Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0233

Hearing Miles was on his way for Bailey had filled me with rage. Miles had, for so long, deemed Bailey not good enough for him. For the pack. Even to the point of rejecting her. Belittling her. Breaking her down over the years. Attempting to destroy her heart and her soul with his tactics. Yet here he was suddenly deciding he was going to try and pull her back from her escape from the pack?

It was frustrating that we didn't have more information to understand better what had occurred, but I am sure we would learn soon enough. Yet in the meantime, we needed the issues in the packhouse to be severe enough that Miles did not get to

Dana and Bailey seemed to get along great, and, I have to say, it was so good to see her again. That beautiful smile never seemed to dim, nor did that light in her eyes, despite the shit going on
