Chapter Nine

“Hudson, this is ridiculous. I’m fine.” Erica gritted her teeth as they stopped in front of Abigail’s cabin. The only reason she hadn’t stopped him earlier was because she hadn’t wanted to make a scene in front of his other packmates. But this had to end here and now. She wanted to tell Hudson she was pregnant alone.

“Then this shouldn’t take long,” he said, already opening the front door to Abigail’s cabin as he set Erica on her feet.

“Shouldn’t you knock—”

“Texted her on the way here. She said to come right on in.”

She blinked. “How the hell did you do that?” While he was carrying her. He must have been stealth texting then because she hadn’t noticed.

He just shrugged and as they stepped inside Abigail entered her living room from the kitchen.

“Hey guys. I hear you’re not feeling well, Erica?” The petite Asian wolf’s serene smile was in place as Hudson closed the door behind them.

“Ah…yeah. I wouldn’t mind talking to you. In private.” She didn’t look at Hudson as she said it because she wasn’t sure what his expression would be.

Abigail, an older wolf, didn’t bat an eyelash as she nodded.

Hudson made a sort of strangled sound but didn’t say anything else as Erica stepped closer to the healer.

“You want to talk in my office or the exam room?”

“Office is fine.” She didn’t need a checkup.

Once they were sitting inside, Abigail shut the sturdy door and said, “This room is soundproofed, so you’ve got true privacy. Hudson only texted that you’d gotten sick.”

“Ah, yes.”

“You’re pregnant though. Not sick. And I take it he doesn’t realize it yet?”

Erica blinked as she sat on the comfy loveseat. “Are you psychic too?”

Smiling in that serene way that made Erica want to tell Abigail all her secrets, the healer sat across from her in a high-backed chair. With no makeup on and her jet-black hair pulled back into two braids, she looked even younger than Erica. And Erica knew the healer was over a hundred.

“No, I can scent it.” She touched one finger to her nose. “And before you ask, no, not all healers have that ability. But I do. It’s deductive reasoning anyway. You came back here after a month, and Hudson said you threw up. I might have guessed anyway.”

“Well then…” Erica wasn’t sure what to say.

“Have you spoken to a healer back home?”

“I have.”

“Are there any concerns?”

“No.”

“Okay then. If there’s anything you need while you’re here, just let me know.”

“I will.” It was Erica’s instinct to ask her not to tell anyone but she knew Abigail wouldn’t. She was a healer—and a doctor. Patient confidentiality and all that.

“I hope you stay,” Abigail said as she stood. “He’s missed you. A lot.”

Erica joined her. “Really?” As soon as she asked the question she felt stupid.

But Abigail just laughed and shoved her hands in her jeans pockets. “Yeah. He’s been pretty cranky without you. And I’m toning that down—he’s kind of been an ass. And that’s not like Hudson. He might be surly but he’s not an ass.
