Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 270

“You even there?” the fool in front of me asked, stepping closer to me, obviously having been waiting for an answer while I communicated with my wolf.

“Yes. I am here.” I scowled. “Were you not taught to respect others when you were growing up?”

“Why would I need to when I am of Alpha blood and the Alpha heir?” he laughed.

I rolled my eyes at his response. Seems everything I had heard of him was true. “Being of Alpha blood and being the heir means nothing. Respect is earned. And from what I have already seen of you, if you go around acting like that, you will have nobody respecting you. Your pack would fall easily if you were to become Alpha. Your father would be a fool to let you take his title. I hope for his sake he has another son.” I said coldly, knowing that would be a hit to the stupid little shit’s ego.

He growled deeply as he moved forward again, hair beginning to protrude from his arms, telling me he was close to shifting.

“Oh, do you really want to do that here?” I questioned, pushing the full force of my aura forward, making him step back slightly. I think he saw I was stronger than him now. “Your pack would not question why you were killed when you went to attack an Alpha in his own pack, little boy.”

His eyes flickered darker, likely his wolf, but he remained where he was, simply glowering at me, as I continued. “So, if you want to go and see this so-called mate of yours, I suggest you wind your neck in. Fucking behave yourself. You are in my pack now and I will not tolerate any shit. Nor will I think twice about killing you. I doubt you’d be missed. I know who you are saying is your mate. She was brought in earlier. Attacked by rogues. She also works for us. Rejected by you, was she not?” I turned to him as I motioned for him to follow me to my car. I wanted him to know I knew of the circumstances surrounding their matebond.

He was still scowling as he shook his head. “She is my fated mate.”

“Not when you rejected her.” I climbed into the car and he followed suit.

“I changed my mind. Besides, even if I hadn’t, I need her close. Your fated mate brings you strength. To be the strongest Alpha I can be, I need her there. To give me the strength and power that will produce the most powerful Alpha my pack has ever had.” He said as I drove away. Surprised he was admitting all this to me, I was wondering if he hoped it meant I would take pity on him. Yet, his words echoed around my mind, not making any sense, causing me to laugh.
