Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0273

I lay in my bed, the doctor still talking to me, explaining the treatment they had given, but I was barely listening. My mind was on the fact Asher had stormed so angrily from my room. My eyes found themselves frequently drifting to the door in the hopes he would return. I couldn't help but wonder if he had been about to actually tell me he loved me before the doctor disturbed us. Not that it matters right now.

Right now it seemed he didn't want to be here. I felt numb. I don't know if that was from my injuries or from the pain I felt from what had just happened with Asher, and without the ability to mindlink him, I had no way of reaching out to him to check he was okay.

"Are you okay, dear?" the doctor asked, interrupting my thoughts. "I am sure the Beta is fine. He is known for being a little tempestuous. Has been since he lost his mate. They do say losing a mate can destroy a man, and I think with Beta Asher it truly did. But, I wouldn't worry. He soon gets over things, and is back to his ever-charming self." The doctor was smiling at me. Yeah, that sounded like the Asher I had first met. But not the Asher I had come to know. The Asher that had been opening up to me...

"I will be fine. I think I just want to rest." I lied. I just wanted him to go. Leave me alone. The doctor nodded in agreement, when suddenly we heard a commotion out in the hallways. The doctor's eyes narrowed in confusion, before his eyes met mine.

He quickly stood and walked toward the door. “Let me go and see what is happening. There should not be that amount of noise in the hospital.” "You are not fit to see her!" I heard Asher's voice roar, and I had a sinking feeling I knew exactly who he was yelling at. I felt sick at the prospect...

smile. "Well, I think we may have found the Beta." And with that he excused himself. Yes. We had found Asher. He had gone to deal with the worst possible scenario. Mites had arrived to take me home, and I could only imagine the arguments

“I am her mate. Her upcoming Alpha. Who is more fit to see her if not me?" the voice of the one person I did not want to see again, who was loud and confident in standing up to Asher. This was definitely not going to end well.

"You are not her mate, you fucking

fool. You rejected her. That means you are done. She isn't yours. You don't own her." Asher's voice was the angriest I had ever heard, and loud too, despite the fact I was listening through the walls of my room. I hated that the whole of the hospital were likely listening to their conversation right now. We'd be the pack's source of gossip for the next few weeks, no doubt...

"Well, she sure as hell is not yours, or this pack's." Miles growled.

“Enough!” I heard a third voice, one I am almost certain was Alpha Caleb. He sounded pissed off. Extremely pissed off. “This back and forth is getting you nowhere. Miles, you came here for a reason, so get it over with." He snapped.

My heart sank as I realized what his words meant. Alpha Caleb had allowed Miles into the pack. He had let him in to take me home. I had hoped he would offer me protection, but it seemed he was standing by the pack protocols here...

Suddenly, the door swung open, and
