| dashed away as | heard the door closing loudly. | know I have hurt his feelings. Just as he seemed to be opening
up totoo. But I couldn't stay, not after he had heard all of that. What would he think ofnow? He was such
a strong man, | did not want him to think | was weak. Hearing Miles talk toin that way would change the way
he thought ofwithout a doubt, and | was terrified it could put my position here at risk.
| rushed to my room and closed my bedroom door behind me. My heart felt like it was pounding within my chest.
| could feel Akira’s presence, and she felt on edge. Whimpering, and broken. Much the sas me. She had
been allowing herself to get closer to that man, | was sure of it. She had felt for him when he was struggling and
that was unusual for her.
Why did Miles feel the need to call me? He was meant to be secure and in treatment was he not? So why was he
able to reach out to me? None of it made sense. Though | suppose the reason why was easy to answer. He
wanted to torture me. That was always his reason for his nastiness toward me. Always his reasoning for his
vileness. | had naively hoped that the treatment would make schanges in him, turn him back to the boy he
used to be. But, | think Jordan is right. He craves the power being the Alpha brings, and the fear it instills in
people. And that makes him dangerous.
What | don’t understand is why he had to makesuffer. | was willing to walk away. Allow him the life of power
and freedom he desired. But he seemed to wantthere. Not as his mate as fate had planned, but more as a
toy to torture...

| stripped my clothes off, and walked into the shower, needing to scrub myself clean. Hating everything about
was born into. | quickly washed my body and my hair, before rinsing myself off, trying hard not to allow my mind
to wander. | did not need to let myself think of hand the mess that would awaitif | was forced to return. |
quickly turned the shower off, stepping out and grabbing a towel as I did.
| put on my pajamas and walked back to my bed, to hear my phone ringing once more. My heart began to
pound, fearful of the thought it could be Miles again, so | tentatively walked to my phone only to see it was Luna
Eden.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hello?” | almost whispered, my voice a little hoarse.
“Hey Bailey. | can’t sleep, so | thought | would get the down low on how my little host has done today.” She said,
her voice full of enthusiasm, and | couldn't help but smile. She was checking in on Asher. That was a little crafty.
The thing was if she wantedto drop him in it, | don’t think | could. He turned out to be a lot sweeter than |
had ever expected him to be.
“Did you not think | might be sleeping?” | suggested.
“You answered, so probably not.” She said with a chuckle, which | suppose was logical. “So, did my Beta behave
today, or do | need to give him a lesson in how to interact with other people?”
Tlay myself on my bed, as | smiled at her words. He likely could do with a lesson in that, as it definitely did not
seem like it was his specialty. “He did okay. Considering you forced him to cand check on me.” | joked.

“He told you that?” she said with a giggle. | could see her character being quite likable, endearing even as a
friend. | could see why Asher thought so highly of her. “Well, that is a big cross by his name!”
“In all seriousness, he has tried hard to makefeel welcome. As have the staff at school. | enjoyed my day.
Thanks for wanting to check in on me.” | told her with a smile. She was certainly going to a lot of effort to make
sure | fitted in within her pack. For that, | would always be grateful. It meant | had a haven to escape to after
everything with Miles...
“Aww no worries, though I am not too fussed with the ladies at school, | had no doubt they would welcyou
with open arms. Just cranky pants | had my doubts over.”
“Honestly, Luna Eden, he did fine. He checked onbefore | started, and when | finished work. | mean, it is
pretty clear he does not like having to talk to people he doesn’t know, but | don’ t take that personally.”
The Luna began to laugh at the other end of the phone. “Well, you are not wrong. But he is not too bad of a guy,
really. There is a sweetness under all that darkness and moodiness. You just got to rummage around a little.” she
giggled.
| shook my head. Anyone would think she was trying to sell him to me. “I will bear that in mind.” | said quickly,
feeling a little uncomfortable, considering | had already seen that he could be more than a little sweet just
moments earlier. “Anyway, how are you doing?” | asked, hoping to change the subject.
“I want this pup out how. He must be the size of a full-sized werewolf now! Sure feels like it. His feet sure feel
like it when he kicks me!” she said with such emphasis in her voice couldn't

help but snigger.
“Aww, you are uncomfortable then? Do you know it is a boy?” | suddenly realized she had said him multiple
times.
“No. Just assuming with the way it is kicking the shit out of my insides. A little soccer star in the making.” She
joked.
“You could have a little female soccer star.” | pointed out.
“Very true, either way, they are getting their eviction notice. pretty soon. | have cooked them long enough.
Besides, they can’ t be comfy anymore.”
“Do you ever think they are comfy in there?” | questioned, wondering about the pictures you see of a baby in the
womb and how squished they always looked to me, and | heard Luna Eden sigh.
“Who knows, but | know | am not comfy. My belly is stretched as stretched can be. Docs have said if labor
doesn’t start naturally in the next day or so, they will induce it. So mini Caleb will be here soon.” She told me,
her voice now sounding exhausted. | think it is safe to say she is finding it all a bit much.
“Aww. It may be a mini Eden. You sound fed up though, Luna, are you okay?” | asked, worried about her.
“I love the thought of a new baby, and to sdegree | enjoyed my pregnancy, just the end bit terrifies me. |
get uncomfortable, and then actually giving birth, scares the shit out of me. Knowing that is imminent petrifies
me.” She said, and the enthusiastic voice was now gone, replaced by a shaky and vulnerable sounding voice.
Seems even a strong and powerful Luna has her own fears and weaknesses.

“I think | understand that. You will be in the best of care though. And you will have a gorgeous little one at the
end of it all. The pain is temporary, but that gorgeous pup you will have at the end of it will be yours forever.
Someone to love and adore, and make you proud.” | told her and | heard her sob.
“Aww, thanks.” she sniffled. “I think you can stay. Your pack isn’t allowed you back. You will be my new friend.”
She said, and | found myself smiling. | wish it was that simple...
