    Chapter 73 – Bailey


    I waved off my final pupil of the day, having had the best day ever! I loved my new ss, every


    single child was the sweetest little thing. All such characters, and I could see myself having such fun


    teaching them all. I would likely say it at every school I went on to teach at, but I think it was the


    ce I was meant to be. I felt fulfilled being here, and it made everyte night finishing assignments


    worth it. Finally, I was able to call myself a teacher. And, I knew I had made the right choice.


    I was just tidying my ssroom up, when the ssroom door opened, making me jump a little, and I


    turned, wondering if it was one of the parents having forgotten something, or perhaps one of the


    other two teachersing to see how my day had gone, so I was more than a little surprised to see


    Beta Asher standing there. He was thest person I expected to see here in all honesty after the


    way he had been this,morning, and how awkwardly he had left, but he was here all the same… and


    his green eyes were watching me pretty intensely from across the room, and what I think may be a


    small smile appeared to be ying upon his lips.


    “Hey Beta Asher.” I greeted him with a smile. “I wasn’t expecting to see you.”


    “Hey Bailey. Erm…” he faltered, slightly, making me chuckle.


    “Luna Eden sent you to check in on me again?” I teased him and I saw a little colore to his


    cheeks, “I will take that as a yes, shall 1?”

    He sighed, sitting himself on the edge of my desk. “See, you make me sound bad when you say


    that.”


    “Aww, and when have you ever been bothered by what I think?” I said with a grin, and heughed.


    “Would you believe me if I said I did care what you thought?” he said with a wry smile, as I came to


    join him sitting on the edge of my desk now that the ssroom was all but tidy.


    “Probably not, considering how our previous conversations have gone.” I admitted, and he


    chuckled.


    ‘I think he needs a doctor, or aputer engineer. He is seriously malfunctioning!’ Akira giggled.


    ‘This is the most he has smiled andughed since we got here. Did someone s**e his drink?’ Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    I chewed my lower lip to stop myself from smiling at the things my wolf was saying about him, but I


    think she may be right. Not about him needing a doctor, or being s**d. Those were both a little


    harsh; but, that this is likely the most he has smiled orughed with us since we had arrived. This


    was definitely out of the character I hade to expect of him…


    “Ok, I likely deserved that. So, putting aside that you don’t think I care. How did your first day go?”


    Asher’s head tilted to look at


    me.


    “It was so good!” I said with a smile. “The pups are the sweetest little bunch of hooligans!”


    Asher threw his head backughing. “Well, that is not a way I expected to hear the beautiful children


    of our pack described, especially by a teacher.” He raised his brows at me, and I shook

    my head at him before he added. “But you could not be less wrong, they are little monsters, right?”


    “Aww, I think they are wonderful. I love working with them.” I told him, knowing I sounded full of


    emotion as I do, and I could see him watching me as I spoke, a gentle smile on his face as he


    listened. “It makes all my hard work worth it.”


    “Well, they are lucky to have you as your teacher, I would say. Bailey.” He says softly, cing his


    hand upon my leg, making me jump slightly in shock at the contact.


    I raised my gaze to meet his big green eyes, full of confusion, my head feeling a little confused and


    light itself right now, just as the ssroom door opened again, causing Beta Asher to suddenly


    move away from me, like he didn’t want to be caught near me, as Alli walked into the ssroom.


    “Oh, hello Beta Asher, I didn’t realize you hade to check in on our beautiful Bailey again.” She


    winked at me, as if rying some secret message that I wasn’t quite understanding…


    “Erm…” he stuttered a little, causing Alli to smile at him, which only caused him to blush. “Luna


    Eden asked me to call in to see how her first day had gone. I would not be here otherwise.” He said.


    like he suddenly gainedposure. Had we made him. feel ufortable?


    “Beta, there is nothing like making the poor girl feel like she is an inconvenience to your day.” Alli


    said with a frown. “I apologize Bailey, Beta Asher here is not the best at thinking before he speaks.”


    Beta Asher rolled his eyes while Akira is giggling within my mind. ‘I like thisdy.’ She tells me. ‘She


    says it as it is, and she


    52 195


    makes the big bad Beta feel bad.


    “I did not mean to make you feel like an inconvenience, Miss West.” He said formally, making the


    wonder where that calm and sweet guy from a few moments earlier had gone.


    ‘Oh we Miss West again? He needs teaching a few lessons I’d say…’ Akira piped up again.


    I was just about to tell my wolf to shut up when I saw how ufortable Beta Asher looked, and I


    couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. “Honestly, it is fine. I know Luna Eden asked you toe. I


    know she will give you a hard time if you don’t. I also know you weren’t trying to make me out to be


    an


    inconvenience. You do not need to exin yourself.” I said softly to him.


    “Aww, see aren’t you lucky she is such a sweet girl, Beta. She has done a wonderful job today. We


    are lucky to have her here, Beta Asher, wouldn’t you say?” Alli says, looking intently at the Beta who


    looked at me before he spoke.


    “Yes, I think we are lucky to have her.” He said quietly, before he quickly looked away from me and


    walked silently from the


    room.
