Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0284

I woke up from snoozing, and found Asher crashed out in the chair next to my bed. He still had not left my side. Despite every reassuring word the doctor could give him, he had chosen not to leave me. We had marked one another last night, so were now officially mates, and I can only say it feels beyond amazing. More than I could ever have imagined. This is what I wanted in life, I had realized while lying there, watching him sleep.

A mate who loves me for who I am. With no judgment. Who doesn't try to change me. Who cares for me, protects me, and makes me feel adored. Asher does all of those things and more. It seemed I had wanted a mate, and I never knew. But I had also wanted a place I could call home. A place I felt safe, felt secure and content, and Lotus Shadow Pack had not been that in a long time. Autumn Valley Pack had given me that security almost as soon as I walked in, in a way I couldn't explain, and that only developed the closer I became to Asher, and as my friendships within the pack bloomed. Fate and the moon goddess seemed to have messed up when fating me to Miles, but, in a bitter-sweet-twisted intervention, things were somehow realigned in me finding my way here to find Asher. To find the other half of my soul; because that is what it felt like. Yes, he drove me wild in the beginning, but now I know that was because he was feeling lost. He was feeling broken, just like I was. We fixed one another. That darkness that had lingered around him had long since faded, and now all I saw was light. Happiness. And that is what he brought into my life too.

The doctor walked into my room with a smile upon his face as he looked at Asher. "Wow, such a handsome fella when he is sat there snoring." He chuckled. "Though I think we can let him off when he has been here since the moment you arrived, worrying sick, and I don't think he has even slept."

I nodded, I felt guilty for that, but if anything, it just proved my point that this man cared for me like no other man could. He was dedicated to me, and I wanted to be the same for him.

"Well, I have some good news for you dear, you are good to go home. I think the marking helped you heal. We were not sure if it was, as Luna was asking, suggesting Beta try while you were unconscious, but he refused to without your permission, when we could not guarantee it would help. But, it seemed it really did help. Those last wounds seem to be healed up now. Your stats are stable. All looking good. But, I would say to not overdo it for a day or so. And if you feel unwell, you can always come back. I imagine this big doofus here will be making sure you are okay, and ensuring you get checked if there are any issues."

I had to say I was shocked at his words. I had no clue Eden had been trying to convince Asher to mark me, but again, the fact he was considering me while wanting to do what was right only made me love him more. The doctors couldn't tell him making me would help me heal, and he hadn't wanted

to do that without knowing it was what I wanted. I don't think he could be more perfect...

"Thank you doctor." I smiled up at

him, I could not wait to go home, no

matter what they may try and tell

e

you, there is no chance of gaining any rest in a hospital. All the chaos going on, and being checked on every few minutes for one thing or another.

"Not a problem." He nodded, and as he moved toward the door, he looked back at me. "Congratulations on becoming our Beta's mate, am truly happy for you. I won't lie, we worried about him for a while. He is a good man, and despite all he went through he still managed his role of Bêta valiantly, despite feeling like he was falling apart. He deserves good things. I can see the happiness you bring to him, Miss West."

Asher cleared his throat from next to us, and the doctor looked across to him awkwardly, evidently not realizing he had been listening. "I was just saying how happy I was for you both."Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Asher raised his brows accusingly. "Hmm, so I heard." He muttered sleepily.

"The doctor told me I can go home." I informed him, and his face instantly lit up.

"She is okay? No more concerns?"

"Everything is fine, Beta. She will be okay. Just keep an eye on her for a day or so." The doctor nodded. before moving out of the room, likely wanting to make a quick escape after his faux-pas.

"Well, let me get my mate home then!" Asher exclaims, almost jumping from his seat.
