Chapter 172 Caleb

• Hearing everything Asher had told me had shocked me. This poor girl had been through a lot. There had been slivers of information that Eden had accidentally mentioned, and then sworn me never to mention – she had never been the best at keeping secrets. But, my mate liked to talk about this new teacher we had accepted into our pack. One that we evidently knew very little about when we agreed to hire her.
• Bailey had come across so well when we interviewed her; though in truth, the things I had learned did not change my opinion of her. The things she had gone through did not change the woman she was. If anything, they made me view her even more highly. Made me see her as being even stronger. And I knew my wife thought incredibly highly of her too.
• Bailey had become a firm friend of my wife. So I knew a little of Bailey’s difficult times; but never had I known the severity of the mess she found herself in. She needed assistance, of that there was no denying, and I only wish she had spoken up sooner, because we would have provided it without question. I would never allow someone to endure the things she was and not offer our help. But, I think a small part of me understood why she may have kept quiet.
