Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

36

Chapter 36 Bailey My Dad had left me in my room, with strict anders to begin to pack my things, and also to chuse up my peration within the Autumn Valley Pack Which had reminded me I had yer to check if Lea Eden hat responded to my cather message I had been so distracted with everything else that had been going on, that the message had completely slipped my mind. I dropped to my bed as I pulled my phone from my pocket, only to find a short message from Earr Eden, a simple message of two words – Call me! I could not help but chuckle at her message, but I laid back onto my bed, and did exactly as she had asked, because, as my Dad had pointed out, my position within their pack was not yet secured, needed somewhere to go to get away from Miles and the mess he seemed to be creating around me all because of the f**d up mate bond we had been given between us. “Hello you! I wondered when you would call!” Luna Eden greeted me, like a long-lost friend. “Nothing like keeping a girl on edge is there!” “I am so sorry, things have been so hectic here.” I told her honestly. “So I gathered from your message. Are you going to confess all to your new Luna then?” she teased. making me smile, but I wonder just how much I should be sharing with her. If she knew everything would she consider me too much of a complication for their pack to allow a job and a home? “I have had some issues with my fated mate. Let me say that, he rejected me, so, I was told I should remain here, but now, I have been told it is for the best and for my own safety, that I look to move away, so if the role is still available, I would love to come and work for you.” I say quickly, not wanting to say too much, but needing to give some information at the least to explain my quick turn around in my decision. “Oh bless you, though I do think you did say some of that already. But, if you don’t feel able to tell me just yet, that is fine, I understand. But, like I told you, we were so impressed with your resume.” Luna Eden tells me, making me hopefully she was going to agree to what I needed her to, “I haven’t even worked anywhere yet other than the work placements I did during my degree.”

asked without even needing to contemplate it. The sooner I left this place the better. And the sooner was gone, the sooner my Dad and Ellis could do what they needed to do. I knew that Harley was leaving tomorrow too. Leaving for his fresh start. I should leave for mine 100. Two fresh starts apart from one another. Not what I had expected a few days ago. But something I would come to accept, I am sure.

Were they expecting a few weeks’ time? “I am sorry, is that too soon? I could just do with getting away…” I began. “Aww sweetheart, no. If you need to get away, then tomorrow is perfect. We will get you sooner. You will just have to stay in the

touch, won’t you? I know we may not be together now, but we can still be friends, right?” he asks, and I can hear the emotions in his tone once again. He is finding this all as hard as me. Which only makes me feel worse about it all. But, as much as it isn’t what I want, I know it is what we both need… “Of course, that is all I would want, Harley” I can feel tears building in my eyes again at the thought of not seeing him properly. Things between him and I had barely gone beyond the occasional kiss. And he was always incredibly sweet. But, him offering to take me as his chosen mate seemed to indicate a deeper level of feeling there. It had meant so much to me. Given me hope and I don’t think he knew just how much that meant to me. “We might not be in the same places after tomorrow, Bai, but I am still there if you need me. If you need me, you only have to yell, right? Call. I will do what I can to help.
