Chapter 0274I smiled. I realized that now. He stroked his thumb over my palm softly, his eyes not leaving mine,
before Miles pushed past Alpha Caleb to come storming into the room. “Oh, this looks fucking cozy.”
He snarled. “So this was why you were all up in my face, was it?”
I watched as Asher took a deep breath, his eye shifting between his and Zion’s. I knew he was
doing all he could right now to halt a full shift, as his grip tightened on my hand, as Miles continued.
“You think she would lower herself to you when she had been fated to an Alpha?” he jeered,
sounding so cocky.
“You are not an Alpha yet, Miles.” I pointed out, and his eye rested on me. “Asher is by far more of a
man than you could ever be.”
Asher’s eyes rested upon mine as he smiled, while a deep growl slipped from Miles, causing Caleb
to fly across the room, pinning him to the wall. The fact he was able to do it so easily told me Miles
was not expecting it. I had seen Miles fight, he was a more than capable fighter… “You were fucking
warned to watch yourself you little shit. You are here to say what you need to say. Keep this up, and
I will think nothing of letting my wolf out to play. He will quite enjoy playing with you, I am sure.
Snapping you in half.” Caleb took me by surprise at his aggressiveness. That was not the man I
was used to. But that was the voice of an Alpha in charge.
Miles did not break eye contact with Caleb, telling me he did not feel particularly intimidated by him.
But, the good thing was, he did not push any further.
The door quickly opened, disturbing the tense atmosphere that was building, and in rushed Marc
with Morgan following behind. I could only assume Asher or Caleb had contacted them. But, I saw
Miles smirk as his eyes rested upon Morgan. “Aww, did you hear I was here, and you rushed over to
see if I had come to take you home too, Morgan?” he said spitefully, and a deep growl came from Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Findnøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.Marc, but Morgan pulled him back stepping forward as Miles continued. “Realized your fated mate
can’t live up to what you so desperately wanted before?”
“Take me home? I don’t think so.” Morgan said coldly, but confidently. “What I so desperately
wanted? Get over yourself. I wanted you for all of about five minutes, Miles. It did not take me long
to see sense. I would not touch you now. I might fucking catch something, because fuck knows
where you have been. I know what a real man is now, and it most definitely is not you. Seems
Bailey does too.” And Morgan glanced toward where Asher was sitting, with a smirk. Wow. She was
definitely more confident. I had never seen her stand up to Miles that way, and going off the look of
shock upon his face, neither had he. I have to say I loved this side of my sister – she kicked ass!
Marc stood behind his mate, a big smile upon his face, looking prouder than ever. But Miles looked
dismissively toward Morgan, like her words meant nothing, before he turned to me. “Seems to be an
awful lot of people rushing to protect you, Bailey. You been telling lies again?” he said, raising his
brows accusingly. “I suppose all of you don’t know how good Bailey is at telling lies, do you? Making
people believe things that didn’t really happen. Like, me rejecting her, when in truth it was her
rejecting me?” he looked at me with a smirk, but what bothered me more was the eyes of Caleb,
Marc and Asher all fell on me with confusion and doubt.
Surely they were not believing his fucking words after everything they knew?!
