Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

30

Chapter 30 Bailey I watched my Dad as his list flew toward the wall of hollice as he raged in anger. I had literally just told him a portion of the things that had happened. The main thing being that Miles had rejected me “Dad, please calm down!” I begged him, knowing I could not risk my Uncle, the Alpha, hearing and coming in. I did not want all of this to get out, not yemyways We needed to decide what should be done. We needed to decide what was the safest thing to do. I think the safer thing for Harley, as hard as it is for me to adjur, is for him to stay away from me, I hate that he got hurt because of me, but the more I think about it, the more I know that that is what happened. Once I had finished speaking to my Dad, and before went back to the hospital to see how Harley was, I planned to mindlink Miles to demand answers. “Bailey, he rejected his mate!” my Dad snapped. “Tha is not allowed for an Alphal He hurt you, Bailey, My little girl!” he growls angrily, and again the irony is me that he sounds suddenly protective when, for so long, he had been completely oblivious to the persistent jibes and bullying I had endured due to my studying. My geekiness. Basically for not fitting the way that was expected of me. I was the Beta’s daughter. I should have been beautiful Sporty Popul. Much like my sister, Morgan, I guess, So, 1 suppose, one out of two daughters being a stereotypical Heta daughter was something I suppose, My Dad hadn’t completely tailed. He had just failed me, in that he had never been awal of the fact I was suffering so much. Just as my Mum had been ignorant of it too. Sometimes I could’t help but wonder if they knew and chose to ignore it because it was easier than having to deal with it. “I know he did, Dad, but it is done now. And in truth, would not want him for a mate. He is nasty to me. He has done nothing but bully me for years!” I told him, and my Dad spun around to look at me, his face full of anger once more. Hmm. I don’t think y plan of calming him down was going so well right now… “Bullying you?” he snarled. ‘F** it’ Akira snarls within my mind. He needs to kilow Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I feel her rippling close to the surface. This whole situation is truly pushing her to the edge of her limits right now. Pushing harder so she was so close to shifting without crossing that limit. “They all did!” my voice snaps without me even planning to speak, but its tone is rougher, telling me Akira is in control right now. “I was the source of ridicule for years, Jordan, Morgan. Miles. Ellis. Half of the school. All because I like to study. Because I didn’t like to party.” My Dad’s face fell at my words. “Oh.” He murmured. Akira seems to simmer back a little now, like she feels she has got what she needed off her chest and she was happy for me to deal with the consequence. “Pad, that is unimportant now. What is important is this stuff with Miles. He rejected me but he won’t let me leave. I believe he hurt Harley too.” My Dad’s face contorted somewhere between a confused expression and an angry one. “The warrior guy?” he looked at me with his tows raised in question, and I nodded. Dad shook his head, like he wouldn’t quite believe my words. “Surely not. He is going to be the Alpha one day, Bailey. Why would he be s**d enough to attack one of his own warriors?” 1/3 Wed, Jul Chapter 30 Bailey +5 Pearls “Because Harley and I have been seeing one another a little. And Harley discovered we were fated mates.” And as I added those final few words a look of realization crossed my Dad’s face. “Is he okay?” he demanded, and I could only shrug, tears filling my eyes. “Didn’t you say you were at the hospital with him?” “I don’t know if he is okay. When I came here they were still waiting for him to wake up. He was in theater. They said they thought it was a rogue attack. Ellis took him to the hospital. He said he and Miles found him in the forest. So badly injured, his wolf was struggling to heal him.” I explained all that I knew, and I saw my Dad chewing his lower lip, deep in thought. “I suppose a rogue attack could be logical, Bai.” He smiled sadly, and just as I was about to argue with him, he continued. “But we would have had some form of intruder warning if they had crossed

the border and there was none. I would have known about it. It makes no sense. It is too coincidental. He learns of the fated mates and then suddenly he is attacked and conveniently found by Miles and Ellis. But I thought Ellis would have known better.” “That is the part I can’t work out.” I told him. “Hmm. Maybe he caught him?” My Dad suggested. “Why else would he bring the boy to the hospital? Because I can guarantee Miles would have left him to bleed out in the forest.” And, deep down, I think my Dad could be right. “Bailey, you need to get out of here. You are not safe. No, he was never right for you. I have no clue what happened with that boy. But the moon goddess made an almighty fail with her mate bond between the two of you. He would be better fated to a lump of s**t. About the same intelligence wise, about as much heart and soul as a lump of s**t, so a perfect match, right?” he drops his head to his hands in frustration. “What will happen Dad?” I question suddenly, unsure what would happen now Miles was at risk of knowing everything that could be revealed now. Especially if Jordan had been in touch with him. “He would be angry I had told anyone.” “We need to have you leave the pack. So, I think we should contact Autumn Valley Pack and ask if that role is available after all.” He tells me. “But…” I begin. He shakes his head, a firm look of determination upon his face. “No buts, Bailey. This needs to be done. I will deal with the mess here. And I mean deal with it. All of it. I will make sure that boy pays. For everything.” My eyes widened at my Dad’s words. “What about Harley?” “I think it may be best for him to relocate for a while too, once he is better. I will ensure the pack compensate him for his trouble.” He says calmly, like he was already forming a plan within his mind. Though my Dad was an excellen Beta, he was experienced at forming plans and skilled at putting the plans and their details into action. “Can I see him before I leave?” I ask, and my Dad smiles. T 1.

Test Wed, JUUST Chapter 30 Bailey +5 Pearls move on, Bailey. His attachment to you has put his life in danger. And in the coming weeks, the situation in the pack could be a little hazardous, to say the least. I will speak with his parents, I think, to see about him being removed to another pack for treatment so he is not accessible to Miles.” My Dad is already licking through a notebook upon his desk, like he is planning ahead. “And you call Autumn Valley, ask about that job, or do you want me to? I can explain the predicament if needs be?” he says with a concerned smile. “I will call Luna Eden.” I quickly told him, knowing she would have no issue with that. And definitely not wanting my Dad telling everyone my business. Making me into a s**b story! “When should I ask to move?” “As soon as possible. Tomorrow if you can. The sooner you are away from here the better. But we will wait until nighttime and leave. He is usually out between 11 and 4, drinking I assume, so we have a perfect time slot to make your escape unnoticed.” My Dad tells me with a smile, just as there was a knock at the door. We both turned around in shock, as the door opened uninvited. “Ah, I thought I saw you guys walking in here.” Ellis said, quickly coming in and closing the door behind him as my heart rate rocketed. “I ̧ think we need to talk.” Send Gifts
