hapter 0164 She was trembling and keeping her eyes on her open wound .
I wrapped my arms around her , hating how tense she was from my touch .
I pulled her into me and lifted her into my arms .
She sucked in a sharp breath as she held onto me with her good hand and carefully positioned her injured hand away so she wouldnt get any blood on me .
Take me to your bathroom , I ordered Raymond .
Yes , Alpha , he said quickly as he rushed out of the dining hall .
I followed after him , not bothering to spare the mother and daughter duo another look .
As we walked down the hallway , I heard a loud gasp from nearby .
Judy ?? Michele exclaimed .
What happened ? Are you okay ? Im okay , Mom , she said weakly .
Just a little cut .
Shes losing a lot of blood .
I need to patch it before she loses anymore , I said as I continued to follow Raymond down the hall .
We entered the bathroom and just as Raymond was about to say something more , I slammed the door in his face .
I let out a breath of air .
Judy was still tense , and her eyes were fixed on her wound .
I set her down on the counter as I searched the bathroom for a first aid kit .
It didnt take long to find one under the sink You dont have to do this , Judy said , breaking the silence .
I glanced up at her briefly before I rummaged through the first aid kit , uncovering bandages and ointment .
Do you expect me to let you bleed out ? I asked her in return .
She shrugged her shoulder , but she said nothing .
I grabbed her hand and turned on the water to the sink.
The moment my hand wrapped around her wrist , she tensed and made it impossible for me to move her .
I frowned at her .
Just let me take care of you , I breathed , my body becoming so aware of hers that I was practically on fire .
She stared into my eyes for a moment longer before relaxing herself .
I brought her hand to the warm water and started to rinse out her wound .
She winced from the sting and her body tensed once again , but it only lasted a moment .
Soon , she was relaxing again , and she was releasing a breath of relief .
I ran circles with my thumb around her wrist , soothing her , as I cleaned her wound .
With each stroke of my thumb , she relaxed even more and I notice she was now looking at me periodically .
I tried to pretend I didnt notice , but I could feel the heat of her stare on the side of my face , and I had to fight the smile tugging at the corner of my lips .
Why are you here? She asked , breaking the thick silence that started to consume us .
I grabbed the bandages , along with some ointment that will keep her wound from getting infected .
I came here for you .
