Chapter 20 Bailey

• After a lovely hour sitting in the beautiful gardens with Luna Eden, enjoying the most delicious of cake and coffee, my Dad had come to find me, and see if I was ready to come home. He seemed excited to hear that Luna Eden was keen to have me come and work for her. So, when he told her she would be hearing from us very soon, I did not have the heart to disagree. Because, yes, they likely would be hearing from me, but it may not be in the way they were expecting.
• My Dad had tried talking to me on the way home, wanting to know all the details of the interview, but in all honesty, I had lost all interest in conversation. I felt deflated. My mood low. I had been building up to this moment since the day I began my degree. Excited about the day I would gain a job offer. And now the seemingly impossible had happened, I was likely going to have to turn them down. All because of an over-bearing and controlling Alpha and ex-mate who seemed to think he still had some say in what I did with my life.
• As a mate who had rejected me, he didn’t have a say. But as my upcoming Alpha, sadly, he would always have control and that is what he was using against me. Because that meant he could threaten me with a whole host of things, which is what worried me. Miles had changed from the guy he used to be. As his coming of age had approached, his attitude had grown. And since his wolf had arrived, he had become more and more egotistical. Narcissistic and self-centered.
