Chapter 30 Bailey
I watched my Dad as his list flew toward the wall of hollice as he raged in anger. I had literally just
told him a portion of the things that had happened. The main thing being that Miles had rejected me
“Dad, please calm down!” I begged him, knowing I could not risk my Uncle, the Alpha, hearing and
coming in. I did not want all of this to get out, not yemyways
We needed to decide what should be done. We needed to decide what was the safest thing to do. I
think the safer thing for Harley, as hard as it is for me to adjur, is for him to stay away from me, I
hate that he got hurt because of me, but the more I think about it, the more I know that that is what
happened. Once I had finished speaking to my Dad, and before went back to the hospital to see
how Harley was,
I nned to mindlink Miles to demand answers.
“Bailey, he rejected his mate!” my Dad snapped. “Tha is not allowed for an Alphal He hurt you,
Bailey, My little girl!” he growls angrily, and again the irony is me that he sounds suddenly protective
when, for so long, he had beenpletely oblivious to the persistent jibes and bullying I had
endured due to my studying. My geekiness. Basically for not fitting the way that was expected of
me. I was the Beta’s daughter. I should have been beautiful Sporty Popul. Much like my sister,
Morgan, I guess, So, 1 suppose, one out of two daughters being a stereotypical Heta daughter was
something I suppose, My Dad hadn’tpletely tailed.
He had just failed me, in that he had never been awal of the fact I was suffering so much. Just as
my Mum had been ignorant of it too. Sometimes I could’t help but wonder if they knew and chose to
ignore it because it was easier than having to deal with it.
“I know he did, Dad, but it is done now. And in truth, would not want him for a mate. He is nasty to
me. He has done nothing but bully me for years!” I told him, and my Dad spun around to look at me,
his face full of anger once more. Hmm. I don’t think y n of calming him down was going so well
right now…
“Bullying you?” he snarled.
‘F** it’ Akira snarls within my mind. He needs to kilow Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
I feel her rippling close to the surface. This whole situation is truly pushing her to the edge of her
limits right now. Pushing harder so she was so close to shifting without crossing that limit. “They all
did!” my voice snaps without me even nning to speak, but its tone is rougher, telling me Akira is
in control right now. “I was the source of ridicule for years, Jordan, Morgan. Miles. Ellis. Half of the
school. All because I like to study. Because I didn’t like to party.”
My Dad’s face fell at my words. “Oh.” He murmured.
Akira seems to simmer back a little now, like she feels she has got what she needed off her chest
and she was happy for me to deal with the consequence. “Pad, that is unimportant now. What is
important is this stuff with Miles. He rejected me but he won’t let me leave. I believe he hurt Harley
too.”
My Dad’s face contorted somewhere between a confused expression and an angry one. “The
warrior guy?” he looked at me with his tows raised in question, and I nodded.
Dad shook his head, like he wouldn’t quite believe my words. “Surely not. He is going to be the
Alpha one day, Bailey. Why would he be s**d enough to attack one of his own warriors?”

“Because Harley and I have been seeing one another a little. And Harley discovered we were fated
mates.” And as I added those final few words a look of realization crossed my Dad’s face.
“Is he okay?” he demanded, and I could only shrug, tears filling my eyes. “Didn’t you say you were
at the hospital with him?”
“I don’t know if he is okay. When I came here they were still waiting for him to wake up. He was in
theater. They said they thought it was a rogue attack. Ellis took him to the hospital. He said he and
Miles found him in the forest. So badly injured, his wolf was struggling to heal him.” I exined all
that I knew, and I saw my Dad chewing his lower lip, deep in thought.
“I suppose a rogue attack could be logical, Bai.” He smiled sadly, and just as I was about to argue
with him, he continued. “But we would have had some form of intruder warning if they had crossed
the border and there was none. I would have known about it. It makes no sense. It is too
coincidental. He learns of the fated mates and then suddenly he is attacked and conveniently found
by Miles and Ellis. But I thought Ellis would have known better.”
“That is the part I can’t work out.” I told him.
“Hmm. Maybe he caught him?” My Dad suggested. “Why else would he bring the boy to the
hospital? Because I can guarantee Miles would have left him to bleed out in the forest.”
And, deep down, I think my Dad could be right.
“Bailey, you need to get out of here. You are not safe. No, he was never right for you. I have no clue
what happened with that boy. But the moon goddess made an almighty fail with her mate bond
between the two of you. He would be better fated to a lump of s**t. About the same intelligence
wise, about as much heart and soul as a lump of s**t, so a perfect match, right?” he drops his head
to his hands in frustration.
“What will happen Dad?” I question suddenly, unsure what would happen now Miles was at risk of
knowing everything that could be revealed now. Especially if Jordan had been in touch with him.
“He would be angry I had told anyone.”
“We need to have you leave the pack. So, I think we should contact Autumn Valley Pack and ask if
that role is avable after all.” He tells me.
“But…” I begin.
He shakes his head, a firm look of determination upon his face. “No buts, Bailey. This needs to be
done. I will deal with the mess here. And I mean deal with it. All of it. I will make sure that boy pays.
For everything.”
My eyes widened at my Dad’s words. “What about Harley?”
“I think it may be best for him to relocate for a while too, once he is better. I will ensure the pack
compensate him for his trouble.” He says calmly, like he was already forming a n within his mind.
Though my Dad was an excellen Beta, he was experienced at forming ns and skilled at putting
the ns and their details into action.
“Can I see him before I leave?” I ask, and my Dad smiles.

move on, Bailey. His attachment to you has put his life in danger. And in theing weeks, the
situation in the pack could be a little hazardous, to say the least. I will speak with his parents, I think,
to see about him being removed to another pack for treatment so he is not essible to Miles.” My
Dad is already licking through a notebook upon his desk, like he is nning ahead. “And you call
Autumn Valley, ask about that job, or do you want me to? I can exin the predicament if needs
be?” he says with a concerned smile.
“I will call Luna Eden.” I quickly told him, knowing she would have no issue with that. And definitely
not wanting my Dad telling everyone my business. Making me into a s**b story! “When should I ask
to
move?”
“As soon as possible. Tomorrow if you can. The sooner you are away from here the better. But we
will wait until nighttime and leave. He is usually out between 11 and 4, drinking I assume, so we
have a perfect time slot to make your escape unnoticed.” My Dad tells me with a smile, just as there
was a knock at the door.
We both turned around in shock, as the door opened uninvited. “Ah, I thought I saw you guys
walking in here.” Ellis said, quicklying in and closing the door behind him as my heart rate
rocketed. “I ? think we need to talk.”
