Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0182

| rushed through the packhouse after being notified of my sister's arrival. A small part ofwas a little

apprehensive to see her after everything that had happened between us, but mainly | was excited. Looking

forward to seeing her. Having not seen any family since my move here. Upon our arrival back at the packhouse

Asher had decided it would be better for him to letgo and sort my room for my sister alone, tellingif he

returned to my room with me, he would not be able to promise what he would do, which madegiggle.

As | stepped out into the late afternoon sunshine, | saw Morgan's car pull up, and she wasted no tin jumping

out and flinging herself at me, "Aww Bai Bai, | am so glad to see you!" she squealed, just as Asher and Alpha

Caleb walked around the corner, making my cheeks flush with color, especially at her using the nicknfrom

when | was a lot younger.

| saw Asher smile as they approached. Before, Morgan decided to humiliateeven further. "You look so much

better with your hair like that, you know? Less 80s glam rock star. More modern and almost chic." She grinned at

me, and | could see she was teasing, but I rolled my eyes at her, my hair was far from that frizzy, it was naturally

curly, a little difficult to tame, but still | heard Alpha Caleb chuckle.

"I assthis is your sister, Bailey?" he asked, as the two of them were almost next to us now, and there would

have been no denying they had heard my delightful sister's final comment.

| nodded to agree with the Alpha and he smiled. "Beta Asher did say she was arriving today. Welcto the

pack."

Morgan smiled politely. "Thank you for lettingvisit my sister. | am surprised you'd want her here. What with

all the she causes." She chuckled, and I looked at her with a stare, hoping she might realize | did not

share my past with the pack, and she giggled awkwardly. "Joking, obviously."

While Asher was eyeing my sister warily now. This was not the best start to her visit...

"I don't think she has caused any , and she is a wonderful teacher." Alpha Caleb said with a polite smile to

Morgan, who rolled her eyes playfully.

"Yeah, so everyone says." She nodded. "But she should be, always having her head in a book to make sure she

would get her qualifications, right Bai?"

Asher's face was etched into a frown now, tellinghe did not particularly like my sister right now. "I think that

would be considered quite admirable, actually." He stated with a sideways glance at my sister, who looked a little

startled. And even the Alpha looked a little surprised at Asher defending

me.

"Oh, definitely." Morgan smiled sweetly. "I didn't mean it in a negative way. Bailey was always different to the

rest of us. She was a bit boring, and loved studying. I'd rather be out enjoying my twith friends. Having fun."

She shrugged.

"All about perspective, | suppose." Asher stated bluntly. "And what you perceive as boring, personally, I'd

consider it as being dedicated to her future goals." He defendedonce more, and | could feel my cheeks

flushing.

Morgan looked at me, seeming unsure what to reply, so she simply nodded and said. "I guess."

I could feel Asher's eyes on me, and | was desperate to get away before Morgan or the Alpha noticed. "Well, it

was nice to see you both." I smiled at the Alpha and Asher. "Please tell Luna Eden | will cand see her and

the little ones again soon." | added, and Alpha Caleb grinned at me.

"Ah, she will be happy, she keeps

asking after you. You seem to be her new texting buddy. It would be so much easier to formally make you a pack

member, Bailey, then you could mindlink one another. Though you'd probably never get any peace from Eden

then. | know | don't!" he grinned at me, and | smiled in response.

If I was honest, the thought of being a formal pack member here sounded like heaven to me. Formally leaving

my pack and being part of such a wonderful pack and

|

community here would be truly amazing. Not to mention, I loved my job here, and now things were the way they

were with Asher, and the potential of them developing. | was excited about my future. But, | knew in order to

leave my pack | was going to need my Alpha's permission, and that was always going to be difficult...

“Con then Morgan, let us get your things, | will show you to my room." | told my sister, who was watching

me, as | looked shyly at Asher, who was smiling at Alpha Caleb's words too.

Morgan waved toward the Alpha and Asher, as we moved toward the trunk of her car, before she looked at me.

"So, what is with the moody one?" she demanded.

| smirked. "What do you mean?"

"I think his face would crack if he smiled, that is even assuming he knows how to smile." She said as she pulled

her bags from the trunk and I tried hard to hold back my laughter. Her thoughts were almost the sas mine

and Akira's had been when we had first met Asher when we had arrived. Asher really did not give off the best

first impressions...

"Aww, he isn't too bad." | told her with a smile.

Akira giggled. 'Easy for you to say, he likes you!"

'l should hope he does!" | told her. 'Considering the things we have been doing!"

She giggled once more. 'Oh he does. | think we got him good!"

"There something you not telling me?" Morgan askedwith curiosity, and | looked at her innocently.

"No idea what you mean." | shrugged, not wanting to go into all this right now, especially with others around who

may hear. "Letshow you to my room."

Morgan and | grabbed her bags as she closed the trunk and locked her car. Before we walked into the packhouse.

She looked a little deflated, | have to say. Despite her brashness as she had arrived, she did not look herself. |

sighed, "Are you doing okay, Morgan?"

She slowly shook her head. "Not the best Bai, | can't lie. | wish | had stayed away from him. Wait until you hear

the things he has done!"

| knew now the next few days with her here were likely going to be difficult...
