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

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 “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

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?”
