Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

61

Chapter 61 - Bailey | had no choice but to accept the help of the most irritating man ever, and we were walking

through the forest together. He stomped heavily through the trees, evidently knowing where he was going.

Which | could not lie, was definitely a good thing, because without Akira here with me, | had no clue where | was

going! Of all the times for her to go off in a huff, now was definitely not an ideal time... “Were you on patrol?” |

asked. | only spoke because | was hating the awkward silence between us, but at the st| so desperately

not wanting to talk to him either. “Will you get in trouble for leaving?” “Yes | was, but nah | shouldn't think so.

Found sloner wandering in the forest, so | am bringing her back to pack for interrogation. Don’t think they

can argue withon that one.” He winked at me. “Interrogation?” | rolled my eyes. “Hmm, well, your name

could be a start?” he grinned. “Oh.” | felt my cheeks heating at his joke, he had clearly been teasing me, and

that had worked. He was such a d**k. “Bailey.” “Well, Bailey, nice to meet you. | am Marc.” He offeredhis

hand, but I chose to ignore it, not willing to shake his hand after he had done nothing since meetingbut

tease me, and going off his response, he had found great pleasure in it too! 0.00% 1107 * He looked ata

little uncomfortable before slipping his hand into his pocket and muttering, “Sorry.” | felt bad about how guilty he

looked, and realized | had likely offended him now. Dammit, | was being grumpy, and | knew | was...” No, it is

fine, | am sorry. Justbeing grumpy | guess.” | admitted with a sigh... “You missing home?” he asked and |

shrugged, “Worried about home, more like, but nobody is tellingmuch.” | said without really thinking, as |

focused on not tripping over again. | think tripping over once in front of this guy is enough for today... “Oh, that

doesn’t sound good. S***t going down there, is it?” he questioned, though | didn’t note any judgment in his tone.

| shrugged, not sure if to give him any further information. “It is complicated.” “That your way of tellingto

mind my own business?” he chuckled, and | smiled. “You are brave heading out here on your own then if things

are not great back home.” “Thanks.” | smiled at him again, not even willing to tell him it was a case of needing

to get away from there now. “So, are you excited about the new job then? They have been looking for a new

teacher for what seems like forever!” he toldwith a smile. “My Mum works there.” he added, as if he felt the

need to explain why he knew that. “Really?” | looked at him in surprise, feeling suddenly bad for being horrible to

the son of the woman who would soon be my Chapter 61-Bailey colleague. “Yep, good ol’ Mrs Sullivan.” He

grinned. “Sure she will be happy to have you there.” “We will see when | get there, | may be terrible!” | told him

with a wry smile, and he gavea shake of his head, as we crossed over the road from the forest heading

toward the main part of the pack. | knew had Marc not helpedit would have takenforever to find my way

here, because | still had no clue how we had got here! “I highly doubt that, or Alpha Caleb would not have taken

you on, they have been pretty fussy. Trust me, | would know, | heard it all from my Mum!” he grinned at me, and

| found myself smiling back. “You are weird.” | told him with a roll of my eyes, and he chuckled. “Gotsussed.”

He suddenly h**d his, arm around my shoulder in what appeared to be a playful gesture, givinga squeeze,

completely takingby surprise. “And you have knownabout ten minutes!”

| looked up at him, curious at what he thought he was doing, when a deep voice from across the road suddenly

disturbed us. “Get your hands off her.” Instantly, Marc's arm slipped from around my shoulder, and | saw fear

cross his handsfeatures, tellinghe knew that voice. He looked atanxiously before looking in the

direction of the angry sounding voice, as | too looked up, only to be met by the angry stare of Asher. Why the

hell was he being like that? 44.75% been helping her find her way back to pack.” “She has only just arrived Marc,

| am sure she does not need your womanizing ways interfering with her life.” Asher snapped, and | saw Marc's

face flush, looking guilty. But, despite the fact he may be a ladies’ man, my anger raced that Beta Asher was

being so rude towards him, not to mention interfering in who | was talking to... What is it to do with Beta Asher if

| choose to talk to him? “Would that not be my decision, Beta?” | questioned and both their eyes darted to me, a

look of surprise on Marc's face, and one of anger on Asher’s face. A dark scowl appeared upon Asher’s face as he

looked to Marc. He looked like he was ready to kill someone... “You have been here a matter of days, and you

have already found yourself a replacement for the guy you hoped to be your chosen mate that found his fated, |

see?” he looked atas he spoke icily, and his words hithard... | stood in shock at his words while Marc

looked atawkwardly, my whole body was trembling, so desperate to cback with a good argument, but, |

needed to get away. | could not believe this nasty f**r could throw such an evil comment atwhen he knew

how much I had been struggling with the situation with Harley. His kind words after had madethink there

was a nice guy inside his tough exterior after all. Ha... Evidently, he wasn’t the nice guy | was starting to think he

was. | didn’t want to be there a moment longer, because | could feel tears pr+g in my eyes, so as fast as | could, |

rushed away from the two of them. To hear Marc explaining that he thought

the Beta was out of order and that he had simply been helpingfind my way back to pack. But | am past

caring. | would be staying out of Beta Asher’s way.
