Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Beauty 85

Chapter 85 - Bailey

| waved off the last little ones from my class at the end of another fun day in school. Two days in, and | was

loving this place more and more. The children were a constant source of happiness and | could not help but smile

in their company, despite how broken | had been feeling inside, and Alli and Gabby were both very sweet ladies

too. Both tried their hardest to makefeel welcome. Thankfully, there were no more unexpected visits from

Asher today. After last night, | don’t think | could cope with them. | could only imagine what he must be thinking.

| had barely slept once | had coff the phone to the Luna. Tossing and turning, thinking of everything Miles

had said. | didn’t know why he had decided to reach out to me. | planned to message my brother once | was back

in my room today to let him know everything. Also, it would givea chance to try to discover if anything else

was happening in pack and if any more progress had been made. Because, for sreason, nobody seemed to

want to keepupdated.

“Hey Bailey.” Gabby stuck her head in the doorway of my classroom. “Everything ok today?” She questioned as

she watchedtidying my classroom.

“Yeah, all was good.” | smiled back at her.

“Good stuff.” She walked away, leavingin peace to prepare my lessons for tomorrow, before I finished work

for the day. | didn’t really feel in the mood for sitting chatting and gossiping in the staff room like her and Alli

seemed to. | wanted to be

alone, especially right now. | know that wasn’t the best way to establish my place within the school, but for now

it was going to be the way it was, because thanks to Miles, my head was simply not in the right place.

It didn’t take long forto have my work done once I got into it, and withfully focused on it. So, | picked up

my things and walked out of my classroom and headed for the main door of the school. “Aww, are you off

sweetheart?” Allis voice called from behind me, as | turned, | saw her standing at the doorway of the staffroom

watching me.

“Yeah, all done for the day.” | told her with a smile. “Will see you tomorrow.”

She nodded, returning my smile. “You look tired. Get hand put your feet up. You wantto get Marc to

bring your dinner to your room?” she suggested, takingby surprise. Was she trying to find excuses for Marc

to spend twith me? That seemed a little odd...

“No, thanks for offering, but | will be fine.” | told her, definitely not liking the idea of a man | barely know coming

to my room.

Alli grinned in response. “What about the Beta? | am sure he would be happy to help?”

| frowned. Here it was again. The implication there was something betweenand Asher. All because Luna Eden

had urged him to cand check on me. Anyone could see that man was far from interested in me. In anyone, |

would say. So why Alli and Gabby felt the need to keep going on about it, | didn’t know, but it was beginning to

irritate me, “Most definitely not the Beta, thank you.” | snapped, before pushing open the main school door, only

to hear chuckling from the staff room, no

doubt Gabby and Alli finding my response highly amusing.

“You best not be telling them King Sociable invited you back to his lair to share his chocolate stash then.’ Akira

decided to begin. with her little quips, as | began walking along the path from school. ‘Imagine the !

Because | imagine he doesn’t do that for just anybody.”.

I rolled my eyes at the rubbish my wolf was wittering. She seemed to like windingup. Though last night she

was the one whimpering over Asher, if | am not mistaken...

‘Don’t even go there, Akira, or | will put a block up with your again.’ | warned her.

Think the happy one is rubbing off on you, you know? You have been putting a block ona whole lot more

since meeting him.’ she tells me.

‘Akira...’ | warned, to be greeted by a giggle.

‘Just saying. She giggled. ‘He gets happier, more smiley, and you get more grumpy. Go figure.”

| decided to ignore my wolf and her little digs, while I increased my speed as | walked through the pack, enjoying

the late afternoon sunshine, as | saw a few of the children from school playing in the nearby play area, squealing

in fun, makingsmile. | turned along the nearby road that led to the pack hospital, having promised Luna

Eden | would call in to visit her after work today.

| think she was getting sick of the sfour walls of her hospital room, not to mention seeing the speople.

She had near enough beggedto visit. So, | had been to the store and

bought her smagazines and streats before work, and had planned on heading to see her as soon as |

finished work.

The pack hospital was busy as | entered through the automatic doors, and walked down the corridor. Only to

bump into Alpha Caleb. His face lit up into a smile as he saw me. “Aww, Bailey, right?” he said, stopping in front

of me. “You on your way to see Eden?” he asked and | nodded.

“Yeah.” | agreed, unsure what else to say to him.

“She did say you were coming. Con, | will take you up to see her, then you know where to go. She will be

happy to see you. Think she gets bored with the sfaces.” He said with a chuckle.

“Thanks Alpha.” | nodded at him, feeling awfully uncomfortable, as | don’t know the guy particularly well.

“No worries. | hope you are settling in okay. We would have liked to have been there for you a little more, but this

little one is being a right little pain in the butt. Though, Eden says it isn’t doing anything to me, like I'm not

worried about her and the baby.” He grinned.

I smiled, feeling a little awkward at his words, feeling like | didn’t really know them well enough to comment. “I

am sure you are both worried. Baby will be worth it once they have arrived.”

“Oh for sure.” The Alpha has the biggest smile on his face as he says that, tellinghe is super excited at being

a Dad for the second time, makingwonder if he was even aware of Luna Eden's fears of everything that was

approaching...

Having walked down what felt like a serious maze of corridors,

Chapter 15 - Bailey

which I am sure all hospitals plan their corridors like to confuse you, we arrived at the end of a corridor, with a

doorway, to what looked like a suite. The Alpha opened the door, and walked in, and | heard Luna Eden speak as

he walked in. “Didn't you just leave?”

| couldn't help but smile at her, and even more so at the Alpha’s response. “Aww, and | love you too, baby! So

lovely to see your bright and beautiful face!” he stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry at her before

continuing. “However, | found someone on the corridor | thought you might like to see.”

Alpha Caleb motioned forto cinto the room, so | awkwardly walked in to the modernly equipped hospital

room, where Luna Eden laid on the bed, looking hot and bothered, and far from comfortable. “Yay! Bailey!” she

said, full of enthusiasm.

I smiled in response to her, ready to say hello as | heard a chair near the side of the bed scrape, and a throat

clearing, makinglook across, only to find Asher sitting there, about to stand, looking uncomfortable. “I will

get going Eden. Leave you to spend twith Bailey.” He said, avoiding my gaze.

“What?” Luna Eden said with surprise. “You just got her Ash, don’t be ridiculous. | can hold a conversation with

more than one person at once, you know? | know it may be beyond your abilities, but | can manage it.”

Asher was now standing, like he still intended. “Honestly sweetheart, it is fine, | will let you spend stime

with Bailey. | can cback later.”

The atmosphere in the room was uncomfortable, to say the least. Asher could not wait to get away, all because |

walked in to the room, it seemed...

Luna Eden was now frowning. “Sit down you idiot. You only just got here. Don’t be so rude.” She snapped, and |

realized then, there was no denying, that things with Asher were more than a little awkward, and he suddenly

seemed to want to avoidaltogether after what had happened last night...
