Beauty and The Beta (Bailey)

Chapter 0271

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...Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

'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...

'Hmm?' he responded, albeit sleepily. 'No? He turned up here? On my way.'

Fury rushed through me, while Zion was raging in my mind, which was never a good thing... What was Caleb thinking in allowing him into our pack, let alone bringing him to the hospital? He knew what that little shit was capable of. He knew that that sick fucker's ultimate mission was to take Bailey home with him; and I doubted he would stop until he had succeeded.

'Where is he Cal?' I asked, not seeing a sight of either of them, but a deep-seated hope that Caleb would be on his tail if he had rushed into the hospital: We did not need some jumped-up upcoming Alpha smashing our hospital up, putting out pack members at risk. I didn't want to believe that Caleb would have just allowed some self-entitled little bastard of an upcoming Alpha to storm our pack and crash our hospital. This little shit would be taken down, I had no doubt about that!

*Coming through the hospital now. You coming to meet us?' he asked.

'Too fucking right I am. Not a chance he is getting near Bailey.' I snapped.

'Where the hell else did he think we was going to be? With our feet up having a coffee?!' Zion snarled angrily in my mind, making me smirk. He was more than ready to go... ready to defend his girl. And so was I.

'I am allowing him the chance to talk to her before I detain him. Not that he knows that part yet. She needs to hear him out. Let him see this thing with them is done. Let him see she is moving on. Or, if she chooses, she returns with him.' Caleb said, and I felt anger becoming so out of control as Zion growled inside of my head. This was one of the few times he felt ready to turn upon his own Alpha. He was taking the man who had made her life a living hell for so long right to her door...
