Chapter 157
If I knew , I wouldnt be asking , I said exasperated .
Talk to me , Matt , I said more softly as I walked closer to his bed .
Why are you upset with me ? Matt swallowed and I could see the moisture in his eyes ; it broke my heart .
Whatever was wrong … It serious .
What did you say to Judy that made her not want to see me ? I raised my brows at his question .
What ? I asked .
I was Before I passed out , after the Epi … you were angry , and I remember you saying something to her .
Then everything went dark , and I woke up here .
Its been days since that , Dad , and Judy hasnt come to see me once.
I couldnt even smell her scent when I woke up , which means she hadnt been here at all .
You had to have said something to her to make her stay away from me .
Even young wolves had an excellent sense of smell , and I knew he would be able to pick up Judys scent anywhere .
He was around her often enough that her scent probably became normal to him .
I wasn surprised that hed be able to smell if she was here or not … I just didnt think he would truly care that much .
Matt , you have to understand , I only did this for your own good.
Judy is dangerous Dangerous ?? Matt gasped , his eyes large and turning red with anger .
It was a look I had never seen before .
Judy wouldnt hurt anyone unless they truly deserved it , Dad , and you know that .
I sighed and sat down on the edge of his bed .
Look … I began , not sure what I wanted to say , but I knew I needed to say something to calm him .
Judy was the one who fed you that sandwich , Matt .
She was careless and because of her actions , I almost lost you .
I cant have someone like that around my family .
So , you told her to stay away ?? Matt asked , his eyes wide .
So , I was right .
Thats why she hasnt come to see me … you scared her away .
The only tutor I ever liked … I can find you another tutor- There is no one like her and you know that , Matt shouted … I was stunned speechless , which never happens .
He had never raised his voice at me like this before … he had never spoken to anyone like this before .
I couldnt believe he was standing up for her after what she did .
You almost died , Matt , I said a bit louder and way harsher than I meant .
It wasnt her fault ! She gave you the sandwich and- And I put the peanut butter in it ! He screamed .
Chapter 012 My words fell short as I stared at him … bewildered .
What did you just say ? I asked him after a beat of silence .
I was the one who put peanut butter in it .
I did it behind Judys back , so she didnt know even know about it .
Youre accusing the wrong person .
It was my fault … I had no words .
How ? Why ? What ? I dont understand … I managed to say .
I forgot I was allergic , and I wanted to try it , he murmured .
I was careless .
But it wasnt Judys fault .
Please , Dad .
Dont punish her because of my actions .
I will never do it again … but please dont be angry with her .
I let out the breath I hadnt known I was holding .
Judy was innocent ? She didnt know about the peanut butter in the sandwich .
Maybe I should have listened to her in the first place .
Alpha … a mindlink came through .
It was Beta Taylor .
We have a new discovery about the peanut butter .
The perpetrator is in custody .
