Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0160

“No!” I snapped. "I do not want him knowing. It brings the name of my pack into disrepute. I cannot have that happening because of me, Asher. The trouble that would cause, all because of me, it would bring my Dad into it all too, I just can't!" I went to unlock the door to my room, desperate now to get away from him, he cannot do this to me.

"Bailey, is that what you think would happen? The information would go no further." He reached for my hand as I pushed my room door open, but I pulled it away, adamant he would not hold me here any longer. He would not convince me this was the right thing to do. I was rushing now to get inside of my room. I needed to get away from him. Away from this conversation. But, as I went to close my room door on him, Asher pushed his shoulder into the door, stopping me.

I glared at him, as he pushed his way into the room. "We have done this before, where we were upset with one another, and we stormed off, Bailey, and do you know how shit that made me feel?" he muttered, and I faltered at his words. He felt bad then too? I thought he was angry at me. He avoided me afterward...Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

I moved away and went and sat on the edge of my bed nervously, feeling oddly uncomfortable with Asher suddenly inside of my room. "We need to talk, get this sorted, then I will leave you to sleep, okay. Let us at least clear the air, or I will have even less chance of sleeping than normal, Bailey."

I felt my heart fluttering at his words now. I hate the thought of him not sleeping because of me. He had already said he struggled sleeping, but I didn't want to be a reason that was any worse, so I slowly raised my gaze and nodded. Watching as he turned and closed the door behind him.

"I don't think I will be doing the pack run tomorrow." Asher muttered as he leant against the wall next to my bed. I couldn't help but smile, assuming he felt uncomfortable at the thought of joining me sitting on my bed.

“Pack run?" I questioned, not recalling any mention of it.

He nodded. "All in the information I gave you. Good to know you read it." He grinned, and I smiled bashfully, Okay, he may have got me there. am not even sure where it went Thankfully, I assume I am not expected to take part, and tomorrow is my day off...

"Bailey, I think it would be good to tell Caleb all the stuff with this tool of a former mate of yours." He paused, a full on scowl coming over his face. "Wait, he is a former mate, isn't he? You did accept his rejection, didn't you?" his eyes were narrowed, and I am sure there was fear suddenly appearing there.

I rolled my eyes at him. Was he for real? "Oh no, I was hopeful that he may unexpectedly fall madly in love with me, Asher, as you likely saw from the snippets of the messages you saw, or here." I quickly unlocked my phone, finding my messages, and flung the phone at him. "There are more for you to see just how charming he is. He is such a catch, and I think he is just playing hard to get. A man any woman would be lucky to have." I said sarcastically, knowing I was likely being a little too blunt, but it got to me that he would ask such a stupid question.

But, my words fall upon deaf ears now he has my phone, as he stands and looks at the messages. His face contorts again. I think I may have made a mistake...
