Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 174

The pack was a buzz with the news I was to be taking a chosen mate. By now it had spread that Bailey and I had been fated mates, but our parents had decided to go for the announcement that we had come to a mutual decision we were not suitably matched. Haha. Not suitably matched? That was a fucking understatement.

That bitch was still not home either. Nor was she responding to my messages or answering my calls. But, right now, my focus was on Kaia. Everything needed to be focused on making her my mate. I was beyond surprised when she had agreed to it. The look upon her face when she was told the reason we were there was one of confusion, and a small part of me feared disgust. But, as a mixture of emotions passed across her face, she took us all by surprise when she agreed to the arrangement that her father had all but previously agreed to, before giving us her demands.

It seemed my girl was fiery. But, I knew that. I had seen that when I had seen her in treatment. She was a girl who knew what she wanted, and I liked that. Yes, she had demanded a marriage, not something all Alphas formally do, and not something I had ever envisioned for myself, but if it meant a big celebration in my name, then hell yeah I was up for that. Plus it meant I got to rub it in Bailey’s face that I had taken a chosen mate.

It proved to her once again that she was not good enough for me, and that Kaia was sheer perfection. I had found the girl of my dreams, and I was making her mine. We were going to celebrate in style, and I planned to ensure that bitch was there to watch every moment of it. Endure every moment of seeing my happiness. And once she was back in the pack, she would not be allowed to leave.

“Son, Kaia asked for the flowers to be changed again.” My Dad grumbled as he looked at a sheet of paper I had put on his desk, an email I had printed for him from my soon-to-be mate. He and Mum were dealing with all that shit. I was not one for dealing with arranging events. That was most certainly the role of a Luna, so I had handed all the responsibilities to my parents. I would simply be turning up on the day, marrying the girl, and partying. Showing the world, I was the boss.

Proving to the pack, I now had my mate, and I would soon be their Alpha. Ellis may have already had his mate, and now have their perfect little pup on the way to complete their perfect little family, but I was the firstborn, and always would be. I had done all that had been asked of me, and now my Dad and I were getting on better than ever. I would be Alpha, of that there had to be no doubt.

“I know, but we want to make her happy Dad. It is a special day for her, right?” I said with a shrug. I knew a wedding was a huge thing for girls. So, all these changes she kept making I dismissed the irritation they brought and simply agreed to it. Keeping her happy meant the sooner she would be mine.

I saw my Dad roll his eyes. “This is the fourth, no make that fifth fucking time Miles. And oddly enough, it is meant to be a special day for you too, yet right now you don’t seem to give a shit.” He snarled.

I took a deep breath, calming my wolf rippling beneath my skin, my wolf was becoming harder to control when pushed, and the patronizing way in which my Dad consistently spoke to me was one of his triggers. But, I knew I had to push him back… I had to keep him under control, or I would lose the footing I had already gained. I would get to where I wanted to be, and then I would make him suffer. Then he would feel the wrath of both me and my wolf.

“I do give a shit. Just all the details are the things Kaia wished to sort. I am fine with that. I don’t even know half the stuff we need.” I told him, moving toward the office door. I had barely paid any attention to the wedding plans. In truth, I was focused more on the wedding night…
