Seducing My Ex’s Father In Law novel Chapter 386

Judy’s POV

I shifted back into human form as I lay on the ground, staring at Sherry who remained unconscious, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. Had I killed her? I wasn’t aiming for her heart, I was aiming to miss her heart, I just wanted to knock her out, to get her away from me and to stop attacking. I didn’t mean to….

My thoughts were interrupted as the medics rushed past me and towards Sherry’s still body. I watched as they examined her, carefully removing the knife and the arrow from her body, attempting to stop the rapid bleeding and injecting her with something, and made her release a shuddering breath. Hearing her breath made my own heartbeat again and I felt the weight of the world crashing down around me.

She was alive.

I hadn’t killed her.

I was too preoccupied in my own breathing and heartbeat that I didn’t hear what the doctors were saying to her. She still seemed out of it, not sure where she was, and the bleeding was constant; her wolf hadn’t started to heal her yet.

As the medics moved around her, trying to get her back on her feet as quickly as possible, the crowd still remained completely quiet; I wasn’t even sure if any of them were breathing.

I stared at Sherry’s pale face; her lip trembling and her eyes void of emotion as she struggled to keep her breath in check.

Another medic came out with supplies; they were trying to get her strong enough to continue the fight, but she looked so broke and weak at that moment.

Just as he knelt beside her and got to work, her eyes flickered to me and for a moment, I saw a hint of vulnerability and defeat in them.

I kept my eyes on her, wanting to tell her that I’m sorry for hurting her, but I couldn’t because this was the competition, and I couldn’t show any signs of weakness. Instead, I clutched the bow and arrow tightly, waiting for any wrong move, waiting for her to suddenly get her second wind and attack me. I wasn’t going to let her catch me off guard; this could be an elaborate show.

It was this type of thinking that Gammas had… the type of thinking that made me a good candidate for any gamma force… or so I’ve been told.

She saw the bow and arrow clutched in my grasp and a swear I saw a small smile twitching the corner of her lips.

Everyone sucked in a sharp breath at her barely audible words; my mouth nearly dropped open as I released the bow and arrow, letting them fall to the ground beside me.

The medics looked at one another.

“Final say, are you sure?” One of them asked.

“Yes,” she whispered. “I surrender.”

They nodded as they retrieved the stretcher, lifting her up. She winced in pain as they got her onto the stretcher, one of her stitches popping open and more blood trickled down her side. She was certainly in no shape to continue fighting; it was a smart choice, though I knew it was killing her.

She still fought bravely and there will definitely be scouts in contact with her soon.
