Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 233

Hearing Miles was on his way for Bailey had filled me with rage. Miles had, for so long, deemed Bailey not good enough for him. For the pack. Even to the point of rejecting her. Belittling her. Breaking her down over the years. Attempting to destroy her heart and her soul with his tactics. Yet here he was suddenly deciding he was going to try and pull her back from her escape from the pack? Make her his?

I do not know what went on inside the mind of that monster, but it was not right. He needed stopping in his path. This was not going to happen. Bailey deserved the happiness and fresh start in life that she had ensured for me after Miles’s attempt on my life. I should be the one to help her get that!

My gaze fell uncertainly on my mate. I only hoped she would be understanding of my need to help my friend. My first love, I guess you could say. I wanted her to find the love and happiness I had found. Let her experience the joy it created within you. Only then would Bailey realize just how grateful I was to her.

‘I need to help them get away baby.’ I mindlinked Dana and she looked at me with a smile.

‘I would expect nothing less.’ She responded, as we stood guard at the door. ‘You would not be you if you were to simply walk away and leave them to fight this alone. And neither would I. We are warriors Harl, we protect. And right now, that girl needs our protection.’

I smiled proudly at my mate. She was one hell of a girl! A true blessing. The other half of me. A perfect match; and I could not be more grateful that she understood what we needed to do. Now we just needed our friends to hurry their asses up…

Thankfully, they were soon loading up the car after a little conflict. My stomach was heavy and churned with anxiousness… nerves. I just hoped that whatever was happening in that packhouse was enough to hold Miles back. It was frustrating that we didn’t have more information to understand better what had occurred, but I am sure we would learn soon enough. Yet in the meantime, we needed the issues in the packhouse to be severe enough that Miles did not get to the house here until Bailey and her sister were long gone. Surely his own father and Beta Donovan would be capable of holding him back, wouldn’t they? They absolutely could not just allow him to come and find Bailey... could they? I would like to think Beta Donovan alone would be determined to keep him away… keep his girls safe.

With a far from ideal goodbye, Bailey was rushed to the car. I would have preferred so much more than this, but I knew we would all be in touch again soon. Dana and Bailey seemed to get along great, and, I have to say, it was so good to see her again. That beautiful smile never seemed to dim, nor did that light in her eyes, despite the shit going on in her life. She deserved happiness and I hope in her escape she finds it. I had to help her find that! I was becoming more and more determined and hopeful by the second…
