Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 221

The angry look upon Kaia’s face only confuses me. Had she not wanted me to defend her from my brother? The way he was looking at her was weird, and the way she had nudged me made me realize it was making her feel uncomfortable. So, I put him in his place, and I fucking enjoyed every second of it. It was him looking uncomfortable then, but the look upon Kaia’s face made no fucking sense. I swear with some women there is no pleasing them, and this one was proving more and difficult by the fucking day…

She rushed off to the toilet soon after, so I didn’t get a chance to confront her, but as the time was ticking I began to wonder where she was, and I went to find my wife. She shouldn’t be taking so long, and I wanted her back by my side. It was only as I followed her strong scent that I heard voices…

“You were watching me?” I heard Kaia’s voice, it was undeniably hers, and while I was desperate to go to her, something made me hold back, wanting to know who it was she was talking to. I edged closer along the wall of the corridor, listening carefully…

“Of course I was. Not taken my eyes off you. Wasn’t that the plan?” I heard a deep male voice now, and it caused me to clench my fists tightly. Why the fuck was he watching my wife? At her fucking wedding too? “Now, again, are you okay?”

I could hear my heart pounding within my ears. It was racing so hard and fast, and my wolf was becoming unsettled, which was never a good sign. But I needed to know more. Needed to know what the hell was going on between these two. So, I moved closer, and lingered still, desperate to hear more, desperate to see what they were going to say to one another. “I think I made a mistake.” I heard Kaia mumble, and my heart now felt like it stopped. She thought she had made a fucking mistake? Did she mean in marrying me? After all we had given her and done for her? No… My breathing rate only increased as my palms became sweaty. This could not be right. I felt like I was frozen in time as I lean against the wall listening now. This girl had seemed like my dream girl... stunning... a body blessed by the gods... a fiery character to match my own... and she didn't fear me like everyone else. But she now believed marrying me was a mistake?

“I think you might be right. He doesn’t know you like I do, Kai, you know that, right? Yeah, things get complicated here and there. We mess up, but we always end up back together, right?” the guy's voice was full of lust, and as I moved my head around the corner of the corridor in which they were, I saw him rest his hand upon Kaia’s hip, pulling her closer to him. Who the fuck was he? And why did he think it was okay to touch my mate so intimately? Though Kaia did not seem to be putting up much of a fight…

Kaia was looking up at him, almost adoringly. In a way, I don’t think I have ever had her look at me. I felt fury racing through me as I watched the two of them. This was my wife. The woman who had agreed to marry me. Yet the familiarity between the two of them bothered me… “But, you hurt me.” She said softly as her eyes rested upon him.

“I messed up, Kai, that was all. But you can’t deny we are good together. Last night was amazing, right?” the fucker said. So, they had been together last night? The night before our wedding? She had lied to me when she told me she was meeting her friends. She was meeting another fucking guy? My body trembled in anger… but my heart clenched in pain too. I thought this woman could be a fresh start for me. I thought she could be the one for me. She did things to me, I couldn’t explain, yet here she was with another guy behind my back, before we had even married?!
