Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 271

Bailey was awake. The most wonderful feeling in the world; and I was hoping things were looking up for us. I had been about to tell her how I felt for her… well, more confirm what I think she had likely heard me declare while she was unconscious… until the bloody doctor chose that moment to walk in. Jeez, nothing like great timing. We sure didn’t seem to have much luck when it came to time alone…

And then the doctor decided to announce to Bailey I had done nothing but sit by her side like a lost puppy. Unable to eat. Unable to sleep. I am sure Bailey did not need to know that, and the doctor definitely did not need to be sharing that. It truly did not paint me in the best of lights, I am sure. I was just about to defend myself when a mindlink suddenly came through. One I had not been expecting, and one I most certainly did not want to hear.

‘Ash. He is here. He is on a mission to get her back.’ Caleb’s voice was blunt and to the point, even in the link, but my blood ran cold as his words hit me. Miles had chosen to come to our pack in a bid to claim Bailey? I felt a frown take over my face as Caleb continued. ‘Got things under control right now. He might act like a big hard man, and a bully, but he is dumb as fuck. He was the one causing shit at the gate. Though he is now rushing through the hospital. Be alert.’

My face twisted in anger as I quickly stormed from the room, not even explaining where I was going. I didn't have the time right now. No. I needed to go. I needed to go and stop this sick bastard before he got anywhere near Bailey. How fucking dare he turn up here thinking he can demand her back?! After everything he had done, too…

‘Marc, get your ass to the hospital.’ I mindlinked him quickly as I rushed down the corridor. ‘That sick fucker has arrived in hope to take Bailey home with him.’

I knew their home wasn't too far away, and also I knew we could rely on my former brother-in-law for protecting Bailey. He had done all he could so far to protect her. He would come without a doubt...
