Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0269

I hadn't wanted to break the news to Asher. He had desperately clung to the hope we would have answers from these rogues. I knew he had, but I knew he would need to know. He wanted the blame to fall at the feet of the upcoming Alpha of Lotus Shadow Pack. Of course he did. He was the one who had made Bailey's life a living hell for too long. Far too long. He wanted to see him pay, and who can blame him?

But, that simply was not to be. Not unless the other rogue they spoke of was linked to him, but nothing so far implied that. It was merely a theory held by Asher and perhaps Marc. I needed this to remain professional for the sake of our pack's reputation. But consider the feelings of my friend. Although, I think with the information Asher had provided me, there was still enough information to go to the Werewolf Council to report this sick individual before he harmed anyone else.

But, right now, Asher's concern was Bailey, and her getting better. I could hear in his tone, even through the link, how disappointed he was at the news I had given him. I would call in and see him when I had done what I needed at the gates. I was still clueless as to why somebody was calling at the pack gates this late. I wanted to return home and snuggle up with my mate. Instead, I was driving through the pack to meet with this mystery guest.

I pulled up a little distance from the gate, stepping from my car, to hear angry shouting, causing me to rush to the small building we have where the guards tend to sit, the shouting getting louder as I got closer.

"Just fucking let me in!" a voice roared, causing my wolf to push forward. This sounded like somebody ready to try to infiltrate my pack. But why would they attempt to speak with me? Or try to come through the main gate? None of that made sense.

I turned the corner of the building to find our guard pinned up against the wall by a young looking guy, maybe in his early twenties. Glaring at him aggressively as he had him by the neck. Now I had my answer as to why the guard didn't respond to my mindlink, if he was having to deal with this stupid fucker.

“What the fuck do you think you are doing?" I roared, pushing my Alpha aura forward slightly, and the young guy, released the guard who slowly slid down the wall gasing for breath, looked at me with a sneer. Like my aura did not bother him in the slightest.

"Took your fucking time didn't you?" he snapped, and I raised my brows at him, while Thor was pushing further forward.

'Let me at him. He is asking to be fucking eaten.' He snarled, and as tempting as that sounded, right about now I needed to find out who he was and what he wanted.

"Excuse me? You are turning up at my pack gates in the middle of the night unannounced, demanding to see me, and then assaulting one of my guards, and then have the nerve to criticize me?" I snarled. "What do you want?"

"I am here for my mate." he said bluntly, like it was the most obvious explanation in the world.

"Your mate?" I questioned, his attitude was already getting my back up. He was acting like he was something more than he was. Like he felt the world owed him a living. I hated fuckers like this.

"Yes. She is in your hospital, I

believe." He said, his dark eyes glaring into mine, and at that moment realized exactly who this was. I should have realized sooner, but I think the lack of sleep was affecting my mind. This was him. The upcoming Alpha. Bailey's former fated. He had been brazen enough to come here for her? What a fucking fool. Did he think we would

just hand her over to him?

I felt anger bubbling through me. This man was a fucking monster. He planned to take her back with him and likely forcibly mark her. No. I could not... would not allow that to happen.

'Time to take him down.' I told Thor,

knowing he would be more than ready to show this young wannabe Alpha who was boss. It was about time he saw what a real Alpha was capable of; because it was obvious he had no clue what a real Alpha should be.

'I think we let him in.' Thor told me matter-of-factly, shocking me to the core.

'Say what now?' I demanded. 'He will forcibly mark her. Not to mention taking her away. Breaking Asher's heart. No T. No.'

'Let him in. Inform his pack. And the

Council. He will be held here until they come for him. He will not be taking the girl. But if he is here, we know where he is.' he told me, and I see that my wolf may have a point. It is good to have that second view Sometimes.

'Good thinking.'

'But, you also need to see what Bailey wants.' He added, and my anger built again. He had to be kidding me! She surely would not go back with him?!Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
