Chapter 0325 I paced my room ; I had just finished showering , and I was wearing only boxers .<\/p>\n
I ran my fingers through my soaked hair , watching as water droplets landed on the ground .<\/p>\n
Anger was festering in my chest , and my wolf was itching to get out and go for a run , but I held him back because the way he was right now was unstable .<\/p>\n
I worried he might do if I were to set him free at the moment .<\/p>\n
I couldnt get Micas words out of my head ; she was free to move on to the next round .<\/p>\n
In hindsight , I should have been happy for her .<\/p>\n
That was what she was here for , right ? But I couldnt bring myself to be happy .<\/p>\n
She was moving onto the death matches \u2026 if she were stubborn enough , which I know she is , she could end up dead before this coemption is over .<\/p>\n
There was a faint knock on the door , and I froze , glaring at the door .<\/p>\n
I knew it was Judy before I even opened it .<\/p>\n
I grabbed the handle and pulled it open , almost pulling the door right off its hinges in the process .<\/p>\n
She stood before me , her eyes fixed on the ground and her cheeks blazing red .<\/p>\n
She wore a black lacy nightgown , and it made me wonder if she wore it just for me .<\/p>\n
Her hair was pulled back out of her face , though a couple of strands fell over her face , giving her head a bedhead look to it .noveldrama<\/p>\n
My cock twitched at the sight of her , and I wanted to pull her into the room and have my way with her until the sun came up .<\/p>\n
But I held back because this wasnt about sex .<\/p>\n
I needed her to know that I didnt think it was a good idea for her to move on to the next round .<\/p>\n
I wanted her to go home .<\/p>\n
I stepped aside , waiting for her to enter the room without saying anything .<\/p>\n
Once she was secured in the room , I shut the door behind her and locked it .<\/p>\n
She flinched as the lock engaged and I frowned even deeper at her .<\/p>\n
Was she afraid of me suddenly ? She kept her back , turned towards me , and her eyes on the ground as I assessed her body .<\/p>\n
She was walking normally , which meant her wolf had healed her even more since earlier .<\/p>\n
I stepped around her until I was in front of her , and I narrowed my eyes at her .<\/p>\n
She still refused to look at me and for a moment , if let like I was a father about to scold my daughter .<\/p>\n
I cringed at the very thought and allowed my body to relax .<\/p>\n
I think you should go home , I finally said , my voice losing its edge and sounding defeated \u2026 almost weak .<\/p>\n
She finally looked up at me , her eyes wide as she studied my face , trying to find any hint of humor like I wasnt serious .<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes at her face and folded my arms across my chest , giving me an even more of a dad look .<\/p>\n
I immediately unfolded my arms and clenched my fists at my sides .<\/p>\n
What do you mean ? she asked , narrowing her eyes at me Next week is a death match , Judy .<\/p>\n
You arent in any shape to compete , I told her .<\/p>\n
The doctors cleared me , Im fine , she said , her brows pinching together .<\/p>\n
Even Alpha Jeremy said I was fine to compete next week .<\/p>\n
Ill be healed by tomorrow .<\/p>\n
Its too dangerous , I said , my jaw clenching .<\/p>\n
You could have died today .<\/p>\n
Next week will be worse because they will actually be trying to kill you .<\/p>\n
She scoffed at my words .<\/p>\n
Thanks for the boost of confidence , she murmured .<\/p>\n
Look , Ive been cleared , and Ive been chosen .<\/p>\n
Thats not an opportunity Im going to pass , Alpha .<\/p>\n
Chapter 0325 She turned away from me but before she could take a step towards the door , I stepped around her , blocking her way .<\/p>\n
I let out a growl , my wolf threatening to take charge .<\/p>\n
She stared at me with wide eyes until I managed to pull the reins on my wolf .<\/p>\n
Do you want to get yourself killed ? I seethed .<\/p>\n
Why do you even care ? She blurted .<\/p>\n
Last week you barely even knew I existed .<\/p>\n
Do you know how many times youve blown me off ? Ive tried to tell you about this competition for the past week and I couldnt because you were never around .<\/p>\n
Do you have any idea how that made me feel ? I stared at her , dumbfounded .<\/p>\n
I could feel my anger calming as I stared at her pinkening cheeks .<\/p>\n
Her words resonated with me and washed over me like a freight train .<\/p>\n
She wiped at her cheeks angrily as some stray tears escaped her eyes .<\/p>\n
She was angry and now she was trying hard not to look at me as she pressed her lips into a thin line and desperately tried to keep herself from bolting out of the room .<\/p>\n
