BAILEYThe aching of my body hits me as I begin to wake and open my eyes. I feel as though my body has been through a lot. Like a long walk or a hard workout however that's not the case. No. My body feels sore because I had sex with a werewolf. I stretch it out and soon regret it. My muscles resist and it causes me to wince which earns laughter from Nero."What's so funny?" I turn onto my side to look over at Nero who lays gloriously naked beside me. Nero reaches over and places his hand on my bare hip. "After you first transition into your wolf, your body will become stronger. You'll me more connected with your wolf as a human." Nero then leans closer and kisses me on my shoulder. It causes tingles to spread all over me. "You'll be less tired, which means you will have more energy for other things."I laugh when Nero kisses my neck. "Oh really?" He nods, pressing his growing erection against me. His hands wondering across my nipples. I want to take things further, I really do but
BAILEY POV Today I left him.I’m driving away from the home that I have known for three years.I don’t feel sad, scared or heartbroken.I only feel relief that I’m getting away, disappointment that I didn’t do this sooner and I’m full of so much excitement that this is happening. I’m driving towards my new life and there’s a feeling of satisfaction within my stomach. I know that I’m doing the right thing. Two weeks ago, I came home to find my boyfriend of three years in bed with my best friend. Well, I say best friend, but it’s loosely applied. I’ve known her a little longer than my ex and because I’m such an introvert, I don’t really know anyone else to call a friend. So there we go, I caught my then boyfriend in bed with a girl who I think of as a friend. I opened my front door to find them naked, fucking on my brand-new sofa. I didn’t even yell, we all paused for a second as I gathered what was happening in front of me but then the two of them quickly jumped apart from one ano
BAILEYI think that I might have to stop reading fantasy novels, or maybe just lay off the werewolf romances because for the last week I have done nothing but dream of wolves and it’s killing my sleep. Even more annoying, I think they’re getting slightly worse every night. I go to bed dreading what type of sleep I’ll get. The dreams will vary. The first night I dreamt of the dark wolf that was watching me from the forest, but last night I was running with him and what’s even weirder is that I think I might have been a wolf too. We were racing side by side and it was thrilling but when I wake up, I’m left sweaty and red faced. As if I have physically been running as the wolf.This week I have been settling into my new home and exploring the area. Mostly, I’ve been sitting in my garden, wrapped in a blanket with a hot drink and a good book. I don’t think it can get much better, other than starting work, which is today.People seem to hate me when I say that I love my job and that it do
BAILEYSteph joins me in the kitchen just as I’m about to finish my dinner. It's a little room that features a small kitchen, a small round table big enough to fit four chairs around it and two sofas. It's enough for us to eat somewhere other than our offices.I’m sipping on my coffee as Steph sits down on the other sofa with a heavy sigh. “I have the headache from hell.” She swallows some pain killers with her bottled water. “How’s your first week been?”I can’t believe I’ve finished my first week working here at the clinic. “It’s been great, a lot better than my old place.”Steph smiles as she chews on her food. “I’m glad.” I pick up my rubbish and as I’m leaning over the table, my mothers necklace drops out of my uniform. “That’s pretty.” Steph admires as I took it back into my shirt.“Thank you.” I smile. “It was my mothers.”“Oh,” Steph’s smile drops. “I’m sorry.”I put my things back into my locker and sit back down on the sofa to enjoy the rest of my coffee before my next appoi
BAILEY I’ve changed my outfit so many times and I refuse to change again. I’ve settled on my long black figure-hugging dress, which shows a little cleavage and hugs my hips and bottom. Nero said that we were going out for something to eat but I don’t want to be overdressed however showing up underdressed can be worse. I hardly get a chance to dress up, so I’m keeping the black dress. Since Nero dropped by work and asked me out, I haven’t been able to relax. My nerves have had me second guessing everything. My outfit, even my make-up and hair. I look at myself in the mirror and my insecurities scream at me. My belly pops out a little and my hips look so wide. Nero is gorgeous and strong, I never thought he would look twice at someone like me. The doorbell rings and I panic for a few seconds. I grab my purse and head downstairs, taking a deep and hopefully calming breath before I open the door. I greet Nero with a smile to try and disguise my nerves. “Hi.” Nero wears an intense exp
BAILEYWe pull up in front of my home and again, Nero tells me to wait so he can open the door and help me from the car. I’ve never been treated this way before.“You want to come and have a drink?” I ask him, the alcohol during dinner giving me the confidence to ask him, otherwise I would have kept my mouth shut.Nero looks a little shocked. “Sure.” He grins, following me to the front door.I step inside first and turn to see Nero following, his strong broad shoulders very nearly hitting both sides of the doorway. Usually, my entrance hall feels a good size when I’m alone but now Nero is here the area feels so small and we almost touch.Nero follows me into the living room, and he almost hits his head on the low beams. I can’t hold in my laughter anymore. He looks at me in question and I wait for my laughter to calm. “I’m sorry, but you look so big in my house.”He looks around the place with a humorous look. “It’s like a doll house.”This makes me laugh even more and Nero watches me
NEROThis is fucking killing me!I can hear her wolf crying, trying to reach out to me and now it’s my fault she’s in so much pain. It’s because I kissed her that she’s now lying in bed in agony. Getting close is risky enough but kissing her was a step too far and I knew that! I can’t help myself with her. Bailey is my fated mate and it’s hurting me to stay away from her as much as it is for her.The tablets that Rosa gave her are some strong shit. She hands them out to pack members when we’re healing from a bad break and our wolf isn’t healing as fast as it should. It’s obvious that Bailey’s wolf is wanting to be set free and she seems to be a very strong wolf, she just needs to hold back a little and not cause her human form any harm.I need to rethink my plan on how I’m going about caring for Bailey. She needs to be told as soon as possible for her own safety. She’ll be scared and think we’re all crazy, but it has to be done.After putting Bailey to bed and quietly making my way do
NEROBefore I wake the next morning, I know that my body is sore from sleeping on Bailey’s back deck. That’s the only bad thing, at least I was enveloped in her scent and was able to be close to help soothe her during the night. I’m craving the day when I can sleep beside Bailey.Still in my wolf form, I stretch to try and work out the kinks from the night. I haven’t slept as wolf in a long while and it’s not something I particularly like anymore. I used to do it all the time as a young wolf.I reach out to check in on Bailey, she’s still asleep and seems quite peaceful. It seems me being close has settled her wolf for the time being. Now that I know she’s ok, I run home, and it feels so good on my sore limbs. I leap and jump over fallen tree trunks and it helps to stetch me out. I’m almost gutted when I reach my home.I have a different entrance to most people’s homes. It’s a little like porch but made from brick. It’s a large shelter around the front door, so in situations like this
