Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 288

Epilogue - Asher

7 months later

“Asher, I hate you!” Bailey screamed, as she laid on the hospital bed, writhing in pain. And Zion chuckled in glee at the insults my mate was throwing my way, not to mention the pain she was inflicting upon me as she gripped my hand through each contraction. He seemed to be seriously enjoying my suffering...

“Is she meant to be this angry?” I muttered to one of the nurses, who looked at me with her eyebrows raised like I was some sort of monster. Okay, maybe I would just sit quietly. Now I seemed to have angered the nurse as well as my mate...

Zion once more was laughing. ‘Not so good at this are you?’ he teased. ‘Oh, big shot, Beta.’

‘You’re a Beta too, you freak.’ I snapped back, while my eyes met Bailey’s and, quite honestly, she looked like she was possessed.

‘Can childbirth turn a woman into a demon?’ Zion asked me. ‘Because right about now she looks pretty freaky, and I do not mean in a good way, like, we about to get freaky sort of a way…’

Wow. My wolf has officially lost it.

“Okay, Bailey, if you just try to slow your breathing a little.” the nurse calmly told my mate, and she turned the devil's glare upon the nurse.

“What do you think I am trying to do?!” she snapped.

The nurse simply smiled. “I know, and you are doing really well, but if we can slow it a little more, and on the next contraction, I think you can push.” She told her, and I looked at Bailey with anticipation.

“Aww, did you hear that Bai, you can push soon?” I told her. I knew she was more than ready for that. It felt like we had been in here for a lifetime already…

The death stare was back on me now as she hissed. “I will push you, if you’re not careful.”

I swear the nurse chuckled. And these are the staff I helped interview! Yet here she is laughing at my mate all but eating my heart out because she is in pain. Pain, which apparently was all my fault, according to the recent insults...

“Arrrrggghhhhh!” Bailey squealed out once more, the grip around my hand tightened, so damn hard I think my hand was about to snap right off. Though I had already learned to stay quiet about that…
