She was trembling and keeping her eyes on her open wound .

I wrapped my arms around her , hating how tense she was from my touch .

I pulled her into me and lifted her into my arms .

She sucked in a sharp breath as she held onto me with her good hand and carefully positioned her injured hand away so she wouldnt get any blood on me .

Take me to your bathroom , I ordered Raymond .

Yes , Alpha , he said quickly as he rushed out of the dining hall .

I followed after him , not bothering to spare the mother and daughter duo another look .

As we walked down the hallway , I heard a loud gasp from nearby .

Judy ?? Michele exclaimed .

What happened ? Are you okay ? Im okay , Mom , she said weakly .

Just a little cut .

Shes losing a lot of blood .

I need to patch it before she loses anymore , I said as I continued to follow Raymond down the hall .

We entered the bathroom and just as Raymond was about to say something more , I slammed the door in his face .

I let out a breath of air .

Judy was still tense , and her eyes were fixed on her wound .

I set her down on the counter as I searched the bathroom for a first aid kit .

It didnt take long to find one under the sink You dont have to do this , Judy said , breaking the silence .

I glanced up at her briefly before I rummaged through the first aid kit , uncovering bandages and ointment .

Do you expect me to let you bleed out ? I asked her in return .

She shrugged her shoulder , but she said nothing .

I grabbed her hand and turned on the water to the sink.

The moment my hand wrapped around her wrist , she tensed and made it impossible for me to move her .

I frowned at her .

Just let me take care of you , I breathed , my body becoming so aware of hers that I was practically on fire .

She stared into my eyes for a moment longer before relaxing herself .

I brought her hand to the warm water and started to rinse out her wound .

She winced from the sting and her body tensed once again , but it only lasted a moment .

Soon , she was relaxing again , and she was releasing a breath of relief .

I ran circles with my thumb around her wrist , soothing her , as I cleaned her wound .

With each stroke of my thumb , she relaxed even more and I notice she was now looking at me periodically .

I tried to pretend I didnt notice , but I could feel the heat of her stare on the side of my face , and I had to fight the smile tugging at the corner of my lips .

Why are you here? She asked , breaking the thick silence that started to consume us .

I grabbed the bandages , along with some ointment that will keep her wound from getting infected .

I came here for you .

– Chapter of I dont think she was expecting that reply because she sucked in a sharp breath and her eyes grew wide .

You what ? I paused and looked up at her , meeting her eyes .

I was wrong , I told her , keeping my eyes locked on hers .

About everything .

I shouldnt have accused you of hurting my son .

I know you arent capable of something so sinister like that .

I should have listened to you instead of kicking you out .

Im here to apologize to you .

She was quiet for a long while as she continued to stare into my eyes .

I broke eye contact so I could continue tending to her wound .

I applied the ointment , and she winced at the sting as she too refocused her attention on her injury .

I wrapped her hand tightly , making sure her wound was closed .

I sent a link to Taylor to have his mate check over Judys wound in the morning When I finished , I released my hold on her , but I did so reluctantly .

Thank you , she finally said , breaking the silence once again .

For wrapping my hand and for apologizing … I should have done so sooner , I told her , meeting her eyes .

Apologize I mean .

Sending Taylor to you was stupid and a cowardly thing to do .

She bit back a smile , but I could see it forming on her lips as her cheeks turned red.

Yes , it was , she agreed .

But you did the right thing .

And its a good thing you came when you Kelsey is crazy .

Who knows what more she would have done if you hadnt entered .

I didnt want to think about such a thing .

did .

Good thing shell never get the chance to hurt you again , I muttered as I caged her in with my arms , staring back into her eyes .

She furrowed her brows .

What are you talking about ? She asked .

She has all the opportunity in the world .

I kind of live with her now if you hadnt noticed .

I smirked and leaned in closer to her , our lips only inches apart .

I could feel her warm breath cascading across my mouth and warming my features .

Not anymore you dont , I murmured before brushing my lips , featherlike , against hers .

Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink as she sighed in contentment from the chaste kiss .

Because from now on you are going to live with me .
