Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 272

‘Do not even go there.’ I snarled, turning the corner, to walk straight into an angry-looking young guy. Currently, dressed quite formally, and Caleb, not far behind. I gave him a dark glare, as I shoved the little fuckwit in front of me, looking down at him angrily as I did. He looked like an arrogant little ass. Zion growled once more...

“So, thought you would turn up and claim what you think is yours, did you?” I growled. “Only she isn’t yours anymore, is she? Hasn’t been since the moment you decided she wasn’t good enough for you. Not that you ever deserved her in the first place.”

He stumbled back a little, clearly not expecting me to touch him, but soon steadying himself, as his eyes darkened before settling upon me. “And you are?” he sneered. This little shit so clearly thought he was something, I was more than ready to show him he wasn't…

“This is my Beta. And, you want to remember what I warned you outside, Miles. Or you will be detained, or killed. Remember that. This is my pack.” Caleb growled, his Alpha aura pushed right out at full force, making me flinch in pain. He rarely used his full aura, and he shouldn’t be doing that in the hospital either, but I assumed it was a sign of his power to this little knob. Putting him in his place. “You are here to say what you need to say to Bailey, allow her to make the decision she needs to make.”

Miles turned to look at Caleb, still looking far too confident for my liking considering Caleb’s aura and the fact he was on another Alpha’s pack. “Well, perhaps you want to tell your little sidekick to wind his neck in. I am here for Bailey. Nothing more. And as for Bailey making the decision she needs to make, she knows what is best for her pack.”

Zion pushed forward, so far forward and so fast he took me by surprise, as a deep growl emanated from my lips, as hair began to protrude from my arms. I battled with my wolf knowing that shifting in here would not be ideal… Zion could be brutal if he lost control, and while I had no issue with him losing control with this dick, losing control in the hospital was not the place for that to happen.

‘Calm down.’ Caleb ordered me through the mindlink. ‘I know you are annoyed, and so am I. But this cannot get out of hand, and right now he is behaving. First let’s put this thing with Bailey to bed. I have allowed him here so we can detain him until the council get here. So we know where he is. Logic, Ash. Logic. Do not make me use my aura on you too.’

I tried to calm my breathing. So angry at my friend and Alpha for thinking it was acceptable to let this man into our pack when he knew the threat he posed to the woman I loved. Yet he seemed to have some sort of plan. Did it make sense to me? Not right now, but Caleb’s plans rarely failed…

The anger inside was harder to control when it came to the little fuckwit by Caleb’s side, a small smirk upon his face, looking so smug and cocky. I was so desperate to want to rip this young upcoming alpha’s head from his shoulders. He seemed to see no fault in anything he had done, recently nor in the past. He couldn't do, or else he would not have turned up here now for Bailey. But he would not be leaving here with her, of that I was sure. He would have to kill me to get to Bailey, that much I did know.
