
members with supplies I had brought with me. I was a s**ker for arts and crafts and always had
supplies lying around, especially for sses I had done at university. While visiting the school with
Beta Asher, I asked for a ss list of the children I would be teaching, which he had reluctantly
given me with a confused expression. But, it allowed me to create them all individual name badges
as a little gift for me arriving, but also that would help me learn their names too.
Plus, it had been a good way to kill time, as I was so desperate to begin my teaching role now. But I
still had a few days to wait, with Beta Asher saying I would start on Monday, likely thinking a
beginning of the week start would be best. I felt full of

excitement about whaty ahead. My new pack was beautiful. I had the job I had been training hard
for, and I could not wait to meet the children I would be teaching! And, I was finally away from Miles.
Yet, as Iy and looked up to the ceiling of my new room, I felt a little alone. I thought instantly of
Harley and wondered if he was okay. I know he had left the same night I had. I could only hope he
had reached his new pack safely like I had. Was it truly what I wanted, not to be with him? He still
seemed keen on being with me… and I missed him…
I picked up my phone…
“Hello?” his familiar and warm voice filled my ears, and immediately I smiled.
“Hey Harley.” I greeted him, so d to hear his voice, realizing then just how much I had been
missing him.
“Bailey! How are you?!” he sounded enthusiastic at the sound of my voice, and instantly I felt
uplifted.
“Well, I am in a new pack. Just like you.” I joked.
“You got your job?”
“I got my job. But, that isn’t important. How are you doing? Are you okay now? Did you get to your
new pack okay?” I bombarded him with questions.
“Woah, lots of questions!” he chuckled. “And, let me just say your new job is massively important
Bai, do not forget that! I am so happy for you. But, in answer to your questions, I am doing okay, still
a little tender here and there, but thankfully, I am

slowly healing now. Wolf is finally able to do what he is meant to do. And, yes, we got to the new
pack.”
“Aww, I am so d to hear that. I have been so worried about you.” I admitted, with a sigh. Wishing
he was here to hug right now. I won’t lie I missed him.
“Guess what, Bai?” he eximed, sounding super excited, and this made me smile. Though the
more I got to know him, the more he knew how to make me smile.
“What Harley?” I teased. I wondered if he was about to tell me he missed me or something.
“I found my mate!” he eximed, and instantly the smile upon my face was gone. “She was here all
along, in my Mum’s old pack!”
The excitement in his voice was so clear. Yet my heart felt like it had fallen through the floor right
now. But I knew I had to say something. He would be expecting an answer…
“Wow! That is amazing Harley.” I said with as much happiness. as I could force within my voice.
“Bailey, are you okay? I am sorry, maybe I shouldn’t have said anything… I was going to message
to tell you, but then I thought it was better to speak and tell you… d**n it, I messed up, didn’t 1?” he
muttered, and I can hear the excitement gone from his voice now too, making me feel terrible.
I feel so bad now. His initial reaction told me he was happy about the fact he had met her, so I did
not want that to change. This was his fated mate. Like my Dad said, he would want her. Instinct
would kick in. He would grave her. And he so evidently

had. He sounded overjoyed at finding her. Just the way it should be too. He should not feel anything
less because of me…
“Harley, it is fine. She is your fated mate. You sound so happy, what is her name?” I asked, despite
not caring one little bit, but trying desperately hard to be interested for Harley.
“Dana. She is a female warrior, Bai! They have female warriors here! She is tall, with long dark hair,
and the biggest blue eyes. She was on guard duty as we arrived and I knew then. Boy…” his voice
faltered, and it felt like my heart was crumbling at his words. But, I did my best to stayposed.
He deserved this. This was the girl picked for him by the moon goddess. The one he was meant to
be with.
“Aww, she sounds perfect, Harley.” I told him. “You will be back to full strength in no time with her by
your side. And a warrior too, she will be able to wh**p your a**”
He chuckled. “I think she probably already could, though I think I may let her…” his voice trailed off
as if he was thinking of it, and I knew then, I needed to get off the phone, I didn’t think I could listen
to much more of this. I was d he was safe. I was d he was healing. And now I knew he would
be happy too. He didn’t need me anymore.
“Aww, sorry Harl, my Dad is trying to call, I am going to have to go. I had just wanted to ring to
check if you were okay, and it sounds like you are doing amazing.”
“Oh, okay Bai. Thanks for calling. Call again soon, won’t you?” he asked.
“Sure thing.” I told him as I hung up, but I knew that we likely wouldn’t be talking too much now he
had found his mate.

Seems things had worked out the way they had for a reason. Had me and him gone to his Mum’s
pack together like he had suggested, him taking me as his chosen mate and his fated mate had
been there, things would have been beyond awkward. He would never have been able to resist her,
not when you listen to how enamored he was with her. Things would never have worked for us. He
was with the right girl now. I needed to ept that. Fate had done the right thing…
I slid off my bed. I wandered out of my room and down toward the kitchen. I needed a drink, seeing
as I couldn’t sleep. The corridors were empty now as I walked along them, but I had expected
nothing less, it was gone ten o’clock at night. My head filled with thoughts of Harley.
I had genuinely thought we could have had a future. Perhaps as chosen mate further down the line.
I should never have allowed myself to get close to him knowing there was his fated mate out there. I
was just risking getting hurt.
“Bailey?” a deep voice says from behind me, making me jump as I turned around, only to find Beta
Asher looking at me, a little confused, likely as to why he found me wandering the corridors of the
packhouse at thiste hour. Then he tilted his head slightly as his eyes drifted across my face.
