Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0210

Marc shook his head. "I get it. But, your Dad is a grown man, he needs to let his girls go too. Your pack does work a little differently, of that there is no doubt. But, if you can get your Dad to listen, then consider it Bai. Because you being happy is more important than destroying yourself trying to please other people. Especially when at times there is no pleasing those others.”

I smiled sadly. He was probably right. There sure felt no way of pleasing them of late! I shrugged. “It is what it is."

"I think we need Asher here to take you over his knee!" Marc said with a wink, and I rolled my eyes.

Morgan giggled. "Marc is right, try speaking to Dad. Maybe with me there he would consider it now? And, as for Beta Asher, I am sure you guys can fix everything, Bai. He seems like a good guy. Even if he seems to forget how to smile sometimes."

Marc laughed loudly. "Oh, darling, you are the cutest." He grinned at my sister. "Asher can be a grumpy fucker sometimes, but he is a big softy inside all of that. Most certainly a good guy. And I definitely think you have got him hooked, Bailey. Call him when we arrive. Yeah? Sort things."

'Oh don't they make you sick?' Akira grumbled grumpily in my mind. She had not been in the best frame of mind since the mess with Asher had escalated, and barely bothered emerging, so her communicating now took me by surprise, but I still chose to ignore her dig at the loved-up couple that was my sister and her new mate.

I looked at him through the mirror in shock. "Did you not see the way he looked at us just then?"

"Looking at those eyes, he hasn't

slept. Or if he did, it was in his

office." Marc said with a shrug. "And looking at the clothes, he had been out for a run, taking his anger out on some prey, so he'd need a shower. I wouldn't take it personally. Just how Asher can be when feeling low."

My heart tightened in pain now. I had caused him to fall back into his old habits. He had stopped the late night working in his office, and had been spending his evenings with me. Even going to bed early. He had told me that. But, after the

miscommunication between us, and the debacle that followed, it seemed things were returning to how they had been. That was the last thing I wanted for him. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Maybe I could give him a call when we arrive. But knew right now I didn't want to talk about this anymore. "Was your Mum excited to found your fated mate?" I

asked him, and his face broke into a

big smile.

Morgan was grinning too. “I think she was ready to throw a party when Marc walked into the house with me!"

I laughed. "Aww, that is nice."

"And I cannot wait for everybody in the pack to see the handsome warrior on my arm when we arrive, the one I get to call my mate!" Morgan exclaimed excitedly, making Marc chuckle.

Well, at least one of us was looking forward to our visit...
