BAILEY
Steph 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 appointment arrives. “It’s ok, she died when I was young.”
Everyone here knows that I’m an orphan, but I guess people always feel and sad or sorry when they bring it up or happen to remind you that your parents died.
“It’s still sad.” Steph shrugs. “Must be special for you to have that necklace though.”
I take it out from under my work shirt and look at it again, a small smile appears as I agree with her. “It is, but I’ve always wandered what the two wolves mean.”
“You think it means something special?” She asks curiously.
“I’m not sure.” I shrug. “I’ve worn it every single day since I lost them and wondered if this was something sentimental to my mother or just a random piece of jewellery.”
“It could symbolise your parents?” Steph suggests and I nod, agreeing with her once again.
“I’ve always thought that too.” I continue to look at the necklace as it hangs around my neck. “It does look like a male and female.”
“Were wolves their favourite animal?” She smiles.
“I honestly don’t know. Apart from the fact that they created me, that my mother was a vet and that they both died in a car wreck, I know nothing about them.” Steph smiles sadly.
“Does it have anything else on it?”
“Yeah,” I nod, finding her question slightly odd. “A clear gem of some sort on each wolf.”
Steph nods thoughtfully. “Cute.”
I finish my coffee and wash up after myself. I can’t help but think that the conversation with Steph was a little forced and weird. We get along great, so I don’t know why I’m getting this strange vibe from her. It was as if Steph had to ask her about my mother’s necklace.
“Hope your headache clears.” I leave her alone in the kitchen to eat.
Walking across the reception area and towards my office someone calls my name. “Bailey!”
I turn to see Nero standing by the desk and an awkward looking Sara sat in her chair. “I didn’t know if you wanted to be disturbed during your break.”
“No, it’s ok.” I assure her but I can’t take my eyes from Nero. He looks sexy as always, wearing his dark jeans and a tight plain black top that stretches at the sleeves because the tops of his muscly arms are so thick. “Nero?”
“I needed to see you.” He grins. “You have time?”
He steps closer and begins to walk in the direction of my office. “Ten minutes.” We walk side by side and when he smirks at me, I have flash backs from my steamy dreams.
I’m no longer just dreaming of the wolf. They’ve evolved and now include Nero. I’m so embarrassed but I can’t seem to control them. They seem to get more erotic as the days go by. Every night I worry which dream I’m going to have. What’s even more strange is that Nero and the wolf seem to be blending. One minute I’m running with the wolf and the next I’m rolling on the ground naked with Nero. I wake up sweaty and horny.
The way Nero keeps casting side glances at me makes me paranoid that he knows what I’m thinking about. That he knows I’ve been having weird sexual dreams about him.
I need to relax. There’s no way he could possibly know. At least I’m safe from that humiliation.
NERO
I enjoyed the obvious look of shock when Bailey saw me. I did plan on dropping by her place and asking her our for dinner but I couldn’t wait and I’m also concerned about her.
She’s currently blushing and she looks fucking adorable. My inner wolf wants to be let loose because we know she’s been dreaming of us. He wants to rub himself against her legs and have her hands running through his fur.
I can’t wait for Bailey to truly be herself but right now I’m also liking her not knowing that it’s actually me. That we’re running together as wolves and dream fucking. I can’t wait for the real thing. I don’t know how much more teasing I can take.
It must be confusing for her though because up until now, she hasn’t experienced anything like this before and that’s because we’re closer now. Her moving to Northumberland has made her wolf go crazy and wanting to be set free.
Bailey hasn’t connected with her wolf and that’s because she has no idea who she really is. She doesn’t know that she’s fated to be my mate and that my wolf is calling out to her. He wants her, craves her and I understand why.
She’s beautiful, more than I dreamt of from afar and so fucking smart. I want to know her more. It kills me to stay away from her.
I need to stay close to her seeing as her wolf is trying to come forward by herself. It’s dangerous as Bailey has no idea what is going on inside her own body. I wanted to take my time and completely charm her, but I don’t have enough time. If something was to happen to Bailey because I kept my distance and didn’t try to help her through this, I would never forgive myself.
We step inside her office and I can’t help but smile again. Bailey looks adorable when she’s nervous. “Do you want to go and get some dinner tonight?”
Her green eyes widen. “Dinner?”
“Yeah.” I nod. “I think it’s time we get to know each other more, over food.”
While Bailey is thinking this through and possibly freaking out, I get to take in her beauty. Her red hair and freckles stand out against her pink work uniform.
“Ok.” She nods a little shakily. “Dinner.”
I step closer, tucking a lock of hair that’s escaped her ponytail behind her ear. “A date.”
Bailey looks up at me, looking submissive and sexy with her wide eyes. “Ok, a date.” A noise alerts from her laptop. “My appointment is here.”
“I’ll pick you up at seven.” I walk backwards towards the door, not wanting to turn my on her. Bailey nods, stuck in place and I send her a wink. She blushes even more and I keep the groan back.
Soon wolf. Soon.
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
BAILEYI wake from the best sleep that I’ve had in a long time. Well, since I moved here actually. I still dreamt of the wolf, but I was restless, and it was more of a calming dream. I wasn’t scared or agitated. I was relaxed and I felt safe.I am embarrassed when I think about last night though. I went on an amazing date with Nero and it could have ended amazingly but instead I made a fool of myself and had to be put to bed. What must Nero think of me?He was great though. Nero looked after me and didn’t make me feel like I was spoiling his night. He carried me to my bed and even locked the door behind him last night. When went downstairs for my morning coffee I noticed that he had posted my front door keys back through my letter box. It was sweet and made me smile when I noticed them.Whilst I was sipping my hot coffee, I couldn’t help but think it was crappy timing! We were in the moment, and I believe we were about to kiss. It would have been our first and could have led to many m
BAILEYI wake with a smile on my face because I have just had the best night’s sleep since I moved here. I stretch out on my bed and make a loud noise as I do. I still dreamt of the wolf, but it was more of a calming dream. I was relaxed during my whole dream, and I felt safe.My smiles fades a little when I think about last night though. My date with Nero was amazing, the best date I’ve ever had. That’s not to say that I’ve been on many good dates, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever had a date that I would consider good, never mind great!The greatness came to an end when we came back to mine, and I made a fool of myself. Nero had to put me to bed. What must Nero think of me?He was great though. Nero looked after me and didn’t make me feel like I was spoiling his night. It was as if caring for me was what he needed to do. Nero carried me up the stairs to my bedroom, laid me down and even locked the door behind him last night. When I came downstairs for my morning coffee, I noticed that
BAILEY I sleepily open my eyes, everything is a little blurry but I know something is off. I'm not at home. Where the hell am I? I sit up and look down at the strange bed I'm sitting on. I've been sleeping on somebody elses bed! I look around at my surroundings, my heart beating so fast as the realisation of me being kidnapped sinks in. The black sheets and whole mood of the room tells me that this is a mans bedroom. At least I'm not tied up. So whoever has taken me isn't completely bad? Right? I think over what I happened before I woke up here and all I remember is that I was with Nero. He came over with food and then we were talking on the sofa. Did he leave and then I fell asleep? If that was the case, then I would remember him leaving, but this can't be Nero's doing. He's nice. But then again, I hardly know him. I trusted that he was a good person when he could have been a secret killer all along! Okay, if Nero was a killer then surely he would have tied me up and I woul
NERO I've been worried about the day I would have to tell Bailey that she's truly a werewolf and for a minute, I thought I would have to transform right in front of her just to prove myself but eventually, she believed me. Admitting to our shared dreams is what got her to believe, I think. Seeing her share her mind with her wolf was fucking amazing, it was her first time seeing her other self and I could feel how happy her she wolf was. In order to do that, she had to be completely relaxed and let my wolf guide her and she did. Without being conscious of it, she did. Bailey let her guard down and took the first step to connecting with her wolf.Now the real fun can begin.I watch her as she sits on my bed, her eyes closed as she shares her mind with her wolf once again. Bailey has realised that this eases her headaches, and I think she's fascinated by it all. I smile to myself while I can because Bailey looks cute as hell."You're putting me off." Bailey smiles, her eyes still firmly
