Chapter 494
I thought about calling Dr. Pierce to have her take a look at her, but Judy soon stirred, giving me a sliver of hope that se was coming to. Though, the waiting didn’t end there. She continued to sleep and made small noises for the next few hours. I put a warm cloth over her face and continued to keep monitor of her until she finally opened her
eyes.
“Don’t try to move,” I told her, running my hand down the side of her face. “You passed out.”
She blinked for a moment, seemingly confused. Her brows furrowed as she glanced around the room, trying to grasp her surroundings.
“How did I get here?” She asked, her tone coming out as a whisper. “Last I remember, I was in the forest.”
It made sense; I assumed Judy had passed out while in wolf form and it was her wolf hat kept conscious, getting herself and Judy out of the forest.
“You passed out,” I told her. “Your human form must have passed out while in human form. Thankfully your wolf was able to bring you back in one peace.” 11
She sighed as her eyes flashed with the memory; they clouded over, and my heart twisted.
“Judy, tell me what happened in the forest,” I said softly. “What spooked you and your wolf so bad.”
She sat up, her eyes flashing with the memory.
“I found Sammy,” she said, her eyes meeting mine. “She was talking to Ethan in the forest. I thought… I thought she could be trusted. I came here to see her earlier in the day and-”
“You spoke to her today?” I asked, my eyes narrowed. “While she was in lockdown?”
She bit her lip and nodded once.
“Yes…” she replied gently. “I wanted to know if our friendship was a lie or not. It was killing me not knowing. She told me that Ethan switched is alliance to her father and that’s why she was speaking to him. That there was nothing more to it…”
“So, I was right,” I murmured, more to myself than to her.
“I believed her…” Judy whispered. “But then I saw her wolf in the forest… the same wolf that saved me during the competition.”
I nodded; already finding that information out earlier.
“Go on,” I urged her gently.
“And then I saw them talking in the forest. Ethan thought that I had some kind of company phone… I guess being a part of your Elite Force meant I’d have some type of phone.”
My blood boiled; I knew what would happen the second I made Judy a part of the Elite Force, which is why I hadn’t offered it to her yet. Each member of the force gets a company phone for emergencies and business–related tasks. These phones hold intimate details of the Landry Franchise which is information they are meant to protect. The force is responsible for keeping outsiders away from this information and keeping the company safe.
I should have known that someone would try and get their hands on that information through Judy. Tahnkfully, she doesn’t have a phone yet because I didn’t make her a part of the force. I wasn’t planning on it until the threat on my company is figured out. 1
“She told him she didn’t want any part of it anymore,” Judy continued, her mind replaying what had happened. “

He told her he wouldn’t make her his Luna if she didn’t do as he said, and she reminded him who her father was. Then… they started to kiss and rip each other’s clothes off.
My heart lurched at her words; so, they were having a relationship? I should have figured that one out myself.
“I’m not sure what happened after that.. it all goes blank,” she admitted peeking up at me.
I assumed that’s when Judy’s human form passed out within her wolf form and her wolf got them the hell out of there. I wrapped my arms around her, holding her impossibly close and wishing I could protect her from what she had already seen and what she was feeling. I felt her body relaxing against mine and a smile tugged at my lips knowing I had a calming effect on her like she had one on me.
“It’ll be okay,” I assured her. “Just leave everything to me
“I feel so stupid,” she whispered as tears filled her yes. “I trusted her…”
I kissed the top of her head and took a deep breath.
“And now I need you to trust me,” I whispered.
I grabbed my phone and dialed Taylors number. There was a chance he was still in wolf form, hunting for Sammy and Ethan.
But he soon answered the phone.
“Alpha,” he greeted.
“Any luck on finding them?” I asked.
“Derek mindlinked me and said they caught sight of them on the run,” Taylor said. “I’m heading in that direction now.”
I nodded, though he couldn’t see me.
“Keep me updated,” I told him. “Once you capture them, I want them both banished. Ethan Cash and Sammy Churchill aren’t to step foot on my territory ever again.”
