Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 7 Bailey

| sat at the coffee table painting my nails when my brother Jordan cstorming into the room. “What the f**k

have you been doing?” he snarled at me.

| glanced at him with a sideways glance. “Hi to you too big brother.” | smiled sarcastically, this being the first

tseeing him since | had returned.

“Do not big brotherBailey!” he snaps, throwing himself down on the sofa next to me. “What the f**k did you

do to Miles.”

Was he having a laugh? What did | do to Miles? He says it like | attacked him! Or pounced on him... He is the

upcoming Alpha for f**ks sake! It is not like he is unable to defend himself... though I should have known he

would go running to my brother to tell tales. Stir sh it like he always did. Makelook like the bad one.

“I didn’t do anything to Miles. Why?” | asked, my heart racing a little already, wondering why my brother was

angry over this. Had Miles confided in him? Did he know more now than he previously had? The thought of him

knowing | had been short-tempered with his friend didn’t botherin the slightest. The fact there was no love

lost between Miles, and | was well known, but what worriedwas now Ellis knew of our secret, would Miles

have told others too? Because that was the last thing | wanted. Especially for my brother to know, and especially

for him believing that I had rejected his best friend and our upcoming Alpha!

“So why was he cursing you out when we were at training? Him and Ellis. They would not be doing that for no

reason. A little odd when you had just arrived home, don’t you think?”

| shook my head. “Oh, that was because | was a little sarcastic this morning when | saw them in the garden. Both

acting like they were Go d's gifts.”

“Bailey, they are the equivalent of Go d’s gift to you and the rest of the pack. They are the Alpha’s sons. Of Alpha

blood. The future Alpha. So why the f**k are you disrespecting them?!” Jordan's voice is booming with anger.

“Hey! What is all the shouting about in here?” My Mum called through from the kitchen, but she didn’t actually

cinto the lounge to see what Jordan was shouting for. She would no doubt take his side, she always did. She

thought the sun shone out of his rear end.

“Bailey doing Bailey things. Being the social pariah she has always been. The failure to the family. as always.”

Jordan says with a roll of his eyes. “A makeover doesn’t change what you are, you

know.”

I glared at him. “And what am I, oh big shot Beta over here?”

He widens his eyes at the fact | have stood up to him, when in the past | never had. Being away has made me

change. It had givenconfidence, and the last few times | had chome, | had avoided my brother as he

was staying with his girlfriend or was away at his Beta training, “Who the hell are you talking to?” his hand is

suddenly gripping mine, tightly. His claws slipped out, digging into my skin, blood now trickling down my arm.

My wolf Akira was rippling beneath my skin, I could feel her presence coming closer to the

surface, trying to helpheal the damage done to the skin that my brother's claws were causing. But | can also

sense her anger at how he is treating me. As werewolves, we are taught to respect our family, yet my brother is

not showing respect to me. Not that he ever has...

“You.” | hissed, unable to get away while he had hold oflike that, and knowing that even if were to shift, my

wolf would not be able to beat my brother's.

“Well, I suggest you remember your place, Bailey. You may be Beta blood, but you are still a nobody in the pack.

Nobody cares for you. Nobody would notice if you were gone, so bear that in mind before you go shooting your

mouth off at people, Bailey.” Jordan says coldly, watchingwith his dark eyes. And I see no love or care there

for me. | hate that the man in front ofis my brother.

| felt a cold chill at his words. They sound an awful lot like a threat to me, but | am not about to show my brother

his words have affected me. | know nobody in the pack particularly cares for me. All because | never fitted in. |

was never one of the popular ones. Not like my brother and sister. All because | enjoyed studying. | becan

outsider. But did that mean they would harm me? | shrugged, not willing to show him any emotions.

“You say that like | want to be here, Jordan. It isn’t like | wanted to cback. | asked not to. But | was told to.

Alpha said | had to chome.” | told my brother sharply, and | saw his face contort in confusion.

“What? He did what? Like f**k the Alpha ordered you home! Miles said you begged to chwhen they

suggested you looked for work away, after your degree was done...” Jordan says in disgust, looking at me

equally disgusted, tellingthat this pack were not being honest. | do not know why Miles told my brother that,

but | know for certain | had been instructed by Alpha Marshall, Miles’s Dad and my Uncle, to return home

immediately once my degree was achieved. | had begged, yes, but it was the opposite of what Jordan suggested.

| begged for a chance to look for work away from the pack, not wishing to return to the mundane life | had here.

Nor to the mate who had rejected me. But | had been told it was not to happen...

| sigh to myself. | do not know why things were being twisted, but it only confirmed tothat being in my pack

was far from the right thing for me. | needed to find something else, and | needed to find

it soon....
