Chapter 0169
Judy’s POV
“You’re a miracle working,” Beta Taylor breathed. “There’s not even a scar left.”
“I can’t take all the credit,” a woman’s voice replied. er wolf is strong and was able to heal most of her already. 1 only applied some ointment to help with the external Injuries.”
“Alpha Gavin will be pleased when he sees her,” Taylor sald. “When do you think she’ll wake up?”
“She was overly exhausted and very dehydrated, not to mention a little malnourished from this week,‘ the woman said softly. “I can’t imagine what she went through this week. We should let her rest a little further.”
I groaned as my fingers twitched to life and both their voices faded away. I managed to open my eyes but closed them upon seeing the bright light of whatever room I was in. I could tell I was in bed, and I could hear the light beeping of the heart monitor near the bed.
I must have been in the hospital. I remembered Beta Taylor carrying me out of the Cash family manor, and then everything went black as I passed out. He must have brought me to the Silver Crescent Hospital, which was known to have the best doctors in the world.
“It seems she’s waking up now,” the woman said, sounding pleased.
“Once again, you’re a miracle worker,” Taylor said, sounding far too proud of this woman.
She chuckled and for the first time, it sounded almost intimate. My brows furrowed together as I moved my head, trying to get a feel for my body. Thankfully, I wasn’t feeling any pain, and I was even able to move my hand, which meant it was no longer sprained.
“Behave yourself, Taylor,” the woman said.
I heard him kissing her and her breathy chuckles. When I opened my eyes for the second time, it was a bit easier this time. I looked over to see Taylor kissing the side of her face and she playfully shoved him away.
“Not while I’m working,” she murmured against him
“But I’ve missed you,” he replied. “You’ve been gone too long.”
“It’s my job. You know there was an emergency in a different faraway pack that I had to attend to. But I’m here now and I’m not going anywhere for a while. We have time to catch up,” she assured him.
He pouted and wrapped his arms around her.
“I know,” he sighed. “It’s not fair. No one else is separated from their mate for this long.”
Mate?!
This woman was Beta Taylor’s mate?? I knew that Taylor was mated, but I honestly didn’t think much about it. I had no idea that his mate was a doctor in the Silver Crescent hospital, let alone a traveling doctor.

“It’s been 2 weeks,” she chuckled..
Neither of them noticed that my eyes were now open as they fell into an easy conversation. As they continued to talk, I examined her for a long while. She was very pretty with her long blond hair pulled back into a neat ponytail and her large, framed glasses She wore a long white doctor’s coat with a pink collared shirt underneath. She was tall and thin, but not as tall as Taylor. He still towered over her by at least a foot, and they looked so comfortable with one another.
It was strange to see Taylor like this and it melted my heart a little.
Taylor was the first to notice that I was awake, and his eyes widened.
“Oh, sorry,” he said, stepping away from his mate. “I didn’t notice you were awake. How are you feeling?”
The doctor then glanced at me and her eyes also widened as her cheeks grew impossibly pink. “My apologies,” she said, straightening out her coat. “Do you feel any pain? Are you able to speak?”
I licked my dry lips.
“I think so,” I said hoarsely. “Um… do you have any water?”
“Oh, course,” she said quickly as she grabbed a water bottle from the nearby mini fridge and brought it over to me. She opened the top, cracked the seal, and brought it to my lips, helping me take a slow and steady sip. The cold water soothed my aching throat and made me feel a million times better. I couldn’t remember the last time I had a drink of water, but it was just what I needed.
“How long have I been here for?” I asked, glancing between the two of them.
“Only for the night,” Taylor said. “You slept all night and into the morning. It’s mid–morning right now.”
I nodded and glanced around at my surroundings; I was right, it was a hospital with the Silver Crescent Silver symbol on the wall.
“You were overly tired,” the doctor informed me. “And dehydrated. But other than that, you are healthy, and all your injuries have been healed.”
“And my
face?” I asked, remembering that Kelsey scratched me with her Wolfsbane nail polish. I reached up to touch my cheek, but I felt nothing there.
“Your face looks good as new,” the doctor assured me “Not even a scar.
