Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 212

We were sitting in the lounge of our family home back in pack after a long drive, and had been there for the past number of hours since we arrived. My Mum was almost as giddy as my sister at the fact Marc was here with us. Both my parents had been shocked, to say the least, when they discovered Morgan had found her fated mate, as she had failed to inform them of that, wanting to see their faces as we arrived. And, well, she had been right, their faces had been a picture, that was for sure! But, at the same time, they were both incredibly happy for her after the whole mess that had gone on with Miles.

Marc had passed my Dad’s near interrogation, bless him. And all with a smile upon his face. He obviously had expected it, and no doubt it would be repeated when he met Jordan tomorrow. But, that was just my family trying to protect the youngest daughter. Not that they had anything to worry about, Marc would not harm her, and he would protect her with his life.

“So, you will be returning back to his pack with your mate?” My Mum looked at Morgan with a sad expression. She and Morgan had always been close, and I think in truth she would have liked Morgan to be mated with someone in our pack so she could have been kept close. That way it wouldn't have felt like such a loss when she moved to live with her mate.

“Yeah, I will pack my things up while I am here and take them back with us.” Morgan told her, a big smile on her face, evidently missing the struggle it was causing Mum.

“Do you even have a house out there yet?” Mum suddenly demanded, taking even me by surprise. Was she actually looking for reasons Morgan shouldn't be going with her mate?! I imagine if it was me she would have been packing my things for me and pushing me out of the door!

Marc looked to Mum with a soft smile. “We didn’t when we left. I shared a place with some other warriors, but I have spoken to the Alpha, he will be sorting one for us, so by the time we return one will have been allocated for us. I would never have expected Morgan to live in a house full of warriors. We will have a lovely little home to call our own. Do not worry, I will ensure Morgan has everything she needs.” He tried his best to reassure her.

Mum nodded, her face dropping slightly as she realized her last reason for trying to keep Morgan home a little while longer was gone. “Mum, Marc is a good guy.” I told her. “Morgan will be fine with him. I know they have only just met, but in that time I have seen how happy they have made each other. And Marc comes highly recommended from the Beta of Autumn Valley Pack.”

Dad looked at me in surprise. “You actually bother talking to him? He is such a grumpy fool. Didn’t think he would be capable of holding a decent conversation.”
