Chapter 320

**Chapter 0320**
**Gavin’s POV**

The crowd fell silent as Judy suddenly fell from the sky and hit the ground. But soon, chaos erupted. They gasped in horror as they saw an arrow piercing her back, sticking out through her stomach.

Her face had gone pale, and she struggled to stay awake. There was no way she could continue after this. She felt completely out of it.

Everything happened in a blur after that. One moment, Mica was talking to me, and the next…

I knelt on the battleground, over Judy’s still body, which was soaked in blood.

When the medics arrived, I shot them a fierce glare. My eyes burned with anger as my wolf urged me to take control. They were moving too slowly for my liking. I had been here for what felt like an eternity, and I couldn’t just stand by.

For almost two minutes, I pressed my hands against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. I urged her to open her eyes, but there was no medic in sight.

“What took you so long?” I asked, frustration seeping through my clenched teeth. “She needs help!”

One of the medics looked at the others with a worried expression before they quickly jumped into action.

I let out a low growl to encourage them to hurry. I didn’t know what was wrong with my wolf; he had never acted like this before.

He was struggling for control as the medics took their time.

“It’s a pretty bad injury,” one of the medics said while checking the damage. “But it doesn’t look like it hit any vital organs. We shouldn’t take too long.”

“Let’s wait until we can get her to the examination room,” one of the team members said.

The others nodded in agreement.

“Get the stretcher,” another team member instructed. “This is the worst injury we’ve had today. We need to be careful with her.”

“Is she okay?” a girl shouted as she hurried towards Judy. She was the same girl who had been on the zipline with her.

I think her name was Tabitha.

I didn’t answer. My eyes were fixed on Judy, worried about what had just happened.

Judy’s pale face was the center of attention. Sweat began to bead on her forehead, and her breathing became more labored. Her eyes fluttered as if she were trying to open them.

Suddenly, she screamed as they placed her on the stretcher.

They carefully placed her on a stretcher, keeping her on her side to avoid disturbing the arrow that was lodged in her. A gasp escaped my lips without me even realizing it, surprising the medics around us.

“We need to get her to the operating room, Alpha,” one of them said urgently.

One of the medics told me something important. I noticed that my grip was tight on the stretcher, and my eyes were probably shining bright yellow as my wolf instincts kicked in. I needed to pull him back and let go of the stretcher.

I thought to myself, what was wrong with me?

“There’s a lot of blood,” one of the medics whispered to another as they checked on Judy.

They began to carry her away from the battleground. I kept my eyes on her face, which was pale and covered in sweat. Her eyes looked distant and frightened.

I opened my eyes slightly and saw the life fading from Judy as she looked at me.

I could barely hear the announcer calling for a timeout during all of this. I didn’t even realize everyone else was focused on Judy too.

As she was being escorted out, I almost followed her. But then, a strong hand held me back.

**Chapter 03**

I turned to see Mica staring at me with a frown.

“What’s gotten into you? Since when do you…”

“Why did you react that way?” he asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

I grabbed his wrist and pulled it away with force, a low growl escaping my lips. His eyes widened in surprise.

“She’s from my pack; she is my responsibility. I’ll react however I need to.”

“I see fit,” I growled, my voice sharp and filled with anger.

He blinked, then his gaze shifted to Judy, who was moving away from us.

“I had no idea she was from Silver Crescent,” he whispered, his voice low and uncertain.

eyes looking back at me. “That explains a lot. She’s one of yours, and you feel protective of your packmates.”

“I need to leave,” I murmured, not replying to his comment.

I pushed aside the thoughts swirling in my mind.

Levi was staring at me as I followed the medics out of the arena.

The moment I left, the announcer started the timer again, and the battle carried on for another hour.

The infirmary was crowded with people who had come to check on their loved ones after watching the fights.

I didn’t like being grouped together with them. I wanted to be in there with her, but they told me it would only distract me if I was in the same room.

But I didn’t agree with that.

I could have used my Lycan powers to force my way into the operating room. But I knew the medical team was right. They needed to concentrate on the surgery without me hovering over them. My wolf was restless at that moment, and I didn’t want to distract them.

I wasn’t sure what was wrong with him, but I thought it was safer for us to stay away until she was done with her surgery.

“Have you heard anything?” Nan asked as she rushed into the infirmary, tears in her eyes.

I hadn’t heard any news yet, and I felt a knot form in my stomach.

I had seen her at the arena before, so I was surprised to find her in the infirmary. A young girl was with her, and I recognized the girl from around the resort. I had spotted her a few times talking to Judy.

“She’s still in the…”

“Operation,” I whispered.

She sat down next to me and buried her face in her hands, letting out a soft groan.

I hadn’t talked much with Nan, but I knew she was Judy’s best friend. I also knew that she was aware of what had been going on.

My relationship with her began in an unexpected way.

“You’re Gavin Landry,” the girl who was with her said, her eyes wide as she looked at me. I didn’t answer her. Instead, I focused on the girl, scanning her features. There was something strange yet familiar about her.

I felt a special vibe around her that I couldn’t quite understand.

“I’m Sammy,” I said. “I’m a friend of Judy’s. I really hope she gets through this.”
