Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 218

Well, the wedding had gone ahead, and amazingly, the bride had not seen sense and ran away. There was no denying she was beautiful. I just hoped now, with her by his side, Miles could leave me alone. His strange mindlinks before the ceremony had unsettled me, as had his frequent gazes now the wedding celebrations were underway. This was not the same Miles I had left, but I still did not trust him, I knew that much. I had never thought him possible of change, and I could not see that altering.

“Is it time to go yet?” Morgan asked playfully from my side, and I grinned at her.

“There was me thinking you would be wanting to go and show that mate of yours off.” I said to her.

“I don’t think anybody is going to care I found my mate when Alpha Dickhead just got married.” She said with a shrug. “And besides, I am bored. I want to go home and get settled into this new life with Marc.”

I found a smile spreading onto my face. Who would have thought my little sister would be wanting a little domesticated life? Having a mate was certainly good for her. “I don’t think we will be expected to stay too much longer.” I said to her, hoping that was true. Dad had told me we would be expected to stay for some of the celebrations, but he believed it would be understandable if we left early given our drive home. And I definitely planned to drive home before they decided to keep me locked up here in preparation for this apparent vacancy that was coming up!

“Aww, you girls are visiting your home pack and you both want to escape?” Marc teased with a wink. “We will head off as soon as we are able, I promise.”

He offered Morgan his hand, suggesting a dance. Now many of the pack members were on the dance floor that had been set up on one of the many garden areas outside the packhouse. Morgan grinned at me. “I am off to boogie!”

I saw my Dad sitting down close by and wanted to talk to him about Asher. About the potential of staying in their pack officially. I had already messaged Eden while in bed last night, and she was giddy at the potential of me becoming an official pack member in her pack. And that was without me even mentioning the possibility of being with Asher. I smiled at my Dad as I joined him. He looked as bored as me. He was not really one for parties, especially not when they were for someone he didn’t particularly like…

“Hey Bai.” He smiled. “You enjoying being home?”

I looked at my feet awkwardly. “Not particularly.” I admitted, and he chuckled.

“Can’t say I am surprised. Morgan did say something along those lines. So, you got something to tell me about you and that grumpy bastard in Autumn Valley then?” he asked me with a grin and I looked at him in shock. Had my sister been telling tales on me?!
