Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 256

I looked up at my mate, his handsome features angry, and I felt guilt flooding me. I hadn’t intended to sound like I was standing up for Miles. “I am sorry.” I whispered. “I wasn’t defending him, I didn’t know if it was him. That is all I meant. I will call my Dad.”

I moved away, to walk to the house, as my phone was left in the car. I hated the thought that I had disappointed my mate. I would never defend the monster that was my former pack's upcoming Alpha, not anymore. Not after everything he had done. And the thought that Marc thought I might upset me.

Marc quickly followed alongside, reaching for my hand. “I’m sorry I snapped baby. I am just worried. Scared for you. Scared for Bailey. I feel like I let you down.”

I squeezed his hand tightly to reassure him. “You were not to know that was going to happen.”

As we arrived at the house, he looked at me with a sad smile. “Make sure your Dad knows what has happened to Bailey. They need to prepare for what may have happened, Morgan.”

I realized the seriousness of his words and I felt dread filling my stomach as I lifted the phone to make the call, not wanting to wait a moment longer. My Dad would know what to do. “Hello?” My brother’s voice surprised me.

“J?” I asked, wondering why he was answering my Dad's phone.

“Morgan. Did you all get home okay?” Jordan’s voice was full of unease, which told me my Dad had told him everything. I didn’t want to be the one to do this. I looked up at Marc who was watching me, his eyes full of concern.

“You want me to do this?” he offered, and I nodded, fighting tears, putting the phone onto loud-speaker.

“Hey Jordan, it is Marc. Morgan is struggling right now. There was an incident on the way home.” He began.
