Chapter 0130

“Didn’t you just leave?” I asked him with confusion.

Caleb grinned at me sarcastically. “Aww, and I love you too baby! So lovely to see your bright andbeautiful face!” he stuck his tongue out and blew a raspberry at me, the cheeky fucker, beforecontinuing. “However, I found someone on the corridor I thought you might like to see.”

He had my attention now. I know I had asked Bailey to come, so I wonder if it was her, thoughwould she have finished her work by now? Caleb motioned for someone to come into the room, andas he did Bailey walked into the room looking more than a little uncomfortable, bless her. Her eyesfell on me, and she smiled, so I grinned back. “Yay! Bailey!” I greeted her, so she knew I waspleased to see her, and there was no reason to feel uncomfortable.

Bot, then, for some reason, Asher began to move on the chair next to the bed, and began to clearhis throat, just as it looked like Bailey was about to speak “I will get going Eden. Leave you to spendtime with Bailey.” He said, appearing to be avoiding everyone’s gaze. What the hell was wrong withhim? I had been trying to make Bailey feel less uncomfortable, yet the moment she walks in, Asheracts like this? I swear this man needs classes in how to interact with people... he was never this badbefore...

“What?” I asked, unable to hide my surprise. “You just got here Ash, don’t be ridiculous. I can hold aconversation with more than one person at once, you know? I know it may be beyond your abilities,but I can manage it.”

Yet Asher appeared to ignore what I had said and continued to stand. Evidently still planning toleave. “Honestly sweetheart, it is fine, I will let you spend some time with Bailey. I can come backlater.”

I couldn’t help but frown. What was his rush to leave? “Sit down you idiot. You only just got here.Don’t be so rude!” I couldn’t help but snap at him, his behavior was downright ignorant. I had

already asked him to welcome Bailey to the pack and make her feel like she was welcome, yet thiscould not be further from that.

Asher fidgeted uncomfortably on the spot, still avoiding the gazes of us all, and now I could seeBailey was looking uncomfortable too. ‘Right fuckface.’ I snapped through the mindlink at Asher.‘What is going on, because I asked you to welcome the new girl, yet she arrives, and you arewanting to get away as soon as you can. Did you do something you shouldn’t? You better not havehad an argument with her already. You and that fucking temper of yours.’

‘Oh, back off Eden.’ Asher responded. ‘Mindlinking with her in the room is rude, is it not? Fine, if itbothers you so greatly, I will stay. Don’t expect me to talk much is all I will say.’

Asher dropped himself back down into the seat he had been sitting in, his face sulking like a toddlerthrowing a tantrum. I swear this man was like an overgrown man-child. A bit like his best friend andAlpha. The pack was being run by two oversized children...

I looked at Bailey, hoping to salvage the situation. I want her to like it here. She could be good forour school. Plus, I genuinely liked her, and thought we could be friends. “How are you? Did youhave a good day? Is everything good with you?” she smiled awkwardly, glancing over at Asher asshe did… hmmm, something seemed to be going on here. I didn’t know what it was, but I swear Iwould replace out…
