Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

30

Chapter 30 Bailey | watched my Dad as his list flew toward the wall of hollice as he raged in anger. | had literally

just told him a portion of the things that had happened. The main thing being that Miles had rejected“Dad,

please calm down!” | begged him, knowing | could not risk my Uncle, the Alpha, hearing and coming in. | did not

want all of this to get out, not yemyways We needed to decide what should be done. We needed to decide what

was the safest thing to do. I think the safer thing for Harley, as hard as it is forto adjur, is for him to stay

away from me, | hate that he got hurt because of me, but the more | think about it, the more | know that that is

what happened. Once | had finished speaking to my Dad, and before went back to the hospital to see how Harley

was, | planned to mindlink Miles to demand answers. “Bailey, he rejected his mate!” my Dad snapped. “Tha is

not allowed for an Alphal He hurt you, Bailey, My little girl!” he growls angrily, and again the irony isthat he

sounds suddenly protective when, for so long, he had been completely oblivious to the persistent jibes and

bullying I had endured due to my studying. My geekiness. Basically for not fitting the way that was expected of

me. | was the Beta’s daughter. | should have been beautiful Sporty Popul. Much like my sister, Morgan, | guess,

So, 1 suppose, one out of two daughters being a stereotypical Heta daughter was something | suppose, My Dad

hadn’t completely tailed. He had just failed me, in that he had never been awal of the fact | was suffering so

much. Just as my Mum had been ignorant of it too. Sometimes | could’t help but wonder if they knew and chose

to ignore it because it was easier than having to deal with it. “I know he did, Dad, but it is done now. And in

truth, would not want him for a mate. He is nasty to me. He has done nothing but bullyfor years!” | told him,

and my Dad spun around to look at me, his face full of anger once more. Hmm. | don’t think y plan of calming

him down was going so well right now... “Bullying you?” he snarled. ‘F** it’ Akira snarls within my mind. He

needs to kilow

| feel her rippling close to the surface. This whole situation is truly pushing her to the edge of her limits right

now. Pushing harder so she was so close to shifting without crossing that limit. “They all did!” my voice snaps

withouteven planning to speak, but its tone is rougher, tellingAkira is in control right now. “I was the

source of ridicule for years, Jordan, Morgan. Miles. Ellis. Half of the school. All because | like to study. Because |

didn’t like to party.” My Dad's face fell at my words. “Oh.” He murmured. Akira seems to simmer back a little

now, like she feels she has got what she needed off her chest and she was happy forto deal with the

consequence. “Pad, that is unimportant now. What is important is this stuff with Miles. He rejectedbut he

won't letleave. | believe he hurt Harley too.” My Dad's face contorted somewhere between a confused

expression and an angry one. “The warrior guy?” he looked atwith his tows raised in question, and | nodded.

Dad shook his head, like he wouldn't quite believe my words. “Surely not. He is going to be the Alpha one day,

Bailey. Why would he be s**d enough to attack one of his own warriors?” 1/3 Wed, Jul Chapter 30 Bailey

“Because Harley and | have been seeing one another a little. And Harley discovered we were fated mates.” And

as | added those final few words a look of realization crossed my Dad's face. “Is he okay?” he demanded, and |

could only shrug, tears filling my eyes. “Didn’t you say you were at the hospital with him?” “I don’t know if he is

okay. When | chere they were still waiting for him to wake up. He was in theater. They said they thought it

was a rogue attack. Ellis took him to the hospital. He said he and Miles found him in the forest. So badly injured,

his wolf was struggling to heal him.” | explained all that | knew, and | saw my Dad chewing his lower lip, deep in

thought. “I suppose a rogue attack could be logical, Bai.” He smiled sadly, and just as | was about to argue with

him, he continued. “But we would have had sform of intruder warning if they had crossed

the border and there was none. | would have known about it. It makes no sense. It is too coincidental. He learns

of the fated mates and then suddenly he is attacked and conveniently found by Miles and Ellis. But | thought Ellis

would have known better.” “That is the part | can’t work out.” | told him. “Hmm. Maybe he caught him?” My Dad

suggested. “Why else would he bring the boy to the hospital? Because | can guarantee Miles would have left him

to bleed out in the forest.” And, deep down, | think my Dad could be right. “Bailey, you need to get out of here.

You are not safe. No, he was never right for you. | have no clue what happened with that boy. But the moon

goddess made an almighty fail with her mate bond between the two of you. He would be better fated to a lump

of s**t. About the sintelligence wise, about as much heart and soul as a lump of s**t, so a perfect match,

right?” he drops his head to his hands in frustration. “What will happen Dad?” | question suddenly, unsure what

would happen now Miles was at risk of knowing everything that could be revealed now. Especially if Jordan had

been in touch with him. “He would be angry | had told anyone.” “We need to have you leave the pack. So, | think

we should contact Autumn Valley Pack and ask if that role is available after all.” He tells me. “But...” | begin. He

shakes his head, a firm look of determination upon his face. “No buts, Bailey. This needs to be done. | will deal

with the mess here. And | mean deal with it. All of it. | will make sure that boy pays. For everything.” My eyes

widened at my Dad’s words. “What about Harley?” “I think it may be best for him to relocate for a while too,

once he is better. | will ensure the pack compensate him for his trouble.” He says calmly, like he was already

forming a plan within his mind. Though my Dad was an excellen Beta, he was experienced at forming plans and

skilled at putting the plans and their details into action. “Can | see him before | leave?” | ask, and my Dad smiles.

T1.

Test Wed, JUUST Chapter 30 Bailey move on, Bailey. His attachment to you has put his life in danger. And in the

coming weeks, the situation in the pack could be a little hazardous, to say the least. | will speak with his parents,

| think, to see about him being removed to another pack for treatment so he is not accessible to Miles.” My Dad

is already licking through a notebook upon his desk, like he is planning ahead. “And you call Autumn Valley, ask

about that job, or do you wantto? | can explain the predicament if needs be?” he says with a concerned

smile. “I will call Luna Eden.” | quickly told him, knowing she would have no issue with that. And definitely not

wanting my Dad telling everyone my business. Makinginto a s**b story! “When should | ask to move?” “As

soon as possible. Tomorrow if you can. The sooner you are away from here the better. But we will wait until

nighttand leave. He is usually out between 11 and 4, drinking | assume, so we have a perfect tslot to

make your escape unnoticed.” My Dad tellswith a smile, just as there was a knock at the door. We both

turned around in shock, as the door opened uninvited. “Ah, | thought | saw you guys walking in here.” Ellis said,

quickly coming in and closing the door behind him as my heart rate rocketed. “I, think we need to talk.” s
