Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0270

"You even there?" the fool in front of me asked, stepping closer to me, obviously having been waiting for an answer while I communicated with my wolf.

"Yes. I am here." I scowled. "Were you not taught to respect others when you were growing up?"

"Why would I need to when I am of Alpha blood and the Alpha heir?" he laughed.

I rolled my eyes at his response. Seems everything I had heard of him was true. "Being of Alpha blood and being the heir means nothing. Respect is earned. And from what I have already seen of you, if you go around acting like that, you will have nobody respecting you. Your pack would fall easily if you were to become Alpha. Your father would be a fool to let you take his title. I hope for his sake he has another son." I said coldly, knowing that would be a hit to the stupid little shit's ego.

He growled deeply as he moved forward again, hair beginning to protrude from his arms, telling me he was close to shifting.

"Oh, do you really want to do that here?” I questioned, pushing the full force of my aura forward, making him step back slightly. I think he saw I was stronger than him now. "Your pack would not question why you were killed when you went to attack an Alpha in his own pack, little boy."

His eyes flickered darker, likely his wolf, but he remained where he was, simply glowering at me, as I continued. "So, if you want to go and see this so-called mate of yours, I suggest you wind your neck in. Fucking behave yourself. You are in my pack now and I will not tolerate any shit. Nor will I think twice about killing you. I doubt you'd be missed. I know who you are saying is your mate. She was brought in earlier. Attacked by rogues. She also works for us. Rejected by you, was she not?" I turned to him as I motioned for him to follow me to my car. I wanted him to know I knew of the circumstances surrounding their matebond.

He was still scowling as he shook his head. "She is my fated mate."

"Not when you rejected her." I climbed into the car and he followed suit.

"I changed my mind. Besides, even if I hadn't, I need her close. Your fated mate brings you strength. To be the strongest Alpha I can be, I need her there. To give me the strength and power that will produce the most powerful Alpha my pack has ever had." He said as I drove away. Surprised he was admitting all this to me, I was wondering if he hoped it meant I would take pity on him. Yet, his words echoed around my mind, not making any sense, causing me to laugh.

"She will bring you strength?" I asked, wondering if this fool had listened to any of the lessons you were given as a young wolf. He was evidently clueless. He needed sense not strength.

"Yes. Especially as an Alpha. Even

when I didn't want her as a mate, I needed her in the pack. Why do you think I didn't want her working away? She was always going to stay in our pack. I planned to bring her home e the moment I became Alpha. The strength her presence gives me because of the matebond, with us being fated mates would be what made me the strongest Alpha our pack had seen. Bailey is strong. She is of Beta blood. Plus, she is intelligent. So she was always going to be giving me extra strength.

Imagine the two of us together?"

Despite the fact I was driving, I looked across at the fool incredulously. He sounded like he believed every word he just said. I don't think he was

joking. I shook my head in disbelief. "Erm, did you do well in school?" I asked him, and instantly his face twisted into a frown.

"What has that got to do with anything?" He shrugged. "I did okay, got others to help me."

I held back a smirk. Explained a lot.

"Well, I hate to disappoint you,

perhaps you should have paid more e attention because you seemed to have missed quite a lot. Bailey won't give you any strength. When you rejected her, you broke that fated bond. You broke the mate bond, do you not realize that?!"

"What do you mean?" he snarled.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

"Meaning there was nothing there anymore. Her presence would most certainly not bring you strength. And making her your mate now would be no different to being chosen mates. Plus, she would have to want it otherwise it would be considered forcibly marking her. I think you have been seriously misunderstanding things. Bailey was never going to make you a stronger Alpha." I enjoyed every word I told him,

especially as his face fell.

"That can't be right." He growled angrily.

“Well it is.” I told him with glee, as we pulled up outside the hospital. But he wasted no time as he was quickly storming out of the car in a desperate

bid to go and find Bailey. I quickly needed to mindlink Asher to let him know so that he didn't just storm into her room...
