Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 60 Bailey

Chapter 60 – Bailey I strolled through the pack enjoying the late afternoon sunshine, wasting the last of my days before my start at school. I could not wait now. I was so excited about starting my new role. I was getting good at finding my way around the pack now too, with Akira’s assistance, albeit, but I was getting there slowly. I had decided to escape my room for a few hours and walk around the whole pack, while most people were likely enjoying a lazy Sunday with their families. My mind had been on home the last few days, but I had barely heard from home. When I did reach out, my Dad just kept telling me things were in hand and not to worry about anything. Which, I cannot lie, kind of made me worry all the more. This made me feel like he was likely hiding things from me. Were things happening, and he didn’t want me to know? I had blocked Miles’ s mobile number, so even if he wanted to get hold of me there would be no possibility, or at least not from his own phone. Sunday back home was definitely a family day. A day for a big meal together. Or possibly a BBQ with friends and family. And here I had neither. The closest I had to a friend was Luna Eden, and she was still in the hospital. The only other person I had spoken to was the Beta. I had a few funny looks in the dining hall from pack members, likely wondering who the strange girl was, but nobody actually spoke to me, and I had yet to find the courage to speak to them… I could not lie, I was feeling lonely. And sitting alone in my room only enhanced that feeling. It was not nice. I thought I felt lonely at home, despite being surrounded by family, but this was た 09:4100 Chapter 60 Bailey < 288 iVouchers equally as bad, because here nobody knew I was here. And I don’t think anyone cared. But, I was

determined not to feel sorry for myself and had been determined to go out and keep myself busy. Which was how I found myself out and wandering the whole of the pack. Needing to keep myself moving. Exploring every inch of the pack. Get to know my home. So, while I may not know the people here, I could still say I knew the pack… I had become a little braver and had even decided to wander through the forests too. Despite the persistent pushing from Akira for her to shift and go for a run, I pushed her back, not wanting her to take over. I wanted to explore the pack myself. Allow myself to get to know where I would be living now. Though it now meant Akira was in a mood and had retreated to the nether reaches of my mind to sulk. Leaving me alone to enjoy my walk in total silence. The forests were beautiful, and as well taken care of as the pack was. Alpha Caleb evidently took great care of his pack, and that to me showed what a great Alpha he was. As I wandered through the shade of the trees, enjoying the sight of the smaller animals I saw, and the slight warmth of the sun breaking through the branches above me, I heard footsteps behind me and my heart began to race. ‘Akira?’ I begged, desperately needing my wolf ready to defend me in case this was a loose rogue… someone here that should not be. I didn’t even know my way back to pack in a hurry if I needed to… nor did anyone know I was here… s**t… I didn’t think this through… +increased my speed as I moved back in what I thought was the direction of the pack, desperately in need of getting away from whoever else could be in the forest. Why did I think it a good idea to come for a walk here? Bravery was not brave after all, even less so when my b**dy wolf had gone awol after being in Chapter 60 Bailey a mood with me… My palms were becoming sweaty as I moved faster, almost to a run now, just as my foot got caught in a root in the undergrowth, and I tripped, going flying, the floor coming to meet my face far too quickly, before I could even stop myself. And as I fell, I heard the footsteps coming even closer. “Who is there?” a deep male voice demanded, angrily. My head felt fuzzy, while my heart raced. Surely a rogue wouldn’ t demand you identify yourself,Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

would they? Either way, my mouth did not seem capable of working right now. I was struggling to breathe, let alone speak, as I was so panicked. Suddenly, two feet, heavily clad in big boots were in front of me… “Who are you?” the voice demanded once more, as my eyes rose up from the heavy military boots the man had on his feet all the way up his strong body, to his big blue eyes. His sandy blond hair slicked back off his face into a small bun, despite his hair also being s**d undercut. The strong, chiseled features looking down at me with curiosity, a small smile playing upon his lip. “Are you going to answer me?” “I…erm…” I stuttered, still struggling with my words. I would say going from how he was dressed he could be a guard… maybe a warrior… definitely not a rogue. Suddenly, a hand was placed in front of me, as if to offer me assistance in getting up. “Come on, let’s get you up.” took his hand, surprised by the strong grip of his hand, as he helped me up. I felt his eyes upon me as I now stood in front of him, in my navy yoga pants and matching cropped top, and Chapter 60- Bailey trainers. My long dark hair pulled back into a ponytail. I likely looked hot and sweaty and a total mess. Now with added features of twigs and leaves for added effect… not a look any woman would want when encountering a man, but I did not expect to be seeing anyone whilst I was out walking. “So, for the third time. Who are you?” he smiled, he didn’t seem quite so intimidating when he smiled like that. His big blue eyes almost t**d. “And then I may even move onto the question of why you are up here, if you can manage that.” I scowled at him, not appreciating his patronism. “I am not **d.” “Did I say you were?” he smiled again. “Though in my defense, all I have seen of you so far is that you fall over your own feet and until this point, lacked the ability to talk, so it didn’t look great.” I pouted in annoyance. He was a cheeky f***ker this one, and I don’t even know who he was! “Are you going to give me an answer?” he asked again.

“I am the new teacher, I was going for a walk around pack, and wasn’t aware I wasn’t allowed to! “Didn’t say you weren’t allowed to, did I? No need to get your panties in a twist over me sweetheart.” He winked, with a deep chuckle, making me look at him with a raise of my eyebrows. This guy seemed awfully confident. “Oh, believe me, you had no effect whatsoever on my panties.” I said c**ly, only making him chuckle more. Chapter 60 Bailey “Hmmm, there may be time for that yet.” He winked again. “Now, do you know your way back, that is the question?” “Erm…” I faltered, desperately not wanting to admit I likely wasn’ t sure of my way back, not with Akira gone awol, off in her little temper tantrum somewhere. But knowing if I didn’t admit it, I could be wandering around the forest and even pack for some time yet… The guy next to me grinned. “I will take that as a no. Come on, my shift is almost done. I will show you how to get back. Always nice to help a damsel in distress.” I give him a dark glare, but again he only chuckles. This guy seems to find everything funny. “Jeez, do you not have a sense of humor hidden in them curves there?” he questions as his eyes drift over my body, making me shiver… “For me to use my sense of humor, first would you not have to be funny?” I said with a smirk, and he smiled. “Ooooh b**hy.” He wiggled his brows at me. “You might want to remember that without me, you will be lost.” I sighed, I honestly don’t know which would be worse right now…
