Chapter 39 Bailey

The drive so far had been long, my Dad had been quiet now the time for me to leave had arrived. I didn’t know if he was beginning to second-guess his decision, but irrelevant of that, I was not changing my mind, nor was I going back on the plan we had made. Morgan was still unaware of the plan we had made. After overhearing the snippet of her conversation with Miles, I had decided saying goodbye was not the best thing to do. She could mention my departure to the one person we did not want to know about my exit from our pack, and the whole plan would be destroyed. My mind was still reeling from the fact that my younger sister was involved with someone like Miles, in whatever way it may be. I did not stick around to listen any further to hear just how serious it had been between them. But, hearing what I had, told me all I needed to know. Morgan had always had a soft spot for our upcoming Alpha, as had so many of the young she-wolves within the pack. Seeing him as somewhat of a heartthrob. A hero. A role he relished and played up to. I, however, knew him for what he truly was I was torn whether or not I told my father of this new development. As much as Morgan and I may have clashed over the years, as sisters so often do, she was still my sister, and Miles was dangerous. He could do her some serious harm if he got his claws into her. She was young and she was naive. Probably seeing the potential of a relationship with him through rose-tinted glasses. Hoping to be his Luna. Loved and worshiped by the man in the pack that all the she-wolves wanted… the thing is, so many of them knew he was not capable of loyalty. In recent years, he was a well-known womanizer. A lothario. He had the potential to break my sister’s heart. And I could never forgive him if he did that to her. Destroying her innocence and happiness all for his own gain. I looked briefly across to my Dad, his face frowning as he sat alongside me as I drove. He had decided to come with me to my new pack, planning on getting my brother to collect him tomorrow. Though, by the time we had arrived there, it would be the early hours anyway. He truly looked deep in thought, like his mind was full of too many things… so many worries. I felt bad for him, because I

again, my Dad once again referring to me as his little girl. I swear he would never consider us grown up… but I do appreciate that he was taking it upon himself to ensure everything was okay, and to ensure I was taken care of now, I just wish they had done a slightly better job of this over the last few years…. “Well, I appreciate that, thank you. Though, I am going to have to

chastises me. “I know you and her don’t always get on, but she is still your sister. You should have said goodbye!” 1 smile sadly, knowing he is right, but I know I still did the right

dating?” he almost roared from by my side. “That I don’t know, as I didn’t stick around long enough to find out. But they sounded pretty close. So, I didn’t want to say goodbye just in case she accidently mentioned to him that we were leaving, and he blocked it happening. You know if he knew we planned to leave the pack without their permission. Dad, he would have done everything within his power to stop it happening.” I explained my reasoning. “Why would you not tell me about this?!” he demanded, and I could tell he was furious. “Because I feared if you knew while we were at home you would go in there all guns blazing Dad. Delay us leaving. Potentially let it slip I was leaving and again Morgan could have mentioned it to Miles. We could not risk him discovering our plan, you know that!” I told him, but from the dark scowl forming upon his face he was not best pleased with my decision.
