Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0117

I looked across at Asher, and saw a sadness upon his face and I realized I had said far too much. I am not the only one who has had their own struggles. I should stop being selfish, and stop focusing on my own worries. I had been given a fresh start here in this pack, I didn’t want to mess that up. Beta Asher had been through so much more than me, and here I was feeling sorry for myself to him, he must think of me as a silly little girl…

I began to stand, thinking it better to give him some space, and again he placed his hand upon mine. “Are you going to be okay?” he asked softly, so far from the ruthless and callous Beta I had met on that first night it was unreal. In many ways it was like he was a completely different guy…

‘Hell, he almost seems human… well, not human, werewolf… but kind. Caring.. decent. A good guy. Who would of thunk it?’ Akira chuckled, but for once, I didn’t find her little digs at Asher all that funny. He genuinely did seem like a decent guy, even if some of it was being forced by Luna Eden. Maybe my mind had been that messed up with everything that was going on in my life, I had been too quick to judge him.

He had enough to deal with, and did not need bringing down by me and my pathetic worries. I smiled. “Yeah, I am always good.” I lied, and flicked my hair back from my face before looking at him again. “I get these occasional low moments, and then pick myself right back up. I will be good. You don’t need to worry yourself about me, Asher. Some chocolate and I am good to go.”

He chuckled. “I may have some chocolate back at my place if you want to come and share? Keep one another company for a little while? So your mind isn’t drifting back to the same things.” He suggested, a little tentatively, taking me by surprise, I had to say. That offer seemed so out of the blue, and so unlike him, I truly didn’t know how to react to his offer…

‘Ooohh, the Beta liiiikkkkeees yoooouuu!’ Akira giggled, clearly thinking this was a perfect time to tease me, so I quickly put my block up to her, not needing her input right now. She was not funny.

But, still, it confused me. I highly doubt he wanted to be keeping me company. I think he has been made to give up enough of his time for me over the last few days as it was thanks to Luna

we walked in a comfortable silence along the landing, to the short corridor leading off it, and he opened the door to what I assume was his Beta suite. Inside was modernly decorated in black, gray and white. Asher clearly took great pride in his home. Though part of me wonders just how long he actually spends here, because every time he
