When I got to the hospital, Elizabeth was already waiting for me in the waiting room. 

Taylor must have told her that I was on my way. My wolf growled slightly upon seeing her, anticipating an argument. 

“Don’t try and stop me,” I said through my teeth. “I need to see her.” 

“I wasn’t going to stop you, Alpha,” she told me, surprising me. “But I do need to speak to you about something before you go in there.” 

I paused and looked at her. I could see the seriousness and concern in her eyes, and it made my entire body freeze. 

“What is it?” I asked. “What happened?” 

“Did Judy eat or drink anything at the party?” She asked. 

I thought back to the party, a frown marring my lips. There was a ton of food being catered before everyone gathered for the Alpha’s speech. Judy was offered wine, but she declined. Then she was offered some juice, which she accepted. She also ate a little off a platter that was being served as well, but it wasn’t a lot. 

“Yes,” I remarked. “She was offered Juice and some food off a platter. I had some of the food as well.” 

“Was the juice sealed?” She asked suddenly. 

“It was in a glass,” I answered. “The staff initially tried to give her wine, but she declined i evening. So, they got her juice instead.” 

Eliza hummed as she nodded. 

“What is it?” I urged, my patience running thin. 

“She didn’t just have Moonshade in her system. There were traces of Wolfbane as well…” 

My heart stopped. 

“What??” I asked. 

ng she wasn’t drinking this 

“I wanted to test for it just in case because of the blood… I didn’t think that just stress caused it. The results took longer to come back, but they did come back, and there was Wolfbane in her system,” she told me. “I think that’s what caused the almost, miscarriage. When she got here, they sedated her and left her… I think they were waiting for the Wolfbane to finish its job. The IV they had given to her had traces of it as well, but thankfully, I got here in time and removed it before it did any real damage. Her wolf had faced some serious complications from it, though, and is a lot weaker than it was before all of this happened. Her wolf is unable to protect the baby right now… at least not until she gets stronger. It’s better if she rests and doesn’t have too much stress. I didn’t tell her about the wolfbane because I worried it would upset her more than she already is… but I did tell her about everything else before I knew about the Wolfbane and the fact that her wolf is weak. I wish I hadn’t said anything… but she can’t handle anything more right now.” 

I nodded, my fists clenching and unclenching. 

Anger was fueling me, and I knew I needed to calm down before I actually saw her. I needed to blow off some steam. She was right; Judy couldn’t handle more stress right now, especially if her wolf is unable to protect the baby in her current state. 

I turned away without another word and quickly rushed out of the hospital. I shifted into my wolf form, shredding my clothes in the process. The second I was in wolf form and running towards the open forest, I sent a mindlink to Taylor. 

“Find out who worked at the Redmoon Pack during the party. Someone there drugged my mate, and I want him dead.”
