Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0236

I saw the darkness on his face the moment he had turned to look at us, and knew we were in for a fight, but I had no intention of letting this fucker go and find my sister. Harley had done a valiant job of holding up until Ellis and I could get there, not that he knew we were coming... but the moment my Dad mindlinked to let me know what he needed of me, I was on my way. Determined to stop him and then the moment Ellis mindlinked soon after to say he would meet me outside the packhouse, I knew we could do this together. He needed to be stopped one way or another.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I can't lie, as we ran there, I feared what we might find. Expecting bloodshed, and sheer carnage. Miles certainly liked to cause that! And the frame of mind he was in today, according to my Dad, he was definitely in the mood for creating damage...

"Miles, come on, Dad needs you back at the packhouse. He is still trying to calm Alpha Aaron." Ellis said, a knowing look at his brother. Trying to calm him was an understatement. From what my Dad had briefly told me, the Alpha was irate about what had gone down. Though, considering what I had learned, I could not say his daughter was entirely innocent in all of this.

"Not my issue." Miles said coldly, moving to his house, clearly planning to grab his car keys. It was clear to see from the tone of his voice alone that he did not care for what had happened. There was certainly no regret there. I honestly do not know what has happened to my friend.

"Not your issue?" Ellis grabbed his arm roughly. "Are you fucking kidding me? You just killed one of his pack members. Not to mention insulting his daughter. There are still two packs out there waiting for the bride and fucking groom Miles! Clueless to what has gone on. This is your fucking issue, when you want to be the next Alpha! You step up, deal with the issues that present themselves in a decent and honorable way, not fucking slaughter people, then disappear! Those pack members need to know what is happening.

Miles turned sharply to look his brother dead in the eye. Both so alike to look at, yet so different in personality. Two completely opposite characters. "Oh, excuse me! I didn't realize you were such an expert at what it takes to be an Alpha. Consider yourself the perfect little future Alpha now, do you? Hoping all my fuck-ups will mean you get the title? Over my dead body, Ellis. You don't have what it takes to be the Alpha this pack needs! And as for the pack members all sitting there pathetically waiting, well, more fool them. They should get a fucking life. Did they truly think I would settle for that sort of skank? One who did not know how to keep her panties on?"

I bit my lower lip, unsure how we could deal with this. He was incredibly nasty, especially to his brother. And I hate to break it to him, Ellis had everything this pack now needed to be the Alpha, even more so after his Alpha training, and the more mistakes Miles continued to make, I imagine his family only saw that more and more. But, in regard to not having to settle for Kaia, in truth, I don't think I could argue with him about that. He had every right to be hurt that his wife had cheated. No matter the front he may be putting on right now, I know that Miles wanted Kaia. He had hopes for the two of them, and I had high hopes too. I had hoped she would be the one to calm him. Change him... but now I look at him and fear what may come of him.

"Look bro, I know this hurts like a bastard, but it needs dealing with. We need to get them gone, right? The only way we do that is by you going to deal with the mess. You have every right to be angry with her, even her Dad can't deny that." I reassured Miles in the hope he would see sense and come back with us. I cannot risk him getting into that car and following my sisters.

Miles's gaze fell on me now. "Why do I have to deal with it? I am not Alpha yet. Let my Dad deal with it. He has been so reluctant to hand over the Alpha title, so he gets to continue to deal with the shit that comes with it." He said with a smirk.

"Or he gets your brother to deal with

it. Let Ellis prove his worth as an Alpha instead?" I suggested,

knowing that would be a direct hit to the ego of Miles. He hated the prospect of his brother becoming Alpha over him. But, the more this situation developed, the more was certain that Miles was simply not capable of being an Alpha. "Because right now your Dad needs help sorting this out, and, as his sons, it should be one of you. So, you fuck off, it will fall to Ellis, and that will only secure him the position in my opinion. So you may want to watch your step right now. Consider your actions. They have consequences, and already you are treading a very fine line."

A deep growl emanated from Miles while Ellis turned to glance at me. 'Nothing like prodding the beast is there?' he mindlinked and I shrugged. 'Got to try getting him to see sense.' I replied.

I could feel Miles's eyes on me, and suddenly he had me by the collar, extremely uncomfortable being this close considering the fact he was still naked. "Why are you two mindlinking?" he hissed, his mouth next to my face and anger in his eyes. Talking about me? Coming up with a plan to deal with me? he laughed, a short and ironie sort of laugh, one that did not sound right from him, as his fist tightened upon my shirt, pulling me even closer. "Suddenly best buddies, aren't you? Well, guess what, I don't give a shit. You were never that good of a friend. Ellis is welcome to you."

I looked him dead in the eye. He hoped his words would hurt me, but they simply slid over me. He had been far from a good friend either. And, right now, he knew I was used to his temper, but of late, his temper seemed to have worsened.

Something I didn't even realize was possible! "Miles, grow up. It isn't a competition. We are trying to keep you safe. You want Alpha Aaron to report all this shit to the werewolf council? So they come marching in here ready to be investigating you and your actions?"

He raised his brows at me in question, before nodding. "I will come. But first, I need to go and put some clothes on. Give me a minute.”

I nodded. “Be quick then." And he suddenly rushed off to the house standing next door to my parents' home, as I looked to Ellis. "Let's hope this can be fixed. He seems out of control."
