Taken By The Demon Alpha
Chapter 33

Beth’s POV.

Beth let out a relief breath the moment she made it into the bathroom and settled against the toilet seat, her cheeks still burning with sheer embarrassment. Waking up to that man scrutiny has to be the last thing she was expecting that morning. It’s crazy that he was in her dreams doing things to her and even more crazier that she woke up to find him just a breath away from her face and even more? asking about it.

What was he planning, to make her die of embarrassment? because she sure as hell felt like she had forgotten how to breathe properly under those questioning gaze of his. Beth was petrified and at the same time giddy.

Her body had reacted in a manner that both told her she had enjoyed his presence in her dreams as much as the attention she has gotten even though she hated to admit it.

She let out another breath and began to ease the tension in her bladder into the toilet before she made to grab some tissue and wipe herself clean with it. Once she was done, she pulled her oversized shirt down and made to walk out the door but paused midway when she felt a sharp pain surge through her abdomen like lightening.

Biting against her lower lips, she held back whatever scream was trying to tear through her mouth as she seek for support against the tile wall while taking deep breath. A moment of relief had her taking another step towards the door and thinking the initial pain to be nothing before she was hit by another pain, this time it was far more stronger than the first and followed by warm fluid sliding down her thighs.

“Oh crap” She cussed under her breath,while gasping out in panic with both eyes almost bulging out of its socket at the sight before her. A moment went by before she realized the loud scream threatening to bring down the roof was actually erupting from her mouth.

The door was almost knocked down with Asher barging in to stand before her in a protective stance. His nails already transformed into claws and ready to slice through whatever was causing her pain but paused abruptly when he was faced with a trembling Beth rather than a possible threat of some sort. With raised hands still suspended in mid air, his dark eyes bleed back into their original normal color when he took in her posture leaning against the wall more carefully.

“Are you bleeding?” Asher had asked, his brows furrowed in confusion as he continued to stare at her with his head slightly cocked to the side.

“I don’t know what happened,I just..I was just.. Crap” She hissed under her breath, the moment she got hit by another wave of pain that almost send her crashing against the toilet sink yet again but was held midway by Asher who was quick on reflex before pulling her against his own body for support.

“Is it the pregnancy?” He questioned with raised brow, his voice strained as he stared wide eyes at the floor now covered in b***d. The way he looked at her with questioning eyes, made her wondered if he somehow thought she did something to cause the sudden bleeding, causing her to gulp nervously before answering with the shake of the head.

“I swear to God, I didn’t do anything to it. I didn’t. I just realized I was blee…bleeding. I really swear it” She cried, tears starting to pool in her eyes rather quickly as she stared up at him.

Without further questioning, he reached under her legs and sweep her into his arms, bridal style and began to hurry outside the door. With her hands clutching the fabric of his shirt as though her life depended on it, Beth couldn’t help but bury her face into his chest as she continued to hiss in pain over and over again while his foot steps quicken even more as he hurried down the endless corridors.

“What happened?” She heard a female voice asked after a couple minutes of rushing around before she was being lowered against the surface of what she could only understand to be a bed.

“I don’t know but I think something is wrong with the child she is carrying” Asher said with a bit of irritation in his voice as he stared down at her, still squirming in pain.

“Don’t move, child” The lady voice demanded softly but the pain that followed after that request had her struggling even more. The pain was becoming unbearable with each passing moment as she curl and tried to roll off the bed unconsciously.

“Can you hold her down while I give her something to stop the bleeding?” The lady attending to her demanded and Asher replied with a nod before two strong arms gripped her by the shoulders, pinning her against the bed as well.

In a matter of another minute, her skin already felt damp against the bed from all her struggling, her limps starting to shiver from the aches spreading across her lower body just as rapidly like wild fire and burning her out as she was left as dried as the Sahara desert.

Asher was clearly disturbed by her current condition as he kept murmuring incoherent words to himself over and over again not what what he can do to help. Not once did he grimace or wince in pain when she unconsciously dung her nails rather painfully into the flesh of his arms that were still supporting her on the narrow bed.

A moment of hesitation on the nurse part had Asher growling at the woman impatiently. “What’s taking so f*****g long, do you need help? Or do i have to fix everything around here myself”

“I’m sorry Alpha but I just need you to hold her for me while i get the dosage ready”

“Well, hurry the hell up” Asher growled rather threateningly as he glared at the woman who only nod in understanding.

Another minute went by before Beth felt a sharp object prick her bottom as she let out a weak shirk in return, a moment slip by and the aches spreading throughout her body start to grow dull, clearly an effect from the medication she was given. Finally she could breathe a lot easier now and soon she was lured into a drowsy state before passing out completely while still holding on to Asher’s cloth.

**

Day turned into night pretty quickly while lying in that bed as she kept drifting between staying awake and going unconsciousness once again but each time she did as much as open her eyes, she would notice Asher hovering over her like a damn shadow or just pacing around aimlessly. And each time she tries to speak or call out to him, she’d fine herself drifting into yet another peaceful slumber.

Beth could tell the lady that attended to her was a nurse or probably a doctor, she wasn’t sure but whatever she had given her was strong enough to ease the pain and even keep her sedated the entire time till that very moment.

Beth woke up the next day in that same bed with a momentarily confusion. Her eye lids still heavy from the medication she was given, looking down at herself, she realized she wasn’t wearing much of any clothing, only a blue maternity gown was attached to her body with nothing underneath which is probably understandable given the state she was brought in days ago.

She lay back for a moment with her eyes darting around in search of everyone wondering if she was really alone or not. She later realized it was just her. Staring out the window, she noticed the sun setting in the distance, making her wonder how long she has been in that bed.

She was still trying to figure out her thoughts before a particular one crossed her mind and she jerk upward, her hands flying to rest against her stomach with mouth hanging low.

Just about then, the lady who had attended to her walked in and stood beside her bed with a kind smile on her face as she peered back at her. “I can see you are fully awake now. How do you feel?”

She gulped nervously before replying, “I feel fine but I’m a little worried not sure what had happened to me”

“There is no need to worry too much my dear. You had a minor complication in your pregnancy which had caused your bleeding in the first place. But not to worry, you are in perfect condition now” she reassured her with a smile and Beth replied with a nod.

“And the pregnancy? What happened to the child i’m carrying?” The word felt rather heavy as it rolled off her tongue, suddenly afraid of what her answer might be and certainly not sure if she was equally ready to hear it but still she felt rather curious not knowing what had happened.

The lady was about to answer when Asher walked right in and stood beside her, his eyes narrowing down at Beth’s troubled ones.

“What do you think happened to the child, Elizabeth?” He asked with a single brow raised at her and she swallowed hard. Lump suddenly forming in her throat even, as she stared back at Asher.
