Saved by The Alpha

Chapter 6

~~Light Editing~~

My heart was hammering in my chest, I was worried it was beating so loudly that Mom would be able to hear it. There was a few seconds wait before I heard shuffling on the other side of the door. I watched as the door knob turned. The door opened to reveal the person I remember from my old life. My mom.

Her eyes landed on me and at first, she looked at me with confusion. Then, almost all at once, her eyes lit up and her mouth fell open.

"B-Bailey?" She whispered. That's when the waterfall broke out. I fell into her arms and wept into her shoulder. "Oh my- Bailey. You came home. Bailey." She just kept repeating my name as she held me close. I didn't trust my voice so I just didn't say anything.

After a while of just hugging, she pulled back to look at me.

"You have grown up so much!" She laughed as she moved hair out of my face. "I thought you were gone." Mom whispered in awe. That's when Mom looked behind me at Nathan. "And who did you bring with you Bailey?" Mom asked me.

"Mom, this is Nathan. He saved me."

"Saved you?"

"I'll explain."

"Come inside, let's talk in here where it's more comfortable." I grabbed Nathan's hand as Mom led us inside.

Told you she would remember you.

Nathan said to me over the mind link. I didn't respond but I squeezed Nathan's hand. I looked around the house and noticed a lot of different things. There was a few things that stayed the same, but most of the house looked new and remodeled as well as new furniture. Nathan and I took off our shoes by the door and walked with Mom to the living room and Nathan and I sat on the couch while Mom sat on the rocking chair.

Nathan pulled me to his side and grabbed my hand in his while giving me a smile. I smiled back.

"Do you remember the day I went missing?" I asked Mom. Her eyes lost its light and looked sad and droopy.

"I remember it like it was yesterday." She said in a loud whisper. "You asked to go to the park, I told you to be back for supper and to not talk to strangers, you left but never came back. When I went to look for you, you were no where in sight. I searched for hours that night, I lost my voice and my energy. You were just gone. I had the whole police station looking for you, they even brought search and rescue dogs. But after a few days, they gave up and just sent out alerts and things like that."

"I was taken by a man named Aaron." I said to her. "He took me hours away, deep into the forest to his cabin like house." I then went on to tell her the story again, for the second time today. Leaving out the werewolf part because if she was a werewolf, she would have been able to feel Nathan's alpha power.

"I'm so sorry Bailey!" Mom said after my story was done. Again, I was shaken up and teary, but Nathan's strong hold, scent, and tingles calmed me down enough. She ran over to me and hugged me. Then she hugged Nathan.

"Thank-you." Mom said to Nathan.

"It was my honor." Nathan smiled while wrapping his arm around my small frame. We talked again for longer, catching up on some things.

"Oh! I have some things for you. I will be right back." Mom said after like half an hour of just talking. Mom stood up and walked downstairs.

"Thank-you Nathan. It's good to see my Mom again." I whispered to him.

"Of course, and now I have met your mother." Nathan whispered back. Mom came back not that long after with an arm full of gifts. She grunted while she set them down on the floor in the living room.
