I dont know if Im serious about anything , he blurted , and I could see the panic in his eyes .

I havent even thought about this long enough to know what I actually want .

I never thought Id find my mate , Judy .

I never thought I even wanted a mate in the first place .

Wait … what ? I asked , my eyes narrowed .

Are you thinking about rejecting her ? He bit his lip , refusing to meet my eyes .

That was all the answer I needed ; my heart hurts for Nan .

Well then if you have to reject her , then I would do it sooner than later , I told him , almost bitterly .

I wasnt hungry anymore , so I pushed my plate away and stood to my feet .

Put the poor girl out of her misery .

Without another word , I left the kitchen , leaving him alone with these thoughts .

Gavins POV So , I know that Irene is claiming her leg hurts… but Ive done 3 different X rays , Alpha and theres nothing physically wrong with her , Elizabeth Pierce said .

I sighed and leaned against the wall ; we stood in the hallway , and we had been in the hospital since yesterday .

Irene kept crying that her leg hurt and wouldnt let me leave .

I ran my fingers through my hair , feeling exhausted .

I hadnt been able to sleep ; I tried to get a few hours in the Hospital chair , but I was uncomfortable , and Irene was whimpering for most of the night .

I asked Elizbeth to do numerous tests to find out what was wrong with her leg , but shes been coming up blank .

I trusted her judgment because she was the best doctor in the world after all .

I nodded Thank you , I told her .

So , I can take her home ? Elizabeth nodded .

Yes , she replied .

Im sure she could use some rest and her own bed .

Ill prescribe some sugar pills … we can tell her its pain medication .

It seems her pain is strictly mental and doesnt actually exist .

If she thinks shes taking medication to help with her pain , then her pain will go away .

I nodded .

I appreciate that , I told her .

Ill get that right away , she said as she retreated from the area .

With a sigh , I walked back into the hospital room .

Irene was scrolling through her phone , her brows pinched together .

Everything okay ? I asked .

She froze when she saw me walking into the room ; she put her phone on the bed beside her and grabbed at her leg , tears filling her eyes .

Yes … my leg , just hurt , and Ethan hadnt come to see me once , she whimpered .

I sighed again and sat at the edge of her bed , taking her hands in mine .

Im sure hes just busy .

Im going of take you home and- Chapter 233

Take me home ?? She gasped .

But what about my leg ? Daddy , it hurts ! I nodded .

I know , I told her .

Dr.

Pierce is going to prescribe some medication to to go home to get some rest .

She bit her lower as more tears spilled out of her eyes .

O … okay , she stammered .

With the pain and then we are going Once we are home , we can try to call Ethan and see if he can come over to see you .

I dont know if anyone even told him you were injured , I told her .

She nodded and wiped her eyes .

I glanced at the clock and saw that it was nearing afternoon , I told Judy that I would pick her up in a few hours and we could get some dinner and spend the night together .

I felt bad that I hadnt been around her much .

I kind of left her high and dry the other day and we really havent talked much .

I wanted to spend some extra time with her tonight and make up for it .

Elizabeth returned with the medication and gave Irene a tablet right off the bat with some water .

Its a powerful medication , so only one a day is needed , she warned ; she then looked up at me and winked .

I mouthed , Thank you before turning my attention back to Irene who had swallowed the tablet and drank half the water .

Beta Taylor met us at the hospital and took us back home .

helped Irene into her room and got her settled into bed with her phone .

Once she was settled , I went off into my own room and started to get ready for my evening with Judy .

I glanced at the clock ; I only had a few minutes before I needed to leave , Just as I left my room and started down the stairs , I heard Irene screaming and crying .

My entire body froze , and I rushed into her room .

Whats going on ? I asked , expecting to find someone in her room , but I found no one .

I reeled in my angry wolf and looked at my crying daughter .

Irene ? What is it ? Ethan wont answer my calls ! She cried .

I groaned .

Then Irene narrowed her eyes at me .

Are you going somewhere ? She asked me .

I looked down at my suit and then nodded .

Yeah , I was about to head out … I started to say , but she only cried harder ..

Please dont leave , Daddy ! I dont have Ethan and nobody else is here to help and support me .

I need you ! I can get one of the maids to tend to your needs , I assured her .

More tears streaked down her cheeks , You are never around anymore , and I miss you ! She cried Please , dont leave me again , Daddy ! Please !!
