Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

26

Chapter 26 Miles

My mind had been distracted all of the day. After seeing Bailey, I had gone to the gym, and took my anger out on the punch bags. But, it had not done what I had needed, not like it usually did. My wolf, Jet, enraged at the sense of distrust from one of his own pack needed to be allowed out. He needed the freedom of space and time to run. He enjoyed the thrill of hunting and taking his anger out on some innocent small prey. Making them suffer because of his wrath.

And today was worse than normal. This warrior boy had truly gotten under both of our skin. I was the next leader. Yet that fool was questioning me and my words. He was questioning the things I was saying. Bailey was a nobody. She had always been, yet some small-time warrior was taking her word over the words of his next Alpha? The moment I had left the gym I had headed for the treeline, and stripped myself of my clothes. Placing them into some broken bark, ready to retrieve them when my anger had subsided enough. Though I doubted small prey would be enough today. The thing I wanted to destroy most was the face of that pretty boy warrior…

But, I knew that I had to control that violent streak within me. As the upcoming Alpha, I could not be seen to be hurting my own pack members; or at least not without a decent reason. I may just have to find myself conveniently paired with him in the next pack training session. Warrior or not, he and his wolf would stand no chance against me and my Alpha Wolf. And, I would enjoy every second of destroying the irritating little f**ker; and thankfully, nobody would question it. Perfect!

The resentment swelled through every pore of my body and every part of my wolf’s being too, as my bones snapped and twisted. Cracking and dislocating through the now swift and smooth shifting process of turning into my aggressive wolf form. And oh, today was he aggressive! The connection we shared was boiling with rage. It was bad enough that Harley thought he could answer me back,

but to think he could go to my father, bring my whole reign into question, was something else entirely. He would live to regret that threat. I would make sure of it.

Jet’s feet pounded the floor of the forest at a speed so swift, as the breeze caught his gray fur while he dodged between trees and undergrowth. His eyes darted back and forth, searching for the sight of any prey he could punish. Anything to take his anger out on.

I allowed myself to fall back within his mind to give him the freedom he was craving to run and hunt. I sadly would find no freedom from the many thoughts weighing down my mind. Bailey had been a burden upon my life and mind since the moment I had realized what she was to me. I have since had to witness my own younger brother and now my best friend, meet their fated. mates and see their joy. Both blessed with fated mates worthy of the men they were. Yet I was given some pathetic excuse of a she-wolf.

Seeing both Ellis and now Jordan with their mates only made me hate Bailey more. I had been. brought up as the upcoming Alpha. Always given the things I wanted in life. That was how my parents had been. Some would call that spoiled, but to my parents, it was just preparation for what would happen when I became Alpha. As Alpha, I would have all the things I wanted. I would be at the top of the pack and nobody would argue with me. I would be denied nothing. So, I was used to having everything I wanted, and I wanted the most beautiful of mates. One to show off. One to be proud of and one that my friends would look at and be jealous of.

So when the time came Lexnected the moon goddess to deliver Lexnected a perfect fated mate

sent me that f**k-up. Bailey the f**king-know-it-all. Well, she didn’t know that day that she would have the hardest kick to the gut when she was told I was her mate and that I would never want her, did she? Ha, no. She clearly isn’t all that smart. Her face was a f**king picture that day. And I made her wait too. Wait for the rejection. Knowing it was coming, but never sure when. Always knowing she was never good enough. And, I certainly made sure she suffered….

‘When the f**kwere you going to tell me?’ I suddenly got a mindlink from Jordan, completely taking me by surprise. Was he not meant to be heading to his mates’ pack for a few days? I am sure we had given him permission to take time away.

“What are you talking about bro?’ I responded, wondering if he mindlinked the wrong person.

‘You. Rejecting my sister. His words are cold and hold some venom, even through the link, but regardless of that, I want to know how the hell my best friend suddenly seems to know about this now too. Had that f**king warrior gone mouthing off?

“What?’ I question, hoping to be able to avoid the subject. ‘Where did you hear that?’

‘Do not bull sh it me, Miles. Bailey told me everything you sick f**k. You hurt her. Not to mention you broke pack rules. He snarls at me through the link, only making me even more angry, and I can hear Jet snarling too, though I think that may be at the small rabbit he is now pouncing on…

So, it was Bailey shooting her mouth off again? Seemed the little b*tch had decided that this was no longer our secret? Well, she would live to regret that decision. I would ensure of that. I would not have this put at my feet. Oh no. This would all be her fault.

Since when do you care if your sister is hurt?’ I asked him, with a nasty laugh. Jordan had always. been one of the first to pick on his sister alongside me. Had always had fun teasing her. Though she made it easy being such a nerd.

“There are limits, Miles. And you know it. He snaps, and I begin to question if my friend is going to be as trustworthy as I thought he was.

‘You want to watch who you are talking to like that, Jordan. You need to remember, breaking the rules or not, without me as Alpha, you would lose your place as Beta. So, before you go running to Daddy, or go running to my Dad, think of the consequences for you too. Is protecting Bailey really worth losing everything you have trained for? She is not worth that. She is worthless.’ I snarled, not liking to threaten my friend, but knowing I had no other option, he needed bringing into line.

Are you threatening me?’ he demanded.

‘Were you not going to your mates’ pack?’ I asked, ignoring his question. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

‘I am heading out of pack now, but could not leave without confronting you. Not after this.

‘Well, I suggest you run along, take some time with your mate, and take some time to think if your sister is really worth losing everything over. Because without me as Alpha, you will not be a Beta. So that means a nobody in the pack, Jordan. Think carefully. And with that I cut the link, blocking him from contacting me further. If he contacts my father, then I will make him nav.

Chapter 26 Miles:

time he has had to run. ‘Time up for today. I slowed him as he slows his pace slightly.

I sense his disappointment through our bond, but he does as he is told and turns back toward where we began, so I can gather my clothes. Jordan not happy. He tells me.

my wolf,

‘I know. He will see sense. He wants his title more than he cares for her. I reassured knowing my friend. He has worked hard to prepare to gain the title of Beta that his father currently holds. Hell, he was still trying to prove to his Dad he was worthy of the title. He would not be willing to give that up without a fight. Especially not for something as pathetic as Bailey.

Jet suddenly slowed, sticking his nose in the air, like he smelt something good. Then he let out a small growl. Deep but angry. “Warrior boy… he was soon off running toward the edge of the tree line…
