Chapter 29 Bailey

where the offices are. Strangely, despite the time of day, there are very few people within the packhouse. Just as I am walking down the corridor, my phone rings, and I quickly take it out of my pocket. “Hello?” I answer quickly, not recognizing the number and suddenly panicking, thinking it could be something to do with Harley, despite the fact that. logically, I know anyone linked to Harley is within pack and would mindlink me if they needed to contact me “Bailey?” the voice greeted me, and I realized immediately it sounded an awful lot like Luna Eden “Yes” I replied, beginning to wonder if it was in fact the Luna calling for a response on the job role. I thought they may have have given me a little longer to think about the job offer if I am honest. “Hi chick, it is Eden. How are you doing?” she greeted me enthusiastically. “I have been better.” I admitted without even thinking. “Oh, is everything okay?” she asks, suddenly sounding curious. “Anything I can help with?” I realized my mistake instantly, and gave my head a quick shake, as I sat myself on one of the window seats. “No, sorry, ignore me, just having a bad day.” “Are you sure?” Luna Eden urges, like she is wanting me to confide in her, but I have no plan to be doing that. Especially not to someone out of our own pack. “Yeah, just a friend of mine isn’t well.” I said, hoping that would be enough to stop her asking more questions and making this conversation awkward. “Ah okay.

I may not be in your pack, but from one woman to another, I would not like to think you are struggling.” She says, sounding a little concerned now. “And I like to think we got on well when we met I smiled at her words. Yes, I suppose we did get on quite well. “Thank you, Luna, I appreciate your kind words. I loved your pack, I truly did, and I would have loved to accept your offer if I am honest, and I had hoped I could. But, things are not as simple as I hoped.” Is all the information I gave her. Though deep down I

lucky to have you. Your pack should see that. All you need is somebody to see your potential, and it is a shame nobody has before. But, please, whatever is happening there, don’t let it destroy you. Get help. Even if that is me.” Luna Eden says, and I feel my hands shaking at her words. Help? Hmm, that would be a no. Especially from another pack, though the job offer, I may keep them in mind for if I was ever able to free myself of this hellhole… “Thank you.” I whispered, but then I noticed my Dad stepping from his office, his head turning from side to side looking up and down the corridor angrily Likely looking for me. “I am sorry Luna, I will have to go.
