Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Beauty 103

Chapter 103 – Bailey I looked up at Asher, my heart feeling it was going to race right out of my chest, having admitted to him everything that Miles was doing to me, yet, oddly, he didn’t seem angry, he looked concerned. “I wish you had told me this when I asked you that first time, Bailey.” He said softly. I sighed. When he asked me that first time, I knew he had feared for his pack, but realistically, I didn’t think Miles would do anything to his pack, and considering the way Asher had been acting toward me, I was not really willing to open up to him… “I didn’t really know you.” I admitted, and he sighed, his shoulders sagging, like he was bearing the weight of the world upon them. “But, you have been suffering alone, beautiful, and that cannot have been easy.” He said, reaching for my hand, softly stroking his thumb over the palm. “Trust me, I have been coping alone with Miles for a long time, Asher, it is nothing I am not used to.” I said with a shrug. I see his face tighten into a frown. “Why are your family oblivious to it, Bailey?!” he growls, taking me by surprise. Was that him getting a little protective? “He is the upcoming Alpha, everyone thinks the sun shines out of his butt. Why would they believe me over him? I was never considered anything special in the pack, Asher. I was the geeky Beta’s daughter. I blended into the background. Always had my head in a book. One to pick on and laugh at. And because the upcoming Alpha liked to pick on me, so did everyone else. Even 12:12 Chapter 103 Bailey 288 iVouchers my own brother and sister. I got used to it.” I explained with a shrug. “Bailey, that may be something when you are at high school, but as grown-ups?” he questioned, and I could tell from the look. upon his face he was far from impressed. I looked down at my feet, unsure how to explain. I know what he is saying is right, but I had just accepted how things were. I was what my life had become, and I focused on what I had wanted. On my studies. “It just kind of continued.”

Beta I had first met, “No. There is nothing to hope, Bailey, we will keep you safe. When you feel ready, we will talk about the things he has done. But, I promise, I won’t let him hurt you, Bailey. Caleb wouldn’t either if he knew.” “No!” gasped. “Seriously, Asher, you can’t be telling him anything.” 12:120 Chapter 102-Bailey The look of shock upon Asher’s face took me by surprise, as I pushed him away from me, but I would not risk anyone else knowing all of this. Luna Eden knew little pieces, but not full details. Alpha Caleb was the Alpha of the pack, and it could alter his view of my pack

before, where we were upset with one another, and we stormed off, Bailey, and do you know how s**t that made me Chapter 103-Bailey 288 iVouchers feel?” he muttered, and I faltered at his words. He felt bad then too? I thought he was angry at me. He avoided me afterward… I moved away and went and sat on the edge of my bed nervously, feeling oddly uncomfortable with Asher suddenly inside of my room. “We need to talk, get this sorted, then I will leave you to sleep, okay. Let us at least clear the air, or I will have even less chance of sleeping than normal, Bailey.” I felt my heart fluttering at his words now. I hate the thought of him not sleeping because of me. He had already said he struggled sleeping, but I didn’t want to be a reason that was any worse, so I slowly raised my gaze and nodded. Watching as he turned and closed the door behind him. “I don’t think I will be doing the pack run tomorrow.” Asher muttered as he leant against the wall next to my bed. I couldn’t help but smile, assuming he felt uncomfortable at the thought of joining me sitting on my bed. “Pack run?” I questioned, not recalling any mention of it. He nodded. “All in the information I gave you. Good to know you read it.” He grinned, and I smiled bashfully. Okay, he may have got me there. I am not even sure
