Book:The Badass and The Beta Published:2025-2-8

Jayson P. O. V.
I started walking out of the door. I closed it, locked it up, and walked toward the steps.
Once I parked the truck in the school parking lot. I usually go pick up Ashely, but I needed to think.
So, when we have that talk. I know something to say to her. I put my truck in park.
I started to turn off the engine and unsnap the seatbelt. I swing the door open. I got out, started shutting my door, and walked away toward the school.
In class, I heard Miss Weber, the math teacher. She is filling in for Mrs. Waters who is still on leave from having her baby boys. My father and my uncle’s best friend, Andy Waters. So, Miss. Weber, me, and she had a one-month thing. I am walking into her classroom. I could see she was still trying to get my attention, but I wished I had never slept with her.
“Good morning, Jayson; how you been,” I heard her say. Then she said something I could listen to.
I miss you, lover. I thought maybe we could talk after school?” She asks me. The old me would take up her offer, but now I think I will be sick. I now have Ashely.
Fuck! Why did I even go after this bitch.
“Miss. Weber, I think no,” I told her and walked away from her. I heard her gasp, and I didn’t see her face, but I could tell she was unhappy.
Damn it, why can’t she just be a regular teacher again instead of flirting with me and whoever has a dick in this school. But lately, I have been trying to be a good mate for my girl. She is the only one I want from now on.
“Hey! Jase, what’s up, bro.” I heard Matthew, and I saw my cousin and the rest of the guys sitting in the back. I could see how happy Avery made them.
Damn, I am jealous. I know they and I were not friendly to the poor girl. But, I knew something was going on when I found out that my cousin and best friends were always bullying her.
I didn’t know why we even did it to the girls. But now, seeing how they cradle and protect her like she is the most important thing in their lives. It’s weird seeing them acting like this. But now Eli is the only one who doesn’t have that with our mates.
Well, I mean, I will. Once Ashely and I get there with the trust and acceptance, we as mates. I want what my cousin and my friends have.
I didn’t see Eli and Avery, another friend? I think her name starts with N. I was about to ask when I saw Ashely walk in the door.
I didn’t take my eyes off her. That was when I turned my eyes, and I saw Miss. Weber Angela, that’s the bitch’s name. I see her eyes on Ashely. I could see the expression on her face. So, that’s why you’re not coming back to me? I could read it in her face.
I need not show her I don’t care about Ashely. Then I saw Angela smirk, and she started walking towards Ashely’s desk. Ashely is already sitting down in the front of the classroom on the other side of the room.
“Miss Williams! Tell me why you are late for my classroom?” Angela asks her.
Ashely looks up and sees her standing in front of her desk. So that is when my and Ashely’s classmates started staring over at Ashley and the bitch.
Damn bitch. She had to say it so everyone could hear her being rude to Ashely in her classroom.
” Hello, Miss. Weber, my, it’s a beautiful day.” I saw Ashely say with no smile on her expression. Wow, she could see right through the bitch with her friendly oar.
“They’re something you need, Miss Weber?” Ashely said with a fake smile.
Damn, my girl is one badass rebel. I chuckled, and I have pride knowing my girl doesn’t take anyone’s shit.
“No, Miss. Williams, but remember next time, get a note when you are late for my classroom. Is that clear?” Angela demanded, a murderous look in her eyes, staring at my princess. I had to hold back, or I would rip her to pieces if she hurt my mate.
“Crystal’s ma’am,” I heard Ashely say with a cocky grin.
Angela stared at her a little longer and then turned away, and she walked into the front of the classroom.
Okay, class, I will give you a pop quiz!”
We all moan because we hate pop quizzes.
What a fucking bitch” I heard someone say behind me.
“Yeah, dragon woman needs to get laid.”
“Fuck I do her to help us all out.” I heard one of the guys on the football team.
“Hell, I heard she gives a good blow job; I do it for free.” I heard another one. I heard them talking back and forth about how hot and sexy Miss. Weber is.
Yes, she is, but they have no idea how a real person she is?
“Hell yeah. I heard Jaze say.
“But nooo..” You didn’t want to listen to me. You listen to your dick!” He said, growling at me.
“I told you to stay the fuck away from her, Jase!” He said, knowing he was right.
“Now she wants to hurt our mate.
“You had to fuck her, didn’t you.” Jaze is still running his mouth.
“Okay, I know already!
“Shut the fuck up already.
I got to think about what I am going to do about this.” I told him.
“And nobody is going to hurt our mate, alright.”
I went back to watch and keep an eye on Miss. Weber and I saw she was going after Ashely because of me.
So, I need to get her attention off Ashley. I know what I have to do. I could hear Jaze whining, and he started yelling at me inside my mind.
I turned my head, and I was staring at my girl. But I knew she would never forgive me for what I was about to do.
What if I could just talk to her.
No! We have to protect our mates no matter what happens.
That was when Jaze sighed, and he knew what we had to do.
I had one thought.
” I am sorry.”
