Being ordered to sit and allow this dick to have his say had been bad enough. But what broke me was the fact that Bailey had said she wanted to hear him out. She wanted to hear what he had to say. Zion whimpered the moment those words had left her mouth. Terror had filled every part of me. He had played on her loyalty to her pack. Even I could see that. Manipulating her emotions, I just hope she could see it too.
Bailey was loyal to a fault. And I would never criticize her for that, but it worried me that it meant she would find herself in a position she did not want to be. That it could mean we find one another apart…
But, her hand remained upon my arm as Miles tried his hardest to convince her, and the expression upon her face barely changed. She looked down at her hands fiddling with her fingers. I barely took my eyes from her, and I think I saw her look at Miles a matter of a few times, and there was no fear there. She was not scared of him, and she was standing up to him.
