Chapter 325

Chapter 0325

I paced my room, feeling restless. I had just finished showering and was only wearing boxers. My fingers ran through my wet hair as I watched water droplets fall to the ground. Anger was bubbling inside me.

I felt a restless energy building up inside me. My wolf was eager to break free and run, but I held him back. Right now, he was too unstable. I worried about what he might do if I let him loose.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Mica’s words. She was moving on to the next round, and I should have felt happy for her. After all, that was why she was here, right? But instead, I felt stuck.

I need to make myself happy. She was getting ready for the deadly matches. If she was determined enough, and I knew she was, she could end up dead before this competition was over.

Then, I heard a soft knock on the door.

I froze and stared at the door. I knew it was Judy before I even opened it. I grabbed the handle and pulled it open, almost yanking the door off its hinges. There she stood in front of me, her eyes fixed on mine.

She sat on the ground, her cheeks bright red.

She was wearing a black lacy nightgown, and I couldn’t help but wonder if she had put it on just for me. Her hair was pulled back away from her face, though a few strands had slipped out and gently framed her features.

I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.

This wasn’t about sex. I needed her to understand that I didn’t think it was a good idea for her to move on to the next round. I wanted her to go home.

I stepped aside, waiting for her to enter the room.

Once she was safely inside the room, I closed the door behind her and locked it. She flinched when she heard the lock click, and I couldn’t help but frown even more at her.

Was she afraid of me all of a sudden?

She turned away from me, keeping her back turned.

She turned to face me, her eyes fixed on the ground. I looked her over, noting how she was walking normally. This meant that her wolf had healed her even more since our last encounter.

I walked around her until I stood in front of her.

I narrowed my eyes at her. She still wouldn’t look at me. For a moment, it felt like I was a father about to scold his daughter. The thought made me cringe, so I took a deep breath and let my body relax.

“I think you should go home,” I finally said, my voice trailing off. It sounded tired and almost defeated.

She looked up at me, her eyes wide as she searched my face for any sign of what I really meant.

I wasn’t being serious at all. I rolled my eyes at her expression and crossed my arms over my chest, giving off a typical “dad” look. But then, I quickly unfolded my arms and clenched my fists at my sides.

“Hey,” I said, trying to lighten the mood.

“What do you mean?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at me.

“Next week is a death match, Judy. You aren’t in any shape to compete,” I told her.

“The doctors cleared me. I’m fine,” she insisted.

“Even Alpha Jeremy said I was fine to compete next week. I’ll be healed by tomorrow,” she said, her brows furrowing in concern.

“It’s too dangerous,” I replied, my jaw tightening. “You could get hurt again.”

Today, someone died. Next week will be even worse because they will actually be trying to kill you.

She laughed at what I said.

“Thanks for the boost of confidence,” she said quietly. “Look, I’ve been cleared, and I’ve been chosen.”

“I’m not going to pass on that opportunity, Alpha,” she said.

She turned away from me, but before she could step toward the door, I moved in front of her, blocking her path.

I let out a low growl.

My wolf was acting up, ready to take charge. She stared at me with wide eyes until I finally managed to pull the reins and calm her down.

“Do you want to get yourself killed?” I yelled, frustrated.

“Why do you even care?” she shot back.

“Last week, you hardly even knew I was here. Do you realize how many times you’ve ignored me? I’ve been trying to tell you about this competition for the last week, but you were never around. Do you even care?”

“Do you have any idea how that made me feel?” she asked.

I stared at her, speechless.

As I looked at her, I could feel my anger fading away. Her cheeks were turning a soft pink.

Her words struck a chord with me, washing over me like a wave. She reached up to wipe away a tear.

Her cheeks flushed with anger as tears began to fall from her eyes. She felt furious and was trying hard not to look at me. Pressing her lips into a thin line, she desperately fought to keep herself from running out of the room.
