Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

I begin to cook some breakfast for Lilah and myself, giving her some space as I

knew she was upset. Jake had linked me to say they were back so I asked him to make their way up here, time to get this over with and explain our unusual situation. I honestly think they are going to be happy, but at the same time confused as to why she doesn't want a mate...

I just hope that is something I can overcome... I want to kill that dick for the trauma him and his mate have caused to her....nobody should have to go through what she has had to, yeah teenage break ups happen but the mind games afterwards weren't normal and the literal bullying and torture she has endured since plus bordering on alienation from her pack at their hands.... I had no intention of her ever going back there....

I plated the bacon sandwiches I had made us, putting them onto a tray with the mugs of coffee I had just brewed and walked toward the living room. Just as Jake and the guys walked through the front door, I had told him to let themselves in...

As I walked into the living room I glanced around not able to see Lilah, but my eyes were drawn to the balcony doors....Fuck No!!!

I flung the tray to Jake, running toward the balcony, catching site of her stood at the edge, her long blond hair flowing behind her, I have no choice....

"GET DOWN NOW LILAH" I yelled using my Alpha tone.

A tone only an Alpha had that held such authority and dominance that anyone in the room would feel, and would be impossible to ignore or disobey. I avoided the use of my Alpha tone and aura unless absolutely necessary, hating the effect it had on others, The aura seeping from me right now was beyond powerful but I had no other choice as I'd feared I wouldn't have reached Lilah in time

otherwise.

She was ready to jump, I am certain of that... she was frozen to the spot, I ran to her, taking her in my arms, I could feel her body shaking, instantly Jake and Gabe were by my side.

"What happened?" Gabe said, I could see tears in his eyes.

"Knox?" Jake asked.

"Can

you give us a minute?" Lask them.

They both look to Lilah, then to me and nod, before walking back into the living room, I can see Indie
