Judy’s POV
“Breathe, Judy,” Eliza said, putting her hands on my chest. “Take a deep breath with me.” She made a show of breathing in, and I tried to mimic her movements, but the air wouldn’t come into my lungs.
I struggled for breath, my heart racing as my stomach ached. I felt my wolf stirring as panic struck her as well. Both heart monitors were going crazy; hearing my baby's heart monitor beeping as well brought me back to the present moment, and I knew I needed to get things under control.
“Deep breath,” she said again, calmly this time.
I took a deep and slow breath, breathing out shakily.
“Good,” she said softly. “Again.” She made another show of breathing in and out, and I did the same thing, less shaky this time. The monitors slowed down, and I felt my body relaxing.
“Somebody tried to kill my baby…” I whispered, my eyes glistening with tears.
She had a concerned look on her face as she sat in the chair by my bedside.
“Taylor is going to do everything he can to make sure whoever was the mastermind of this pays,” she assured me. “The doctors who assisted you earlier are being rounded up. This hospital is pretty much on lockdown along with all surrounding packs, so nobody is leaving or entering without Gavin and Taylor knowing about it. You have nothing to worry about. I arrived just in time… the second I got word that you were brought here, I rushed over. I’m not going to let anyone hurt you or your baby. You have my word, Luna.”
I stared at her, feeling relieved that she was there with me and a little flustered that she titled me a Luna before it was made official. Seeing the look on my face, she smirked.
“I see your mark,” she told me, her eyes shifting to my neck. I reached up and touched the mark that Gavin made on my neck, and my cheeks flushed. I almost forgot about it until she mentioned it. Regardless of whether you had the ceremony or not… You are my Luna, and I’m proud to serve you as your female Beta and your doctor. So, let me take care of you.”
I nodded without hesitation.
“Thank you,” I whispered, my voice coming out hoarse.
I was being used this entire time?
Levi never wanted me in his territory?
He never thought I’d be a good gamma warrior?
I was nothing more than a distraction that Levi exploited.
“I’m sorry; I probably shouldn’t have told you that right now,” she said, sighing. “I’m still trying to wrap my head around it myself. Taylor had caught onto it while Gavin was distracted with you, and they are in the process of putting a stop to it. We have hackers on the inside who put a block on the security and the important data that has been leaked. It was traced back to Levi’s computer system. The data is being exported, and it’s being used as proof of deception. Gavin is trying to get him removed as chairman.”
