hapter 0164 She was trembling and keeping her eyes on her open wound .<\/p>\n
I wrapped my arms around her , hating how tense she was from my touch .<\/p>\n
I pulled her into me and lifted her into my arms .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Take me to your bathroom , I ordered Raymond .<\/p>\n
Yes , Alpha , he said quickly as he rushed out of the dining hall .<\/p>\n
I followed after him , not bothering to spare the mother and daughter duo another look .<\/p>\n
As we walked down the hallway , I heard a loud gasp from nearby .<\/p>\n
Judy ?? Michele exclaimed .<\/p>\n
What happened ? Are you okay ? Im okay , Mom , she said weakly .<\/p>\n
Just a little cut .<\/p>\n
Shes losing a lot of blood .<\/p>\n
I need to patch it before she loses anymore , I said as I continued to follow Raymond down the hall .<\/p>\n
We entered the bathroom and just as Raymond was about to say something more , I slammed the door in his face .<\/p>\n
I let out a breath of air .<\/p>\n
Judy was still tense , and her eyes were fixed on her wound .<\/p>\n
I set her down on the counter as I searched the bathroom for a first aid kit .<\/p>\n
It didnt take long to find one under the sink You dont have to do this , Judy said , breaking the silence .<\/p>\n
I glanced up at her briefly before I rummaged through the first aid kit , uncovering bandages and ointment .<\/p>\n
Do you expect me to let you bleed out ? I asked her in return .<\/p>\n
She shrugged her shoulder , but she said nothing .<\/p>\n
I grabbed her hand and turned on the water to the sink.<\/p>\n
The moment my hand wrapped around her wrist , she tensed and made it impossible for me to move her .<\/p>\n
I frowned at her .<\/p>\n
Just let me take care of you , I breathed , my body becoming so aware of hers that I was practically on fire .<\/p>\n
She stared into my eyes for a moment longer before relaxing herself .<\/p>\n
I brought her hand to the warm water and started to rinse out her wound .<\/p>\n
She winced from the sting and her body tensed once again , but it only lasted a moment .<\/p>\n
Soon , she was relaxing again , and she was releasing a breath of relief .<\/p>\n
I ran circles with my thumb around her wrist , soothing her , as I cleaned her wound .<\/p>\n
With each stroke of my thumb , she relaxed even more and I notice she was now looking at me periodically .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Why are you here? She asked , breaking the thick silence that started to consume us .<\/p>\n
I grabbed the bandages , along with some ointment that will keep her wound from getting infected .<\/p>\n
I came here for you .<\/p>\n
\u2013 Chapter of I dont think she was expecting that reply because she sucked in a sharp breath and her eyes grew wide .<\/p>\n
You what ? I paused and looked up at her , meeting her eyes .<\/p>\n
I was wrong , I told her , keeping my eyes locked on hers .<\/p>\n
About everything .<\/p>\n
I shouldnt have accused you of hurting my son .<\/p>\n
I know you arent capable of something so sinister like that .<\/p>\n
I should have listened to you instead of kicking you out .<\/p>\n
Im here to apologize to you .<\/p>\n
She was quiet for a long while as she continued to stare into my eyes .<\/p>\n
I broke eye contact so I could continue tending to her wound .<\/p>\n
I applied the ointment , and she winced at the sting as she too refocused her attention on her injury .<\/p>\n
I wrapped her hand tightly , making sure her wound was closed .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
Thank you , she finally said , breaking the silence once again .<\/p>\n
For wrapping my hand and for apologizing \u2026 I should have done so sooner , I told her , meeting her eyes .<\/p>\n
Apologize I mean .<\/p>\n
Sending Taylor to you was stupid and a cowardly thing to do .<\/p>\n
She bit back a smile , but I could see it forming on her lips as her cheeks turned red.<\/p>\n
Yes , it was , she agreed .<\/p>\n
But you did the right thing .<\/p>\n
And its a good thing you came when you Kelsey is crazy .<\/p>\n
Who knows what more she would have done if you hadnt entered .<\/p>\n
I didnt want to think about such a thing .<\/p>\n
did .<\/p>\n
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 .<\/p>\n
She furrowed her brows .<\/p>\n
What are you talking about ? She asked .noveldrama<\/p>\n
She has all the opportunity in the world .<\/p>\n
I kind of live with her now if you hadnt noticed .<\/p>\n
I smirked and leaned in closer to her , our lips only inches apart .<\/p>\n
I could feel her warm breath cascading across my mouth and warming my features .<\/p>\n
Not anymore you dont , I murmured before brushing my lips , featherlike , against hers .<\/p>\n
Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink as she sighed in contentment from the chaste kiss .<\/p>\n
Because from now on you are going to live with me .<\/p>\n
