The hunter

Time to Talk

Bayley started to walk back and forth and let out small growls. "Well, I believe your time is up, and my cub is getting impatient," Sasha said. "I didn't kill her, and I just moved her body. I did what I was told to do and moved her to another location." The man said. "He is telling half the truth," Bayley tells Sasha mentally. "Who took care of Lita's body, and what happened to the used bullet?" Sasha asked. "The bullet?" The man said. "Shut up! Don't answer any more questions." Jake told his partner. Bayley knew her uncle knew more than what he was letting on. Bayley looked up at Sasha and flashed back to that day in the woods. Bayley wanted to give herself to Sasha but wasn't sure how Sasha felt about her. Bayley knew she had imprinted on her, and she wanted to mark her. "Hello, my little cub," Sasha said, hugging Bayley. "Hello, I got you this," Bayley said, handing Sasha a red rose. "It's beautiful, and thank you," Sasha said. "Can I keep you now?" Bayley asked hopefully.

"I don't think your mom or dad would like that," Sasha said sadly. "I don't want you to be alone, or have you found someone else?" Bayley asked. "I haven't found anyone else. You're the one I want to be with." Sasha said. Before Sasha could say anything else, Bayley leaned in and kissed her. Sasha instantly kissed Bayley back, matching the same passion that Bayley was showing. They finally broke apart when breathing became a problem. "I want to be with you, but once again, time is short," Sasha said. "Do you know how heartbreaking this is for me every time I have to leave you?" Bayley tells Sasha.

"I know, I feel the same way, but you are still underage. Until you are of age, you can't come with me yet. I know it's heartbreaking, but we only have couple more years." Sasha said sadly, wrapping her arms around Bayley. "I feel I'm going to lose you, which will kill me. Because I've felt like I already imprinted on you." Bayley said. Sasha knew this was hard on her, but they needed to wait. "Bayley, you're not going to lose me, but you're still underage. I wouldn't be able to take you home with me. You still have to go home with your mom and dad." Sasha pointed out.

Bayley ended the memory because she didn't want to endure the pain. Bayley knew Sasha was right that day, but what happened afterward caused her even more pain. Sasha noticed another memory came to Bayley's mind. "Hello, little one; I want you to know I killed your friend last month," Jake said with an evil smile. "What are you talking about?" Bayley asked. "So, you don't need to wander off. Instead, you can talk to Mark here. By the way, I gutted your friend and burned the body." Jake said, laughing. Bayley could feel her heartbreak in pieces. "Hello beautiful, Jake here said you would go out with me," Mark said. "No, thank you!" Bayley said, walking back to her mom.

"What's the wrong little one?" Lita asked. "Jake is trying to set me up with that man," Bayley said. Lita lost her cool and hit Jake. "You do not choose who my daughter will date," Lita growled. "I apologize to you and Bayley. But she should have chosen someone by now." Jake said. "You know you can't force it, and you should worry about yourself," Lita growled. "What the hell is wrong with you?" Frank asked. "I'm sorry, father," Jake said. "So Jake, can I sleep with her now?" Mark asked. "What the hell!" Lita yelled and hit Mark. "My daughter isn't going to sleep with you! She is underage." Lita yelled, asking her to kick Mark in the balls.

Sasha could see the sadness in Bayley's eyes. Sasha couldn't believe Bayley's uncle had lied to her. Sasha remembers when she came back, and Bayley wasn't there. Bayley has seen Sasha's memory looking for Bayley. Sasha wondered where Bayley was and hoped nothing had happened to her. Sasha knew she was gone a little longer than she had planned. Sasha moved closer to the clearing and noticed Lita. "Where is my little one?" Frank asked. "Dad, she isn't doing good. Bayley hasn't shifted yet, and she seems heartbroken about something. She won't talk to me about what's bothering her. I've never seen Bayley so depressed, and Jake's actions didn't help either." Lita said. "Give her time, my love; she will come around," Frank said.

"Roman isn't helping at all, and he seems happy that Bayley won't shift. He thinks she was taken after him and his vampire side. If she doesn't shift soon, the wolf inside her will grow uneasy and uncontrollable. No one will be able to stop her."Lita said, worried. "I know Roman would love Bayley just to be a vampire, but I can feel she is a wolf," Frank said. Sasha wonders what happened with Bayley. Sasha could feel her cub's pain, and she needed to find her. Sasha heard Bayley let out a growl and shift again. Bayley had her uncle by the neck, "You lied to me and told me you killed Sasha. Then you tried to sell me off to your friend." Bayley said, closing her hand tighter around Jake's neck. "Bayley, please put him down. I know he lied to you, but his plan didn't work; we still found each other." Sasha said.

"He lied to me, and why shouldn't I rip his head off?" Bayley asked angrily. Sasha knew Bayley was right, but she didn't want her to go down that path. "I know you are mad, but I don't want you to go down that path. Once you cross that line, you could never return from it again." Sasha said, reaching up and touching Bayley's cheek. Bayley released Jake and just looked at Sasha. "Austin, let these two go, please, and if we see you near us again. I will kill you personally." Sasha said, never looking at Jake. "Jimmy and Jey take these two to the car so we can drop them at the forest's edge. Don't take off the chains." Austin said.

Kate kept her eyes on Sasha and Bayley and wanted to know more about how they met. Kate waited until Austin left the room before saying anything to them. "Here you go, Bayley; put the robe on so you can shift back. Then I want to hear your story about how you two met?" Kate asked. Kate and Sasha watched as Bayley shifted back into her usual self. Kate waited for a few minutes and could tell Bayley did not want to give up that information. "Lovebug, this is just between the three of us. Thinking back, you would be so happy when you came home with your mom, and when it was close again for mother-daughter day, you would be super excited. Did that have something to do with you, Sasha?" Kate asked.

"I don't want to talk about it right now!" Bayley said sadly. Sasha could still see flashes of Bayley looking for her. "Bayley, are you ready to go?" Lita asked. "I don't feel good, so I'm going to pass on this visit," Bayley said. "I know what Jake did was wrong, and I promise he won't be there," Lita said. "Sorry, I'm not feeling up to it. He killed my mate, and I don't want to go back." Bayley said. "Bayley, we went over this; you won't choose a mate until you are age." Lita pointed out again. Bayley didn't say anything, but she knew she had imprinted on Sasha. Sasha realizes part of the reason Bayley stopped talking was because of her. "One of the reasons you stopped talking was because you thought you lost me?" Sasha asked.
