Chapter 48 Jordan

Saying our goodbyes to Bailey had been difficult, but leaving her there at Autumn Valley Pack hadfelt right. I knew she would be better there than she ever would be in our pack, and she seemed sopositive. about this new teaching role. This is what she had worked so hard for, for so long. Shedeserved it, and I hoped she would thrive now she had the job of her dreams. We just needed to doour part now and deal with the s**t back in our pack. Ensure Miles got everything he deserved. The drive back across to pack had been long, and we were all ready to get some food, but hadbeen determined not to stop and make the drive home as quickly as we could. There was far 100much to deal with when we got home, and the thoughts of any delays in getting there were notideal, so we had agreed it would be a direct journey. My Dad seemed full of positivity about thethings we had to do, so I could only hope his plans were possible. He immediately took to Gia,which made me happy. That is all I wanted, my family to accept my mate, and they had. I just hopedshe would like our pack and settle in there when we finally had things sorted there. We were about half an hour from pack now and Gia was snoozing lightly in the back of the car. “Youare happy now son?” My Dad asked me, as he glanced across the car toward me as I drove. “With my mate, yes. Everything else I want to sort out, Dad. There is so much unsettled.” I told him,having waited until Gia actually settled to be able to talk to him, and I think my Dad had waited forthe same. “It unnerves me. The things that have been going on and we had no clue. The things hehas been capable of, and we didn’t know,” “I understand, and I am the same. We can only do so much though. We need your Uncle to listen. Ifyour Uncle does not listen, we have the power of the werewolf council if needed. Your Uncle will notwant that. He will not want the risk of them in pack, no pack does.” My Dad tells me, but I still fearwhat the reaction of Miles is going to be when he learns of all of this happening behind his back.This is not just one thing, this is many things, by a number of people he considers close to him.Many betrayals by many people. He would be seriously angered. He and his wolf could go on arampage if not handled properly.

Not only that, he was yet to learn that Bailey had been brave enough to go against all the orders hehad thrown at her, and leave the pack without the permission of him or his Dad. However, she didhave the permission of our Dad, who was the pack Beta, and when Uncle hears the things thatMiles has done he will have to see why it was important for Bailey to leave. She was never going tobe safe here. It never made sense to me that he rejected her, yet kept her here. A small part of mewonders if he still wanted her. Or if he simply gained some sick pleasure from it all. may “What if he goes looking for Bailey, Dad?” I asked him, because I know there is a strong chance thathe do. He seemed to see her as his possession, so there was a strong chance he might go to AutumnValley demanding her return, but I hoped Bailey would speak to the Alpha and allow them to protecther. But, knowing her, she was too shy, and would not want to cause any problems for the pack andwould not say anything. Likely terrified, they would judge her for the situation that wasn’t even herfault. “I briefly explained the situation to the former Alpha. He is aware. He said it would not be discussed,but if she needs help she will had it. She will be fe there. My Dad told me, taking me by surprise. He had gone behind Bailey’s back to discuss thiswith his old friend, but I have to say, I am glad he did, if that meant my sister was safe. We haddone a terrible job so far in keeping her safe.

your sister on the phone with Miles. It would appear your friend is involved with Morgan in somewayMy Dad’s words bounced around within my mind, trying to make sense. No. That cannot be right. Why y would he be involved with my youngest sister? She had a mate out there. I knew she hadalways had a bit of a crush on Miles, but so had the majority of the younger she-wolves in the pack,so 1 thought nothing of it. I don’t think it is uncommon for she-wolves in the pack to have a bit of acrush on their Alpha, especially one as handsome as Miles. Though, I suppose, any given anopportunity would take it… but what didn’t make sense to me, was, after being fated to Bailey, whywould Miles choose to pick Morgan to date? Were they even dating? No.. just no! “Are you sure?!” I snapped, my hands tightened around the steering wheel in anger. He wasdangerous. He was not right for her. “From what Bailey overheard. I think we need to speak to Morgan.” He says with a sad smile. “Shewill think it is wonderful, as would any of the she-wolves in the pack” “Could this be in a bid to get at Bailey?” I asked. I hate that it sounds almost critical towardsMorgan, but it was the first thought that came to my mind. That Miles would use my youngest sisterto get at Bailey. Or to gain information on her to hurt her…. “Hmm, that could be true, but you know Morgan will not be willing to hear that, and Morgan does notknow of their situation. My Dad tells me, as we pulled up at the pack gates, the guard waving at usas we did, to allow us through into the pack. “You didn’t tell her yet?” I asked, unsure how this would go down. “What about Mum?” “Not properly” Dad says, running his hand through his dark hair, now dappled with the occasionalgray, I think having us as his kids was definitely taking its toll. “I wanted to get Bailey away, and thencome back and deal with the rest. I can see his logic, but my Mum would not be happy being kept in the dark. Today or the next fewdays was not going to be easy. But, this was what was needed to move forward, and put our packon the right path again, because with Miles as the planned next Alpha with the person he hadchanged into, we were on a path into the fiery pits of hell, of that I was certain. I turned onto our road, driving closer to our house, and as I did, I saw a familiar figure sitting on our

porch steps. I looked across to my Dad, instantly knowing this was not going to go as we hadplanned at
