Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Beauty 89

Chapter 89 – Bailey Life in the pack was hectic, though everyone was in such a joyful mood at the news that their Luna had given birth to the daughter of their Alpha. Their pack had a new pup to celebrate. I had.been so busy with things for work that I had yet to go and visit. Besides, I thought it was only right that the family got to spend some time alone together. Not that it stopped Luna Eden messaging me. She was messaging back and forth much of the day and night. It seemed, in the pack Luna, I had gained a new friend, not that I minded. A friend was never a bad thing, and after the way Miles had treated me over the years, I had lost many friends, all taking the side of the Alpha… So, this new friendship with Luna Eden was somewhat of a novelty, I had to admit. Although, she would not let go of the tense atmosphere in the room between Asher and me when I visited her the other night. So frequently asking me what was going on between us. Asking what had happened, and why Asher was trying to get away the moment I arrived. But I was not able to explain the way he reacted. Nor was I able to explain how his mind worked. You would think she would know him better than me. She had known him a lot longer, but she had not been able to shine any light upon it either. But, we were both in agreement he did appear to be avoiding me. But, I had no clue why. I had not seen him in the packhouse of a nighttime since, so I didn’t really have the opportunity to ask him. Though, I had ensured I stayed in my room after dinner. Maybe that was a little childish of me, but I did not have the energy to deal with the awkwardness either. 0.00% 11:59 I closed up my classroom after yet another fun day in school. This was one of the few positives of me being in this pack now. I loved my job and the little monsters I was teaching. They were the highlight of my day, and constantly cheered me up. But, once the day was over, it was back to my usual mundane and miserable life, all alone in my small room in the packhouse doing my best to avoid the mean and moody Beta of the pack. I was beginning to wonder if it was the right place for me or not…

I was just walking toward the main doors, when Marc walked into the school, his whole face lit up as he saw me, and I instantly felt my mood brighten. At least someone was pleased to see me. “Now aren’t you a sight for sore eyes, Princess.” He winked at me. “Marc, stop flirting with my staff!” Alli yelled from the staffroom, and I felt my cheeks heat up, as I noticed Marc’s cheek tinting red slightly too, telling me he was likely as embarrassed as I felt. I don’t think he meant it in a flirting way, that seemed to be the way he spoke with me… He chuckled. “Can’t even say hi.” He shrugged. “Come to help her, and she accuses me of flirting. Maybe I should just go home, she would soon complain then. When she had to do the repairs on her own.” I smiled at his cheekiness. “Hi.” “Hi to you too. See, you look so much better when you smile, you know? Anyway, you been avoiding me at dinner time?” he asked, leaning against the wall, his eyebrows raised, and a hand upon one hip, like he was teasing “No, I have been busy with things for work. Doing class preparations is all, so get to dinner later.” I explained. “Why 234 Chapter 89 Badley would I avoid you?” He looked down, like he was suddenly uncomfortable, or maybe he doubted himself. I was struggling to read him… “Don’t know, maybe after the stuff Beta Asher said.” I frowned, a little confused. Did he really think I would avoid him? And would it actually bother him if I did? “Didn’t I eat with you after that?” He shrugged, still continuing to avoid my gaze. Hmm, definitely a little odd… “Besides, I think the Beta is avoiding me now, so what he thinks is likely irrelevant.” I said without thinking, in an attempt to reassure him I had not been avoiding him. But I noticed Marc looking at me, a look of concern upon his face. “He got nasty with you?” “He isn’t like that, is he?” I questioned, not believing for a moment Asher would get nasty with those

in his own pack. I knew he had a darkness that seemed to overtake him when he was struggling, but I still do not believe him capable of being nasty or hurting his own pack members. Marc raised his brows and shrugged. “Did he get nasty with you, Bailey? Angry at all?” I shook my head. “No. Just snapped. Though that could have been my own fault, I likely deserved it. He seemed angry then, and is avoiding me now.” “Would you not say anything if I told you something, Bailey?” he looked at me, suddenly looking so far from the confident guy he 47241 11.59 Chapter 89-Bailey 1 usually appeared to be. “Right come on Marc, I have got things I need you to do.” Alli quickly disturbed our conversation, almost like she had been listening in to the conversation and didn’t want Marc to tell me whatever he was about to… Marc looked toward me with a sad smile, and a little shrug. “Guess I will catch you around then, Princess. Have a good night.” “Okay, I will see you both later.” I said, realizing I was going to have to accept I was not likely to get the answers I was hoping for… I quickly walked from the school, my mind a whirling mess as to what he had been about to tell me. I couldn’t help but wonder if it was to do with Asher, seeing as we had been talking about him. I could only assume Marc would know him with the fact his sister had been Asher’s fated mate. And, he had moved to Asher’s pack… The last few days, on the odd occasion I had seen Asher around in pack, he had looked down and kept walking quickly. Avoiding my gaze as much as he possibly could. It could not be clearer to me, he did not want to be around me. I know I had pushed him away when he had tried to be there for me, but I don’t think it deserved this sort of treatment now. We had been beginning to get along. I had even begun to wonder if we could be friends. But, evidently, there was no hope of that. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

With Luna Eden so busy now with her new baby, Asher avoiding me at every turn, and me barely hearing from anybody in my own pack lately, I was beginning to feel increasingly isolated here, and, it was starting to bring me and Akira down. Making 66.90% 1288 Voucher me wonder if taking this job had been the right thing after all. I walked through the packhouse doors, just as Asher was walking out, nearly knocking into him, causing him to step onto my toe. I flinched in pain, as he quickly stepped off. He looked at me, momentarily a look of concern crossed his face, before it was replaced with a dark scowl. “Do you just walk around in a f**g daydream?” He all but snarled. “Watch where you are. going and that sort of thing likely wouldn’t happen.” He snapped, storming out of the door, leaving me stood watching his intimidating figure rush away, with tears in my eyes. I don’t know what was happening with him, but I was liking him and this pack less and less now…
