Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0144

Being back in my pack felt so good. The place | was meant to be. The place | belonged. And the place | planned

to make my own. Despite not being away too long, it had been too long. This pack was mine. My hand the

place | needed to be. This place neededas much as | needed it. | would be the Alpha here. | was certain of

that. Of that there was no doubt. But, for sreason, my Dad seemed determined to want to haveout of

here before | had a chance to get settled again. Off on this search for the chosen mate they seemed to be

craving for me.

| did not need a mate to makestrong. | was strong enough on my own. Or | would be when | brought Bailey

home. | needed her close to gain my full strength that the fated mate brought. That was what legend told us.

And that was what | needed. | needed my full strength. She needed to be back home. She should never have

been allowed to leave. And | needed to find a way in which to do that. Yet, | had not found a way in which to do

that yet, not with my parents constantly breathing down my neck, or Jordan followingaround like a little lost

fucking dog, watching my every move. | had not found a way, but | would.

And even more irritating, was her number seemed to be disconnected now. She had gone. Uncontactable now

through the number I had for her. Tellingthat she was intentionally not wantingto speak to her. So, |

needed to speak with her sister. That had been my plan for today, but Morgan was still in a mood withafter

our last argument...

"Miles!" My Dad yelled from the kitchen, and I rolled my eyes from the place | laid upon my bed. The sooner |

could move from this hell-hole they called a family hand into the Alpha suite the better. "We need to

arrange these visits. | want to head off tomorrow." He barked up the stairs at me.

Wonderful. They really were wasting no time. Tomorrow seemed ridiculously soon! They wantedmarrying off

soon. No doubt popping pups out too. Little shitbags, heirs to this great empire of a pack. Well, this mate they

are findinghad best be willing to do all the child care and upbringing, because kids were most definitely not

something | wanted bothering with. But, | knew | needed heirs. That would be expected ofas an Alpha. So, if

my mate could deal with them, then we would manage. | would be the powerful Alpha, she could be the mother.

It wasn't like | wanted the mate. She was more to keep my parents and to sdegree the pack quiet. It was to

gain my title. To keep my power. | just hoped we would find a willing mate on this godforsaken tour. This needed

to work...

| stomped down the stairs to meet him. "What?" | snapped, taking a deep breath, trying my hardest to hold back

the anger that was threatening. It was proving harder and harder to suppress my temper, but | was using the

skills they had shownat the treatment center and battled with my wolf to stop unleashing my rage, in order

to allow my parents to think | was happy to go along with this. They needed to believe that. | had to deceive

them, then they would givethe title of Alpha.

Once | had my title, | could unleash my fury. And the pack would be brought under my rule. The pack would be

run the way it should be ruled. Pack members would wonder what had cfor them... My father's rule would

begin to seem like a walk in the park compared to me... the thought sent a shiver of a thrill down my spine... |

loved the thought of instilling fear in others... that was what being an Alpha was to me... the fear... the power.

“Are you getting irritable again?" My Dad raised his brows at me. He liked to challenge me, almost daringto

snap. | am sure he wantedto fail.

"No. | was busy." | lied. "What is

wrong? | thought we had gone over the plans. Like multiple times." | complained, glancing at the

paperwork my Dad had on the table. If he expectedto go through them, I could be here for hours.

What did we need to go through that would take so long? It was like repeating the sshit tand time

again... all for something | didn't even want!

"We need to finalize choices. There are plenty of things to discuss. Do you have preference of where we start?"

He asked with a smile. Oh, so they were actually asking my opinion? So far, it felt like | had no say...

My choice would be Kaia every time, but each ttried dropping her nin, | was spoken over, and | don't

even think they heard me. So she was soon overlooked. | was lined up to see a number of

eline

she wolves of various rankings across multiple packs across the country. | could be gone for months. This is not

what | want. This was only going to delay my title ceremony.

But, if he was asking for my opinion, maybe | could try pushing my luck. Give him my honest opinion on

something. Suggest an idea that | have not been able to get rid of for days now, one that I truly think would work

so much better than this lump of shit idea they had...

"Dad, do you not think I would bring

more appeal if was the Alpha?" | tried. "I will take a chosen mate. For that, | assure you. | will find a chosen mate

while we tour the packs. But, do you not think there will be

evelyn

potentially more interest and more volunteers to meetif | was already the Alpha?" | hoped he would

listen... this could easily work in my

favor...

My Dad gavea dark stare. But he looked in deep thought momentarily. Was my plan actually going to work?

But he shook his head. "Do not be so ridiculous. You still have so much to prove before | consider titles."

“Are you for real?!” | roared. “I have done all you asked of me, and it is still not enough?!” | stormed from the

house, my anger pulsing through my veins. Heading straight for the treeline as | strode away. | needed to get

away from him before | attacked him... it was getting so close each the pushedto the edges of my

temper...

My heart was pounding in my chest in fury. While | reached into my pocket for my phone. | scrolled through my

contacts quickly to find who | was looking for, clicking the call button.

"Morgan? | am so glad to hear your voice." | lied to her as her pretty face appeared upon the screen. | was

hoping that seeing my face would make her realize just how much she had missed me, and that the sweet-

talking would make her caround too. She had always liked my sweet-talking. "I need to see you darling."
