Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 224

“Daddy, help!” I screamed. “They’re going to kill each other.”

And as I spoke, Miles’s wolf flew for Jacob’s, the cut along his flank was already making him weaker, and Miles now had him pinned to the floor. Jacob’s wolf fought back valiantly, but the power of Miles’s Alpha wolf was beginning to overpower him, and as my Dad and Alpha Marshall came rushing around the corner, Miles’s wolf sank his teeth into the neck of Jacob. Blood spilled heavily out along the carpet, as Miles’s wolf ragged his head side to side angrily, taking his fury out on the wolf in front of him, despite the fact this was all because of me…

The neck of Jacob’s wolf had to be broken, as his body lay limply on the ground, blood now pooling around his head and body, while myself, my Dad, and Miles’s Dad looked on in horror. I was screaming, and had been since the moment I realized what was happening, but it felt so dazed… almost like the sound came from somebody else... all so much of a blur.

I don't think I was wanting to register what was happening. I was losing Jacob. My Dad ran toward me, his arms wrapping around me. Shaking me gently to try to bring me around from this nightmarish daze. “Kaia, are you okay? What happened?” he questioned, but my mind was gone. It didn’t seem to want to function properly.

I think he killed Jacob. The man I had agreed to marry... the monster that had laid inside of him... had killed Jacob. He killed the man I loved…

Alpha Marshall moved across the hallway to meet us. “Is she okay? What the hell caused Miles to flip like that?” he demanded. “Who is the wolf?” he asked, his eyes were narrowed, his face filled with confusion at what had occurred on a day that was meant to be one of celebration.
