Bailey Bass Ethnicity

When Bailey Carter walked in on her boyfriend tangled in bed with someone else, she swore she was done with love, and with hockey players. Now, she is back in Michigan, working nights just to pay her grandmother’s hospital bills, trying to stitch her life back together one piece at a time. Then he walks in.Orion Hayes—the arrogant, infuriating captain of Michigan’s hockey team, and her ex’s biggest rival. He is cocky, ruthless and too damn gorgeous for his own good. When he saves her at a club being bullied, he offers her a deal she can’t refuse—pretend to be his girlfriend to get his family off his back, and he’ll make sure her grandmother gets the best care money can buy. But what starts as a fake relationship soon blurs into something dangerously real. Under the swagger and smirk, Orion isn’t who she thought he was.And the more he pulls her into his world, the harder it gets to remember why she should stay away. Her heart’s already been broken by one hockey player.Falling for another, especially her ex’s rival, might just be the biggest mistake of her life.

“I’ve warned you from the beginning. Don’t marry him, but you won’t listen.” Darcy stood close to me and smiled with concern. “You’re not a woman worthy of a man as handsome, rich, smart, and virile as Blaze.” My whole body trembled at her words. “Have you no shame?” I asked. “Take a good look at yourself, Heather.” She stared at me in the mirror. “You can’t even glance at your ugly face. Do you think Blaze can endure a lifetime of gazing at that scar?” Heather Bailey got a surprise from her husband: a divorce agreement. After a year of marriage and facing ups and downs, she couldn’t believe Blaze intended to divorce her. She was devastated when she saw him gazing lovingly at another woman. After signing the divorce papers, shockwaves caught her up. Her flower shop was burned to the ground. Her father’s company collapsed, and her parents blamed her. She struggled to rebuild her life from the ground up and became more successful than ever. Having many customers from influential families, she started her revenge on Blaze. She won the very thing he wanted, but that was just the beginning.

Tiga tahun sudah terlewati, dan selama itulah New memendam perasaan kecewa, bingung, marah, juga rindu. Thana kakak kandungnya yang merangkap sebagai sahabat juga orang tua berubah menjadi pemuda berhati dingin terhadapnya. Menatap sinis dirinya juga memberinya kata-kata kasar. Tidak ada lagi tatapan lembut, senyuman hangat, juga tawa ceria. Hanya ada kebekuan dan decihan tajam saat keduanya di tempat yang sama. Umur New dan Thana hanya selisih dua tahun, menyebabkan mereka sangat dekat bahkan bergabung dalam grup yang sama. Namun kedekatan mereka terputus setelah New siuman, New sempat koma selama tiga bulan. Walau mereka tidak sedekat dulu lagi, mereka masih menetap digrup. Grup mereka terdiri dari enam orang, Lion yang seorang Pianis juga ketua, Krist sebagai Drummer, Thana sebagai pemain Bass, Jump sebagai Gitaris, Phan sebagai vokal pertama, dan New sendiri sebagai Vokalis utama. Grup mereka bernama B2F2 atau BBFF kepanjangan dari Best Brotherhood, Friendship Forever. Nama grup itu tercetus oleh member termuda mereka, yaitu New. Karena mereka semua masa bodoh dengan nama grup, akhirnya mereka semua setuju menggunakan nama grup yang diusulkan oleh New. Grup mereka sudah berdiri sejak Thana memasuki tahun pertama sekolah menengah akhir. Dan karena sekolah New berdekatan dengan sekolah Thana, menyebabkan New selalu berkumpul bersama teman kakaknya. Terlebih minat juga bakat yang sama di bidang musik, menyebabkan mudahnya beradaptasi dan akrab. Hingga ditahun pertama Thana kuliah, mereka membeli sebuah rumah yang tidak jauh dari kampus dan tinggal bersama-sama.

“F*ck, you’re so tight, babe!” I put a hand over my mouth as I peeked through the gap in the door. “I like it! I like it! Harder, Dan!” Gia moaned, nearly losing her mind. “I don’t think we’ll be able to do this anymore, since you’re getting married tomorrow,” Gia said, breathless. “Even if I’m married, I’ll still pound you hard like I’m single,” Daniel replied between breaths, continuing to thrust into Gia—while Gia glanced toward where I was and smirked at me, as if to mock me. Yes—she could see me clearly. And it felt like she asked Daniel that on purpose, as if it was something they did all the time. I used to think Daniel was such a gentleman because he never asked me for that kind of thing. Turns out, he was getting it from someone else. Inside the room, I could see my fiancé, Daniel, completely naked behind his childhood friend Gia—who was also completely naked. I didn’t even realize the tears were falling until I felt them on my cheeks, still staring at their filthy act. I thought I would be the one to surprise him—but I was the one who ended up shocked. I didn’t stay to watch what happened next. I left and wiped my tears away. “Just wait,” I whispered into the air, “and you’ll see how Althea Bailey gets her revenge…”

My son is gravely ill. His inner wolf is too weak to awaken, and the healer warns that without the Alpha’s blood to strengthen his spirit, he may not last the next full moon. He clutches my hand, his feverish golden eyes dimming. “Mother, can Father take me to the Barnum & Bailey Circus？” But no matter how many times I summon my mate through the pack bond, he does not answer. His presence in the mind-link is an empty void. I can only hold my son as his small body trembles. I whisper stories of wolf warriors and great Alphas, but his breathing grows weaker. When the dawn breaks, his tiny fingers slip from mine. His wolf never wakes. A few days later, the scent of wild roses floods our pack’s sacred grounds. I turn—and there he is. My mate. My Alpha. He strides into the hall with my sister cradled in his arms. Her neck bears his fresh scent mark. His mark. I watch as he presses a lingering kiss to her lips, his hands caressing her like a treasure. Their love is bold, shameless—an unspoken declaration to the entire pack. And only then do I learn the truth. While my son lay fighting for his life, waiting for his father’s touch, longing for his Alpha’s strength… my mate was deep in Rose Valley, tangled in passion with my own blood. I thought my heart had long since gone cold from his neglect, but at that moment, it shatters. I make my decision. I will leave this pack. Yet just as I turn to walk away, the mate who had only ever treated me with indifference suddenly drops to his knees. A broken sob rips from his throat. For the first time, my proud, untouchable Alpha weeps.
