Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0164

I adjusted my hair, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I liked the new pink tone to my hair. A new me. I think it looked good. I needed a fresh start. Jacob had decided I was not the one for him, and had discarded me for some other she-wolf in the pack, so I was done. Hurting, but I needed to focus. I was stronger than a feeble, pathetic she-wolf who crumbled at the cheating scum of a boyfriend telling you that he was ending things to be with the bit on the side he had been seeing behind your back for months.

There was a heavy knock at my door. "Kaia, darling, your Dad is still waiting downstairs, don't be keeping him waiting too long." My Mum called, and I rolled my eyes at her. Jeez, they don't give me five minutes to myself. My Dad had literally called half an hour ago to request to see me. He seemed to believe I could magically create myself a portal to appear there in front of him the moment he demanded me there. Fully dressed and ready to see him. I had no clue what this was about, but if he was requesting a talk it had to be important, or otherwise he would just call in to the treatment center and catch me on one of my breaks. That was his usual tactic when he wanted me for something.

It was rare he was ever particularly bothered by me. The joys of having so many children, I suppose. It is difficult to keep up with them all, especially when you were an Alpha and had so many responsibilities.

"Yes Mum, I am coming now." I rushed to the door, adjusting my yoga pants and matching cropped top before I did. I planned to head to the gym once I had seen him. Today was my late start at work, and I planned to take out some of my frustration from the situation with Jacob out on the punchbags. Imagining it was his face would be a good start...

“Oh, is that what you are wearing?" My Mum questioned the moment she saw me, and I looked at her in shock. Forever judgmental my mother. Always having an opinion on everything and everyone. But, I wasn't aware she had suddenly been made the fashion police...

"I planned to go to the gym when I finished talking to him." I told her, with a roll of my eyes.

"Hmm. I do think you should dress a little smarter, Kaia." She said knowingly, which had me suspicious already, but I gave her a dark glare and walked away from her. I was not getting changed to meet my own Dad.
