Chapter 0249
Having spoken to Bailey, and heard her voice, I felt on top of the world. I knew she was on her way home to me. Things seemed to be good. I had spoken to Eden, and a formal place in the pack was guaranteed. Eden did not need much convincing, as Bailey was her new best friend. They got along so well, and were forever messaging from what Caleb told me.
Marc was doing everything he needed to keep them safe, and I had no doubt within my mind that they should be back anytime. Zion was pacing heavily within my mind though. I do not think he would settle until Bailey was back here, by our side, and where we could protect her. I had been to her room, a beautiful bouquet of flowers awaited her, along with a beautiful hamper of chocolate. I had a feeling I knew which she was likely to love the most… but either way, I just hoped they brought a smile to her face.
It was time for my girl to be treated properly. To have a smile on her face more often. I was ready to prove to her what she meant to me. I had been scared for too long to admit what my feelings truly meant.
Time seemed to be dragging… slower than slow, so I had decided to head to my office to get some paperwork done, when suddenly a mindlink came through. One I did not expect, and one I did not want to hear.
‘Ash?’ I knew that voice. Marc. Which had to mean they were home. My heart raced excitedly at the prospect of seeing Bailey. I could escape the paperwork, and finally see her! Spend time with her. Show her how much I had missed her…
‘Are you home? I have been waiting all fucking day! Where are you, so I can meet you?’ I blurted out, unable to hold back my excitement. I don’t care what Marc thinks anymore, after the last few days, I think it is safe to say he already knows how I feel about Bailey.
‘Ash, I am sorry… He began, and it was at that moment my heart tightened. Contorted in pain. Zion crumbled in despair. It was happening again, wasn’t it?
‘No. No.’ I quickly interrupted. ‘Do not
tell me she is dead Marc. I cannot lose another. My voice wobbled. The very thought of Bailey being gone tore me apart. I felt like I was shattering. Not seeing her again… not hearing her laugh… or seeing that beautiful smile… I felt like my heart was shattering into a million pieces. This cannot happen to me. Not again. What had I done to deserve to go through this again?! Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ƒind ηøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
‘No.’ Marc suddenly spoke, his voice more than a little abrupt. ‘But we have been attacked. She is trying to evade the rogues in the forest near the pack The car broke down and they came for us. I tried to protect the girls. Told them to stick together, but think she bolted as they came for her. I have tried to find her. I don’t know where she is. But, the way they retreated from us tells me this was not a normal rogue attack. This was planned, Ash. I think he arranged it.’
His words registered within my mind. It all made perfect sense. Of course it did. He had wanted her back. He had tried to stop her leaving his back to no avail, so he had found another way to bring her home Rogues were known to do anything for money… and now they had helped that evil bastard to attack my beautiful girl to drag her back to that psycho. To force her to be his mate. No. This cannot happen! My heart ached at the very thought, while anger raced through every pore… my vision blurred with fury.
‘Fuck no. I am on my way. I will get more warriors.’ I snapped through the link, as I charged from my office. The desperate need to get to Bailey taking over now. She needed our help, and she needs it now. And this time it wasn’t just me, this was the whole pack.
