Chapter 0321 I should have been there , Nan whispered , lifting her gaze .<\/p>\n
If Sammy hadnt told me what had happened \u2026 I wouldnt have known .<\/p>\n
Im such a terrible best friend .<\/p>\n
Why werent you there ? I found myself asking , needing a distraction .<\/p>\n
I didnt want her to think she was at fault .<\/p>\n
because I knew Judy wouldnt want that , but I needed to think about something else other than the fact that she was lying on an operating table right now .<\/p>\n
I was dealing with something , Nan sighed , leaning back in her seat .<\/p>\n
She ran her hands up her arm , like she was trying to warm herself and that was when I saw the handprint marks on her forearm .<\/p>\n
Without thinking , I grabbed her wrist , careful not to hurt her .<\/p>\n
She startled and turned her widening eyes in my direction .<\/p>\n
Are those bruises ? I asked in a low tone .<\/p>\n
She pulled her arms away and covered them with her sleeves .<\/p>\n
Its nothing .<\/p>\n
It was an accident , she told me a little too quickly .<\/p>\n
An accident ? I asked .<\/p>\n
Thats not an accident .<\/p>\n
Who did that to you ? Its nobody , she told me , more adamantly this time .<\/p>\n
Like I said \u2026 it was an accident .<\/p>\n
He was angry and I went to walk away , and he grabbed my arm to stop me .<\/p>\n
I bruise easily .noveldrama<\/p>\n
Who ? I asked again , my tone was more forceful this time I was seconds away from using my Lycan powers on her and forcing the information out of her .<\/p>\n
Look I know you are smitten with Judy or whatever , but that doesnt give you a right to pry into my personal life .<\/p>\n
I dont want to talk about it .<\/p>\n
Its not your concem , Alpha .<\/p>\n
Sammy sucked in a sharp breath at her words , and I let out a low growl .<\/p>\n
She clamped her lips shut and glanced at the ground , desperate to keep herself from looking at me .<\/p>\n
I was clear Nan had no intention of telling me who had hurt her , and I knew the second Judy saw those bruises she was going to want to find out who it was and get to the bottom of it herself .<\/p>\n
It might even put her in further danger .<\/p>\n
If I find out who it was- I started to say through my teeth , the thought of Judy putting herself in a dangerous situation festered in my mind , making my thoughts jumble and my wolf agitated .<\/p>\n
Nan interrupted my words by standing up abruptly .<\/p>\n
If youll excuse me , Alpha Landry .<\/p>\n
Without another word , she stepped away from me and hurried toward the other end of the waiting room .<\/p>\n
I stared .<\/p>\n
after her with my lips pressed \u2026 I thought about Irene and how I would react if something like that happened to her .<\/p>\n
She was my daughter , and I would slaughter anyone who brought harm to her \u2026 same with Matthew .<\/p>\n
Same with Judy \u2026 Sammy sat in Nans former seat .<\/p>\n
Probably that guy shes been talking to , Sammy said with a shrug .<\/p>\n
I heard them arguing before we came here , and it sounded really bad .<\/p>\n
I glared at her .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0321 What guy ? I dont know his name , she said , nibbling her lower lip .<\/p>\n
I glanced back at Nan and saw that she had taken a seat somewhere else , her hands buried under her lap and her eyes fixed on the ground as she fought the urge to cry .<\/p>\n
So , Judy is part of your pack , Alpha ? Sammy asked curiously .<\/p>\n
Has she always been ? The door opened and someone walked into the waiting room .<\/p>\n
It drew my attention to the person , ignoring Sammy completely .<\/p>\n
I didnt recognize the small group that entered .<\/p>\n
It was guy and two girls , both looked worried but the guy only looked annoyed as he looked around the waiting room , his eyes landing on Nan .<\/p>\n
The second the girls saw Nan ; they rushed to her .<\/p>\n
I watched as her face grew paler as they got closer to her .<\/p>\n
Her eyes refused to look at the guy .<\/p>\n
I narrowed my eyes ; he looked guilty as fuck .<\/p>\n
Was this the guy who did this to her ? I channeled my Lycan hearing so I could hear what they were saying , Can we talk ? He asked her .<\/p>\n
She finally glanced his way , swallowing Im here for my best friend .<\/p>\n
Havent you said enough ? She asked .<\/p>\n
Please , he pleaded softly .<\/p>\n
Give me a chance to explain myself .<\/p>\n
Nan , hes a good guy , one of the girls said .<\/p>\n
He didnt mean to hurt you .<\/p>\n
Yeah , hes my cousin is so sensitive , the other girl said .<\/p>\n
Give him a chance .<\/p>\n
Nan glanced between them all before her eyes landed on me \u2026 I was busted .<\/p>\n
She knew I could hear them , and she knew that I now knew the truth .<\/p>\n
She sighed and then stood to her feet , quickly averting her eyes from mine .<\/p>\n
Okay , she said softly .<\/p>\n
Lets talk .<\/p>\n
She disappeared out the door with him and the girls sat down in the seats that Nan was nearby .<\/p>\n
I thought about following them , but then the door of the operating room swung open and one of the doctors walked out .<\/p>\n
Alpha Landry , he said , stepping towards me .<\/p>\n
I stood to attention immediately .<\/p>\n
Miss Montague is out of surgery , and it went well .<\/p>\n
We think she will be cleared for next weeks challenges .<\/p>\n
Now that shes patched up , wolf will heal her in no time .<\/p>\n
No serious injuries were detected .<\/p>\n
Relief .<\/p>\n
All I felt at that moment \u2026 was relief .<\/p>\n
