**Chapter 850**<\/p>\n
**Gavin\u2019s POV**<\/p>\n
In an instant, Judy became a lifeless weight in my arms, and my mind struggled to comprehend the horror that had just unfolded. The moment the gem shot toward her, it was as if time had slowed, yet I was powerless to intervene. I had barely registered its movement before I instinctively wrapped my arms around her, catching her just as the gem struck her shoulder.<\/p>\n
Her eyes, once so vibrant, rolled back, and she began to collapse. I felt the world tilt as I cradled her against me, preventing her from hitting the ground. My heart raced, panic clawing at my insides, but it wasn\u2019t until her body went completely limp that I noticed the gem embedded in her shoulder blade.<\/p>\n
Crimson began to seep through her shirt, a stark contrast against the fabric, while the gem glowed with an intensity that was blinding, illuminating the night as if it were day. I squinted, desperate to see Judy\u2019s injury clearly, but the light was almost unbearable.<\/p>\n
Her breaths were so faint that I feared they might stop altogether; the roaring in my ears drowned out all rational thought. My wolf was in a frenzy, a primal instinct to protect my mate surging through me as I watched her succumb to the effects of the Moon Gem.<\/p>\n
Around us, chaos erupted. My grip on Judy tightened as I focused solely on her pale features, my heart sinking with every passing second. Gammas rushed toward us, led by Derek, our head Gamma, whose wild eyes darted around, searching for the source of the threat.<\/p>\n
Taylor was there too, and it was he who first spotted Judy. His expression shifted from shock to horror, his face paling as he took in the scene.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell,\u201d he muttered under his breath, his gaze flickering to Lila and Daisy, who stood frozen, mouths agape. Lila\u2019s face was flushed with anger, and I could see the tension in her body, ready to spring into action at any moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t let them escape!\u201d I barked through clenched teeth, trying to maintain some semblance of control over my wolf\u2019s rising agitation.<\/p>\n
As expected, Lila attempted to bolt, but Daisy remained rooted to the spot, her eyes locked on Judy\u2019s face, filled with a mix of horror and disbelief.<\/p>\n
In a swift motion, Taylor managed to catch Lila before she could flee.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not fair!\u201d she screamed, her voice laced with desperation, tears brimming in her eyes. \u201cIt was supposed to be me! It was meant to choose me! This is my magic\u2026 I\u2019m the heiress\u2026 it belongs to me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo\u2026 you are not,\u201d a voice cut through the air, causing us all to turn in unison toward the emerging shadow.<\/p>\n
My warriors were already on high alert, weapons drawn, ready for a confrontation. But as the figure stepped into the light, I raised my hand, signaling them to hold their positions. I was utterly frozen, shock coursing through me at the sight of who was approaching.<\/p>\n
How could this be happening?<\/p>\n
\u201cW\u2026what?\u201d Lila stuttered, her eyes widening as she recognized her grandmother, Esme, walking toward her on her own two feet. \u201cGrandma??\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are not my grandchild,\u201d Esme hissed, her narrowed eyes transforming into slits of disdain. \u201cYou are nothing but a disgrace. You have been since the day you were born.\u201d<\/p>\n
The color drained from Lila\u2019s face, her bravado evaporating in an instant.<\/p>\n
\u201cH\u2026how can you speak?\u201d she managed to ask, echoing my own bewilderment. \u201cIn all the years I\u2019ve known you, you\u2019ve never uttered a single word.\u201d<\/p>\n
Esme\u2019s voice was hoarse, as if it hadn\u2019t been used in years, but her words were sharp and cutting. \u201cYou are not my grandchild,\u201d she repeated, her tone brooking no argument. \u201cAnd deep down, you\u2019ve always known it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lila\u2019s lip quivered, her expression shifting from shock to panic as she struggled against Taylor\u2019s firm grip, but he held her fast.<\/p>\n
I tightened my hold on Judy, cradling her against my chest as I prepared to flee. We needed to get her to safety. I had to find Eliza.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaylor, where\u2019s your mate?\u201d I asked, my gaze never leaving Esme. I didn\u2019t trust her\u2014she had hidden too much from us, and with Judy in such a vulnerable state, I couldn\u2019t afford to let my guard down.<\/p>\n
Taylor glanced at his wristwatch, urgency etched on his face. \u201cShe\u2019s probably finishing up at the clinic by now,\u201d he replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cI need to reach her before she leaves,\u201d I insisted, slowly backing away. \u201cI have to ensure that Judy and the baby are safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey are both fine,\u201d Esme interjected, her eyes locking onto mine, a strange calmness in her voice. \u201cJust relax. She will awaken soon enough.\u201d<\/p>\n
I turned Judy to shield her from Esme\u2019s gaze, my eyes narrowing as I scrutinized the old woman. The fact that she was standing\u2014after years of being confined to a wheelchair\u2014sent a chill down my spine.<\/p>\n
What other secrets had she been hiding?<\/p>\n
Had Judy been right all along? Had Esme been the one haunting her dreams?<\/p>\n
Every instinct within me screamed to get Judy away from here, away from the danger that lurked in Esme\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n
\u201cI understand that you do not trust me, Alpha,\u201d Esme said, her gaze unwavering, piercing through the chaos surrounding us. \u201cBut I assure you, I am not the one you need to fear.\u201d<\/p>\n
I had no patience for her cryptic warnings\u2014not while Judy lay unconscious in my arms, the Moon Gem still embedded in her shoulder. My grip around her tightened even more, driven by instinct and desperation.<\/p>\n
As I held Judy\u2019s lifeless form against me, a wave of despair washed over my heart, mingling with a fierce determination to protect her at all costs. The chaos around us faded into a distant hum, overshadowed by the weight of my fear for her life. I could feel the bond we shared, the love that had blossomed amidst the ruins of our kingdom, and it fueled my resolve. I had to believe that we could overcome this darkness together, that the strength of our connection would guide us through the storm. With every ounce of my being, I willed her to awaken, to fight against the shadows threatening to consume her.<\/p>\n
In that moment, as I prepared to flee, I realized that the battle we faced was not just against external foes but also against the haunting legacy that had plagued our family for generations. Esme\u2019s presence loomed ominously, a reminder of the secrets that had long been buried. Yet, I would not allow fear to dictate our future. As I cradled Judy, I vowed to uncover the truth, to confront the darkness that had haunted us for too long. Together, we would rise from the ashes of betrayal and pain, forging a new path toward hope and love. Our kingdom would not be defined by the scars of the past but by the strength of our bond and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.<\/p>\n
