Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 291

I begin to cook some breakfast for Lilah and myself, giving her some space as I knew she was upset. Jake had linked me to say they were back so I asked him to make their way up here, time to get this over with and explain our unusual situation. I honestly think they are going to be happy, but at the same time confused as to why she doesn’t want a mate…

I just hope that is something I can overcome… I want to kill that dick for the trauma him and his mate have caused to her….nobody should have to go through what she has had to, yeah teenage break ups happen but the mind games afterwards weren’t normal and the literal bullying and torture she has endured since plus bordering on alienation from her pack at their hands…. I had no intention of her ever going back there….

I plated the bacon sandwiches I had made us, putting them onto a tray with the mugs of coffee I had just brewed and walked toward the living room. Just as Jake and the guys walked through the front door, I had told him to let themselves in…

As I walked into the living room I glanced around not able to see Lilah, but my eyes were drawn to the balcony doors….Fuck No!!!

I flung the tray to Jake, running toward the balcony, catching site of her stood at the edge, her long blond hair flowing behind her, I have no choice….

“GET DOWN NOW LILAH” I yelled using my Alpha tone.

A tone only an Alpha had that held such authority and dominance that anyone in the room would feel, and would be impossible to ignore or disobey. I avoided the use of my Alpha tone and aura unless absolutely necessary, hating the effect it had on others, The aura seeping from me right now was beyond powerful but I had no other choice as I’d feared I wouldn’t have reached Lilah in time

otherwise.

She was ready to jump, I am certain of that… she was frozen to the spot, I ran to her, taking her in my arms, I could feel her body shaking, instantly Jake and Gabe were by my side.

“What happened?” Gabe said, I could see tears in his eyes.

“Knox?” Jake asked.

“Can

you give us a minute?” Lask them.

They both look to Lilah, then to me and nod, before walking back into the living room, I can see Indie

is there too, sobbing into Dan’s chest. Manuel is stood in silence, his eyes not moving from Lilah.

“Lilah why?” I ask, feeling tears in my own eyes.

“I cant do this Knox.” She simply states. “My friend, my only friend left hates me now….I’m alone…. there is an emptiness to her eyes, and I pull her close to me, never wanting to let her go.

“Oh sweet, you are not alone, not anymore. She is not your only friend, you have all of us, and trust me she doesn’t hate you.” Tears were flowing from my eyes as I held her to me. I cant believe if I had

been a minute later…. “Lilah I cant lose you….i have only just found you…..” she was trembling in my

arms.

“I don’t think I want a mate though Knox” she says.

“It doesn’t mean I don’t want you though Lilah. And even if you don’t want me, it doesn’t mean I don’t want you in my life. I cant lose you, I mean that. You scared me….” I kissed her head gently.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to carry on Knox” she looks up at me, I see fear in her eyes….

“You don’t have to be scared Lilah, whether you want me as your mate I am going to be there to help you though all this I promise, as a friend ok? Knight may be a little more protective and clingy than when we first expected but I’ll do my best to keep that under control. You are not on your own sweet” I reassure her ” first thing we need to do is go tell your friends in there whats going on so they have your back too, ok?”

She looks at me, sheer terror in her eyes. “They will hate me Knox…” she sobs. “I have loved being part of this for the last few weeks… having friends as well as Indie….I had an escape…I saw a way out other than….” She looked down. She didn’t need to finish her sentence, I knew what she meant. While I didn’t know how the others were going to react to what I had to tell then I was going to do my best to make sure they were relatively ok with it…..

Need you guys to be open minded now, please don’t get angry and let us speak… I mind link them all in the living room before helping Lilah to her feet. I stand myself up, reach for her hand and walk to where my friends are all stood, concern clear on all their faces. I know what they have just witnessed in itself will have shook them up as much as it did me so I hope when they hear the details of what Lilah has been going though they will understand….

“Oh Angel” Manuel is instantly by Lilah’s side, brushing her hair back from her face “you scared us…..” he was biting his lower lip, I had a feeling holding back tears. Gabe was by his cousin squeezing his

shoulder.

“Lilah I am sorry if this is my fault” Indie was crying, pushing Manuel out of the way to give her friend

“It isn’t your fault. I just can’t take anymore…I’m tired Indie… I thought I’d lost you…. I thought I was alone….“Lilah whispered, though whispering in a room full of werewolves was pointless as our hearing meant we heard everything, I could see the guys looking at Lilah, then to me in confusion….

“Chica, you aren’t alone, you have us, no?” Gabe spoke quietly, his cheery voice no longer there, replaced by one full of concern for his friend, I knew he had a soft spot for both Lilah and Indie like younger sisters I think.

“I think we need to explain some things, shall we sit down?” I suggest, the sooner we get this out of

the way the better. I lead Lilah to one of the large recliner armchairs, the temptation to sit down and have her sit on my knee was overwhelming, but instead I motion for her sit herself down, she does so,

kicking off her shoes, then curling her feet up under herself on the chair. I sit myself on the arm of the chair next to her, while I cant have her on my knee I need to be close to her.

Dan has taken the other recliner armchair, and done as I had wanted to with Lilah, but with Indie, she

was wrapped up in his arms on his knee, looking safe and content in the arms of her mate. Will Lilah

ever feel like that with me? I find myself thinking.

Gabe, Manuel and Jake have sat themselves on the sofa opposite us. All of them are looking at me in

expectation….I can feel Lilah trembling beside me, I reach out for her and put my arm around her

shoulder….

Knox? Jake links me

Well here goes….
