Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0281

"No. Bailey, you are making a mistake. You know that right?" Miles said coldly, trying to get my attention. I turned to look at him, shaking my head. He had a fucking nerve. I am making a mistake?

"No. You were the mistake Miles. A mistake from the moon goddess when she fated me to you. Because that never made sense. I would never come back to you. Or that pack." I told Miles, while squeezing Asher's hand. I knew where I was meant to be. "This is where I belong."

The proudness upon Asher's face told me all I needed to know, while Miles shook his head, with an expression I don't think I had seen upon his face before. Remorse? Guilt? Pity? I honestly didn't know. I think he knew he had lost everything. "Clearly you made your choice. I do not want another man's sloppy seconds. I will be leaving now." He began to turn away, and I was more than happy to allow him to go, so I was surprised to hear Alpha Caleb intervene.

"I am afraid that isn't happening." Alpha Caleb said, his voice full of authority. "You have said what you came to say, allowed Bailey to gain her closure, and had somewhat of a pathetic attempt at an apology. Now, you will come to the cells. The Council are on their way for you."

I was shocked by his words. Somebody had finally reported him to the Werewolf Council? I had been tempted so many times, but Miles had made so many threats to me. I had always backed out, knowing I would have no proof or no back up. Now there was back up, and plenty of it... Miles's eyes flashed dark, and I knew what that meant, as he roared. “The fucking council?!" He surged forward, his wolf Jet ready to take control, and I knew then we would be in trouble as he was as crazy, if not more so than Miles. But at that instant, Asher, Caleb and Marc were moving. All toward Miles, ready to take him down, and they did. Knocking him to the floor with a sickening thud. Before the doctor, who had slipped into the room at some point, leaned over to where Miles was now layed pinned to the floor by the three strong men of my new pack, and stabbed him in the neck with a syringe, I could only guess with what was likely wolfsbane to sedate him and his wolf...

"We shall take him to the cells, and wait for the Council. He is sedated now. Wolfsbane means he won't be hurting anyone." Caleb said calmly, like he was discussing the weather, rather than having just taken down an absolute psycho. A man who had been making my life hell for far too long. This man was a hero. They all were.

"You two have some time alone. "Congratulations, though." he smiled with a wink, and I could see the big beaming smile upon Asher's face as we watched everyone leave the room, Morgan giving me a sly little wink as she did. Nothing like being indiscreet...

"So, that was unexpected..." Asher looked at me, his eyes filled with so much happiness, I could not help but smile.

"I am sorry for putting you on the spot." I looked up at him awkwardly, hoping he didn't mind what had happened.

But that smile upon his face did not falter, not even for a moment. I think this was the happiest I had seen him since I had arrived. This was most definitely a different side to Asher...

'You think he has been drinking while we were gone?' Akira asked with a giggle, making me smile again. 'Or is he just high on looooovvvee?!' she teased. Yeah, I think my wolf would be just fine...Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"You do not have to apologize for anything would have marked you that first night we spent together..." Asher exclaimed, then he looked down as he seemed to realize what he had admitted, and I giggled.

"Oh, is that right?" I stroked his hand with mine, loving the touch of hisz skin under mine. I could not wait to be better, so we could be snuggled up together again. "You kept hat to yourself didn't you?!" I teased.

He smiled. "Well, all I can say is I can't tell you how good it feels to know you are mine, beautiful." He reached over and gently stroked my face. "I swear Bailey, I could not stop thinking of you since the moment you arrived here. You turned my world upside down without even intending to. I have been terrified the whole time you were away wishing I had told you how I felt for you. Seems I was a little slow on the uptake, scared to admit what I was feeling. But, you were everything I needed and I hadn't even known it. I love you, Bailey."

My heart fluttered at his words. He had told me he loved me...

'Let me at him!' Akira purred, and I felt her push forward, my canines beginning to elongate, I think she had decided it was time to mark her man.....
