Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 277

I sighed. If I could not use good memories to my benefit, then I have to work harder… “I have never been the smartest Bai, you know that. That was why we ended up falling out. I was childish. I resented you. And, I held that against you for longer than I ever should have. I turned to you for help and you walked away. From then on, I was set on revenge, never realizing that you would be the one the moon goddess selected for me. Not that it matters, that was never the way to treat someone…” I looked at her again, and her big brown eyes were looking at me, but she shook her head. I don’t think she ever knew my reasons. Well, she did now.

“That was why you treated Bai the way you did?” Morgan asked in shock.

“I am not going into it. But yes.” I admitted, and I saw many disgusted faces. I knew I was in the wrong, I did not need telling. I just needed to convince this girl I could change. “Bai, I realize now I made a mistake. I should never have rejected you. The moon goddess decided you were the one that was meant for me, and I think she was right. I have thought back so many times to how close we used to be growing up, before all this mess…” I faltered, and I could see her face was emotionless, as she looked up at the Beta.

“Why do you look at him?” I asked. “Do you need his input? This is between you and me, is it not? Can they not leave?”

Alpha Caleb shook his head. “We stay. Ensure her safety.”

I rolled my eyes again. I would not hurt her. Not now. I wanted to make her mine. The way fate had intended all along. “Is a guy not able to make mistakes? So long as he can admit them?” I urged her, and her eyes darted to mine. I was shocked at the anger I found there. This was not the mild and weak girl I remembered. She had changed recently. She was certainly more confident. Bolder. Braver...

“Make mistakes?” she questioned. “Miles, you almost killed Harley just so he could not be with me. He left the pack to escape you. Yes, you may have had your reasons within your mind for being a dick with me, all because I refused to help you with your studies, or should I say do all your studies for school to help you pass, but you made my life hell for far too long, and dragged others into that too. They aren’t mistakes, they were choices. Mistakes are one-time things, but these things were happening time and time again.”
