Chapter 25 Bailey

• I was taken aback by my brother. That was not how he normally acted. Could him meeting his mate have changed him? As happy as I am for him that he has met his fated mate, his sympathy and kind thoughts all feel a little too late. He had been acting like I was some sort of social pariah for years. Like I was something to avoid, like the plague, all because I preferred to read rather than hang out by the football field cheering for them. All because I preferred something different.
• I never intended to embarrass my brother, or my family by being the way I was. I just wanted to do well in life. I wasn’t aware that it was such a crime, yet the way my brother and sister had spoken over the years, you would think it was first degree murder I had committed. But, I guess I should be grateful now he was showing some remorse. Maybe it was a sign he was growing up? The worrying thing was, what would happen when he confronted Miles? Because that was bound to happen. And, I doubted that it would go down well when Miles discovered that I had shared this with yet another person. Especially one so close to him. One that he held in high-regard. He would hate to lose the respect of my brother. My brother was meant to be the next Beta.
• ‘Jordan, can you not say anything to Miles about this please?’ I mindlink him before he leaves the pack. He had only just set off, so he still had to be on the packlands by now.
