Chapter 647 Drunken Night
Judy’s POV
I was surprised by how many pack mates showed up this evening. There were so many that arrived at the bar to show their support; it wasn’t just women… it was men too. It was both the Redmoon and the Silver Crescent Packs that showed.
Old friends, new friends, and those I didn’t even think knew my name. It was a bachelorette party that I couldn’t forget, no matter how drunk I got.
Olivia wasn’t the only one who told me she was sorry and said they wanted me as their Luna. I was being bowed to left and right.
I was overwhelmed with emotions, and I couldn’t seem to stop crying by the end of the night.
“I can’t believe she’s still crying,” Irene whispered to Erik and Nan as we got back into the car at the end of the night… well, technically it was the middle of the night.
“Let’s bring her back to her parents’ house so she can sleep this off. Gavin will kill us if she’s too far gone tomorrow,” Erik said, sounding worried.
“Yeah, she’s really drunk,” Nan said, biting her bottom lip like she was stifling a laugh. “Good thing we are werewolves, and we recover from being drunk fairly quickly.”
“Not as much has she drunk,” Erik said, his nose crinkling. “We really should get her back so she can sleep this off.”
“Let me wipe the smudged makeup off her face,” Irene whispered, and I felt the warmth of her tissue on my cheek as she wiped away the lingering tears and smeared makeup.
I could only imagine how I must have looked to them at this moment. I was getting married tomorrow for crying out loud; this was not the way a Luna should be looking. I was the Luna of the most extensive territory in the world and was about to be Gavin Landry’s wife. My emotions were all over the place; not to mention, I was still emotional after having a baby.
“Come on, you,” Nan said, wrapping an arm around me. “You are way too gone to be standing. Sit down in the car and take a deep breath.”
I wasn’t even aware that I was still standing, if I were to be honest. I had such a fantastic time tonight with my friends and those I wasn’t expecting to have fun with. I even shared a few laughs with Olivia. She seemed genuine when she apologized, and because I’m going to be her Luna soon enough, I accepted the apology.
I was so dizzy; the tequila shots and all the other things I’ve drunk throughout the night were really hitting me hard right now. I hadn’t taken a sip of alcohol since before I was pregnant, and even then, I didn’t drink much. I had always been a lightweight.
I probably shouldn’t have drunk so much before my wedding.
At some point, I must have fallen asleep because I barely remembered taking the ride to my parents’ house until I heard my father’s voice.

“What the hell happened? She’s getting married tomorrow,” my father said, his voice booming across his yard, and I could almost imagine the disapproving look on his face!
I was being carried, and I assumed it was Erik, since he was the strongest of my friends.
“She drank a little too much,” my mother explained, and I didn’t even know she was there. “I knew I should have stayed behind with her.”
Oh, that’s right, my mother left the bar fairly early because it was getting late and she was tired. As were Selene and Cora. But they promised me they would see me at the wedding tomorrow night, so I didn’t fret
too much.
“She’s getting married tomorrow,” my father repeated. “She’s a mess. How could you let her drink this much?”
“She’ll be fine,” my mother assured him. “She will recover by the morning, and then she will walk down that aisle. You don’t need to worry. Nan, how about you grab her a glass of water? Irene, you can help Erik bring her to her bedroom and tuck her into bed. I’ll be up there in a few minutes.”
“We need to call the Alpha,” my father said, and I knew he was probably shaking his head. “I’ll get a hold of Gavin.”
“Does he really have to know?” Irene asked, a bit nervously. “He’s going to be so mad that I allowed this to happen.”
“He’ll be even more mad when he finds out about this. According to Shelly, there were a ton of pack mates. there. Both from the Silver Crescent and Redmoon.”
“It’s true… even our Luna, Lucy, showed up at one point, along with Alpha Sampson. They wanted to congratulate Judy on her upcoming wedding and baby because they hadn’t seen her in awhile. But she was already so drunk. I don’t think she even noticed them.”
My mother was right; I hadn’t noticed them at all, and I felt terrible. If I remembered this tomorrow, I would have to apologize.
My father sighed.
“It’s decided, Alpha Gavin needs to know about this,” he said softly. “Or he will have all of our heads for keeping this from him.”
“I know you’re right,” my mother said, letting out a breath. “Just get her to her room,” she said to Irene and Erik.
“Of course,” Erik said without hesitation, and then I felt the movement as he started towards the house.
The familiar scent of my family home engulfed me, and felt the warmth spreading through me,
This was familiar territory; this was where I grew up, and I was comfortable here. I was loopy and saying things out loud, I was sure of it. I could hear Irene chuckling softly and Erik agreeing with me, but I could hardly understand what I was saying, let alone what they were responding to.
Then, I felt the presence of my room and the soft blankets of my bed engulfing me. I was here… I was okay… I was home. But not really home; my home was with Gavin and our family. I missed Ryder so much, but I also really missed my mate. I wanted to be held and loved by him. I knew I was going to see him in the

evening, but my wolf was nearly broken without him.
I needed him, and the thought made tears fill my eyes again. It was something that Irene had noticed because she started to wipe them away as they slipped off my cheeks.
“It’s okay,” she said softly. “You’re okay.”
I sniffled and wiped at my eyes, but I didn’t say anything.
Soon, Nan arrived with a glass of water, and she brought it to my lips while Irene helped to sit me up. How did I become such a mess so quickly? This wasn’t how this night was supposed to go. Yes, it was incredibly fun, but I shouldn’t have drunk so much the night before my wedding.
My father was right; It was a stupid move on my part.
The water soothed the ache in my throat, and I let out a satisfied breath.
“You need to get some rest,” Nan told me, keeping her voice low. “We’ll be back in the morning to help get you ready for your wedding.”
I nodded, but my eyes remained shut. I worried that it would hurt if I even attempted to open them.
I felt Nan kiss my forehead, and then I felt Irene kiss my cheek.
“Goodnight, future, Mom,” she teased as she pulled away.
I would have laughed if I weren’t so uncomfortable. I’m not sure how long I had been lying in bed for. I probably dozed off at some point, but then I felt the bed dipping slightly and the soft hand of my mother on my forehead. This time, I did open my eyes to look up at her, and she stared back down at me with a sympathetic look in her eyes.
“I’m sorry, sweetheart. I probably shouldn’t have let you drink so much,” she said with a sigh.
“It’s not your fault,” I managed to croak, my throat feeling parched.
She grabbed the glass of water Nan left on my bedside and brought it to my lips.
“Drink slowly and take this medicine,” she ordered, handing me a couple of pills.
I took the medication and popped them in my mouth as I took a big swallow of the water. I let out a contented sigh and rested my head back on my pillow.
“Get some more sleep. You have a big day this evening, and you’ll need as much sleep as possible,” she told me. “It’s 2 am as of right now. You have a few hours of rest.”
I nodded and let my eyes drift shut, my body relaxing against the bedsheets, and everything else in the world faded away.
