Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 145

I walked through the pack, having left my friends, heading home ready to relax and settle down for the night, when I was shocked to feel my phone vibrating in my back pocket. Not many people actually called me. Everybody used the mindlink in the pack, and as of yet, I didn’t particularly know anybody outside of the pack. Unless, of course, you count Bailey, but me and her didn’t exactly part on the best of terms after she and I argued…

I slipped the phone from my pocket, and was shocked to see Miles was calling. I had heard he was back. But, I had done my best so far to avoid him. The things I had heard of him had me torn. That did not sound like the guy I had been getting close to. The guy who had promised the world. He had told me stories of me being his Luna. Running the pack by his side. I was ready to give up everything to him. Never did I realize he had been fated for my older sister. Though his cold words before he left hurt me too...

Eww. The thought still repulsed me. Yet I clicked to accept his call, unable to resist. I had missed the deep lull in his voice. And the moment I saw his face appear upon my screen I felt my heart flutter. “Morgan? I am so glad to hear your voice.” He said, his voice as deep and husky as ever. My heart raced at the sound of it. He was glad to hear my voice? Did that mean he had missed me while he was away? My Dad had told me he had told them he wanted nothing more to do with me… well, he had told me the same…

I felt like he had broken my heart. Yet, right now, he was back. He was calling me. Maybe he was saying that to protect me? Yeah, maybe that was what it was, he didn't know how long he would be away or what his treatment would be. “I need to see you darling.” His deep voice oozed charm at me through the phone and I felt like my legs wanted to give way.

He wanted to see me? He had missed me then, almost as much as I had missed him then? I gazed at his image upon my phone. He was so handsome… why could he not have been fated for me instead of Bailey? She never deserved him…

“Morgan? Darling, you going to say anything or just gaze at me all night?” Miles chuckled at me down the phone. “I am outside right now, so it isn’t like I can give you anything to be gazing at…” he winked at me and I felt myself blushing at the thought of some of the videocam session we had had before things were called off.

“Sorry, you took me by surprise calling Miles. I thought you didn’t want anything to do with me?” I explained.

“Aww, did you really think I could stay away?” he teased, slowly running his tongue across his lips and I felt my heart pounding at the sight of him.

“You said you would.”
