Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 244

“Yes!” she sobbed loudly. “He was my soulmate.”

“He was your soulmate, yet you agreed to marry my son?” Marshall snapped angrily.

Alpha Aaron rolled his eyes, as I looked at him accusingly. “Yet you think you have no blame to take for any of this?”

His eyes narrowed at me. “My daughter made a mistake.”

“I am sure we could say the same for Miles. It had to hurt him seeing the woman he hoped to settle down with, with another man, hence reacting the way he did. I can see this is not going to be solved in the way you see fit. So, I think we are going to have to compromise. And that includes you, Alpha.” I said curtly, I would happily see Miles punished for what he had done, but right now, I had to put that to one side. I was here as the Beta of the pack. Best friend to Marshall. I needed to act with the pack’s best interests in mind, not my own desire for revenge.

“You expect me to compromise? After everything that has occurred? We had a big wedding, there are people out there expecting a happy marriage. A beautiful bride and groom. And instead we have a dead body, a missing groom and a wailing bride. Far from a good image for either pack, is it?” Alpha Aaron snarled at us, and Marshall chuckled.

“Well, take the wailing bride out of the back door and return home with her. Allow the guests to continue the party. If anyone asks where the bride and groom are, we will say they left for their room, to enjoy their wedding night. Who would know differently? Or question different? Nothing needs to be announced yet. Then we will say the marriage was unsuccessful in a week or so. Say that chosen mates did not work for either of them. Simple and short. No complications. No need for long explanations.” Marshall suggested with a dismissive shrug.
