Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0283

"Hello?" Beta Donovan's voice answered almost immediately, despite sounding sleepy, which was unsurprising given the hour. "Beta Asher, please do not tell me you are calling me to tell me something else has happened. Last update I had Bailey was stable. Has that changed?" he demanded before Bailey was able to even get a word in. I could see nothing had changed with this guy, he always had too much to say...This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

"Good day to you too, Beta Donovan." I said sarcastically, earning a dark scowl from my new mate, making me smile in response. "Were you going to give us a moment to talk before jumping to a conclusion?"

As Bailey had the phone on speaker, I could hear everything her father said and did, and heard a loud grunt. “Well, it is far from day, is it, you fucking pile of sunshine? And it is a bit hard not to jump to conclusions when I am worried sick, and you call me at an ungodly hour."

"So you don't want to know the news then?" I began with a smile, and Bailey looked at me again with a shake of her head this time. Her Dad was too easy to annoy, and I was too childish to resist...

"Hi Dad." Bailey interrupted.

"Bailey!" he responded, and I could hear relief just in the way he said her name. “You are awake?!"

Zion chuckled. 'Well if not, she is doing a bloody good job at pretending to be. That is one hell of a circus trick.' And I held back a laugh at my wolf.

"Seems that way." Bailey rolled her eyes at me, evidently thinking much the same way as Zion and me.

"Oh, sweetheart, we have been so

worried about you. Uncle Marshall has contacted the Werewolf Council about Miles. Ellis is going to be made Alpha too. Things are going to be changing. I don't know if Morgan told you? Though I believe your、 Alpha has too. The two Alphas have spoken. The Council should be on their way to you now. I am so sorry that boy has put you through so much. And that we let you down so badly." I could hear the pain and regret within his voice, so I could only assume Bailey could too, not that it would change the suffering she had gone through at the hands of Miles, but I hoped it meant she could begin to move forward.

"Yeah, I know the Council are coming. I don't really want to talk about Miles any more Dad. He is done with. He has done enough damage within my life. And besides, I have bigger and better things to look forward to." She said, and I could hear proudness dripping from her words, and it made my heart melt. She was talking about us... our future...

"Oh, is that right? You planning to take over the world now?" her Dad teased, making me chuckle.

"Can a Beta's mate take over the world?" Bailey asked, and I heard a shocked gasp.

"Oh goddess, you and the Lord of grouchiness are mates?" he exclaimed, but I could hear the smile in his words.

"Dad." Bailey warned.

He laughed. "I am happy for you both. I truly am Bailey. I just hope that boy knows how much it will cost him to keep you in books and chocolate. He may need a second job."

I found myself laughing now. "I think I am up for that challenge." I told him with a smile at my mate. Hell, I think I would do anything for this girl, so buying her books and chocolate was nothing...
