Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 148

I am awoken early by my father banging off my door. Ordering me to get up and get dressed. I have little choice. This is my life now for the next few weeks at least. I must go touring the country, go and meet countless she-wolves I had no interest in. I would rather be here, in pack, setting things up for when I take over.

I know Ellis is due back any day now, and his mate is due home from her visit back home. She had decided to return home whilst he was away, already missing her family, and without her mate here to distract her she had apparently felt even more homesick. And they wanted her to be a Luna?! What a fucking joke… she may be a pretty little thing, but she clearly didn’t have the strength needed to be a Luna. She was weak as fuck if she was already homesick for her family and former pack after a few days here. Truly pathetic. Ellis had his work cut out with that for a mate. The only thing going for her was her looks, it seemed.

But, I would rather be in the pack when Ellis comes home. News had traveled through that he was set to pass the Alpha training course. He would be full of himself, no doubt. Feeling he was ready to take on the world. Well, I wanted to make sure he knew that while he could pass a pathetic course, he was no competition for me. And by no means did it mean he was ready to make him an Alpha of our pack. I was still leagues above him. I desperately wished I could be here, put him in his place, but I would have to make do with some calls. He would realize his place soon enough…

Soon enough, we were in the car en-route to the first pack, which was only a little over an hour away. I truly had no energy for this. And my fucking Dad wouldn’t even let me have a coffee or grab breakfast because I had apparently taken too long in getting ready and kept him waiting. Such an impatient bastard. He was whittering on about “having a tight schedule we must adhere to” or some shit like that. He would soon get bored with telling me what to do, I am sure of that. I had my own plans…

“Why did you dismiss Jordan?” My Dad asked. Jordan had been expected to come along with us to give his opinion on mate choices. He knew me better than most, having been my best friend since childhood, and he was going to be my Beta. But, of late, he had been distant. I was unsure if that was because he had discovered the truth about how I had treated his sister, or if it was because he was too lost in the lust of having met his fated mate. I wasn’t sure.

I am sure the novelty of his mate’s pussy would wear off soon enough. Especially if she was soon to be carrying their pup. He would then realize my single life was definitely a better option. Always had been. But, at the moment, he was still running around after Gia like she was fucking royalty. Yes, she was hot. Yes, she was likely worth the effort when he got her to the bedroom, but even so, it should be her running around after him. Jordan had his priorities seriously warped. Setting a precedent for a fucked up life with her now, and all because he was addicted to her.

“He would miss his mate. They are trying for a pup, I believe, so it is not the right time for him to be away.” I lied, and I saw my father nodding, but in truth, listening to Jordan constantly go on about his mate became tiresome very quickly. And, fulfilling my plan would be easier if it was just me and my father here.

“I didn’t realize they were trying for a pup so soon. No doubt it will be Ellis trying too soon enough.” My Dad said with an affectionate smile.
