Judy's POV

Today was going to be a long day. I already knew it from the moment I woke up to the moment I did my rounds around the pack. I hadn't told Sampson or anyone about my pregnancy yet, and the thought filled my chest with dread. I knew the second I did he would strip me of my gamma title and maybe even make me return to my home... back to him. But I couldn't go back to him, no matter how hard I wanted to. I hated that I wanted to... I hated that I missed him. But he made his choice, and it wasn't me. He was expecting a child and marrying another woman; I needed to keep my distance and pretend to be happy for him, because that was what Gavin wanted.

Sampson mentioned having a meeting this after and I needed to attend, and I wasn't looking forward to this. Honestly, I didn't want to be around a lot of people. I wanted to be by myself and just wallow in self-misery, but until I told Sampson the truth, that wasn't an option. I was still very much an Elite Gamma warrior, and I needed to be on my A game. I couldn't show any signs of weakness... I had to pretend I wasn't carrying a baby in my belly.

I stared at myself in the mirror, frowning at my flat belly. In a couple of months, I would start to show, and I wouldn't be able to hide it any longer. I also couldn't keep putting this baby in danger... I had to tell Sampson. But maybe it could wait a little bit longer? Maybe I could wallow in this denial period for a bit... at least until I'm ready to spill my secret. Or until Lucy spills it for me.

Sighing, I finished getting dressed.
