Chapter 584

Judy's POV

"You'll be able to leave by tomorrow morning. Everything is looking good, Judy. However, did you know that you are pregnant?" Dr. Jasper asked. My heart stopped at his words; of course, I already knew that I was pregnant, but the reminder of it was gut-wrenching. I had known that I was pregnant, and because of that, I put my baby in danger. A baby, I wasn't even sure I wanted until I almost lost it.

I put my hand on my belly and closed my eyes; I tried to feel some kind of connection with the fetus, but I felt nothing yet. I wasn't even showing. I knew most of the changes won't happen until I'm 4 months pregnant. That's when I'll start to show, and that's when my wolf would refuse to shift out of protection of her young pup. That's also when the baby's father, granted he was in the same area, would recognize the baby as his.

I trembled at the thought; I wouldn't put my baby through that emotional heartbreak. I would never have this baby feeling unwanted by someone who is supposed to love them unconditionally. I wanted to cry, but I refused to do so in front of anyone I wasn't comfortable with.

"Judy?" Dr. Jasper asked again, drawing my attention to the present moment. I blinked a few times, adjusting my eyes to him as he stood in front of me, clipboard in hand.

I passed out yesterday after I escaped the explosion in the forest, and I was brought to the pack hospital by some of the other gamma warriors. I wasn't out for long because of my wolf's natural healing abilities. But it was long enough to concern the doctors and kept me for overnight observation.

“Uh... yeah,” I told him; I knew there was no use in lying to him. The doctor who did the pregnancy test most likely kept a record of the results, and that was something Dr. Jasper would see if he looked further in my chart. "I know I'm pregnant."

He frowned as he stared at me, cocking his head to the side.

"Does the Alpha know?"

I bit my lower lip, staring at the ground and refusing to meet his eyes. He would see the truth in the truth immediately if I looked at him.

"Of course he does," I lied through my teeth.

I could feel myself melting under his scrutiny.

"Does he? Because that's surprising. He would never let you go on post last night if he knew you were pregnant. That's a huge liability and plus in about 2 months, you won't be able to shift until you give birth, not to mention you'll be showing. You won't be beneficial for your team."

I nibbled on my lower lip until I could taste blood; I knew he was right. had to tell Sampson the truth. Kwas stupid yesterday for going ompost knowing that I was pregnant.

"I was reckless," I admitted. "I'll tell him everything. I just need a little time. I'm still trying to process this myself."

Dr. Jasper nodded, his eyes narrowed.

"Don't wait too long. Now that it's been brought to my attention, it's not something

I can keep from my Alpha," he warned me.

"I understand," I said, my voice coming out more like a squeak.

He nodded and then took a step back to give me space.

"Get some rest and make sure you keep drinking water. I'll come back to check on you later," he told me as he started towards the door.noveldrama

Without another word, he slipped through the door, shutting it behind him. I groaned as I rested my head on the pillow. How did things get so messy I really should call home and check in with my parents, but I knew if I did, then I would have to tell them the truth, and that was something I couldn't face right now. There was a knot in my belly at the very thought.

Kone

I closed my eyes, trying to get some sleep, though I found myself restless and unable to actually drift off. After what felt like hours, there was a knock on the door. I opened my eyes to see Lucy walking into the room.

She had a worried expression on her face, but she smiled when she saw me.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, approaching the bed.

"I'm okay," I told her. "Better than I did last night."

She nodded, a frown marring her lips a she assessed my face.
