Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0135

Life in the pack was hectic, though everyone was in such a joyful mood at the news that their Luna had given birth to the daughter of their Alpha. Their pack had a new pup to celebrate. I had been so busy with things for work that I had yet to go and visit. Besides, I thought it was only right that the family got to spend some time alone together. Not that it stopped Luna Eden messaging me. She was messaging back and forth much of the day and night.

It seemed, in the pack Luna, I had gained a new friend, not that I minded. A friend was never a bad thing, and after the way Miles had treated me over the years, I had lost many friends, all taking the side of the Alpha… So, this new friendship with Luna Eden was somewhat of a novelty, I had to admit. Although, she would not let go of the tense atmosphere in the room between Asher and me when I visited her the other night. So frequently asking me what was going on between us. Asking what had happened, and why Asher was trying to get away the moment I arrived. But I was not able to explain the way he reacted. Nor was I able to explain how his mind worked.

You would think she would know him better than me. She had known him a lot longer, but she had not been able to shine any light upon it either. But, we were both in agreement he did appear to be avoiding me. But, I had no clue why. I had not seen him in the packhouse of a nighttime since, so I didn’t really have the opportunity to ask him. Though, I had ensured I stayed in my room after dinner. Maybe that was a little childish of me, but I did not have the energy to deal with the awkwardness either.

I closed up my classroom after yet another fun day in school. This was one of the few positives of me being in this pack now. I loved my job and the little monsters I was teaching. They were the highlight of my day, and constantly cheered me up. But, once the day was over, it was back to my usual mundane and miserable life, all alone in my small room in the packhouse doing my best to avoid the mean and moody Beta of the pack. I was beginning to wonder if it was the right place for me or not…

I was just walking toward the main doors, when Marc walked into the school, his whole face lit up as he saw me, and I instantly felt my mood brighten. At least someone was pleased to see me. “Now aren’t you a sight for sore eyes, Princess.” He winked at me.

“Marc, stop flirting with my staff!” Alli yelled from the staffroom, and I felt my cheeks heat up, as I noticed Marc’s cheek tinting red slightly too, telling me he was likely as embarrassed as I felt. I don’t think he meant it in a flirting way, that seemed to be the way he spoke with me…

He chuckled. “Can’t even say hi.” He shrugged. “Come to help her, and she accuses me of flirting. Maybe I should just go home, she would soon complain then. When she had to do the repairs on her own.”

I smiled at his cheekiness. “Hi.” NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“Hi to you too. See, you look so much better when you smile, you know? Anyway, you been avoiding me at dinner time?” he asked, leaning against the wall, his eyebrows raised, and a hand upon one hip, like he was teasing.

“No, I have been busy with things for work. Doing class preparations is all, so get to dinner later.” I explained. “Why would I avoid you?”

He looked down, like he was suddenly uncomfortable, or maybe he doubted himself. I was struggling to read him... “Don’t know, maybe after the stuff Beta Asher said.”
