Beauty and The Beta (Bailey) novel Chapter 285

“Slow down, I don’t need you near falling over again.” I teased.

‘Spoilsport.’ Akira joked. ‘I was looking forward to that.’

I used the en suite shower room to take a shower, and get myself dressed into the clothes that my sister had thankfully dropped off for me, before we walked from the hospital together hand in hand, being waved off by the doctors. It felt good to be back out in the fresh air, I had to admit, and was surprised to see Eden waiting for us with Alpha Caleb, and their little ones.

“Good morning!” Eden greeted me excitedly. “We just wanted to say congratulations. Do you feel better? Do you feel different now you are Asher’s mate? Aww, I can’t believe you guys are mates! That is such good news! Aww, my babies have you both now as Aunt and Uncle. You will come and visit when you feel up to it, yeah? I already told Alli you would need some time off to recover. You have been through a lot, so you need a rest.”

Asher and Caleb looked at one another before shaking their heads and laughing. “Did you breathe that time, Eden?” Asher teased, so I assumed her talking with so much information in one go was normal. I had noticed it a few times when we had chatted and thought it was quite funny.

“I have been worried about Bailey. And I have missed her. She is the Beta’s mate now!” Eden exclaimed. “Aww, Ash, you done well for yourself.” She smiled, and Asher smiled in response.

“I know I did. Not quite sure how I managed it to be honest.”

“Aww, really? You guys are a perfect match. Despite you being a grumpy fucker at times, Bailey is definitely good for you.” Alpha Caleb slapped Asher on the back.

I felt Asher’s touch tighten upon me, in what I assume was reassurance. “Come on then, let us head home. You are staying with me, so I can take care of you.” he told me, and I saw Eden and the Alpha smile, as they walked away.

We walked the rest of the way to the packhouse in a comfortable silence, my mind overrun with all the new information it had thrown at it so far. So much had changed in the last day or so, and things would be changing even further in the future, but I was ready for them. I was ready to be the Beta’s wife of Autumn Valley, and I was ready to put the past behind me, that was Miles and Lotus Shadow Pack. It was all irrelevant now. I had the man I wanted and he wanted me.

Asher opened the door to his Beta suite, letting me follow him in, before he turned to take my hand. “Welcome home, beautiful.” He whispered as he pulled me closer to him. I felt my body reacting to his the moment I fell into his embrace. “I cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.” He added, as he brought his lips to mine in a deep and passionate kiss.
