Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

43

Chapter 43 Bailey The happy Beta left me in what was to be my new room to get settled and wandered off with my Dad at his heels giving him a hard time it sounded like. I am sure by the time he had allocated him a room he would be ready to throw my Dad from the stairway, because he truly seemed to be enjoying riling the Beta up. Though, his miserable face did seem to have forgotten what a smile actually was, so my Dad likely saw that as a challenge. I threw m my bags down in the corner of the room with the intention of sorting through them tomorrow, as my eyes were already beginning to droop. The late drive had been far from ideal, but I was finally here now. My fresh start could begin. I just dreaded what the outcome would be when Miles discovered. I was gone, but I planned to speak to Luna Eden tomorrow and explain my predicament, asking that they give me some form of protection at least. If not, at least I would have given them a heads-up of any potential trouble from Miles if he decided to come here to cause issues, which I could only hope he wouldn’t.. But, for now, it was time to sleep. Because, just as the cheerful ball of sunshine of a Beta had so kindly pointed out, I looked knackered, and I needed some decent sleep, and that was exactly what I planned to do, as soon as I had got myself washed and sorted. The following morning. I was awoken by a hammering at my bedroom door. I rubbed my eyes in to try to waken myself, wondering momentarily where the hell I was, then remembered the new pack, and instantly felt brighter.

Opening the door sleepily, I was shocked to see the Beta from last night standing there, looking just as cheerful as he did last night. What the hell did he want? I simply looked at him through half dead eyes. truly lost for words.

looks at me with curiosity. I can’t imagine I was the best of sights, in small black jersey shorts, and a gray tank top that I wore to bed, and my long dark hair in disarray. I likely looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards. But, in all honesty, I didn’t care what the cheery Beta thought of me, if he didn’t want to see me in a mess, he shouldn’t turn up at my door when he likely knew I would be in bed. Feb….. “Well, perhaps you would like to sort

up and think a wonderful way to start my day would be to es the new girl to breakfast? Sorry to disappoint you, Miss West. It ain’t my sort of thing I do have better things to do with my time, you know? Luna Eden is struggling with the latter stages of pregnancy and is quite unwell today. Alpha Caleb has had to take her to the pack hospital to be checked over, so I have been allocated to take over your induction. Is that an issue?” My heart drops at his words. He makes me out to be desperate to spend time with him, like he believed I had thought he had chosen to come and take me for breakfast. D**n, I can’t imagine this jolly f**r would want to have breakfast with anyone… Perhaps Satan, going off the look in his eyes… I imagine they would get on well! But his words make me feel like I have thought the wrong thing about expecting Luna Eden here, when that was what he told me was happening, only last night! And then he
