Chapter 18 - Alone

Eric POV

I understood Cami’s parents were distraught about the news that their daughter had been attacked. I could not understand how they were treating Julia. It was not her fault that a rogue wolf had taken an interest in her. And it was not her fault that Cami had been hurt, obviously by mistake.

I took Julia to another private area in the hospital. Jackson knew where we were, and he agreed to have us notified immediately on Cami’s condition as soon as she was out of surgery. Julia was incredibly quiet. I knew she was barely holding herself together. I hoped she would lean on me, but I also knew she was angry and confused.

As we entered the private room, Julia moved to take a seat away from me. I took her hand and pulled her into my arms, simply holding her stiff body. I started to feel her relax, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The tension was leaving her body, allowing her to start to feel her emotions.
