Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0186

Once I had left Bailey after walking her home, deciding it was most definitely not a safe plan for me to go and help her arrange her room for her sister's arrival, I had gone to find Caleb to do some training. Taking my frustration out on my best friend by beating the crap out of him sounded like a good plan. Because, I knew the moment I was alone in a room with Bailey I was not going to be able to keep my self control under control... Turned out, because I was so distracted by thoughts of Bailey, it was more a case of Caleb beating the crap out of me... but still it was a distraction for a little while. Kept me and Zion busy for a little while, and made a change to the office work I had been doing earlier. It was only as we walked back through the pack and were returning to the packhouse that I had seen her with her sister, and I instantly felt my heart lift at the sight of her. She looked so beautiful. Good enough to eat...

Though hearing the way her sister spoke of her irritated me a little. But, I think I managed to hide that pretty well. Though why Bailey had rushed off I don't know. I now had Caleb looking at me with a puzzled look upon his face, as I watched Bailey walk inside the packhouse in her bid to get away from us.

"What?" I asked him, with a small shrug.

"Something you want to tell me?" he asked and I shrugged again.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

I know out of everyone, Caleb is the first person I should be telling of this shift of things between Bailey and me, but I want to see where it goes first. Hell, she may decide I am a complete jackass yet... I mean, that wouldn't be completely impossible to understand...

'Not if you act like a normal person.' Zion grumbled. Evidently he didn't like the thought of her leaving us. Though, in truth, neither did I. I hated the thought of not being able to freely see her for the next few days while her sister was here. I was already missing her, and I only saw her properly a few hours ago!!

"You coming to see Eden and the little ones?" Caleb asked me with a smile, and I nodded. I haven't seen the pups for a few days, and I am sure they would brighten my day, as they usually did. I imagine Freya will have grown a lot in those few days too.

"Eden doing okay with two of them driving her crazy alongside you?" I asked, and Caleb laughed.

"She seems to be. She is a wonderful Mama, always meant to be, I think." He says with affection thick in his voice. I can't help but be a little envious of my friend. He had it all now. His mate, his family and a happy, hectic home where he couldn't wait to return to each day.

"You wait until they are teenagers, and they are answering her back! Eden is a fiery little firecracker, goddess help you if Freya takes after her, there will be some serious battles in your house!" I told him with a laugh, and he rolled his eyes.

"Oh, I know. I have already had that warning from Eden's Dad. I am coming to live with you then." He warned me, and I laughed again.

“I will make sure the spare room is set up." I told him with a smirk, while we walked along the pathways of the pack. Pack members waving to us as they pass.

"How come Bailey's sister came to stay?" Caleb asked me, taking me by surprise. I was sure I had spoken to him about this. Evidently the lack of sleep was getting to him. "Isn't she working?"

"Bailey or her sister?" I asked, unsure which one he was asking me about, and he chuckled.

"Bailey."

I nodded. “She is still planning to work, I assume her sister will relax until she finishes work. She explained she needed a little space from back home. A former boyfriend marrying or something." I explained with a shrug.

"Seems you and her are getting along well. Do you see much of her with living in the packhouse together?" he asked with a small smirk, as he unlocked his front door. Was this my friend digging for gossip? He'd be disappointed...

I gave him a sideways glance along with a small shake of my head. "Rarely."

"Honey, I'm home!" he called out to Eden the way he always did, and Matty came toddling out of the lounge to greet his Dad, a beautiful big smile on his face. The same big blue eyes as his Mama looking up at us. Caleb instantly swooped him up in his arms, showering his son in kisses and cuddles, making me smile. He may drive me crazy at times, but I can not deny he was a wonderful father...

Eden came out of the lounge soon after, with her arms, her

up at the sight of us.

"Hey you two!" she walked over to Caleb, snuggling into his side, as he softly kissed her head. "I didn't realize you were coming Ash." She adds, while passing Freya, to Caleb.

"We were training, so I suggest he come and see his niece and nephew." Caleb explained, leading his son into the lounge once again. Eden nodded with a smile. "You need a coffee?"

I smiled, and followed her to the kitchen to help. “Please.” I said, leaning on the countertop as we walked through the door.

Suddenly, Eden was in front of me, offering me a mug of coffee. "Shit Ash, you could smile, you know? My kids already barely sleep, I don't need them seeing that scary face, or they'll be having nightmares and be up even more during the night!" she joked.

I gave her a sarcastic smile, taking my coffee, taking Caleb's too, to take it through to him. “Thanks.”

"Everything okay with you?" she asked me, questions hanging heavy in the air. I knew what she was implying. She was referencing our previous chat, and I nodded with a smile, one a little bigger than I intended.

"Oh, I'd say from that smile, Mr Big-Shot Beta, things are more than good. You been charming our new teacher by any chance?" she questioned, and I simply smirked, with a little shrug, before walking through to the lounge to give Caleb his coffee.
