Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

54

Chapter 54 - Jordan My first night in our new hwith Gia was truly amazing. If this was going to be life with a

mate, then | could most certainly get used to it. Waking up next to her in her pack for those first days had been

incredible, but here in a house that | knew would be our forever home, well, it was on another level. Seeing her

as | opened my eyes, brought a contentment toand my wolf | could not describe. This was what | had

needed, yet | had just not realized it. | snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close to me, loving the

contact of her skin against mine. “Again?” she giggled. “Can | help it if | find my mate irresistible?” | purred into

her ear, causing her to giggle once more, makingsmile. ‘Jordan need you in my office asap.” My Dad

suddenly mindlinked, and my heart dropped. Wow. Nothing like c**k- blocking your own son was there?! ‘Are you

sure | am needed?’ | tried, desperately hoping he would get the message and would realize | wanted stime

with my mate. ‘You have all of your life to be with your mate, Jordan. Keep your mucky mitts to yourself, and get

to my office. We have this mess to deal with. Your Uncle is on his way, and we need to speak with him about

everything. My Dad linked, and | knew despite his slight joke he added in there, he was deathly serious. This was

our only chance we would get to put this across to my 09:38 Chapter 54 Jordan 283 Wouden Uncle. And if he

didn’t listen, then we would be facing the council, seeking their help on the matter. And that was the last thing

we wanted. ‘On my way.’ | grumbled reluctantly, with a big sigh. “Everything okay baby?” Gia looked up at me

with those beautiful eyes of hers, and | instantly hated

this mess, but | knew what | had to do. “I have to go out, | am needed at the office to deal with everything that

has been going on, so as much as | do not want to leave you, and trust me, | cannot tell you just how much I do

not want to leave you, | really need to be there.” | explained, with a sad smile. Gia smiled, her calm and caring

smile. “It is fine. | will still be here when you get home. This needs dealing with, so go and deal with it.” | softly

placed a kiss upon her head as | clambered from the bed and rushed to the shower, knowing if I did not rush

then my Dad would be on my case, and | did not need my previously good mood completely ruined by him. I got

to the office in record time, to find Ellis just arriving too, and he smiled enthusiastically as he saw me. “Your Dad

disturbed your tin bed with your new mate too, by any chance?” he asked with a grin, and | couldn’t help but

smirk at him. | had heard Ellis had found his mate too, so it didn’t surprisethat my Dad had disturbed him as

well as me. “Hmm, | wonder what gave you that idea? The ever so cheerful expression on my face?” | said

sarcastically. 0938 Chapter 54 Jordan “You mean the sone | am wearing?” he grinned. “But, he is right. This

does need dealing with, and Miles is passed out right. now, so no better time, right?” Of course, that would have

been why my Dad was up and doing this as early as he was. Miles will be rough today after his late night

drinking session, because he continued drinking long after I left him last night because he was persistently

mindlinkingto go and join him. I think he had forgotten | had found my mate now and did not need to be

going out to the bars to pick women up like he was suggesting. Him being out of it gave us an opportunity to

speak to my Uncle, the pack Alpha, and Miles’s father without any chance of Miles disturbing us. Offering us the

opportunity to explain all that needed to be explained to him. And, hopefully, he would see things the way we

needed him to. He would see

our side. “You think your Dad will listen EI?” | asked him, as we approached my Dad's office door “Not a clue, he

has a habit of not seeing any flaw in anything Miles does, so if that is what happens here, then in truth, we are in

trouble.” He says with a shrug as he knocked on the door. “Yep.” My Dad called, as Ellis opened the door, slowly

sticking his head around the door. “Hey Uncle, oh hey Dad.” He smiled, as | followed him in. “Oh, why do | feel

like I am being ambushed here?” My Uncle suddenly says, crossing his arms “We need to talk, and we feel the

more of us here to express our concerns the more likely you are to listen.” My Dad said, and | Chapter 54-Jordan

1 suddenly felt more than a little concerned, especially, going off the angry expression upon my Uncle's face.

“Oh, is that right? And what is it we are talking about? Because this does not feel right.” My Uncle's eyes darted

between the three of us, and | could see his eyes were flickering between those of himself and his wolf, and |

knew if his wolf cout we would be in trouble. “We are worried about Miles Dad.” Ellis took center stage, and

the moment Miles was mentioned, Alpha Marshall stood up, his anger flaring immediately. “Yet you didn’t think it

was right to have him here to defend himself?” he snapped. “Considering he is passed out because he has been

drinking heavily again, that would be difficult.” My Dad said almost sarcastically, tellinghe would not be

taking any messing. “He has issues Marshall, and we need them addressed, before he destroys the pack you

have worked hard to maintain.” “What the f**k do you mean he has issues? He is a young Alpha wolf enjoying

life is all.” My Uncle dismissed the bad behavior as nothing of concern, which did not surprise me. My Dad shook

his head while Ellis suddenly walked across and stood in front of his Dad, “And what about attempting to kill a

pack member? Is that a young Alpha wolf enjoying life?” My Uncle’s mouth dropped open and was about to

speak, but Ellis continued. “Or meeting his fated mate and rejecting

her because he deemed her not good enough for him?” Once again, my Uncle’s mouth was wide open. Shock

etched all across his face. “No. Not Miles. Surely not.” He muttered, Chapter 54 Jordan looking at my father as if

he expected to tell him Ellis was wrong. “Did you know about this?” 1 “I only just discovered it. Why do you think

| moved Bailey?” Alpha Marshall looked confused now. “Bailey? What has she to do with it?” “She was his fated

mate. He treated her like s***it, Dad. Total **t for years. Then he had tried to keep her here, for whatever reason,

despite rejecting her. And then attacked a warrior she was friends with to the point he almost died. Had | not

found. him and stopped him, | am certain that the warrior would be dead. Had I not then taken him to the

hospital, he would have been dead.” Ellis snapped. My Uncle dropped into his seat, shaking his head. “Why? No,

it doesn’t make sense. That does not sound like Miles.” “It is true, Uncle, believe us. Bailey has suffered at the

hands of Miles for years. Bullying and then rejection. He did not want her working away from here, he wanted her

by his side yet did not want her. And then tried to hurt the one man that was making her smile again. We had to

allow him and his family a safe passage out of our pack. Have you ever heard of a pack having to do that before

for an Alpha? Because | don’t think that is normal behavior?” | said, knowing | was treading a thin line in how |

spoke to him, but | needed him to hear what we felt. He needed to see how dire the situation had become. “The

warrior and his family left the pack?” he murmured. “Because of Miles?” “He couldn't be trusted not to do the

sagain, Dad. Do you not see that? He is **g dangerous. | have heard sof the Chapter 54 - Jordan things

he says. Because he is the upcoming Alpha. He sees himself as untouchable. It makes him

dangerous. Harley was told to leave for his own safety. As was Bailey. Though she wanted to leave. She hasn't

been happy here for stime, and who can blher with how Miles has treated her?” Ellis says with some

spite to his tone. “Miles deemed her not good enough and made sure all across pack thought the same.” “Bailey

wasn't happy here?” My Uncle chewed his lower lip. “Sweet Bailey? | thought she loved her home.” “Why do you

think she wanted to study away? And then why do you think she begged to go and work elsewhere?” | pointed

out, hating that I likely played a part in that in how | had treated her too. But, | am doing my part in putting that

right now. “Miles has becout of control, Marshall. He needs dealing with. He is out each night drinking

heavily. Sleeping with random. she-wolves. And being aggressive now around pack. He broke pack rules in

rejecting his fated mate, which is not allowed by an Alpha, not if you follow the older rules of a pack. He has

bullied and made Bailey suffer needlessly for years, yet she has kept quiet. None of us knew, even her own f¥tg

family! Do you know how bad that makes us feel?” My Dad yelled, and my Uncle looked to him with wide eyes,

shocked at just how angry he had got. “That boy has been given far too much freedom over the years and now

the power has gone to his head. He feels nothing can touch him. But, he needs pulling back into line. He needs

dealing with appropriately before he becomes so much out of control that there is no way back. So, the question

is, are you going to deal with him yourself, or are you going to continue to make excuses for him like you always

have and forceto go to the werewolf council for the benefit- and safety of our pack?”
