Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0267

My head felt like a storm was spinning through it... my whole body ached, even parts I didn't know could ache! I felt like I had been run over by a herd of elephants. What the hell had happened to me? I pried my eyes open tenderly, realizing in shock as my eyes attempted to focus that I was in a hospital room. I had been at the wedding not long ago, hadn't I? My eyes drifted to Asher... oh, Asher...

He did not look too great. He was anxiously pacing the floor of the room, his back currently to me. Had he been here long? Had I been here long? What had even happened? My mind was filled with questions that I was so desperately trying to find answers to, which was pretty difficult when it felt like I had a band of drum players currently residing in my head. We were in the car, I think...

My mind was such a blur of information. Flickers of images... rogues... fighting... screaming... blackness. Snippets of conversations I think had happened... but then, they just didn't seem to fit with the wedding... doctors... Asher... could they have been while I was here in the hospital? Is that possible? Eden... Morgan... Asher... oh... definitely Asher. Had he told me he loved me? Were they dreams? Can you dream if you're out of it?

I tried to speak, desperate to let Asher know I was okay... well, maybe not quite okay. I felt like a doll right now that has been through a washing machine, but I am awake, that has to be good, right? I tried again, but my throat felt tight, and my mouth dry. Asher was moving toward the bed, but his gaze toward the floor, I think he could be mindlinking.

'Zion knows. I told him.' Akira told me tiredly, she sounds as shattered as me right now. If I had been hurt, she had to have been using all her energy to attempt to heal me. Yet she still felt the need to tell Zion we were okay. Aww... seems the wolves were as close as we were. My heart warmed at the thought.

'Thanks. I think he is mindlinking.' I told her.

'Yep. Zion said he is. He was trying to get his attention, but he is gossiping with the Alpha. He'd hate to interrupt their lovefest.'

I smirked at her description. She

may be tired, but she was still her usual charming self, it seemed. I watched as Asher suddenly dropped into the chair next to the bed, and his eyes suddenly met mine. The shock within them was so adorable I could have hugged him if moving did not hurt like a bastard, His eyes were darting all over me, like he was checking if it was really me, though who else it would be I was unsure.

"Bailey!" he stuttered, like he was struggling to get his words out, and I couldn't help but smile. But I think it came out more as a grimace of pain too, as I moved my leg too quickly under the sheet and it hurt. It seemed Akira's healing had only done so much. I was still badly bruised right now...

"You are awake!" he said excitedly, reaching over to gently stroke my face, his touch making me sigh in contentment. I had missed him so much. I smiled up at him again, while he suddenly spoke again, causing me to jump slightly. "I should let the doctor know!"

I was not sure where that idea came

from, but he obviously decided it was urgent as he rushed from the© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

bed to the door. "Doctor!" he all but yelled, as watched him almost tripping up over his own feet in desperate attempt to make it to the then

door in a hurry. Not to mention

almost smacking himself in the face with the door as he opened the door, once again in a little too much of a rush. I had to hold back a giggle. He was the sweetest.

'I think I'd like to see him do that again.' Akira giggled, and I held back a smile at her teasing of Asher. He was just excited we were awake, right?

"Doctor! Doctor, she is awake!" Asher yelled down the corridor, I assumed to the doctor, but at the volume he was shouting I think the whole of the pack had likely been awoken by his announcement. I am sure the whole pack wanted to know I was awake; and even if they didn't, Asher had clearly decided they were going to know anyway!

'Wow. That was interesting. He is a weird one.' Akira announced, before curling up within my mind to snooze, as Asher turned back towards the bed and began making his way to me. I once again couldn't help but smile. He is so perfect, and while Akira may be right, he may be a little weird, and I had no clue what that had been all about, he was adorable.
