Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

52

Chapter 52 – Jordan I pulled up the car onto the driveway of the family house, despite the fact Gia and I now had a home of our own allocated within pack, but I did not intend to leave my Dad here alone to deal with Miles. Especially not with that look upon his face. He looked set for a f***g rampage ‘How much do you think he knows?’ My Dad mindlinked as I switched the engine off. ‘Not a clue, but don’t give anything away. Especially not our plan.’ I told him. ‘We need to speak with Uncle Marshall. Admit we allowed Bailey to go for a new job, but say that was because you did not want her degree to go to waste, and we have agreed she returns the moment we have a vacancy for her, right?’ ‘Good thinking.’ Dad agreed, as he opened his car door, like he did not care that Miles looked ready to kill someone. “Right baby, go straight into the house, my Mum should be in, or maybe Morgan. Once we have spoken to Miles we will head to our home, okay?” I said softly to Gia, and she smiled that gorgeous smile of hers at me, telling me all would be okay. I have her to think of now. I need to focus on my life with her. I stepped from the car, to see my Dad standing in front of the porch steps, in front of where Miles was sitting, yet he is not saying a word, he was simply staring at him. Gia is getting out of the car and I watch as Miles’s eyes drift over her, causing my heart rate to race and my wolf to snarl. Chapter 52-Jordan 288 Mouchers “Oh, you not like someone else looking at your little lady Jordy?” Miles said sarcastically, and something in his tone told me he had been drinking. “See, that is the plus side of not having a mate. It doesn’t matter as a woman is a woman. You don’t stay with them long enough for them to matter.” He laughed an almost sa**ic laugh, making me want to go and punch him, one for talking of my mate that way, but also for dismissing my sister in such a way. “Shut your mouth boy.” My Dad suddenly decided to speak. “And shift your lazy behind too.” He pulled Miles by his t-shirt, until he was face down in the dirt, before looking at Gia. “There you go

sweetheart, get yourself inside, I do believe this waste of space was waiting to talk ot us.” I looked down at my friend, who, as I had thought before, could only have been drinking to have allowed him to have been pulled over so easily. He was an Alpha, he should have been easily able to put up a fight against my Dad, despite my Dad being an experienced Beta. But Miles didn’t even bother. He had to have been drinking heavily. “What is going on Miles?” I offered him a hand as he was getting up off the floor. “I would ask you two f*k**rs the same question.” He snarled. “Where is my mate?” I looked at my Dad in sheer confusion. Bailey had said he had rejected her. He had said he had rejected her… so why was he calling her his mate? “Miles, she isn’t your mate, you rejected her, remember?” I told him. Chapter 52-Jordan 2.88 Vouchers “You know what I f***g mean. Ex mate. F**g b**h. She has disappeared.” His words were slurred, but still sounded angry. “And so had you.” he suddenly poked my Dad in the chest. My Dad looked down at the finger poking him in the chest, before grabbing hold of it, and twisting it. “Want to watch yourself there f***kface.” He snarled at Miles, and I pulled my Dad away from him before he started something we really do not need right now. I know he is desperate to defend Bailey, but it is not the right thing, not now. Miles rubbed his finger, scowling. Before glaring at my Dad. “Think it is you that needs to watch themselves. Going against pack orders.” “I didn’t go against a pack order. I used my Beta initiative, which oddly enough your Dad trusts me to do. So, I chose to give my daughter permission. And plan to okay it with your Dad. She will return when a vacancy becomes available here, as agreed with her when she gained her degree, that she works for us. But, as you know, there are no vacancies, so it seemed silly for her degree to go to waste. And for her to be sat twiddling her thumbs until we needed her, so I agreed she should find I something until we need her.” My Dad says with authority, like he dared Miles to argue, but I knew

d**n well he would. “That was not your choice.” He snarled. “Hmm, I believe it was.” Dad said. “No. Bailey was told she was not to work for anybody else. She had to remain in the pack.” Miles snarled. “Why? To be at your beck and call for you to make her feel even 0038 Chapter 52 Jordan 288 Wouchera. worse than you already had? I don’t think so little boy.” And suddenly my Dad was taking out his phone, scrolling through the contacts, and I could hear the dialing tone. Miles stood looking equally confused as my Dad began to talk once more. “Hey Marshall, how are you?” Miles flew toward my Dad, but I pulled him back, hard until he was once more sitting down on the porch steps, forced to listen to the conversation, as my Dad continued. “Look, I hope you don’t mind me making a decision without you, but I could not find you, and it was sort of an on the spot sort of thing. Autumn Valley urgently needed a teacher, and as you know, Bailey was at home twiddling her thumbs. So, I suggested she take it. I did not want her degree going to waste and her rotting away being bored here while we had nothing for her.” Dad said with a sly smile at Miles, whose eyes were dark, telling me his wolf was close to shifting. “I was aware of the order you gave to her, and I didn’t want to go completely against that, but at the same time, I didn’t want my daughter suffering either, so I compromised and told her as soon as a vacancy here became available she must return. Is that okay with you?” My Dad is nodding, I assume, in response to whatever my Uncle is saying to him, before he is suddenly hanging up and looking at Miles with a smile. “Oh, dear. Look at that, Daddy agreed with me.” Dad said with a smirk. “So if there is nothing else, perhaps you should run along.” And with that he walked into the house, leaving me with a furious- looking Miles who looked ready to kill someone. “What the f**k?” he roared.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

him. “But, right now, I have my mate to get settled into our new home, so I think that can wait for another day.” I added, before I too walked away from him to join the rest of my family. Hoping that my Dad could soon arrange that meeting with my Uncle to get Miles dealt with before he brought the pack down…
