Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

55)

Chapter 55 - Ellis | saw the look upon my Dad's face at my Uncle's words and I think it was safe to say he wasn’t

happy. | had known my Dad long enough to know he hated to have his authority questioned. The thing is, my

Uncle knew that, even more than me, he had been his Beta longer than | had been alive, and they had been

friends even longer than that. But, | can’t say | disagree with a word my Uncle has said. | know my Dad would

expectto take the side of my family, but on this, | couldn't. My Uncle was right. We had to look out for the

safety of our pack, and with Miles in the current state he was in, he was a serious risk to the pack. My Dad

needed to deal with him. The thing was, | didn’t know how was best to do that. He had almost killed a man. Yes,

we are werewolves. Yes, we kill, but that is when it was deemed necessary. We generally do not go around

needlessly killing. That is not how we were brought up. And, Miles was to be the next Alpha, his reputation

mattered massively. There was being respected for your strength and being feared for your ruthless and

heartless manner. And being feared in that way, | did not think was right. | glanced across to Jordan, he had his

head in his hands. | could see this was taking its toll on him. ‘Are you okay?’ | mindlinked him. He and I had

always been close. Much like he and Miles had. Growing up with our Dads being best friends, it was always going

to happen, though he was always that bit closer to Miles, knowing he would be his Beta. He was likely worried for

his best friend, like | was about my brother. Chapter 55-Ellis 208 Vouchers ‘Stressed. Wondering what will be.

Tired. Brain feels like it wants to explode.” He replied, and | couldn't help but smile. | don’t think | could have put

it better myself. ‘Yeah, | get that. Hopefully they sort this. But going from that look on my Dad's face, he wants to

kick sa**es.’ | warned him. ‘So long as it isn’t mine, | haven't had a coffee yet.” He replied, and | held back

the chuckle that was threatening. He was not the only one that hadn’t had a chance to have his coffee this

morning, after

being rudely disturbed by my Uncle, during mid- morning fun with my new mate. “So not only are you throwing

all this s**t at me, but now you threatenwith the werewolf council too?” My Dad suddenly yelled right back

at my Uncle, tellingthis was likely far from over. “If needs be, Marshall, yes. This needs dealing with. He is

going to destroy this pack, and himself if he is not dealt with, can you not see that?” My Uncle says, and he is

not backing down. I got to give it to my Uncle, our current Beta. He is a tough cookie. He is one of the few

people, besides my Mum, who will stand up to my Dad so willingly. He does not take his s**t, and if he believes

he is wrong he will tell him without faltering or fear. | have to say, | have always respected him for that, because,

friends or not, he would always be the weaker of the two, because my Dad was the Alpha, yet that never

stopped my Uncle, he was always ready to give my Dad **t when it was needed, which many a thad brought

much amusement to me. Sadly though, right now, this was far from amusing, and much more concerning.

Neither one seemed willing to back 00.39 Chapter 55-Ellis 1288 Wouchers down, and Uncle Donovan was ready

to stand up for both his family and the pack without a doubt, and this t| would have his back whether my

Dad liked it or not. “So, smart guy, what the f**k do you expectto do?” My Dad looked to my Uncle, and for

once saw uncertainty upon his face, and that filledwith fear. My Dad is an overpoweringly strong Alpha,

always meticulous in his work. Ruthless yet logical and decent and compassionate when needed. He was much

respected as an Alpha both within our pack and beyond. He was always so certain of what he was doing, so to

see this look of indecision and doubt upon his face worried me. “You know all of this is true of Miles, | assume?”

“You think we would cto you with things we weren't sure of, Marshall?” Uncle Donovan says a little less

harshly now. “This is sserious s***it. We cannot hand the pack to someone so dangerous. He could destroy

everything. He is already running around like he has no rules to follow.

Like he believes, as the next Alpha, he is not touchable. He broke rules in rejecting Bailey, and thought nothing

of lying about that and covering it up. Hurting her over and over while he slept with other she- wolves before

rejecting her. And now he won't even let her leave the pack. He is drinking excessively night after night, going to

w**e houses, getting into fights in clubs. One of the guards had to go and pay bail the other night and pay extra

to allow the issue with the police to disappear. This can’t continue.” | saw my Dad drop his head into his hands.

“This was all Miles?” he muttered, while | reeled in shock at the revelations, many of which | hadn't heard of

either. It seemed my older brother had been doing a whole lot more than even | knew of. My Uncle was right, we

needed to fix this, and soon. My Dad had to see that though... Chapter 55-Ellis “I am afraid so, Marshall. He isn’t

the sweet kid he once was. The power of knowing he is going to be Alpha seems to have gone to his head. And,

as for this, almost killing a pack member. That is it in my mind. That is not a man fit to be an Alpha. He needs

help. He has anger issues, but he has had since being a child. You know that. Had Ellis not been there, that

warrior would be dead. Miles was ready to blit on rogues. It was only because Ellis spoke up the truth came

out.” My Uncle explained, and my Dad looked across to me. “He said it was rogues?” he asked, and | nodded.

“He tried to lie to cover it up? To cover up his disgusting actions?” And | nodded once more. “I am sorry Dad, but

yeah. He askedto lie for him too. Saying the warrior deserved it. | did lie initially until | realized the truth.

Then | told Uncle. We knew then we had to speak to you.” My Dad shook his head. “I need to speak to your

Mum.” “Dad, you can’t make excuses for him anymore. This is the pack s safety you are talking about now.” |

warned him and he nodded. “I know son. | feel sick knowing Miles is capable of all of this. This does not sound

like him at all. He should be with his mate. Maybe Bailey should chome?”

| saw the eyes of Jordan and Uncle Donovan dart towards one another, before looking atand my Dad in

shock. “Marshall, he rejected her. He treated her shockingly. She is not going back to him. She is finally free of

him, and she will stay that way. If you want him to have a mate, then it will be a chosen one. And it will not be

my daughters!”
