Chapter 388
Judy’s POV
“My wolf will heal, a medic isn’t necessary,” I assured them as we walked into the resort health clinic. It was crowded with all the competitors getting medical attention; some in worse shape than others. “Save the staff for someone who needs it.”
“It’s required amongst all participants,” Alpha Levi told me as he stared aimlessly at his phone, as if he had no other care in the world. I sat on the medical bed, staring up at the ceiling, feeling way more exposed than I wanted to feel. I still wore a blanket draped over my shoulders, covering my naked body, but I still felt odd without any clothing. It shouldn’t be a big deal because we are shifters after all and shifters are naturally comfortable in the nude. But I’ve never been one of them.
I still had a little thing called modesty. Kk
“You’ll be recruited by several packs,” Levi told me, his eyes never leaving his phone. “I hope you choose wisely. You are now a part of the Elite Force.”
“Do I have to choose right now?” I asked, nibbling my lip. “I’m still in school for another half a year and I’d like to finish it.”
Levi nodded, his eyes still fixed on his phone, as if he wasn’t interested in a thing I was saying. I pressed my lips together, biting my tongue.
“Yes, of course. Finish school and when you make a decision on where you want to be, reach out to me.”
“You?” I asked, raising my brows.
No offense to him, and I knew he was a Lycan, but I had access to Gavin Landry, who was the most powerful of the Lycan chairmen, so having gone to Levi seemed pointless.
He finally looked up from his phone, his eyes narrowed.
“When it comes to the Gamma Elite Force, I’m in charge,” he told me, his eyes darkening with something I couldn’t figure out. It gave me an uneasy feeling though. I wanted to question him about that; just because they appointed him in charge of this competition, doesn’t mean he was solely in charge of the Gamma Elite Force.
Before I could say another word, the door swung open. I was relieved to see Nan and Irene returning; they left so they could find me some clothes. When I saw the shorts and tank top in Irene’s hand, I let out a breath of relief.
“I got clothes,” she sang as she approached my bedside.
Nan was frowning when she noticed the look on Alpha Levi’s face.
“I hope we aren’t interrupting,” she said, his brows pinched together.
“Not at all,” I say, grabbing the clothes from Irene and sliding off the bed. “I’m just going to change in the bathroom.”
I walked into the bathroom on the far side of the room and quickly changed. When I looked at myself in the mirror, sighed. I had scratches and bites all over my face and neck. They weren’t mating marks, but marks indicating that I was just in a fight. I reached my hand, wincing at the tender flesh.
Some of the weapons were laced in wolfbane, that much was clear to me now. I wondered how many of them were and what the purpose of that was.
I left the bathroom to find Levi seated in the corner still on his phone. Nan and
Irene were seated near my bed, waiting for me.
“How are you feeling?” Nan asked as I got back into the medical bed.
“My face hurts,” I told her. “I think some of the weapons used had wolfsbane.”
Levi looked up from his phone, a smirk on his face.
“Not everyone noticed,” he replied. “Some of the competitors also had wolfsbane laced claws.”
“What?” I gasped.
He nodded, a light chuckle escaping his lips.
“There were no rules this round,” he reminded me. “They could do whatever they wanted. As could you.”
That could have been seriously dangerous, but I guess that was kind of the point. Soon, one of the medics came into the room and assessed my injuries. He gave me a cream that helps heal my cuts and scratches and then checked over the rest of my body before sending me on my way.
As soon as I left the health clinic, I was bombarded by even more paparazzi, thankfully, Levi was there to get me through the crowd, leaving questions unanswered. He guided me into a private area where there were a few men waiting for me, including the other Lycans, which also meant Gavin was there too.
