She was being such an idiot. I wanted to grab her, throw her over my shoulder, and get her out of there. But I knew others would see, and it would be a big scene.

I needed to get back to Levi. I didn’t want him to know about her, so I had to keep a low profile. I couldn’t focus on my workout, knowing she was out there and possibly hurting her ankle even more.

I walked into the locker room.

I headed to my locker to grab my things and pick up Judy’s backpack, which I had stored there. As soon as she finished her stubborn fit, I planned to take her to the urgent care at the resort.

After leaving the locker room, I went to look for Judy.

I saw Judy at the weights area. She was careful not to put too much pressure on her ankle, which was a good sign. Maybe she wasn’t as careless as I had thought. But that changed when one of the other competitors started talking to her.

The gym was loud, making it hard to hear what everyone was saying.

Suddenly, a dumbbell fell and crashed to the floor. But Judy, with her quick reflexes, caught it just in time before it could hit the girl nearby. I knew her well.

Judy knew her ankle was hurt badly. She might not be able to hear her friends’ voices in the crowd, but she could definitely hear the sound of her bone cracking.

Despite her injury, Judy tried to keep a brave face. She didn’t want the girl nearby to see how much pain she was in. Judy was determined to stay strong, even if it was difficult.

Judy was trying to act like everything was okay, but it was clear something was off.

Why was she pretending?

Who was that girl to Judy?

As Judy hobbled away, and the girl walked off to find a new partner for spotting, I hurried after Judy. I needed to catch her before she got too far. I could see she was struggling, and I wanted to talk to her.

She was walking quickly, even with her broken ankle. Just before she fell to the ground, I wrapped my coat around her shoulders. I hoped it would cover her up as I lifted her into my arms.

At first, she seemed like she wanted to protest.

She glared up at me with dark eyes, clearly upset. But then her expression changed to one of pain. I could see her determination starting to fade. She understood what she needed to do, but her stubbornness kept her from admitting it.

With a sigh, she looked away.

She rested her head against my chest, and I noticed the crease between her brows as pain filled her expression. I held her close and quickly rushed her out of the gym. I was relieved that I didn’t run into many people on our way out, but there were still a few.

A few paparazzi stood nearby, cameras aimed right at us. I tried my best to shield Judy’s face with my coat. I barked at the onlookers and the photographers, hoping they would give us some privacy.

I wasn’t in the mood to handle all this attention.

I knew this hotel very well because it was owned by a friend’s family. I felt comfortable moving around without needing a map. The resort’s urgent care was not far from the gym, which made it easy to find.

“Alpha…”

“Landry?” the receptionist asked as I hurried into the urgent care office. She quickly stood up when she saw the worried look on my face. Her gaze shifted to Judy, who was sitting nearby.

“She needs help. It’s her ankle,” I said urgently.

I rushed to a gurney in the corner of the room and carefully placed Judy on top, covering her with a coat like a warm blanket. Her ankle was so swollen that I could barely wrap my hands around it. It was clear she was in pain, and I knew we had to get her help quickly.

Judy’s arm was red and looked painful to touch. She was sweating, and her face had turned pale. Judy felt dazed and delirious from the pain, probably from the injury and whatever else this type of break had done to her. Maybe there was more damage than she realized.

“Don’t,” she started to say, but her voice trailed off.

“Don’t worry, Alpha. We have this handled,” Dr. Kelsey said as he rushed into the waiting room.

The receptionist must have called him when she saw Judy.

Dr. Kelsey was a great doctor, and I knew Judy was in good hands.

She wanted to be on good terms with him. At that moment, she was in the hospital, being cared for by a doctor. I watched as they rushed her into the emergency room, surrounded by doctors and nurses. I hoped she would be fine.

I knew I could leave at any moment now.

**I Should Leave…**

**Judy’s POV**

When I woke up, I found myself in a strange place. The clean smell and the neatly made beds lined up around me suggested that I was in some sort of infirmary. I looked around the room, trying to take it all in.

I looked around the room until my eyes landed on a sleeping figure in the chair near my bed.

“Gavin?” I asked, my voice came out raspy. I cleared my throat and tried again, speaking a bit louder. This startled him awake.

“You’re awake,” he said, rubbing his eyes.

“Hey,” he said, looking straight into my eyes. “How are you feeling?”

I shrugged. “I guess I feel better. What happened?” I asked him.

“Well,” he began, “as I feared, you hurt your ankle even more.”

“You passed out from the pain when I brought you to the hospital. They had to do surgery to fix your broken bone.”
