Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Bailey

+5 Pearls

I got myself ready to leave the house, dressed smartly in a pair of high-waisted, wide-legged, black trousers. With a simple white tank top. My long dark hair I chose to tame, so the curls were manageable, and I clipped the sides back from my face. I slipped on a pair of simple black heels to finish my outfit, along with simple but stylish make-up too. I needed to make a good impression. I needed a job. There had still been no responses despite all the applications I had

sent out.

“You ready to go Bai?” My Dad called up the stairs, and I smiled. He was not wasting the opportunity to go and see his friend, former Alpha Isaak, again. After we had called the pack and requested an appointment to discuss the role of teacher in the pack, my Dad had messaged Alpha Isaak to let him know, and instantly he was invited to come along too. Personally, I think it was just my Dad’s way of coming along to keep an eye on me. Ever the protective father..

I have since learned the two of them had played football together in the inter-pack football squads many moons ago. Back when my Dad considered himself quite the footballer. Back when he could actually run around without feeling like he would collapse and have a heart attack. No, I shouldn’t be mean, my Dad was still in quite good shape for a guy his age. That came with being a Beta of the pack, I guess. He had no choice but to keep training and had to stay at peak fitness.

I picked up my bag from my bed with my qualifications as well as examples of some of my teaching styles I preferred. “Coming!” I called, slipping out of my bedroom. Only to be greeted by my older brother leaning on the doorframe of his bedroom door, with a dirty look upon his face. “I’d say good luck, but…” he paused. “Nope, I don’t want to. You will f**k it up, like you do everything else.” He says with a nasty laugh.

I rolled my eyes at him, sticking my middle finger up at him, before turning my back on him. before walking down the stairs to meet my Dad. “Come on Princess, let us get you to this meeting.” He smiles, as we move toward the door, and for once I am actually glad to spend time with my Dad, because he doesn’t seem to be on my case.

‘Good luck Bailey. I suddenly received a mindlink from Harley. I felt a warm feeling rush. through me. I was touched that he had even remembered my interview. The two of us had been for ice creams as planned the other afternoon, and had found plenty to laugh about as we caught up. He seemed quite an easy-going guy, and really friendly. He seemed quite interested in the fact I had done my degree and asked lots of questions about it.

We had seen each other a couple of times since, casually around pack. And chatted via text and call too. He had been really enthusiastic for me when I told him of my potential job interview, knowing how desperate I was to find work. Though I don’t know if he realized how far away this pack was…
