Judy's POV

I should have known that's where he had gone this morning. He had sex with me last night and then left to be with another woman. My heart was shattered, and I hated that he affected me so much. Nan, feeling my mood shift, wrapped an arm through mine and gave me a reassuring squeeze.

"I'm sure it's nothing," she whispered to me.

She wasn't meaning for Erik to hear it, but with wolf hearing, he heard her clear as day. He glanced at me through the mirror with a small frown.

"She's in the hospital," he clarified, drawing my attention to him.

"What?" I asked, raising my brows.

"Rachel," he clarified. "She's in the hospital. He went to make sure she was okay. Taylor called him this morning and told him about it. That's all I really know, though."

My heart thudded against my chest; many different scenarios played out in my head.

"What happened?" I asked. "Why is she in the hospital?"

"You'd have to ask him,” he replied. "I'm not entirely sure."

"That's all the information you have?!" I practically shouted; I was aware that I was acting stupid. This wasn't Erik's fault, nor was it his problem. I wasn't being fair to him, and the look Nan was giving me told me she agreed with my internal monologue.
