Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0277

I sighed. If I could not use good memories to my benefit, then I have to work harder... "I have never been the smartest Bai, you know that. That was why we ended up falling out. I was childish. I resented you. And, I held that against you for longer than I ever should have. I turned to you for help and you walked away. From then on, I was set on revenge, never realizing that you would be the one the moon goddess selected for me. Not that it matters, that was never the way to treat someone..." I looked at her again, and her big brown eyes were looking at me, but she shook her head. I don't think she ever knew my reasons. Well, she did now.

"That was why you treated Bai the way you did?" Morgan asked in shock.

"I am not going into it. But yes." I admitted, and I saw many disgusted faces. I knew I was in the wrong, I did not need telling. I just needed to convince this girl I could change. "Bai, I realize now I made a mistake. I should never have rejected you. The moon goddess decided you were the one that was meant for me, and I think she was right. I have thought back so many times to how close we used to be growing up, before all this mess..." I faltered, and I could see her face was emotionless, as she looked up at the Beta.

"Why do you look at him?" I asked. "Do you need his input? This is between you and me, is it not? Can they not leave?"

Alpha Caleb shook his head. "We stay. Ensure her safety."

I rolled my eyes again. I would not hurt her. Not now. I wanted to make her mine. The way fate had intended all along. “Is a guy not able to make mistakes? So long as he can admit them?" I urged her, and her eyes darted to mine. I was shocked at the anger I found there. This was not the mild and weak girl I remembered. She had changed recently. She was certainly more confident. Bolder. Braver...

"Make mistakes?" she questioned. "Miles, you almost killed Harley just so he could not be with me. He left the pack to escape you. Yes, you may have had your reasons within your mind for being a dick with me, all because I refused to help you with your studies, or should I say do all your studies for school to help you pass, but you made my life hell for far too long, and dragged others into that too. They aren't mistakes, they were choices. Mistakes are one-time things, but these things were happening time and time again."

"And I am sorry for them, so, so

sorry for them, Do you not see that? I requested an annulment from Kaia today because I realized it should have been you. I should never have given up on you. I have been a fool, Bai Please, give me a chance to prove I can change?" I lied. She did not need to know the circumstances of the situation with Kaia.

"You will never change. You went for treatment and came back worse." She said coldly. "Whatever went on with Kaia is nothing to do with me. We are not connected anymore."

My heart ached at the thought. I needed her to want me. Every other she-wolf I tried with wanted me, but the one I needed seemed to resist me so easily... "Bai, come on, darling. You know we could be good together. Luna and Alpha? You and me? Yes, I messed up, and will spend forever making that up to you." I put on my best charm, my voice a deep purr. "Think of the pack. What do you say?" I added, hoping that would sway her.

But instead her eyes fell on the Beta, tears beginning to build. And he suddenly enveloped her in anNôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

embrace. Angry eyes were upon me from all directions as I began to realize my plan was failing

miserably. I was about to spear

again, try desperately to win Bailey over, when I saw her whispering to the Beta. And then I saw a smile spread upon his face as he looked at her adoringly as she offered him her neck. Before I could move, his canines had elongated and his teeth sunk into her neck... he had marked her!

My heart tightened in pain... shock... fury... he had marked her. This man had marked the she-wolf that the moon goddess had chosen for me. The one I had been fool enough to let go... And the smile upon her face as she looked up at him, told me it was everything she wanted. I had already lost

her.

"Well, I think you have your answer, don't you?" Alpha Caleb said with a smile, as I felt all hope falling from me... leaving nothing but emptiness...
