Chapter 30 Bailey

• I watched my Dad as his fist flew toward the wall of his office 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 yet anyway.
• 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 admit, 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 I went back to the hospital to see how Harley was, I planned to mindlink Miles to demand answers.
• “Bailey, he rejected his mate!” my Dad snapped. “That is not allowed for an Alpha! He hurt you, Bailey. My little girl!” he growls angrily, and again the irony hits me that he sounds suddenly protective when, for so long, he had been completely oblivious to the persistent jibes and bullying I had endured due to my studying. My geekiness. Basically for not fitting in the way that was expected of me. I was the Beta’s daughter. I should have been beautiful. Sporty. Popular. Much like my sister, Morgan, I guess. So, I suppose, one out of two daughters being a stereotypical Beta daughter was something I suppose. My Dad hadn’t completely failed.
