Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 149

I think he liked the idea of grandchildren. He’d be disappointed with me then. As I would be in no rush…

“No doubt.” I said with a hint of sarcasm.

My Dad looked at me with a dark glare. “Though it is you that needs to be having pups if you are given the title, you realize that, right?”

“I don’t need lessons in how a pack is run, Dad, or what is expected of me. I know what being an Alpha entails. I know what is expected of me. I am willing to do it all. That’s why I am here, isn’t it?” I raised my eyebrows at him, daring him to challenge me on that. He had to know I didn’t want this.

“You may be surprised, son, but you may actually enjoy this. A little quality time together. Away from the pressures of the pack, enjoying the beauties of the country, being hosted by many of the packs. And who knows, maybe you will be pleasantly surprised. You may find a she-wolf that catches your eye and has some serious potential.” He said with another smile.

This guy is fucking deluded, I am sure of it. Definitely time he was handing his role of Alpha over, because a deluded Alpha is a dangerous Alpha. He didn’t see things that were right in front of him. Missing things meant his pack was in danger. He needed to wake up to reality.

And, did he truly think I wanted to spend quality time with him? Jeez, I think I would rather sit and watch paint dry. I would likely have more fun doing that…

“I just want to get it over with Dad.” I tell him, looking out of the window as he continues to drive.

“Well, in the first pack you are meeting the Beta’s daughter, Adelyn. Her mate rejected her. So there is no complication of a fated mate.” he tells me, and I rolled my eyes. Fucking marvellous. Some fucking reject that no fucker wanted… basically, I was being offered another version of Bailey!

Bailey... I wondered how she was doing? Her number had been sitting in my phone since Morgan had given it to me last night. I had yet to message her, as last night when I returned home I had needed to pack ready for our trip. But, now she was on my mind again. Her new pack had declined our request for a visit, apparently. Making me wonder if they knew of the situation between Bailey and me. Or if they simply disagreed on arranged marriages. But, one way or another, Bailey likely influenced their decision.
