| could see Bailey's eyes watchingas | told her | loved her, they flashed darker for a moment, and | caught
sight of her canine teeth, takingby surprise... was Akira deciding she wanted to marktoo? Was she even
well enough? Strong enough after everything?
‘Maybe us marking her did make her stronger?’ Zion suggested. | guess that could be true. The nurse said she
couldn't say for sure if it would, but here she was ready to markdespite the fact her wolf had to have been
weak trying to heal her.
"I love you too, Asher." Bailey whispered, and those were now the most wonderful words | had heard. Words |
hadn't even realized | had been desperate to hear.

matebond complete. She was the one meant to cinto my life and fix me, | am sure of that. Her arriving in
our pack had not been a coincidence. Fate had intervened in a different way... No, | had not been blessed with
her as a fated mate, but second-chance mates were rare; yet the connection | felt to Bailey was something else.
Like a soulmate. She broughtpeace. Contentment. She madewhole again. In a way | never thought could
be possible after losing Isla. And as | felt her teeth sink into my neck, that shudder of pleasure rippled through
my body, bringing tears to my eyes as | felt the completed matebond snap into place. She was mine. Bailey was

"I think | may have sidea, especially when | feel just as happy." She teased, reaching up to gently stroke
where she had just marked me. "I can't believe | have a mate!" she exclaimed excitedly.
"| just wish we hadn't waited so long!" | told her, and she smirked.
"Oh, is that so?" she proddedplayfully, a teasing smile upon her face.
“That is most definitely so!" | reinforced. "But now you have everything you wanted, beautiful, you have the
dream job, you have your new pack, and, | would kind of like to think you have your dream man..." | winked,
causing her to giggle.
"Meh, he isn't too bad, | guess. Kind of the tall, dark, and handstype. A little mean and moody. Brooding.
Mysterious..." She joked, makingsmile. | would settle for that description, she madesound quite
appealing, in fact.
"Ooooh, he sounds perfect." | winked again, and she smiled, her eyes gazing atadoringly.
"But | definitely do have everything | wanted, Ash. And something | didn't expect; a mate. It shows just what you
can find when you aren't even looking." she said towith so much emotion in her voice. "And to know that
Miles will be dealt with is an added bonus. Maybe we should let my Dad know | am okay? Let him know we are
