Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 267

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.’
