Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 126

Caleb had sat himself down on the sofa in my office, and now he looked at me with curiosity. “Oh, really? Am I missing something? Was there a little more than welcoming the new girl that went on Asher?”

I felt anger rushing over me. How fucking dare he imply I tried it on with the poor girl. I did not think of her in that way, and I knew for definite she would not be looking at me in that way either. We were far from being compatible. “Don’t be so fucking ridiculous.” I snapped. “She had been upset when I passed her in the corridor, but she wouldn’t elaborate as to why.” I lied.

Caleb nodded, looking at me with suspicious eyes. “Is that right?”

Great, now he thinks I have a thing for the new teacher. Just what I need. Especially if Eden gets a hold of that piece of information, she will be doing all she can to match-make. And that is just not going to happen. My mate had been Isla. I was destined to be with her, and fate had chosen her for me. After her, I was doomed to be alone. Live a lonely life on my own.

“Yes, that is right. I do not like seeing someone upset, especially if it could bring trouble to our pack, Caleb. But, I assume you looked into her past appropriately, did you? Her family history, mate etc?” I demanded, hoping this way Caleb may look into things for me.

“Erm… I don’t know, I left it all with Eden. She seemed pretty determined to have Bailey working here.” Caleb said with a shrug, like he wasn't even concerned, only irritating me considering the things I now knew.
