Chapter 547

She let out a soft moan as I massaged her scalp, a sound that went straight to my dick. I adjusted myself and ignored the aching feeling between my legs as I continued to run my fingers through her hair, making sure each strand was lathered in my shampoo. My wolf liked the fact that she was covered in our scent, right down to her hair, and I had to admit, I didn't hate it.

I rinsed out her hair and then repeated the same steps with the conditioner. Once she was completely clean, I let her soak a bit longer in the tub as I cleaned up the bathroom. I went to check on Irene to make sure she was soundly sleeping in her bed. She was completely dead to the world.

I checked my phone and saw that Rachel had left me a few messages. I thought about opening them to see what she wanted, but I decided to just ignore them for now. I put my phone on my nightstand, plugging it into the charger.

I pulled off my suit, neatly folding it and placing it on the dresser on the far side of the room. I grabbed a pair of sweatpants and threw them on, leaving myself shirtless. I stared at myself in the mirror, my abs were bulging from my morning workout, and I found myself flexing in the mirror. I wasn't condescending, but I knew I was good-looking.

The soft sounds of Judy crying caused me to pause. My heart shattered into a million pieces when I heard the soft sounds of her sobs. I heard the water splashing slightly as she attempted to get out of the tub, and then she cursed under her breath out of frustration.

I quickly walked back into the bathroom; she paused and looked at me as if she had been caught doing something she shouldn't have been doing. She was hanging over the side of the tub, attempting to get out, but failing miserably. Her eyes were red-rimmed, and I knew from the sight of her reddened face, tear-filled eyes, and the sounds I heard a moment ago, she had been crying.

My heart shattered at the sight.

"Let me help you," I told her, my tone controlled as I took a couple of strides towards her. She didn't resist me as I wrapped my arms around her naked body and pulled her out of the tub. I walked her over to the sink, placing her down. She shivered, but she was trying hard not to. I stifled a smile, finding it cute.

I grabbed a towel, wrapping it around her body.noveldrama

I stared at her for a moment. I could see that the slight flush in her cheeks from the alcohol was fading, and her eyes were more focused; she was sobering.

"I'm sorry..." she whispered brokenly, tears spilling her eyes and before I could react, they were spilling out of her eyes and down her cheeks.

I quickly cupped her face, wiping her tears away with my thumbs.

"Hey," I said soothingly. "Why are you sorry?"

"Because I ruined everything..." she whispered. "I'm so embarrassed..."

Something told me she wasn't just talking about the banquet, and it tugged at my heart.

"You didn't ruin anything, Judy," I told her softly. I wrapped her in my arms and held her close to my chest. She buried her face in my chest, listening to the steady beating of my heart; it seemed to be calming her. I can my fingers up and down her back

soothingly.

I lifted her off the counter and brought her into my bedroom. She didn't say

anything as I lay her down on the bed.

I left her in the room for a moment

so I could grab some water from the

kitchen downstairs. Thankfully, Chester wasn't there. I didn't want anyone to ask questions about why I was there so late at night. Once I returned to Judy, she was lying down, but her eyes were fixed on the ceiling.

"You need to drink," I told her, handing her the cup of water. She lifted her head and took small sips of the water.

"Thanks," she whispered.

I nodded and sat beside her in bed.

I wrapped her back in my arms, pulling her flesh against me. She went willingly.

"Why are you taking care of me?" She asked, her voice coming out as barely a whisper.

That was a loaded question with an answer I didn't have just one to. Because she was mine... because will always take care of her... because I will always protect her. Because despite all the chaos in my life, the only thing constant is her.

Instead of telling her with words, I lifted her chin with my fingers, making her look

at me, and then I brought my lips to hers.
