Chapter 324

“I’m fine,” I assured her, pulling my eyes away from Tyler to look up at her.

It was true; I could feel my wounds throbbing as my wolf sank into a tired state.

“I’ll be fine by tomorrow. My wolf is through my body,” I said.

“Thank goodness for that,” Sammy replied, quickly hugging me before stepping back. “I saw Tatry out there. She’s just getting checked out.”

by some nurses, and then she’ll come see you.”

I nodded, not wanting them to make a fuss over me.

“I’m fine, really,” I assured them. “Don’t worry about me.”

“I was thinking we should do a…

“Let’s have a girl’s night,” Sammy suggested. “I think we could all use some time to relax and gossip.”

“That sounds great, but I can’t,” I replied, lifting my arm to show her the IV in my hand.

“I think you’re all set to leave whenever you’re ready,” the doctor said as he removed the IVs from my arm and disconnected me from the machines. “Your wolf should heal you completely soon.”

I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of relief and nervousness. It had been a long wait, but I was finally free to go.

“Tomorrow morning, you’ll be back to your normal self,” she said. “I don’t see any reason to keep you here.”

Gavin didn’t linger. He quickly excused himself and left without saying a word to me. I frowned as I watched him walk away.

Sammy sat on the couch in the hotel suite and said, “I’m glad you are feeling better.”

Next to her, Tabby reached for the bowl of popcorn that was sitting on the table. She couldn’t help but wonder what was going on with him.

She sat by the side table, showing a few scratches and bruises, but thankfully, nothing too serious. The good news was that she was cleared for next week.

Nan and I were settled on the loveseats. Nan was busy looking for a movie for us to watch. The bruises on her were noticeable, but they didn’t seem to bother her much.

The moment we got back to the hotel suite, something on her arm caught my attention. I wanted to ask her about it, but she quickly brushed me off and changed the subject. I didn’t need her to tell me what it was; I could tell it was something important.

I knew who had done it, and I wasn’t going to let it slide. Tyler was a dead man.

“Can you believe Alpha Gavin charged into the arena like that?” Tabby laughed, shaking her head. “Did he really think he could just waltz in?”

“Did you see his face? I really thought he was going to hurt someone,” she said.

“I wish I could have been there to see it,” Nan sighed, leaning back in her seat.

She had finally found a romantic comedy to watch, and all she had to do was press play.

Tabby frowned and scrunched up her nose. “Ew, can’t we watch something action-packed instead?” she complained about Nan’s movie choice.

“I love romances,” Sammy said with a bright smile, clearly excited about the film.

While they were talking, Nan just waited patiently, enjoying the banter between the two friends.

Tabby rolled her eyes and said, “You would.”

I chose to ignore her and turned to Nan. “Is everything okay?” I asked her. “I mean, how are you and Tyler doing?”

Nan frowned at me.

“Why do you think something’s wrong?” she replied.

“Do you…?” she asked, glancing at me.

I looked at her wrist, my eyes narrowing. “I’m not blind,” I replied, meeting her gaze. “Did you really think I wouldn’t notice?”

“Like I said…”

“I’ve got it under control, Gavin. It’s okay. I’m fine,” she said, sounding a bit frustrated.

I raised my eyebrows at her words.

“Gavin?” I asked.

“All I’m saying is that romance movies are dumb,” she replied.

Tabby interrupted my thoughts, saying, “And corny.”

“That’s just your opinion,” Sammy replied, crossing her arms over her chest.

Nan rolled her eyes at the exchange.

“I’m picking the movie, and I want to hear what everyone thinks!”

“Nothing about it,” she said, putting an end to their argument. She was trying to steer clear of our earlier conversation.

Nan picked up the remote from the table and pressed play, giving them one last pointed look.

Just then, my phone buzzed on the coffee table.

I quickly grabbed the phone. When I glanced at the screen, my heart skipped a beat. I saw Gavin’s name.

“Gavin: Meet me in my suite. Now.”
