NovelOnlineChapter 0152
I had planned to try and get an earlier night, knowing we had an early pack run tomorrow, but knew chances
were my sleep would be as challenging foras ever. | had to do my nightly surveillance of the packhouse
before going to my room, or that would make sleep even less likely. Despite the fact | knew the guards had come
and checked the packhouse earlier in the evening. | paced the darkened corridors, like | would night after night.
It was only as | approached the library that Zion beca little unsettled. Though | was sure as | walked closer |
could smell the vague scent of Bailey. Surely she would not still be up this late at night? Or | should say early
hours... Maybe she had been here earlier? Could that explain the scent?
'No. She is here, scent is too strong for it to be earlier. Go and check if she is okay." Zion's voice was almost
ordering me. 'What if she has fallen again?’ he adds.
And at those words my heart was pounding in my chest. He was right. What if she had been in the library and
had slipped on the ladder again, but hit her head this time? She could be laid out on the floor bleeding... | quickly
rushed to the door, hoping | would not find her injured upon the floor. | could sense Zion's panic as well as my
own, as we entered the room, only to find Bailey sitting at one of the desks, papers strewn around her, and her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthead laid on top of the papers.
My heart softened at the sight of her. | felt my relief as well as Zion's at the sight in front of us. Goddess knows
how long she had been here like that. But, whatever she had been doing, it had obviously tired her out, and she
had crashed and fallen asleep, bless her. She looked so sweet sitting there fast asleep.
'You can't leave her there.' Zion told me, and | know he was right. She would have a crick in her neck, | know that
much.
'l know. Givescredit." | grumbled at my wolf. 'l do have a heart, you know."
'Well, it is hard to tell sometimes." He chuckled.
| rolled my eyes, walking toward Bailey, so | was standing next to her now, but as | looked down at her, | was
clueless as to what to do. My gut instinct was to lift her up and carry her to her room, but I didn't know how she
would react if she woke up to finddoing that...
| gently placed my hand upon her shoulder and softly shook her. "Bailey?" | said, lowering my head to near hers.
"Mmmm" was all | gained in response.
Zion simply chuckled. 'l think she might be asleep.’ He helpfully pointed out.
'No shit." I rolled my eyes at my wolf as | gently shook Bailey once more.
"Bailey, sweetheart, it is Asher, you have fallen asleep in the library. Con, you need to wake up."
'ls she dead?' Zion now asked, makingwish my wolf was the one that was dead. His unhelpful comments
sentcrazy!
There was still no response from
Bailey, so | decided | had no other
|
choice but to either leave her where she was, and have her wake up in serious pain, or do the decent thing and
carry her up to her room. | could see her phone and her room key on the desk, so it wasn't like couldn't let
myself into her room if she didn't wake up to put her to bed.
'Oh what a naughty boy! Sneaking into girls' rooms!" Zion sniggered This wolf of mine is more like an annoying
brother than a wolf that was meant to givestrength and support...
| went to pick up her keys and phone to put them in my pocket before | picked Bailey bp, and just as | catch her
phone, does the screen light up and my eyes are drawn to it, to see that there are messages after messages off
a number, and while | can't see all the messages, who they are from because there is no
name, | can tell from their content is nasty. Evil. And | felt my pulse begin to race. This is her former Alpha. Her
former mate. There is no denying that. My suspicions from the start were right.
