My heart shattered hearing her words. I opened my eyes and saw the fire burning in her gaze as she stared at me. Something was eating away at her.

"Judy-"

'No," she said, pulling away from me, making my hands drop to my sides. I suddenly felt cold without her nearness. "The baby isn't yours, so you don't have to worry about it ruining your perfect little life. Just forget about it and forget about me. I'm embarrassed enough. I need to get out of here."

Without another word or looking in Sampson's direction, Judy hurried out of the room, tears spilling down her cheeks. It took everything I had not to chase after her; in fact, I was about to, but Lucy rushed past me, calling her name as tears fell down her own cheeks.

I was alone now with Sampson, who was staring at me. I knew he wanted to ask questions, but he wouldn't dare pry into my personal life, though I knew that he cared for Judy, so that might be enough to push him into asking me what he wanted to know.

"I didn't realize you and Judy knew one another..." Sampson finally said after a long silence. "She doesn't really talk about where she came from, but she was sent here by Alpha Levi. I never asked her any questions."

I looked at him and I could see the concern lingering on his face. It was clear he cared for Judy; it didn't make me jealous because I knew from the short time I've been here; he's infatuated with his mate. Mated male wolves don't pose a threat to me.

"She's from my territory," I told him.
