Chapter 0261 She nodded and stared down at her hands , tugging her fingers nervously .
I knew it was now or never , I needed to ask her the question weighing on my mind .
1 What exactly did you see earlier , Irene ? I asked .
You said you saw Judy shooting him ? She nodded and turned to face the .
She did it on purpose .
I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair .
I knew Judy and I knew she would never hurt spite .
She wouldnt do that , I murmured , shaking my head .
Irene folded her arms across her chest and glared at me .
She cant be trusted , Daddy , Irene stated simply .
What do you have against Judy ? She blinked a few times like she was trying to adjust her eyes .
What ? She asked .
Matt , especially out of You used to be friends , I reminded her .
Then you found out shes mated with your fiancé .
That cant be all that happened .
What do you have against her ? She was never my friend , Irene murmured .
She lied to me and betrayed me .
Her only crime was not telling you the truth about her and Ethans past .
She still wants him … Irene complained .
Ethan told me that- Ethan also lied to you , Irene , I told her firmly .
If you are to be mad at Judy , then you should be just as mad at him as well .
Its not fair to her that you are treating her like she did something wrong .
She didnt want to hurt you , thats why she didnt tell you .
Theres nothing more to the story than that .
But … she tried to say , but I held up my hand .
I need you to lay off her , Irene , I said , narrowing my eyes at my daughter .
Its not healthy for either of you to keep this grudge going .
Matt was injured badly- That wasnt my fault ! She said quickly .
Im not saying it was , but for right now , we need to start thinking about him and not about our selfishness , I told her .
Do you think you can get over yourself for the sake of your brother ? Hes going to need you these next few weeks while Im gone , and Id like to leave knowing your head is in the right place .
She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and stared at the ground .
She said nothing for a while , but then she sighed and nodded Okay , she whispered .
So , tell me .
What did you see ? I asked again , hoping her answer would be different this time .
She was quiet for a moment , still fixing her eyes on the ground but then she lifted her gaze to look at mine , tears filling her blue eyes .
It was a mistake , she whispered .
Judy was the one who pulled the bow back and shot the arrow into his leg , but she was looking at the target .
Her timing was off … I dont think she would hurt him on purpose .noveldrama
12 Chapter 0261 I sighed and nodded ; I needed to speak to Judy and make sure she was okay .
Now that I knew with certainty that Matt was okay , my anger was subsiding and now all I felt was worried .
It was strange , but it was bubbling inside me and seconds away from boiling over .
Im going to sleep now .
Goodnight , Irene said as she left the parlor .
I grabbed my phone and dialed Judys number .
It went straight to voicemail ; that didnt surprise me .
So , I called Leroy instead .
I knew he must have taken her home .
Hello , Alpha , Leroy greeted me on the other end .
Leroy , I replied .
Has Judy made it home ? Yes , Leroy said .
But then she left again .
What do you mean she left ? I asked , my wolf officially on edge again .
I mean she got into another car , and it drove off .
Chapter 0262 Judys POV So , are you ever going to t me what happened ? Nan asked , eyeing me carefully from across the room .
I was helping her finish packing and then we were heading straight to the airport .
It was so early , the sun hadnt even woken yet .
I finished packing my things last night and then went straight to Nans apartment .
Thankfully , Nan came to pick me up , so I didnt have to tell Leroy where I was going .
I I Nope , I said , not bothering to look at her .
I knew if I did , would fold like a lawn chair .
At some p point , you have to tell me what happened , Judy , Nan said , stepping around me so she could look at my face .
You were devasted when I picked you up last night .
I nibbled on my lower lip .
The problem was , that I was embarrassed .
I was embarrassed about my mistake ; I was embarrassed that I put Matt in harms way .
I was embarrassed that Gavin kicked me out without hearing my explanation .
He Alpha commanded me to leave , and my body wouldnt be satisfied until we were far away .
Irene finally got what she wanted ; I was leaving .
Not right now , I finally conceded .
We have to go , or we are going to miss our flight , I told her .
She sighed but said nothing more .
Nan drove to the airport in her car .
The further we got away from the pack , the better .
I felt more at ease as she parked the car , and we shuffled our belongings inside the airport .
It was a busy morning at the airport ; most everyone in business attire , rushed towards their terminals to catch their last minute flights .
Nan and I seemed out of place in our yoga pants and sweatshirts .
I looked up at her and she gave me an identical look back , knowing we were both thinking just about the same thing We walked over to the bag checking station and got our backs checked .
I kept my backpack as a carry on and Nan had a small duffle bag as hers .
We thanked the woman at the counter and then I grabbed my plane ticket from my bag , glancing at the terminal number .
I think we are upstairs , I told her .
Nan nodded and after we went through security , we rushed up the stairs and towards our terminal number .
We have some time ; can we get coffee ? Nan asked , eyeing the coffee station as we passed .
Sure , I said , digging in my bag for my wallet .
Nan and I ordered our usual coffees before we headed towards our terminal .
I glanced at the time .
We werent scheduled to board for another 30 minutes , so at least we can relax now .
We sat down in one of the seats .
As we were sitting and waiting to be called , my eyes wandered over to a young girl who seemed slightly younger than me .
She had short blonde hair and pale green eyes .
She was thin and looked incredibly nervous .
The one thing that drew my attention was her Gamma sweatshirt .
Without saying a word to Nan , I stood up and walked over to her .
Nan followed after me .
Where are you going ? She asked , a frown decorating her lips .
1 stopped in front of the girl and gave her a warm smile as she startled and glanced up at me .noveldrama
1/3 Chapter 0262 Hi , I said to her .
Uh … hi … she said back , hesitantly , as she glanced between Nan and me .
Are you going to the Gamma Competition too ? I asked her .
She blinked .
What ? I pointed at her sweatshirt .
Thats a Gamma sweatshirt , I told her .
She glanced down at her sweatshirt and her cheeks reddened .
Oh , uh … yeah .
Im heading to the competition , she replie Us too , I said , sitting down beside her .
Im Judy by the way and this is my friend , Nan .
Nan gave the girl a small wave .
Hello , she replied , still looking uneasy .
Im Sammy .
What pack are you from ? Nan asked .
Moonshine .
Oh , thats a bit away from our pack , I said , nodding thoughtfully .
Maybe about an hours drive .
Where are you from ? She asked , her tone soft and wouldnt be audible if I werent sitting right next to her .
Redmoon , I replied .
Oh , she breathed .
I heard you just lost your Alpha .
A while ago , yes , I replied .
He died in a battle .
We have quite a few competing for the new role .
She nodded .
Theres a few male wolves in my pack who also wanted that position , she admitted .
But I told them if they were to make anyone an Alpha for the Redmoon pack , it would be someone from that pack .
31 Not necessarily , I shrugged .
It could be anyone at this point .
So , whos running your pack currently while you wait for a new Alpha to be appointed ? Sammy asked .
The Cash family kind of runs everything , Nan murmured rolling her eyes .
They are like the It family of Redmoon .
Ive heard of them , Sammy said .
They are the Betas right ? And very rich .
I nodded .
Yes , I replied .
Raymond Cash was the Alphas Beta .
My father was the Delta .
Her eyes grew wide .
Wow , she breathed .
So , youre kind of a big deal too , huh ? I wouldnt say that , I murmured .
Chapter 0262 125RGANS Are you kidding me ? Judy is the best deal , Nan said , wrapping an arm around my shoulder , Shes been training for years to be a Gamma warrior and Levi Churchill nominated her to compete in the competition .
At the mention of Alpha Levis name , Sammy tensed , and her cheeks grew red .
hapter 0263 Oh , I see , she murmured .
Then you must be very special What about you ? I asked .
Arent you competing ? She looked down at her sweatshirt again and her shoulders slumped slightly .
No , she said softly .
But Im required to be there to support my gamma .
Oh ? I asked .
She sighed and then looked up at me .
Hes kind of my boyfriend .
My eyes grew wide .noveldrama
Youre dating your gamma ? She nodded , nibbling her lower lip .
Nan looked around with a frown .
Then where is he ? She asked .
He took an earlier flight with a group of his friends , she murmured .
I was left behind .
But Im going anyways .
Over the loudspeaker , I heard our section of the plane being called .
I glanced at Nan who gave me a head nod , indicating that she too heard it .
We have to go , I told her , standing to my feet .
But maybe we will see you there ? She nodded , giving me a small smile .
Yeah , she said softly .
Maybe .
On that note , Nan and I walked towards the terminal gates and handed our tickets to the stewardess before we boarded the plane .
Next stop , tropical paradise ! Nan announced , tugging me along with her .
Third Person POV Back at the villa , Irene went to her brothers room to check on him .
She had just got off the phone with Ethan and he was about to come over .
She needed to speak to him about that woman she saw at his house .
She wasnt going to feel better until she got to the bottom of it .
However , she took her fathers words to heart .
She cant just be mad at Judy ; Ethan also lied to her .
He was just as guilty if not more .
She knocked on Matts door and when there was no answer , she pushed the door open .
Matt was seated in his bed , playing video games .
Of course , thats what he was doing .
Hey , she said , stepping into his room : What do you want ? He asked without even looking up .
The bitterness of his tone took Irene by surprise , and she froze .
Chapter 0263 Whats with the attitude ? she asked , folding her arms across her chest as she stared down at him .
I heard what you said to Judy yesterday , he muttered , shaking his head as he finally pulled his eyes away from his video games to glare up at her .
You were horrible and blamed her for my accident .
Because she shot you , Irene said , pointing to his healing leg .
In another day or so , it would be completely healed thankfully .
It was her fault .
It was my fault .
I moved in front of the target because I saw something on the ground I wanted to pick up , Matt surprised her by saying .
Judy always told me never to move from my current location if someone is shooting because they aim according to placement .
I threw her off balance by moving my position .
I wasnt thinking straight .
It was a rookie mistake .
Irene was stunned , speechless .
She did see Matt moving from his current position , but Judy still should have seen him before releasing the bow .
She wasnt even aiming for me , Matt continued .
She was showing me a trick shot .
The arrow happened to be going in the same direction I moved to .
A trick shot ? Irene asked , furrowing her brows .
You know nothing about what Judy can do , Matt said through his teeth .
Shes an incredible archer and combater and can do things you could only dream of .
This accident was not her fault .
I wanted to tell her that last night , but everyone w was yelling and then Dad listened to you and kicked her out .
He Alpha commanded her , Irene and its your fault .
Irene was shocked .
… uh … she stammered .
Gavin knocked on the door , interrupting their conversation .
Everything okay ? He asked , stepping into the room .
The accident wasnt Judys fault , Matt repeated .
I moved from my original location after she told me countless times not to do that .
If anyone is to blame , its me .
But please , dont be mad at Judy anymore .
I dont want her to quit or get fired … I dont want her to leave .
Tears welled up in Matts eyes and Irene felt a ping of guilt in her chest .
This was her fault completely ; what kind of monster had she become ? And for what ? All for Ethan ? Was he even worth it ? Thank you for telling me that , Gavin said , placing a hand on Matts shoulder .
Dad … you arent going to fire her , are you !! Gavin shook his head .
No , Ive been trying to get a hold of her though .
Her phones off .
Itll have to wait until I come back .
I was coming in here to tell you that Im leaving now , and Ill be gone for a few weeks .
Are you going straight to the Gamma competition ? bly meet some of the It doesnt start for another couple of days .
Im going to check in at the resort and then possibly competitors for dinner this evening , he explained .
Behave while Im gone .
Both of you .
Call if you need anything .
Be good for Beta Taylor .
Okay … they both said at the same time .
Gavin left and Irene glanced back at Matt who still had tears in his eyes .
It was at that moment that Irene knew she messed
Chapter 0264 Third Person POV So , I get information about Alpha Gavins business? Ethan asked .
He was seated at a table in the middle of a restaurant a few packs away from his own .
Others he had never met sat at the table as well .
Each of them with their own tasks .
They all wore business clothes and looked Important ; Ethan fit right in with them .
Levi Churchill sat at the front end of the table ; the one in charge of the operation .
What exactly am I looking for ? Ethan asked , staring around at the table .
Anything and everything is important , Levi answered .
I want to take down his business , I need to know how it operates from the inside .
You are already on the inside since you are engaged to be married to his daughter .
You have access to his home .
Find me personal information … anything … its all useful .
Ethan nodded .
Yes , Alpha , he said , bowing his head as he felt the Lycans powers washing over him .
And what about the girl ? One of the ladies at the table , Ethan couldnt quite remember her name , asked .
You mentioned she was going to the Gamma competition ? Ethan knew she was asking about Judy .
Judy was open conversation for a bit and it was made clear to Alpha Levi that Judy had been involved with Gavin .
I already have someone keeping an eye on her there , Levi replied .
Plus , Ill be heading there in the morning as well .
Gavin will also be there , so this gives Ethan a prime opportunity to get all the information he can for the next few weeks .
Can I count on you to do that ? He narrowed his eyes at Ethan as he said that last part .
Yes , Alpha , Ethan repeated his earlier statement Levi nodded and then stared at the rest of them .
You know what to do , he murmured .
You are dismissed With that , everyone packed up their things and took off in the vehicles they came in .
Ethan ran his fingers through his hair and started to leave , but he was stopped by Alpha Levi .
Ethan , he called after him , making Ethan freeze at the doorway .
Dont let me down .
You wont like your punishment if you fail .
Ethan released a shaky breath and nodded before he left .noveldrama
It took him a little over an hour to get to the Villa .
Irene called him on his way there and asked if he was coming over today , to which he said that he was .
He hadnt seen her in a few days , despite knowing that she was in the hospital recently .
He felt a bit guilty about not seeing her , but hes been in meetings and dealing with Alpha Levi .
He hadnt had the time for anything else .
When he reached the Villa , Gavin was long gone , which he was relieved for .
He wasnt sure hed be able to keep his secrets if Gavin was around and it was crucial that he didnt give himself away or else Levi would make good on his threat .
He expected Irene to wrap her arms around him and hug him like she always did , but when he saw her , she was keeping her distance .
She had her arms wrapped around her body like she was trying to hold herself together and it looked as if she had been crying , Whats going on ? Gavin asked as he stepped further into the parlor .
I went by your house yesterday , she said , surprising him .
He hadnt seen her at all yesterday and he barely caught her scent when he returned home in the morning .
He wasnt there at all in the afternoon or at night so it must have been around that time she stopped by his house Okay ? He asked , narrowing his eyes at her .
There was a woman there , she said , her eyes finding his She was standing at your door .
And do you know who it was ? His chest tightened .
He had been careless with this affairs lately .
These last few weeks he had been behaving himself , but he never officially ended things with any of his flings .
Some of them knew that it was only a fling .
most of them were prostitutes .
But there was one girl that wasnt a prostitute .
One girl was clearly catching feelings for him after one night of fun .
Ethans biggest mistake was hooking up with her more than once ; after he realized she was catching feelings , he should have stopped the affair , but he didnt .
Scarlett looked the most like Judy and she was incredibly in bed .
He found himself wanting more of her , so he continued the affair .
The second biggest mistake he made was inviting her over to his house once .
They had sex until the sun came up the next morning .
But he hadnt spoken to her in the last couple of weeks .
He didnt quite end things , but he hadnt called her back either .
He was hoping she would get the hint and stop pestering him .
He figured keeping up the affair was too risky .
He didnt want rene to find out about this girl .
Chapter 0265 He had been faithful to Irene for weeks , but from the look on her face , he knew that she was suspecting something .
It had to have been Scarlett who showed up at his house unannounced .
No others would have done that ; no others knew where he lived .
It was only her .
Did she say something to you ? Ethan asked , his voice feeling heavy as he spoke .
She shook her head and tucked a long strand of blonde hair behind her ear .
No , but she looked upset .
Like shes been crying , she replied .
Ethan let out a breath , hoping that Irene didnt see the relief in his eyes .
As long as Scarlett hadnt said anything to her , then he could fix this .
Maybe it was the wrong house , I wasnt expecting anyone yesterday , he told her , his confidence coming back .
She stared at him for a moment , her eyes narrowed , and he lips pressed in a thin line .
Are you sure about that ? She asked .
Because she had a striking resemblance to Judy .
Ethan froze as he looked at Irene ; what had she figured out ? What are you saying ? Ethan asked defensively .
Im saying its not a coincidence … Judy has a very basic look , he murmured , shaking his head .
I can pick out about 5 girls that look just like her .
Shes not that special .
Why was she at your house , Ethan ? Please , tell me the truth , Irene said , stepping closer to him .
He saw tears filling her eyes and for a moment , he actually felt bad .
Maybe he would have told her the truth under different circumstances , but now he knew that he couldnt .
He had too much on the line and he needed to play his part a good little spy that he was .
like I dont know , he said , putting his hands on her shoulders , hoping to be soothing .
Im sorry I havent been around lately .
Ive been so busy with pack business .
I have barely been home these last few weeks .
If anyone were to stop by my house , then I wouldnt have known .
You know my family is pretty much running the pack until a new Alpha is appointed .
We are the Beta family .
She could have been trying to ask for a favor .
Other than that , I dont know why she would come over .
I didnt ask anyone to stop by .noveldrama
Irene stared at him for a long while like she was trying to figure out if he was telling the truth or not .
She nibbled on her lower lip .
I just have this nasty feeling … shou Ethan pressed his lips to her forehead .
tears dripping down her flushed cheeks .
I promise , Irene .
Im not cheating on you .
Nothing is going on .
You know I love you .
I wouldnt have proposed to you if I didnt , he assured her .
After a moment , she nodded .
Okay , she whispered .
He smiled and kissed her , and she let him kiss her .
Should we go to your room ? I hear your father isnt home he asked , winking .
She nodded .
1/2 Chapter 0265 Yes , Ill meet you up there in a moment .
I just have a phone call to make , she said .
He nodded and headed straight to her bedroom ; she watched after him and let out a sigh after he was out of sight .
She wanted to believe Ethan and she wanted to trust him ….
but she knew now that she couldnt .
Over the last few months , she discovered Ethans tell .
She now understood his tells when he lied ; his nostrils flared ever so slightly , and he always raised his eyebrows in a condescending way .
That was exactly what he did when he was talking about not knowing that woman .
She had no doubt in her mind now that Ethan was in fact lying to her .
She walked out of the parlor and into the main foyer where Adam sat in his usual seat , reading a book .
He paused when he saw her and he corked an eyebrow .
I need you to do me a favor and tell nobody about it , Irene said without missing a beat .
She grabbed her phone and brought up a picture of the womans license plate .
She managed to snap it before she drove away from Ethans house .
She didnt do anything with it yet , hoping that Ethan would come clean and tell her the truth .
But clearly , that wasnt going to happen .
She sent the image to Adams cell phone , and she heard his phone chiming almost immiedalty after .
He grabbed his phone and glanced at the image with a frown .
Who does this belong to ? He asked , looking back up at her .
Im hoping youll be able to find out for me , she said .
Youve always been good with computers and techy stuff , Adam .
Do you think you can find out who this plate belongs to ? He thought about it for a moment , and then he nodded .
Of course , he replied .
She nodded Find out what you can and report to me as soon as you can she ordered , and with that , she turned and went upstairs .
Chapter 0266 Judys POV Ow , Judy ! Nan cried .
Youre hurting me ! I dug my nails so deep into her flesh that she started to bleed .
My heart was racing , and I thought my ears were going to explode .
I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to remain as still as possible as Nan attempted to unwrap my fingers from around her arm .
Seriously , girl .
Let me go , she demanded through her teeth .
I finally untangled my fingers from her and gripped the armrests instead .
As Nan rubbed her aching arm , I could hear her muttering , Training to be a gamma yet terrified of planes .
She was right ; I was terrified of flying .
Wolves didnt belong in the air ; we were land animals .
This thing could break down and wed crash , exploding into a million pieces .
This was a chance I truly did not want to take , but here I was , in the air , flying for the next several hours to a tropical location .
Nan wasnt as scared as I was , she was gazing out the window , pointing at all the pretty clouds that we were flying through .
She kept saying something about our packs looking like a giant map the higher we got You are missing out on the beauty of it all , Nan breathed as she pressed her face against the window .
I finally managed to pry my eyes open and look around ; the plane had finally leveled off , and my ears no longer felt as if they were about to explode .
1 saw the big smile on Nans face as she stared out the window , awe clear in her eyes .
It was nice seeing her smiling again .
After these last few days , I never thought I would see that smile on her face again .
It was almost worth it .
How much longer until we are there , 1 asked , not wanting to stare out the window , afraid of what Id see .
We just took off , she laughed .
Calm yourself and relax .
How can I relax when we are so high up in the sky ? I asked .
I dont like this .
Well , theres no other way to get to this place .
We have to cross several oceans , she told me .
You were the one who wanted to do the competition , she added with a shrug Do you ladies want anything to drink or a snack ? The stewardess , who startled me , asked .
Water please I asked .
She nodded and handed me a small water bottle before glancing at Nan .
Coffee would be great , she said .
We just drank coffee , I reminded her .
She shrugged .
Its going to be a long flight , and I dont want to fall asleep , she explained .
The stewardess poured a cup of coffee and then handed Nan some sweeteners and powdered creamers .
She went off to serve others .
I took a sip of the water , trying to calm my nerves and racing heart .
Its going to be okay , Judy , Nan assured me .
Just chill .
I nodded , trying to relax .
Chapter 0066 Have you spoken to Chester ? I asked , trying to keep my mind off being thousands of miles in the air .
Nan blanched at my question .
No , she murmured .
Ive been with you since yesterday .
When would I have spoken to him ? I shrugged .
He has your number .
1 didnt know if he called you , I told her , taking another sip of the water .
Wait , what ?? She gasped , glaring at me .
Why exactly does he have my number ?? I 1 shrugged , trying not to look her in the eyes but I felt like was on fire from her stares .
I gave it to him … Judy ! She nearly screeched .noveldrama
Why would you do that ?? Because he was worried, I told her .
When I told him you were coming with me and- You told him where I was going ?? She asked , her eyes wide .
How could you do that ?! Hes my friend , Nan … Im your friend .
Im supposed to be your best friend .
I thought you were in my corner , she cried .
I am in your corner , I assured her .
Im always in your corner .
Which is exactly why I gave your mate your phone number .
You can thank me when youre married and Im your maid of honor .
And what makes you so sure we are going to get married ? She asked , folding her arms across her chest .
Hes a playboy .
He hasnt touched a woman in days .
Not even Harper and I thought for a while that they were going to be end game , I told her , but immediately regretting my choice of words because Nans face went completely white .
I sighed and touched her arm gently .
Im sorry , I shouldnt have said that .
I know how it is to have a mate … but Nan , Chester isnt a bad guy .
If you give him a chance … Ill end up like you .
I was stunned speechless by her words .
They hurt me more than I could ever let her know .
What ? I asked , my voice coming out heavy .
Ethan cheated and left you for someone else .
He broke a part of you that youll never get back .
You can feel it every time hes intimate with her , and it kills both you and your wolf , Nan said , tears filling her eyes .
I hate seeing it happen to you … why would you want it happen to me ?
Chapter 0267 I wanted to say something to reassure her that it wasnt going to happen to her , but at the same time , I couldnt guarantee that .
She was right ; she could end up like me and I was selfish for putting her in that position .
I was also hurt that she said such a terrible thing to me .
I clamped my mouth shut and faced forward , staring at my water bottle as if it held the answers to everything She sighed and turned bac towards the window .noveldrama
I didnt want to spend this flight fighting with my best friend , but I felt tears burning in my eyes and I couldnt quite face her right now without breaking apart .
At some point , I thankfully fell asleep .
I was only woken when my ears once again felt as if they were going to explode , and the plane began to dip low .
I opened my eyes , gripping the arm rest tightly as the plane began to land .
Once we officially touched the ground , I let out a breath of relief .
The seatbelt light turned off and they allowed us to leave the plane by section .
Once we were safely off the plane , I felt like I could kiss the ground .
Nan and I had barely spoken since our argument earlier and even as we walked over to baggage claim , I could still f * e the strain on our relationship .
She was quiet and I knew she was lost in thought , just as I was .
We got our luggage and started towards the exit .
I was bracing myself for the hot air , but nothing could of prepared me for it .
I could hardly breathe when we went from the AC and into a heatwave .
What now ? Nan asked as she looked around , seemingly comfortable in her element .
She always liked the heat ; summer was her favorite season .
I guess we get a cab to the hotel , I said , pulling out my phone and bringing up the email that Levi Churchill sent me a few days ago .
It had the hotel information ; it was only a few miles away from the airport and near the beach , so it shouldnt take us long to get there .
Heres the address for the resort , I said , pointing at it .
Nan nodded and turned towards the busy streets .
Leave it to me , she said confidently .
She walked towards the curb and whispered , holding up her hand .
In seconds , a cab was stopping in front of her .
She grinned and glanced over her shoulder at me .
I was always good at getting a cab back in the city , she explained .
Before I got my car that is .
I chuckled and grabbed my things off the ground , rushing towards the cab .
The Cab driver was kind enough to pop his back trunk and get out of the car to help with our luggage .
Just as we were about to get into the cab , I caught a glimpse of Sammy sitting on one of her suitcases looking exhausted and defeated .
She was staring at her phone with a deep frown and tears clear in her eyes .
Sammy ? I called after her .
She lifted her gaze to meet mine and forced a small smile .
Oh , hi , she said softly .
Is everything okay ? I asked as I walked over to her , motioning for the cab driver to hold on a second .
Nan stayed by our things and the cab to make sure no one else took it .
Not really , Sammy sighed .
My boyfriend was supposed to come and pick me up , but something came up and hes unable to get here .
Do you need a ride ? I asked her .
She raised her brows .
Really ? She asked .
Chapter 0267 I nodded .
Im assuming hes at the resort , right ? I asked .
You can ride with us .
We are heading there now .
She nodded quickly .
Yes , that would be great .
Thank you ! She breathed .
I helped her with her things and once the cab was filled with our belongings , we all got in .
Sammy of us three , so she sat in the middle .
y was t the smaller I told the cab driver the address and he plugged it into the GPS .
Just as we were driving off , something caught my eye .
There were a ton of paparazzi surrounding someone that I couldnt quite see .
They were flashing their cameras and asking them questions .
I strained my neck to get a glimpse of what was going on , but I could hardly see around the large crowd , and we were too far away .
I wonder whats going on over there , Nan said , following my gaze .
I shrugged .
Who knows , I muttered .
Probably some rich jerk .
She nodded in agreement , and we rested for the next 20 minutes until we reached the biggest and prettiest resort I had ever seen .
Chapter 0268 Gavins POV Alpha Gavin , what do you think about this years Gamma competitors ? Do you have a favorite ? Has anyone from your pack been chosen ? Are you sponsoring any portion of this competition this year ? Alpha Gavin , over here ! The flashes of lights from the paparazzi cameras nearly blinded me , but I kept a stoic face as I stared at each and every one of them .
I wasnt going to answer any of their questions right now , I didnt really have answers for them .
I just landed and I was exhausted , I wanted to get to my suite and relax for the night .
I hadnt even looked over the list of Gamma Competitors that had been sent to me .
Give the Lycan Chairmen some space , my head Gamma , Derek , who happened to be a champion of the competition 5 years ago , said as he pushed the paparazzi away from me , providing me room to get by .
There was already a car waiting outside and I was just about ready to get out of this airport .
My wolf was anxious ** and eager to get to the resort .
I classified it as him just being tired and not wanting to deal with Levi Churchill .
It wouldnt be long before he arrived as well .
Once we were in the car , we were driving away from the airport and away from the paparazzi .
I let myself sigh and lean back against my seat , loosening my tie .
It was practically strangling me at this point .
The competitors are having a dinner tonight to meet one another.
Levi Churchill will be attending as well .
Should I give them our RSVP ? Derke asked , glancing at me through the rearview mirror .
I glared at him as if the answer was obvious .
He nearly folds in on himself .
No , I muttered .
The last thing I want is to deal with Levi tonight .
Ill meet the competitors tomorrow .
Have you read the competitor list yet ? Derek asked .
Nope .
Derek sighed , but he said nothing more .
Judys POV Holy crap ! Nan breathed as we were nearing the resort .
Its bigger than Carters Resort .
I had never actually seen palm trees before but here they were everywhere .
They were so tall and draped around the resort like umbrellas , shielding us from the sun .
There wasnt much dirt on the ground , instead , it was mainly sand .
The walkways were made of cobblestones and gave the entire area a brighter feeling .
There were so many people leaving their cabs and buses , lugging their belongings through the giant glass doors that led into the main lobby .
I had to crane my neck to stare up at the large building ; not only was it incredibly tall in the back , but it was also wide , and it seemed as if it could go on for miles .
Most of the windows were large floor to ceiling , some had curtains closed , others did not I knew , from looking at the map on our way here , that on the other side of the resort , which we couldnt see from where we stood , was the ocean .
12 Chanter 0768 : This place is incredible , Nan breathed , unable to stop looking at everything around her .
Im going to go find my boyfriend , Sammy said with a small smile .
Thanks for letting me ride with you .
Of course , I replied , returning her smile .
I hope to see you again soon .
She nodded and waved before she took off .
I looked at Nan and motioned for her to follow me with her head .
We grabbed our suitcases , thanked the cab driver , gave him an extra tip , and then we headed inside .
It was bigger on the inside than it was on the outside .
My mouth nearly fell to the ground .
The ground was a rose gold marble that matched the floor to ceiling pillars .
There was a giant water fountain in the center of the lobby and a ton of people .
It was overwhelming , to say the least .
could see gift shops and other small shops along the far side of the lobby and hallways that led to places I was eager to explore .
There were giant spiral staircases on both sides of the lobby and a couple of giant glass elevators that went up to each floor .noveldrama
Each level had balconies that overlooked the inside of the resort and there were balconies on the outside as well .
We are going to be here forever , Nan complained .
I glanced at the time .
It was only 1 pm .
We have plenty of time , 1 told her .
The dinner doesnt start until 6.
In the itinerary that Alpha Levi sent me , it mentioned a competitors dinner at 6 tonight so we can get to know the other competitors and the judges .
I had to admit , I was a bit nervous to see who I was up against .
Surprisingly , the line didnt last forever .
We only had to wait about 20 minutes before we were at the front of the line .
One of the workers waved me over and I quickly hurried towards her with Nan in tow .
Hello , are you checking in ? The woman , according to her nametag , Stacy , said .
Yes .
It should be under Judy Montague .
She nodded and typed something into the computer .
Oh , youre here for the Gamma competition ? She asked .
Yes , I replied .
I shouldnt have been surprised that this resort was a shifter owned resort .
I didnt smell any humans and there were a lot of people with Gamma sweatshirts and other gear .
Very intimidating looking people .
She typed something else into the computer .
Lycan Chairmen has everything set up , she explained as she continued to type stuff into her computer .
But then she froze and glanced up at me , and then at Nan .
Except the room was for one .
Is she staying with you as well ? I flushed ; I hadnt thought about telling the hotel , or Alpha Levi , that Nan was coming with me .
I felt stupid for not clearing it with them first .
Uh , yes .
But she can just share my bed , I said quickly , hoping that was enough to clear things up .
She looked between the two of us questionably , as if she was trying to gure out if she should allow it or not .
But then a presence appeared beside me and my entire body froze as I looked up at the powerful looking man that I had only seen briefly in the past .
How about we upgrade her room then ? Beta Ron , Levis Beta , said , his eyes narrowed .
Stacys eyes widened at his request .
Im afraid we are all booked up … she told him , her voice nervous .
Its okay ; really , I said , trying to resolve the situation .
Then , I guess Ill have to call Alpha Levi and tell him that the resort staff are incompetent , he murmured as he made a show out of taking his phone out of his pocket .
Before I could protest Stacy quickly intervened .
Thats not necessary , she said quickly .
We do have one room left .
Its a queens suite on the top floor .
It has 2 beds and a half kitchen .
Excellent , Beta Ron said , nodding at her as he shoved his phone back into his pocket .
You dont have to go through that much trouble , I told them both .
Its honestly okay .
Nonsense ; you are a guest and will be treated as such , Ron said , narrowing his eyes at me .
Enjoy your stay , Judy Montague .
Chapter 0269 With that , he turned and walked away .
Stacy nervously typed on her computer without meeting my gaze .
After a few minutes , she clicked the final button and grabbed a couple of keycards , a map of the resort , and a printed version of the itinerary .
You will be in room 606 , she told me .
Enjoy your stay .
I nodded and thanked her .
I went to grab my bags , but she stopped me .
We have people who can take your bags to your room .noveldrama
You dont need to lift a finger at our resort , she assured me .
Are you sure ? I asked her .
I dont want to be too much trouble .
Its no trouble at all , she assured me .
I nodded and together , Nan and I made our way through the crowd and towards the glass Elevator .
We were both in awe as the elevator went up and we were able to see the resort from a different view .
Chapter 0270 This is going to be so much fun , Nan breathed with wide eyes .
I nodded in agreement .
We walked down the wide hallway , looking up at the crystal chandeliers that lit the entire place up .
We finally made it to our suite and used the keycard to get into the room .
The room was huge , and the beds were on a large pedestal with stairs .
There was a half kitchen , which had pretty much everything except a stove .
There was a living room area and a door that I assumed led to the bathroom .
Some dressers and wardrobes looked like they were picked right out of a storybook .
The windows were huge which provided a ton of natural light , and they were facing the ocean .
If we looked down the window , we could see one of the many swimming pools this resort had .
I heard they even had a swimming pool on the roof .
Oh , Im definitely going to like it here , Nan said with a wide grin .
I nodded in agreement .
Yeah , me too , I agreed .
A few minutes later , a man arrived with our luggage .
I thanked him and we spent the afternoon unpacking .noveldrama
If were going to be here for a few weeks , we might as well get comfortable .
Want to go exploring with me ? Nan asked as she came out of the bathroom a little later .
I shook my head .
Im going to rest up for tonight , I told her .
But you go and have fun .
Okay , Ill see you later .
I was able to get a couple of hours of sleep and woke up about 30 minutes before I had to leave for the dinner .
Nan wasnt back yet , but I knew she would be before we had to leave .
I grabbed a change of clothes and went into the bathroom to take a hot shower .
It The shower was bigger than any shower I had ever seen before , and water squirted out from every which way .
was incredible and I felt calmer than ever as I stepped out of the shower .
I quickly dressed and by the time I left the bathroom , Nan was back .
Ready to go ? I asked her .
Actually , I was hoping maybe you could go by yourself .
I met some people earlier and they wanted to go out to dinner and hang out while the Gamma competitors did their thing .
They are all here out of support like me .
I frowned .
You dont want to come with me ? I asked , sounding and feeling disappointed .
I wasnt sure I could do this without her .
Im sorry .
Dont hate me .
Well do other stuff together and Ill be there during the competition to support you .
But I could really use a drink , and I doubt anyone will be getting drunk at this dinner tonight .
Please dont be mad .
I sighed .
Im not mad , I assured her .
Go have fun .
Ill be fine .
She shrieked and hugged me .
After we said goodbye , I gave myself one long look in the standing mirror and then I 1/2 sighed .
It was now or never .
Chapter 0271 Judys POV 1 probably shouldnt have been drinking as much as I have been .
But I couldnt help myself .
I was so nervous and everybody at this dinner looked intimidating .
They were all mostly men who were competing , along with only a few women .
They were all huge and strong and I was thin and short … though I knew I was strong too ; I wondered if I was strong enough to win this competition .
The dinner was delicious and set up like a buffet .
They had every food imaginable and my mouth was watering as I grabbed a few different food items and placed them on my plate .
I saw one giant guy in particular and he was pretty much showing off his muscles and talking proudly about himself .
Sammy stood beside him with a small blush on her cheeks and when she saw me , her face lit up .
That must have bene her boyfriend , I thought to myself .
I waved at her , and she gave me a short wave back , hiding it from her boyfriend .
She probably didnt want him to know that she was friendly with the competition .
At the long table in the front of the event hall was a table with 4 seats .
2 of them were empty ; the other 2 occupied to Lycan Chainmen .
My eyes grew wide as I took in their strong exterior , stoic faces , and glowing aura .
They radiated with power , and it was hard to look directly at them.
I heard through the grapevine that Alpha Levi wasnt going to show up until tomorrow , so that explained one of the empty seats , but the other one confused me .
I didnt know that all the Lycan Chairmen attended this event ; Gavin hadnt mentioned anything to me about coming to this country for the competition Was he going to be here ? I looked around but I didnt see him anywhere .
I couldnt help the knot that formed in my belly at the very thought of it thought .
There were a few toasts and speeches from some of the Alphas and one of the chairmen .
Everybody was excited and eager to get this competition started .
It wasnt going to start for another couple of days though , once everybody was here and ready .
I heard some planning on training together in the courtyard tomorrow morning and I wondered if I should attend as well .
For the most part , I kept to myself and sat at the bar .
I continued to drink until I could hardly feel my cheeks .
I knew I had drunk too much when the entire room started to spin .
I couldnt stay here any longer .
I attempted to escape the room smoothly , but I knew I stumbled a few times before I reached the door .
I dont think anyone noticed though , at least I hoped they didnt as I walked down the hallway and stepped into the elevator , I went to grab my room key to swipe on the elevator to make it move , but then I realized I left it in the room .
I sighed .
Nan was most likely still out with her new friends .
wasnt going to call her and bother her .
Instead , I went towards the front desk , hating that I drank so much that I was stumbling through the lobby .
There wasnt a line at this time of night , thankfully .
I also didnt recognize any of the workers there ; they must have been the night crew .
I wondered what time it was I need a new room key .
I locked mine in the room , I told one of the was workers .
He went to type something on the computer .
Whats your room number ? He asked .
I furrowed my brows , trying to remember the number in my drunken stooper .
Uh … 909 I think ? He nodded and typed something else on his computer .
He grabbed a new key card and swiped the card to activate 1/2 Chapter 0271 it .
There you go , you go , he said .
I thanked him and went back to the elevator .
The second I was in the room ; all I wanted to do was crash .
I was way too lazy to change into my pajamas , so I decided to just strip naked and get into bed .
Nan still wasnt back , which was kind of a relief .
I didnt want her to see me like this .
The room smelled different ; it smelled nice .
Not that it didnt smell nice earlier , but it seemed even better this time .
I wondered if Nan had sprayed something before she left .
Or maybe one of the workers came and tidied up a bit .
I stripped off my clothes , leaving them on the ground in a path as I made my way toward my bed .
It felt like a further walk than it had earlier , but I classified it as me being too drunk to really classify anything .
I crawled into bed , through the covers over my naked body and allowed myself to drift off to sleep .
Gavins POV I hoped a shower would help sober me up a little bit .
But it really didnt .
It wasnt often that a Lycan could get drunk like this , but I spiked my drink with something so strong that it could take down all 4 of us Lycans .
I just needed to shut my mind off for a little while.
The dinner for the competitors was being held now , and I knew I should have probably been there .
All of us Lycans were expected to be there , but I couldnt bring myself to go .
At least not tonight , Ill go to the dinner they are going to hold tomorrow .
But for tonight , I just needed to be alone and shut off my brain .noveldrama
Todays Bonus Offer
pter 0272 I didnt bother getting dressed after my shower .
I stayed in my boxers and then left my bathroom .
As I walked drunkenly and sleepily towards my bed , I froze when I saw lump under the covers .
My wolf stirred within me as he caught a whiff of something familiar .
I furrowed my brows and walked closer towards the bed .
I grabbed the edge of the blanket and slowly pulled it back , nearly jumping back in surprise when I saw there was a woman there .
The familiar scent wafted around me , making me more intoxicated .
I touched her arm , ignoring the electricity sparking from my fingertips as I turned her over .
She was naked and her breasts were on full display .
It took everything I had not to touch her right then and there .
Her eyes slowly opened , and a small smile tipped the corner of her lips .
Gavin ….
she whispered .
Had Judy followed me here ? Did she come here for me ? Something swelled in my chest at the thought .
She must have missed me so much and figured out that I was going to be here .
I ran my fingers down the side of her face , and she closed her eyes , leaning into my touch .
I traced my finger across her bottom lip , and she parted them slightly .
Without much more though , I wrapped my arms around her and lifted her naked body off the bed as I sat down .
She wrapped her legs around my waist and her arms around my neck , straddling me and pressing into me .
The way her body felt against mine was something I couldnt even explain .
She wiggled against me , her dilated eyes filled with lust and desires .
Her excitement could be smelled from a mile away and it made a growl escape my throat before I could stop myself .
She pressed her lips to mine , kissing me like her life depended on it .
She rubbed her soaked core against my boxers as she nibbled on my bottom lips , taking her fill of me .
I allowed her time to explore me as her hands roamed across my chest and down my abs .
A breathy moan escaped her lips as she continued to grind herself against me .
I stopped questioning the real reason she was in my bed and figured she was there for me .
I wasnt going to complain ; truth be told , I was worried when she stopped taking my calls .
I worried that I would never get the chance to have her like this .noveldrama
I ran my fingers through her hair and held her head in place as I shoved my tongue deep into her throat , tasting everything she had to offer .
She opened her mouth even more , allowing my tongue deeper inside of her .
She moaned in pleasure and my cock twitched within my boxers .
I needed to be inside of her .
I couldnt wait any longer .
I knew she wanted it just as badly as I did .
I reached between us and slid my boxers down my legs , allowing my erection to fling freely .
It rested on her belly and her eyes widened as she stared down at me .
Her tongue jetted out and she licked her lips as if it was the tastiest thing she had ever seen .
She wrapped her small fingers around my large shaft and began to stroke gently at first , and then quickened the pace , making sure to rub the juice beading at the tip all around , making it easier to move .
I closed my eyes , loving the feeling of her hands on me .
She lowered herself and wrapped her perfect lips around my shaft , taking me in her mouth and tasting me .
If I didnt get inside of her right now , I was going to explode in her mouth hand that wasnt something I wanted to do right now .
I grabbed her by the waist and pulled her back on top of me , shoving myself deep into her wet core .
She gasped at the invasion but once she adjusted , she started to move .
I dug my fingers into her hips , making her move even faster .
I knew she had reached her climax when her legs trembled , and she screamed out my name .
I thrust into her even harder and deeper , hitting that perfect spot that made her gasp and pant even more .
It didnt take long for me to explode inside of her , coating her insides with my seed , I kissed her soft lips , sucking her bottom lip into my mouth and making it nice and swollen .
We continued our night in passion all around my suite , marking every corner of this place .
We ended the night sweaty , exhausted , and satisfied .
She fell asleep before I did I woke up to the sounds of something falling .
I quickly sat up , my wolf on edge as he searched the perimeter for danger .
I glanced over at the spot on the bed that Judy was sleeping on , but she was no longer there .
I furrowed my brows as I continued to search with my eyes around the room .
I could smell fear …..
Then I heard a small whimper coming from the ground .
I slowly peeked over the edge of the end to see Judy lying on the ground with her hands covering her mouth .
When her eyes found mine , they widened in shock .
Gavin ? She gasped W … what are you doing in my room
Judys POV What was going on ? Why was Gavin in my hotel room ? With a pounding heart , I managed to grab what was left of my clothes , my fingers trembling as I struggled to put them on .
I was naked , which meant something definitely happened last night .
How could this night have gone so wrong ? The last thing I remember was drinking a little too much at the banquet .
I felt awkward being alone and the only thing I could think of doing was drink .
Plus , it helped with my nerves and kept my mind off Gavin .
At least I thought so until I woke up with him beside me in bed .
We were both naked , but he had pulled on his clothes pretty quickly upon getting out of bed .
He was staring down at me with a frown on his lips as he came around the bed ; it took him a moment to notice me on the ground , but once he did , his frown only deepened .
what are you doing o the ground ? He asked , his tone sanding tired .
Answer my question first , I said , getting dressed and untangling myself from the blankets after falling out of bed And what question was that ? He asked the corner of his lips twitched slightly , and I knew he was stifling a laugh .
It only made me angrier though as I glared up at him in return .
Why are you in my room ? I asked him through my teeth .
grabbed the bedpost and pulled myself to my feet , turning to face him .
His brows rose slightly as his eyes darted around the room before landing on my face .
Last I checked this was my room , he said , his tone filled with humor , but I didnt hear anything funny about what he was saying .
When I came to this country to participate in this competition , the last person I expected to see here was Gavin .
Sure , it was custom for the Lycan wolves to attend this competition , but because Gavin hadnt said anything about it and because his rival is the one hosting this years competition , I didnt think he would actually be here .
N … no , I stammered .
Its my room .noveldrama
I was so sure that this was my hotel room ; the one I shared with Nan .
I assumed she never came home last night , which made me worry about her whereabouts .
She met some others at the hotel last night and decided to hang out with them instead of going to the banquet with me .
I couldnt blame her for that ; banquets werent really her thing .
She was used to serving at dinner parties , not attending them .
I I tried to think about more of what happened last night .
I knew I had forgotten my room key , so I went to the front desk to ask for another one .
What room did I tell the man at the front desk I was staying at ? I blinked , trying to clear my head but it proved to be difficult with the pounding headache at my temple .
Hangovers sucked and I was in for a rude awakening today .
Thankfully , today was only training day .
However , this was the day Id be scoping out my competition and I wanted to make a good impression on them as well .
I wanted them to know that I wasnt one to mess with ; I wanted to be taken seriously and doing that with a hangover seemed impossible .
Chapter 0273 I looked up at Gavin who was pulling a card out of his walled and turning it to face me .
On the card , it read : Room 909 .
Ive had this key since I checked in yesterday , he explained .
I frowned and felt around the dress until I found my pocket .
1 reached in and felt my room key .
Pulling it out I glanced at the front of it ; it read : Room 909 .
I turned it around to show it to him .
And thats the card youve had since checking in ? He asked , raising his brows .
Did you even check in ? Or did you ask the front desk clerk for my room number ? My mouth dropped at his accusation .
How dare he ask such a question ? I wasnt going to give him the satisfaction of an answer .
I glanced at the ground and saw that my purse was there .
I quickly swiped it off the ground , hating how pathetic I looked right now .
But I was determined to prove him wrong with more than just a few numbers on a key card .
I grabbed my phone out of my purse and swiped my finger around the screen .
I went into my emails and found the one that said , Hotel Room Verification .
I clicked on the email and brought up all the details of the suite .
After they updated my room and put me in this suite , they sent me an email verification of the room change , attaching Alpha Levi to the email considering he was the one paying for our stay here in this country .
Chapter 0274 My eyes scanned the email briefly until I found the room number .
My heart was still .
Room 906 .
I was in the wrong room .
What terrible luck 1 had ! My face burned with embarrassment as my eyes narrowed at the room number .
I was in Gavin Landrys hotel suite .
Suddenly , it felt as if I was going to pass out from this extreme humiliation .
I could barely even look at him despite knowing he was staring down at me with a deep frown on his lips .
He thought I was here to stalk him … he had no idea that I was in the competition , and I wasnt sure if I should even bother telling him .
These last few weeks he couldnt care less about me or what I did … so why would that change now ? Well ? He asked .
Are you going to reply , or are you just going to stand there ? I was at a loss for words .
I spent the entire night in Gavins room , that meant Nan had been in our room all alone … all night .
Oh Goddess , she must have been so worried about me .
Here I was thinking she was out all night , but in reality , it was me who was out all night .
I … I started to say , my voice trailing off as thoughts continued to consume me .
L ..
I have to go , I rushed out as I turned and hurried out of the room .
I was only a few rooms down , but I didnt want him following me or finding me later .
So , I headed for the elevator instead .
I wasnt sure where I was going , but I knew I couldnt stay there .
Gavins POV I couldnt say I had no memory of last night ; I got way too drunk and made some choices that I probably shouldnt have been making while screwed up .
Waking up this morning , it was still a shock to see Judy on the floor of my hotel suite .
She was the last person I thought I would see here .
Thated how my body reacted to the sight of her .
Even as a disheveled and naked mess , she was still beautiful .
It wasnt good that she was here ; if Alpha Levi caught wind of my relationship with her , he would use her against me no doubt .
I needed to make sure that he knew nothing about Judy and me .
I searched for her in the halls , but she was long gone .
There was no trace of her ever being here besides her lingering scent .
I could find her easily if I wanted to , but I decided not to bother .
I was bound to run into Levi or the paparazzi if I left right now .
I needed to keep a low profile until the competition started Chapter 0274 1 grabbed my phone and brought up Taylors contact .
Yes , Alpha ? Taylor asked as soon as he answered the phone .
Based on his tone , he knew this was a business call and nota personal one .
Did you know that Judy Montague was going to be here ? asked , my tone hard and filled with an underlying hint of betrayal .
Had my own Beta known this fact and kept it from me ? For a second , he hesitated .
No , he finally replied .
I didnt know she would be there .
But Adam told me she wouldnt be around for a bit .
Adam ? I asked , the image of my butler coming into mind How the hell does Adam know anything ? He must have forgotten to mention it to you .
Judy requested the next few weeks off .
I felt a headache brewing in my temple from this talk .
I needed him to get to the point and tell me something useful before I lost control of myself .
Did she come here because she knew I was going to be here ? I asked through my teeth .
Adam didnt give me a reason for her absence .
I mean , its school break so I assumed she was just taking some time off for that .
Its not like Mathew needs a tutor during the break .
Its not like shes needed right now , right ? I clenched my fists.
He was missing the point as usual .
Judy must have figured Id be here , so she came to see me .
Shes playing it off like that wasnt the case but thats the only explanation I have .noveldrama
She was playing a dangerous game .
Chapter 0275 Judys POV Enough time had passed , and I finally decided to go back to my hotel suite .
I needed to change clothes before 1 went to the resort workout room and started my day .
I needed to spend the rest of my day training with some others .
But first , I needed to get this massive hangover under control .
I was relieved when I didnt see Gavin in the halls when I returned to the floor .
I had to pass by his room to get to mine , I made sure to tiptoe , not wanting him to know that was walking by .
Then again , he was a Lycan … he probably knew I was in the elevator .
Once I got to the door , I realized I didnt have my actual room key .
I just had to hope and pray that Nan was there .
I knocked on the door , trying to be loud enough for Nan to hear me , but quiet enough that Gavin doesnt .
Not that it mattered , he knew I was there .
I know he did … but the question was , would he open his door and confront me ? I probably shouldnt have run away like that ; probably should have stayed and explained the situation to him .
But I was so embarrassed that I ended up in his bed last night that the only thing I could think of was to run away .
Not before long , the door swung open , and I spun around , not realizing I was facing Gavins room .
Nan stood on the other side of the door , her arms folded across her chest and a smirk on her lips .
Well , look who decided to return to our room , she said , her brows raised as she took in my clothes , realizing ! was still in the same dress I wore to the banquet last night I didnt get a chance to look at myself in the mirror this morning , but I could only imagine how I must have looked .
My hair was probably all over the place and I most likely had makeup smudges all over my pale face .
I stepped into the room and Nan shut the door behind me .
I could feel her eyes burning a hole in the back of my head .
Did you have a good night with Gavin ? Nan shocked me by asking .
I gasped and spun around to face her , my eyes wide .
H … how did you know ? I asked , my voice barely above a whisper .
She studied me for a moment ; her face remained stoic until I found the crack in her resolve .
The corner of her lip twitched ever so slightly , indicating that she wasnt really , and she found it amusing .
Lets just say … I have a good eye for detail , she said , her eyes scanning my dress .
I felt self conscious under her scrutiny and my cheeks burned even more with embarrassment .
Before I could say anything , she burst out laughing .
I was startled by the outburst and stared up at her ; I saw that she was holding the bedpost , keeping herself from falling over as she doubled over in a heap of laughter .
Oh , Goddess , she laughed .
You should seriously see the look on your face .
I pressed my lips in a tight line .
All I This isnt funny , Nan , I said , sighinted to do was cry and she was laughing at me .
I was Oh , trust me .
Its hilarious , she laughed .
I saw him walking into the hotel and checking into his room .
distracted when I met some girls and kind of forgot about it when I saw you later that night But then as I was walking back to the suite , I saw you stumbling into the wrong suite .
I recognized the suite number because I heard the front desk clerk giving that room to Gavin .
I tried to stop you from going into the wrong room .
Dont you Chapter 0275 remember ? I tried to remember last night and a slight memory of seeing Nan appeared in my head .
I remembered her looking frantic about something , but I was too far gone at that moment and I just wanted to get into bed .
I assumed Nan was behind me and got into her own bed ; maybe thats why was so adamant about being in the right room even I though I was completely wrong .
You shut the door , and I couldnt get in .
I knocked but it was no use .
I realized what room you were in and I knew youd be fine .
Maybe super embarrassed once you figured it out … but I knew he wouldnt let anything happen to you .
So , I went back to our room , she said that last part while shrugging .
I really wish you tried harder , Nan , I murmured , closing my eyes as the memory of last night replayed in my mind .noveldrama
I had sex with Gavin .
Did you have a bad night ? She asked with a worried frown .
He didnt go too far … did he ? I knew what she was asking , and I couldnt really say anything bad about Gavin besides how he treated me these last couple of weeks .
But as far as last night goes … I knew he was drunk too .
I could smell the boos on his breath , and he was acting out of character just like I was .
We were both in a tough spot and we let our feelings cloud our judgment .
It was a choice between two drunk adults , and there was nobody at fault .
I was just mortified over the fact that I ended up in his room unannounced .
It looked so bad … how was I going to explain myself ? How would I ever face him again ?
Chapter 0276 No … I admitted , hating myself for it .
it was incredible .
But it shouldnt have happened and Im embarrassed .
She pouted .
Im sorry , Judy .
Youre right .
I should have tried harder .
It wasnt cool of me , she said sadly .
I sighed and walked over to her , hugging her .
Im not mad at you , I told her .
Its not your responsibility to take care of me .
Im sorry for putting that on you .
We hugged each other for a moment longer before she released me .
Okay , you should shower .
You stink , she teased .
I grinned and grabbed my workout clothes from one of the drawers .
Im just going to change and wash up in the sink .
I have training today so taking a shower now is pointless , I told her over my shoulder as I headed into the bathroom .
I dressed in a yoga bra and skintight leggings that showed off my curves .
It made for easier movements during training , so it was my prime choice attire .
I pulled my hair into a ponytail , making sure no loose strands fell over my face .noveldrama
I turned on the sink and grabbed a cloth from the nearby shelf .
After applying some cleanser to the cloth , I washed my face neck , and underarms .
Turning off the water after a few minutes , I grabbed a dry towel and dried myself .
Then , I rummaged through one of my bathroom bags until I found my stick of deodorant along with my toothbrush and toothpaste .
I applied the deodorant and then brushed my teeth .
Once I was done , I was ready to hit the gym .
Nan said she was going of breakfast with her new friends and asked if we could meet up for lunch later .
After giving her confirmation of the plans , I left and went to the resort gym I had to follow the large map that they gave me and still ended up turning around .
After a long while of wandering around the many halls and openings of the resort , I finally found the gym .
I wasnt sure how I managed to miss it ; the gym was huge .
I couldnt believe this was inside of another building .
The gym was three stories tall and there was a swimming pool for just exercising .
The walls were glass , overlooking the beachside of the resort and I could see that resort casino attached in the distance of one of the windows .
I was also prepared for the gym to be packed , which it was .
Despite how big it was , there didnt seem to be enough room .
I knew most everyone here was preparing for the upcoming competition .
I could tell from how they worked out and the attire some of the wore .
They werent there for casual workouts .
I glanced around at the place , trying to figure out where to start .
I decided to see if there were any lockers available to put my stuff in .
I had a backpack filled with some gym essentials , along with my phone and wallet .
I didnt want to carry them with me all day .
1 headed towards the locker room , walking past unfamiliar faces and giving polite smiles as I went .
I stepped into the locker room ; there were a few girls in there taking bathroom selfies and I had to stifle the urge to roll my eyes .
they werent there for training or working out … they wanted their social media followers to think they were gym rats .
I glanced around at all the lockers ; there were a ton of them more than I could comprehend .
However , as I looked at all the red lights on each of the lockers , I realized there wasnt one available .
Chapter 0276 Oops , sorry .
I got the last one , one of the girls said ; she dont sound sorry at all .
Maybe you should have gotten here sooner .
I pressed my lips in a thin line ; engaging with her was not something I wanted to do .
I started to walk past with my bag over my shoulder .
Are you here for the Gamma competition too ? She asked , halting my movements .
Too ? I asked , turning around to face her .
Youre competing ? Dont look so surprised .
My daddy is sponsoring the event , she told me , glancing at her nails .
I raised my brows her Youre Alpha Levis daughter ? I asked , dumbfounded .
I guess I really didnt know much about Alpha Levi other than the fact that he was a Lycan and Gavins enemy .
Dont we look alike ? She asked patting her lashes .
Now that she mentioned it, she did have an uncanny resemblance to him .
But dont worry … when I win … itll be fair and square , she said with a plastered smile .
Ive been trained by the best , so Im bound to win after all .
She flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder and gave me a wink which made my blood boil .
I didnt bother saying anything to her , the other girls in the bathroom who were talking to her before I arrived all chuckled amongst themselves , thinking they had bested me .
It only theled my fire though , making me want to take her down first .
I turned and stormed out of the locker room only to run smack into someone .
I dropped my bag on the ground and stumbled backward .
I felt a warm set of hands steadying me and when I looked up my breath hitched .
Gavin …
hapter 0277 Judys POV Gavin was shirtless with only a pair of sweatpants on .
I stared at his incredible body , my mouth nearly watering at the sight of his glistening abs , Glistening because he was coated in sweat , indicating that hed been here for a while working out .
When my eyes gazed up at his form , I say that he had a towel wrapped around his shoulders , collecting the sweat off the back of his neck .
My eyes found his and I saw the confusion and slight glitter of rage in his eyes .
What are you doing in here ? He asked , his tone low and deadly .
I wasnt afraid of him though ; Im not sure if anything he did could make me truly fear him .
But I was conscious that he was angry , and it was my presence that made him this way .
It hurt ; I wasnt going to lie .
I … I was going to work out , I told him , staring at the ground , unable to look him in the eyes .
All the pain and loneliness I faced these last few weeks of this man came rushing through my body and I was suddenly feeling smaller than I had in a long time .
What was wrong with me ? He looked at me as if he didnt believe me ; he looked annoyed .
He stared down at the bag on the ground and pressed his lips in a thin line .
Why isnt that in a locker ? He asked .
It could get stolen Uh … I said , glancing over my shoulder at the locker room .
There are no lockers left .
He scowled as he grabbed my bag off the floor and started towards the mens locker room .
W … what are you doing ? I asked him .
Putting it in my locker , he muttered and then he was gone .
He wasnt gone for long though ; I waited outside the locker room until he returned a few minutes later .
There , now it wont get stolen , he said , narrowing his eyes at me .
You shouldnt have come here .
I just wanted to get some working out in , I told him , gesturing for the workout equipment .
He studied me for a moment longer and then he stepped back , allowing me to walk around him .
I started to weave through the people , keeping my head down as I walked past a few known gammas .
I walked up the stairs and to the second floor where the treadmills and bikes were .
I was glad to see there were quite a few treadmills available .
I chose one that overlooked some of the gym ; I figured if I could see them , they could see me and part of why I wanted to work out in the gym this morning was so I could be seen I wanted the competition to see me and know that I wasnt one to mess with .
I got on the treadmill and started off on a light jog .
I hadnt noticed the person who got on the other treadmill beside me ; at least not until I heard it beeping to life and the person beside me started at a fast sprint .
I looked over , my mouth dropping when I saw Gavin on the treadmill .noveldrama
Had he followed me ? J pressed my lips together , annoyed by the intrusion .
Gavin glanced at me , his eyes dark and narrowed in a silent challenge .
I knew he wanted to compete with me , and I wasnt going down without a fight .
I sped up the treadmill , matching his speed and then I went one speed high so I was sprinting a little faster .
It had gone faster than before , so this was nothing .
He would have to try harder than that if he wanted to sike me out A smirk played on his lips as we ran side by side and then I heard his treadmill beeping again , soon , he was running even faster .
I scowled at him , not wanting him to get the best of me , so I pressed an even higher speed
Chapter 0278 Sweat was beading at the nape of my neck the longer we ran like this .
I wasnt going to give up though ; I had done a lot faster in the past and a lot longer too .
I went jogging almost every morning before school , I was in great shape , and he would soon realize that as well .
I wasnt one to back down , not when it came to training my body .
He stared at me , his eyes never leaving mine as he pressed another button , making himself run even faster .
Soon , we were both running so fast that a normal person wouldnt be able to see our legs .
They were nothing but blurs as the treadmill continued to work overtime .
My lungs felt as if they were going to burst at any second .
Gavin didnt look phased though and 1 shouldnt have been surprised , he had probably done a lot worse than this .
I didnt want to back down though hand show him weakness ; I wanted to prove that I was worthy of this … that I had what it takes .
It was important to me .noveldrama
I didnt have time to comprehend what had happened before I fell off the treadmill and slammed into the ground , nearly flying toward the other side of the room .
Gavin stopped his treadmill and mine at the same time before jumping off and running towards me .
A shooting pain coursed up my leg from my ankle , making tears burn in my eyes .
Are you okay ? Gavin asked as he tried to assess the damage done to my ankle .
1 swatted him away , hating the throbbing pain I felt in my ankle , but I couldnt stop training now .
It was too early , and I had too much to prepare for .
Gavin grabbed my hands with one of his hands , keeping me from swatting him away again , and then he asked my ankle with his other hand .
Its sprained , he told me with a frown .
What were you thinking competing with me ? You should have been more careful .
Tears burned in my eyes as I stared at my swollen red ankle .
I knew that it would be healed before the competition started tomorrow .
I needed to be careful on it for tonight though so it could heal properly .
he I need to get you to a doctor , he told me as he was about to scoop me into his arms .
I was on fight and flight mode though and right now .
I quickly wiggled out of his hold and pulled myself to my feet , biting my tongue through the searing pain in my ankle and trying hard to keep my pressure off it .
Im fine , I told him quickly .
I wanted to work out , so thats what Im going to do .
I started to hobble away , holding onto the wall for support .
It looked like I was going to have to skip leg day and work out my arms instead .
It was a setback , but I should be fine by tomorrow .
As a wolf , I was a fast healer , so I wasnt too worried about it .
I just hoped Id be prepared for the first round of competitions .
I highly suggest you get that checked out .
Youll make it worse if you continue to use your leg , Gavin said from behind me .
You might be the boss of me back home because I tutor your son .
But you arent the boss of me here , I told him , putting my hands on my hips .
I am capable of making my own decisions .
I know my body and what it can handle .
Ill get it looked at later , but for right now , Im able to continue my workout session .
1 started to hobble away again but he grabbed my arm , halting me .
You can barely walk , he said through his teeth , his fury Dashing across his eyes .
I pulled my arm away from him , surprising him with the amount of force I used .
Chapter 0280 Gavins POV She was such an idiot .
I wanted to grab her , throw her over my shoulder , and get her out of there .
But I knew others would see and it would get back to Levi .
I didnt want him to know about her , which meant I needed to keep a low profile .
I couldnt focus on my own workout knowing she was out there hurting her ankle even more .
I went into the locker to room to grab my things along with Judys backpack , which I had put in my locker .
The second she was done with her stubborn fit , Im taking her to the resort urgent care .
Leaving the locker room , I went to find Judy .
I spotted her at the weights ; she seemed to be keeping off her ankle for the most part , which was good .
Maybe she wasnt as stupid as I thought she was .
That is until one of the competitors started talking to her .
With all the noise going on around the gym , it was hard to pick up their voices The second that the dumbbell went crashing down and Judy with her catlike reflexes grabbed it without hesitation before it slammed into the girl , I knew her ankle was done for .
I might not be able to pick out their voices in the crowd , but I could hear the bone cracking .noveldrama
The look on Judys face shined with suppressed pain.
She didnt want this girl to see her pain ; she was trying to play it off like she was fine .
But why ? Who was this girl to Judy ? As Judy hobbled away and the girl going to find a new spotting partner , I rushed to Judy before she could get too far .
Not that she was walking fast with her broken ankle .
She nearly crumbled to the ground before I draped a coat around her shoulders , hoping that it would hide her body as I scooped her into my arms .
At first , she looked like she wanted to protest as she glared up at me with dark eyes .
But then her expression turned to pain ; I knew her resolve was cracking .
She knew what she had to do , the problem was she was too stubborn to admit it .
She sighed and rested her head against my chest ; I saw the crease between her brows as pain consumed her .
I held her close as I rushed her out of the gym .
I was glad I didnt run into many people , but there were a few paparazzi with cameras pointed in our direction .
I did my best to hide Judys face with the coat , barking at onlookers and paparazzi to give us some privacy , I was not in the mood to deal with any of them right now .
I was very familiar with this hotel , seeming it was owned by a long- time friends family .
So , I knew wh everything was without needing a map .
The resort urgent care wasnt too far from the gym .
Alpha Landry ? The receptionist asked as I rushed into the urgent care office .
She quickly stood to her feet when she saw the urgent look on my face and then her eyes fell on Judy .
She needs help .
Its her ankle , I said , rushing to a gurney in the corner of the room and placing Judy on top with the coat draped over her like a blanket .
Her ankle was so swellen , I wouldnt be able to wrap my hands around them .
They were red too and looked painful to touch .
She was sweating and her face had gone pale .
Judy was in a daze ; delirious from the pain and maybe whatever else this type of break did to her .
Maybe something more was damaged Dont worry , Alpha .
We have this handled , Dr.
Kelsey said as he hurried into the waiting room .
The receptionist must have called him when she saw Judy .
Chapter 0080 hands Dr.
Kelsey was a great doctor , and I knew Judy would be in good with him .
She was here , being taken care of by a doctor .
I watched her being rushed into the emergency room with doctors and nurses surrounding her … shell be fine .
I can leave at any minute now …..
I should leave … Judys POV When I woke up , I was in an unfamiliar place .
Telling from the sterile scent and the neatly made beds that were lined up , Id say I was in some kind of infirmary .
I glanced around the room until my eyes landed on a sleeping form in the chair near my bed .
Gavin ? I asked ; my voice came out raspy .
I cleared it and tried again , only louder , startling him awake .
Youre awake , he said , his eyes finding mine .
How are you feeling ? I shrugged I guess better .

I cleared it and tried again , only louder , startling him awake .
Youre awake , he said , his eyes finding mine .
How are you feeling ? I shrugged I guess better .
What happened ? I asked him .
ou to the Well , as I feared , you damaged your ankle even more .
You passed out from the pain when I brought you hospital .
They had to do surgery to reset your bone .
ou to the Well , as I feared , you damaged your ankle even more .

My heart dropped into my stomach as I looked at my leg and saw the bulky cast on it .
This was not good .
I glanced around , frantic for a time .
Maybe there was time for this to heal and Ill be okay before the competition .
Its almost morning .
Weve been here for several hours , he explained , I nearly let out a choked sob from what he had said .
It was almost morning , which meant I had no time for this to heal .
I was doomed .
I was going to get disqualified or male a fool out of myself .
This was my one shot at making an impression and I was about to fail it .
Before he could say anything more , the doctor came into the room Miss Judy , youll have to stay off it for the next 24 to 48 lurs .
Your wolf will start the healing process now that we reset it properly , the doctor said , giving me a fond smile .
I also gave you some medicine to help heal you faster .
Thank you , I said to him , grateful that he was able to help me , but not so grateful that I was not going to be okay by the competition .
He nodded and then bowed at Gavin before , leaving the room Are you going to actually listen to him and stay off it ? Gayin asked , raising his brows at me .
1 pressed my lips together .
Doesnt look like I have a choice , I muttered .
No , you dont , he said , his tone low and hidden with a quiet threat .
I have business I need to get done today .
Im trusting that youll stay here .
He stood and started to walk away .
Did you stay with me all night ? I asked him , stopping him from getting any further .
What ? Did you stay with me all night ? I asked again , more loudly this time .
He was quiet for a moment longer before his eyes found mine from over his shoulder .
Yes , he replied .
he Why ? My v My voice came out as a whisper ; I hated that tears were burning in my eyes .
I didnt want him to see me as weak right now , I didnt need him pitying me .
I didnt want you to wake up alone .
With those words in the air between us , he turned and walked out of the room .
I kept my eyes glued on the door he just walked through , wondering where he was going and what kind of business he had .
Did it involve the competition ? Should I be involved in this business too ? I groaned knowing that I couldnt do anything about it because I was lying in a hospital bed , helpless … weak .
The door flew open and soon , Nan was rushing into the room .
We listed each other as emergency contacts when we checked in , so the doctor called me after you got out of surgery to update me , she told me as she threw her arms around me .
I think I blew the competition , I said , tears spilling out of my eyes and down my cheeks .
I had been holding in these tears for some time now and I was relieved to finally be able to release them .
No … no , you still have a chance , Nan said as she hugged me ; I knew she was just trying to make me feel better , but I didnt .
My ankle is broken , and it wont be fixed for another 24 hours , I cried .
I was supposed to start today .
We will figure it out , she whispered .
We spent some time talking and eventually , thanks to the pain medication the doctor gave me , I ended up falling asleep .noveldrama
This time when I woke up , it was because of a strange presence wafted into the room as the door opened .
I opened my eyes and looked over at the man walking towards me .
It was Beta Ron .
A second later , Nan came rushing into the room as well and my eyes dropped at the sight of her smile .
Whats going on ? I asked , staring between the two of them .
She came to us and explained that you were injured and couldnt compete until tomorrow , Beta Ron said , glancing at his clipboard with a frown .
We switched you with another person so you can compete tomorrow morning instead .
Are you serious ?? I asked my hope in my throat , waiting to burst .
Beta Ron nodded .
Yeah , and you have this one to thank for that .
She was persistent , Ron muttered .
He turned and left the room .
Nan squealed and hugged me .
I couldnt believe this … I was going to compete , and nothing was standing in my way this time .
Thank you , Nan , I breathed as I hugged her back .
I told you , we got this , she replied .
She was right ; we got this
Chapter 0282 Judys POV Are you sure your foot is okay ? Nan asked as she followed me around our suite .
It was later In the evening , the first round of the competition ended .
I managed to see about an hour of it after I left the resort urgent care .noveldrama
Nan and I found some empty seats in the audience and cheered on the first round of competitors.
Some had already gotten eliminated , and it was brutal to watch .
I tried not to look at Gavin who sat with the other Lycans in the front row .
I hated how good he looked and how badly I wanted of rip that suit off his body .
The memory of his touch made my body tremble .
Did you hear me ? Nan asked , waiving her hand in front of my face , bringing me back to the present moment .
Sorry , I said as I went to the closet .
I grabbed a dress that brought and turned to look at her .
What did you say ? I asked if you were sure your foot was okay .
You dont have to go to this dinner .
You didnt compete today .
I know , but I want to be there for support , I told her .
You could always come with me .
I promised some of the girls Id go to a bar with them tonight , Nan said pointing .
Im sorry .
Go have fun ; dont worry about me , I told her , hugging her .
And yes , my foot is fine .
Its already out of the and its only been a few hours .
I could still feel pain , but it wasnt nearly as bad .
If I go easy and dont use it too much , then Ill be fine and ready to compete tomorrow morning .
I went to get dressed , and Nan helped me fix my hair and makeup .
I wanted to make some good impressions at this dinner .
Every night this week there was going to be a special dinner for the competitors .
We didnt have to go to them , but it left an impression .
After I said my goodbyes to Nan for the evening , I went straight to the party room .
Once again , I had to follow the map , and a few times , I got horribly lost .
Eventually , I found the room where the event was being held .
Gavins POV You definitely want to go to this dinner ? Derek asked with a timid frown on his face as he stared at me .
The elevator doors opened , and I stepped out with Derek following closely behind me .
The Paparazzi snapped pictures of me and paused so I could pose for some pictures I wasnt a complete dick .
After a minute , Derek helped me get out of the hands of the paparazzi and towards the party room .
I I figured I should show my face for at least one of these dinners , I murmured .
We reached the party room , and I walked inside .
From there I was greeted by eager fans and bows of respect .
The room was decorated beautifully for the competitors , and everybody wore their best clothes .
These events were typically held in formal attire .
Alpha Landry , so good for you to join us , Alpha Levi said as he handed me a glass of wine .
I frowned at him ; I didnt trust this guy , especially with Judy in the same resort .
Theres no telling what he would do to her if he found out about what was going on between ijs .
We missed you at the banquet last night .
It was meant to kick off the competition , Levi continued as he took a sip of his red wine .
Chapter 0282 I got in kind of late , I lied .
I wanted to rest .
Understandable , Levi said , his eyes icy .
You are very busy , so I dont blame you .
The last thing I wanted to do was stand there and make small talk .
I could feel the other Lycans watching me .
They were always filled with jealousy and resentment , so I tried to keep a distance from them when I could .
My eyes immiedalty caught wind of something and I froze .
Judy was walking through the door , her dress hugging her thin and strong form perfectly .
Its crazy how she could go from looking like a gym rat to a supermodel .
My eyes trailed down her slender legs and I frowned when I saw there was no cast on her ankle .
She looked nervous as she walked through the door ; she had her hands on her stomach like she might get sick at any moment .
She was supposed to be resting her ankle … but on top of that , being here was ous for her .
What was she thinking ? Following me here ? Now it seemed as if she wanted everyone to find about us .
hapter 0283
Anger surged through me, and I heard the low growl of my wolf. If I didn’t get him under control, everyone would see me lose it entirely. I knew I was projecting a powerful aura and soon, the entire resort would feel it as well.
I excused myself from Levi as I walked toward Judy. My eyes glared at her, and she was oblivious to it. However, the second she saw me, shock registered on her face. I grabbed her arm before she could say a word and pulled her out of the party room and into the hallway. She stumbled over her own feet, wincing in pain and I momently felt like a jackass because I knew her ankle still hurt her despite the fact that she was no longer wearing a cast.
I pressed Judy into the wall, pinning her beneath my body. She trembled and I wasn’t sure if it was out of fear, or desire.
“You shouldn’t be here. Are you trying to make me look stupid?” I sneered. I didn’t like how I sounded. I knew I sounded like a jerk, but I couldn’t help myself.
“How does me being here affect you?” Judy bit back, giving me a shove so I’d loosen my grip on her. I had to hand it to her; I liked the fact that wasn’t afraid to stand her ground and she never held back when it came to me. She wasn’t afraid of me… it was refreshing.
“Coming to stalk me… affects me,” I said, my eyes landing on her full lips. She was nibbling on her lower lip, drawing my attention. I knew she was only doing it out of a nervous habit, but it made me want to taste her lips.noveldrama
“And who said anything about stalking you?” She asked, her eyes glancing at my mouth before she met my eyes again.
“What else would you be doing here?”
“Perhaps you should pay more attention,” she replied, giving me another shove. “Now can I go back to the party room? I’m quite hungry and would like to get some food before it’s all gone.”
I wanted to argue with her that she shouldn’t be eating the meal prepared for the competitors. I could just take her to dinner myself and we can have a meal in the small city. I couldn’t explain it, but I had this strong urge to get her out of this resort and hide her away. A large part of me wanted to protect her in more ways than I could.
“You shouldn’t be walking around,” I warned her.
She was about to say something more, but then voices in the party room stopped her. They were right by the door and easy to pick up on.
“Has Judy Montague arrived yet?”
“Not yet, Alpha. I’ll let you know as soon as she does.”
“see that you do.”
I recognized the voices as Levi and his Beta. I furrowed my brows, confused by what I had heard.
“Why would Alpha Levi be speaking to you about?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her; I had her pinned against the wall again within a second.
‘How am I supposed to know?” She asked through her teeth. “It’s not your business.”
A smirk played on my lips.
“Did you come here to seduce me?” I asked her, my voice low and sultry, my breath brushing across the side of her face, making her body tremble beneath mine.
I knew she wanted to give in; she was seconds away from caving. I was good when it came to these types of games. The door to the party room started to open and I knew it was my queue to break what was happening between us. I pulled away from her in time for Beta Ron to walk into the hallway, freezing when he saw us.
“Alpha Landry,” Beta Ron nodded at me before his eyes flickered to Judy and widened. “Alpha Levi requests that you speak with him once you arrive.”
I narrowed my eyes at Ron and then glanced at Judy.
How did Levi even know she was coming here?
“Do you know what it’s about?” Judy asked as she spared me one last look and then turned to walk into the party
room.
“I’m sure it’s about your first day competing tomorrow,” I caught Ron saying as the door shut, leaving me in the hall alone, my mouth agape.
Judy was competing?
hapter 0284 Judys POV Oh , Judy .
There you are , Alpha Levi said as I approached smiled at him , feeling a bit awkward and frazzled after my conversation with Gavin .
I could feel that my checks were incredibly hot and I touched them lightly , hoping they werent as red as they felt .
If Levi noticed , he didnt say anything , or stare at them .
I heard you wanted to speak with me ? I asked .
He nodded and glanced down at my foot .
How is your ankle ? He asked .
Its healing , I assured him .
By tomorrow morning itll be completely healed .
Good , He said thoughtfully .
Make sure you ice it tonight and try to stay off it as much as you can , he told me .
Your table is right over there .
He pointed to one of the clothed tables and in one of the empty seats was a small nameplate that read : Judy .
Thank you , Alpha , I said ; I started towards the table , but he stopped me .
Actually , I wanted to introduce you to someone , he told me , stopping me in my tracks .
I turned to look at him , plastering a polite smile .
All I really wanted to do was sit down and get this dinner over with Sure , I agreed .
He motioned for me to follow him , so I did .
I ignored Gavins penetrating gaze ; I noticed him while I was talking to Alpha Levi .
His eyes were dark , and his lips were pressed in a thin line .
If he was going get rid of me talking to his enemy , perhaps this would be more fun than I thought .
A grin spread across my lips , but I stifled it with a cough as I passed by Gavin .
We stopped in front of a young man , no older than me , speaking with a few people .
His back was turned , but he was tall and had a good head of black ; it was sleek and went down to his shoulders .
The kind of hair that made a woman want to run her fingers through it … or braid it .
I stood beside Alpha Levi and to my surprise , he placed his hand on the small of my back and he kept a tight grip on my hip .
It made me a bit uncomfortable , but I remained frozen beside him .
Theo , Alpha Levi said , getting the mans attention .
When he turned , I met his forest green eyes and a dimpled smile .
He had a pretty boys face , and I knew right away that he had no trouble finding women .
Keeping women though … well … he looked like a typical womanizer .
The way his smile grew when he saw me , I knew he was going of be an issue for the next couple of weeks .
Alpha Levi , Theo said, glancing up at the Alpha and bowing his head slightly : What can I do for you ? I wanted to introduce you to Judy Montague .
Shes from the Redmoon pack , Levi introduced .
Judy , Theodore Humphry , hes from the Darkmoon pack … my pack .
this is Its an honor to meet you , Miss Judy , Theo said , taking my hand in his and bringing it to his lips .
It felt weird to have his lips on my skin , but I gave him a polite smile in return .
You as well , I said to him .
I wasnt entirely sure why Levi was introducing us , but I figured I would find out soon .
Chapter noka – Theo is one of my top students , Levi continued to explain Hes going to be a tough one to beat .
Theo looked proud of himself ; was this some kind of sike out ? I forced another smile , trying not to look bothered .
Is that so ? I asked him .
I had a good teacher , he told me .noveldrama
Are you here alone ? It was a quick subject change that took me by surprise .
I blinked at him , but then I nodded .
Uh , yeah .
My friend went elsewhere for dinner , I told him You are here with just a friend ? He asked .
Yes , I said as I studied him .
I studied his many facial expressions and his stance while speaking to me .
He was easy to read , and I wondered if he was just as easy to read on the battle friend .
No doubt I would have to fight him at some point ; I needed to do some research on this guy and find out his fighting techniques .
Before I could say anything more , the food started to be served .
I turned back to Theo who was watching me with an expression that I couldnt quite read , and it made me unsettled .
Im going to take a seat , I told him , pointing at the table It was nice to meet you .
I looked at Alph Levi and bowed my head slightly to him before departing and heading toward my table .
Everybody was already seated at their tables except for one seat that was empty .
It was right next to mine .
I wondered if they decided not to come to this dinner ; I probably should have just gone with Nan .
I wasnt really finding out much information about anyone .
They were all being careful not to show their weaknesses , knowing that they would be scoped out .
Chapter 0285 1 caught wind of a couple of girls speaking at the table next to mine .
I took riote of how the girls interacted with one another .
The way one of them had her leg bouncing and the other kept tapping her fingers on the table .
Every little detail mattered because it could help when it counted the more .
The competition didnt start in the pit , it started the second the plane landed in this country .
Every moment was part of the competition , and I had to be careful with what I did and who I spoke to .
I felt a presence beside me and when I turned , I froze Theo was seated beside me .
He had a grin on his face as he looked down at me and my stomach twisted .
I knew he was going to be a problem these next few weeks .
What are you doing ? I asked in a whisper .
He grabbed the nameplate off the seat and showed it to me my eyes grew wide when I realized that was his seat .
Of course , it was , I shouldnt have been surprised that this was my luck .
So , are you seeing anyone ? He asked against my ear , making me instinctively pull away .
Thats not any of your concern , I told him , avoiding his gaze .
Well , what if I wanted to take you out ? He asked , that grin never leaves his face .
He was so full of himself .
I dont date the competition , I told him , my eyes narrowed as I finally looked up to meet his eyes .
He was sitting way too close to me for my comfort .
I heard something slamming and shattering across the room , making much of the room , including me , jump .
I turned to see Gavin standing with the eyes of his wolf shining .
He smashed his plate .
Food was everywhere on the table ; even the other Lycans were staring at him , their mouths agape .
The only one who wasnt looking at him was Alpha Levi .
He was sipping on his wine with a smug look on his face .
Had he said something to Gavin to make him angry ? The room had fallen so silent that you could hear a pin drop .
Whats going on ? Theo asked .
Im not sure , I replied , my heart in my throat .noveldrama
Gavin wasnt looking at me , more like staring at the room as a whole .
He looked down at his plate and muttered something , keeping his tone low enough that not even I could hear him .
He turned and stormed out of the room without a single lock .
My chest tightened .
I had a strange urge to follow him to make sure he was okay or didnt get himself in any trouble .
He was clearly mad about something , and it disrupted the entire room .
A couple of staff members came to clean up the mess and replace his food .
The other Lycans started to talk amongst themselves at Gavins outburst .
Shortly after , the food for the rest of us started to get served , making the entire room smell delicious , I knew I wasnt going to be able to eat … at least not until I made sure Gavin was okay .
1 Excuse me a moment , I said to the table as I stood .
I need to use the restroom .
They nodded as I walked away .
Once I got near the door , I started to speed up .
I pushed through the door and stumbled into the hallway , I looked around , frowning .
Where could he have gone ? As I walked down the hallway , the silence started to feel eecle .
It was deliberate .
# : Chapter 25 It made me freeze all together ; was someone watching ; me Before I could speak , I felt a hand grabbing my wrist .
I spun around , my heart in my throat as I pulled into the nearby closet and pressed against the wall .
I not only recognized the scent but also the body pressed up against me .
G … Gavin ? I asked .
Oh , you remembered my name , he sneered , his lips brushing gross my earlobe as he nipped at it .
I wiggled beneath him , trying to get myself free , but it only made him press into me that much stronger .
Gavin , let me go , I demanded .
Why should ? So , you can go off with my Mr.
Boy ? He seethed ; I could hear the anger and hatred in his tone , and it made me freeze .
Was that why he was upset ? Because Theo was talking to me ? Was Gavin actually jealous ? Youre lucky I didnt kill him right then and there , he growled ; his tone was low and deadly , sending a chill up my spine .
He brushed his lips across the nape of my neck ; I thought my heart was going to beat right out of my chest with how fast it was beating .
If I ever see his hands on you again … he started to say , his voice raspy as he brushed his lips across mine .
Ill make sure its the last thing he does .
Chapter 0286 Judys POV Gavin kissed me gently , like his resolve was starting to break .
Part of me didnt want it to break though .
I liked this side of him … I liked that he was jealous of me .
I ran my fingers up the inside of his shirt , allowing my palms to brush across his smooth abs .
He parted his lips as he breathed me in , our lips only inches apart as we struggle against what we wanted and what was right .noveldrama
My hands continued to glide up his body , making sure to touch each and every ab on his torso until I reached the top of his chest .
Wrapping my arms around the back of his deck , I leaned up and kissed him .
That was all he needed .
His wolf went from furious to lustful in a matter of seconds He quickly unbuttoned his shirt as he deepened the kiss , pinning me against the wall with his knee as he used his hand to remove each button .
His tongue glided across my bottom lip , and I welcomed it into my mouth without hesitation .
I sucked on his tongue as he found the zipper of my dress , pulling it down gently .
I appreciated that he didnt rip the dress off my body because I didnt have another nice one like this .
My dress fell to the ground , and I stepped out of it , leaving me in my bra and panties .
I was glad I wore my good and matching undergarments .
Both were black and lacy , making his eyes grow dark .
Who are you wearing these for ? He asked , taking in my appearance .
Do I need a reason to want to feel sexy ? I asked in return , ignoring his question .
A low growl escaped his throat as he once again pressed me into the wall ; his lips coming down on mine as he gave me a bruising kiss .
He ran his lips down the nape of my neck as he pulled my underwear to the lice .
He ran his finger through my soaked slits , and I heard him growl deeply at the feeling .
He brought his fingers to my mouth and made me taste myself on him .
It only turned me on even more , I wanted him … I needed him .
I couldnt seem to stop myself from touching him ; I ran my fingers up and down his washboard abs , feeling a swarm of butterflies taking flight in the pit of my belly .
He reached down , pulling back slightly and unpinning me from the wall .
He quickly undid his belt , dropping it to the ground and then he undid his pants .
I watched as he kicked his pants to the side , leaving him in only his boxers .
My mouth watered at the sight of him ; he was so hot that it should have been illegal .
He grabbed my hips , hands firm as he gripped , taking away the feeling of Levis hands as he squeezed the side of my hip .
his I wrapped my arms around his neck , allowing him to lift me .
Instinctively , I wrapped my legs around his waist as he pressed me back against the wall .
He kissed me like a hungry animal and I was his pretty .
Our tongues tangled with one another , both fighting over dominance of one another .
I wasnt sure where this strong need came from , especially considering I had sex with him my first night here .
But I suddenly couldnt seem to get enough ; I couldnt get close enough and I desperately wanted to get closer .
As if he could read my thoughts , or maybe he was feeling the same way too , he lowered his boxers , making his manhood fling free and rubbing against my center .
He breathed me in as he slowly pushed inside of me .
Shots of pleasure coursed through me as he hit that perfect spot over and over again .
I gasped out his name because that was all 1 could think to say , my heart , body , and soul were filled with Gavin Landry and I needed that to be expressed .
I wanted him to know that he doesnt have to worry about other men because the only one I want … the only one my body craves … is him .
Chapter 0766 In this closet , there was no sense of time .
There was only Gavin and me and tingles ran through my body like a lightning bolt .
With each thrust , he got deeper inside of me and a few times he had to silence me with a kiss because I was being too loud .
He nibbled on my ear , nipped at my neckline , and left small marks along my breasts .
He reached between us where we were joined and he rubbed my clit with his thumb , teasing the little nub until it was swollen .
I breathed out his name as I came undone and in a few more thrusts , he was growing in my ear as he came undone .
Chapter 0287 We remained like that for a moment longer ; both silent and breathing in one another .
My body trembled from the aftershock of pleasure that coursed through me , He slowly pulled out of me , making me whimper from the loss of him .
He unpinned me and I slid down the wall , my body still trembling .
He didnt say anything as he quickly dressed , tossing me my clothes as well so I could dress .
I was shaking now , and it wasnt because of the aftershocks of pleasure , it was because of all the raw emotions I was feeling at that moment .
It was a feeling I had never remotely felt before and it was terrifying I wanted to cry , I hit my lip , trying to desperately keep the tears away .
Why didnt you tell me you were competing ? He asked while struggling to zip my dress .
I was turned away from him so he wouldnt see my face .
I didnt want him to know that I was crying .
I hated that I was … but I couldnt help myself .noveldrama
These emotions were too much for me to handle and I thought my heart was going to explode .
I wasnt sure what to say to him or how to answer his question in the first place .
I felt his hands on the small of my back and realized just how close he was to me .
My entire body went tense from the feeling of him .
His lips brushed across the back of my neck as I felt his hands gliding up the bare of my skin as he zipped my dress for me .
He must have seen me struggling with the zipper .
Answer me , he demanded in a low tone against my ear , sending warmth throughout my entire body .
I tried , I admitted .
His eyes narrowed .
What ? You were always so busy , I never got the chance .
But I tried .
I figured you were done with me , so I decided not to tell you after all , I said , nibbling on my lower lip .
He grabbed hold of my arms and spun me around to face him .
Why would you think I was done with you ? When I didnt answer , he scowled .
I looked up at him , blinkng away the tears before they spilled out of my eyes and down my cheeks .
Youve been ignoring me these last couple of weeks , I told him .
I barely see you anymore … I already told you Ive been busy , he said through his teeth .
I nodded .
I know … I whispered .
I just … I dont know … He remained quiet for a moment longer and I cleared my throat , feeling awkward .
I should get back … I told him , motioning for the door .
As started to pass him , he grabbed my arm once more , halting me in my tracks .
When he spoke , his low and sultry , making my skin tingle from his close proximity .
Come to my room tonight .
Chapter 0287 Third Person POV Alpha Levi stared at the door that Judy had just walked through .
He knew she was going to check on Gavin .
He also knew that she was going to come up with some excuse for her table , like going to the bathroom or something .
Seeing the look on Judys face when Gavin had that outburst upon seeing her with another man was all the truth Levi needed to see .
He wasnt going to take Ethans word without finding out the truth for himself .
But now he sees that Ethan was correct … Gavin is involved with Judy .
Alpha Levi scanned the room until his eyes found Millys , his daughter .
He had high hopes for her, though he knew she wouldnt win the entire competition despite what she might think .
He had way more promising students than her .
But she was useful when it came to gossip and getting information that Alpha Levi needed when it came to Miss Montague .
Then there was his other secret weapon .
He purposefully placed Theos name card next to Judy .
He wanted Theo to make moves on Judy , maybe even get her to trust him enough to talk to him .
Or maybe to just get a rise out of Gavin .
Gavin wasnt the kind of man who had many weaknesses , but now that Levi found out the truth about his relationship with Judy Montague , he knew that maybe Gavin did have a weakness after all .
Theo met Levis eyes and grinned , giving Levi a slight nod Things were going according to plan.
Chapter 0288 Gavins POV I didnt bother returning to the dinner .
I didnt need to deal with Levi and his shit .
He made me lose my cool in front of everybody and now they were going to see me as a monster .
That wasnt something I wanted to deal with right now .
During the dinner , I sent a text to Beta Taylor , asking him to find out if Judy was actually competing .
He sent me a digital copy of the competitors and sure enough , Judy was amongst them .
I clenched my fists ; how could she not tell me something as important as this ? 1 How did she even get here ? Did she take a commercial plane ? I had my private plane , I could have brought her here ..
And did she come here herself ? Or was a friend with her ? Would she be stupid enough to travel to a different country completely by herself ? I had a lot of questions I needed answered and I wasnt going to be able to rest until I got these answers .
I took a long walk , and my Gamma , Derek , trailed me but tried not to make it obvious .
He was good at hiding in the shadows and only being seen when needed .
I returned to my hotel suite and got undressed .
I put on a pair of sweatpants and a T shirt .noveldrama
Derek went to his own room ; I wanted my privacy , so I got us each our own rooms .
I dismissed him for the night telling him I could handle myself .
I was still reeling from the dinner party .
The thought of that jackass touching Judy ; he was sitting way too close to her and kept whispering in her ear .
What the fuck was he saying to her to make her blush ? There was a soft knock on the door .
I glanced at the time and saw that it was just after 9 pm .
I had been so lost in thought that I wasnt paying attention to the time .
I went to the door and pulled it open , saw Judy starting to walk away .
Her head was down and her face was red like an apple .
She was leaving , not wanting me to know that she tried to knock .
It was soft enough that she probably thought I didnt hear it , but I had Lycan hearing so it seemed louder to me .
Before she even noticed I opened the door , I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the room , slamming the door behind us .
She gasped and fell into me as I wrapped my arms around her , holding her as tightly as I could without crushing her .
Where did you think you were going ? I asked her .
She relaxed as I continued to hold her .
1 … I thought maybe youd be sleeping , she told me , her voice coming out as a breathy whisper .
Dont lie to me , Judy , I whispered as my lips brushed across her upper cheek .
She let out the breath she had been holding before she peeked up at me through her lashes .
She parted her lips to say something , but I didnt give her the chance .
I closed the gap between us , kissing her hungrily and deeply until she was nothing but a puddle in my arms .
I deepened the kiss even more , shoving my tongue into her mouth and tasting everything she had to offer .
Something about her made me feel feral .
She ran her fingers up my body , taking my shirt off in the process .
I tossed the shirt to the ground and pulled her closer to me , my hands firmly gripping her hips , thrusting my groin against her as we made our way to the bed .
She was still wearing that sexy little black dress that made me want to rip it off her body , but I didnt want to destroy her dress when these dinner parties were important to her .
I slowly undid the zipper of her dress , letting it fall to the ground as I lifted her up and onto the bed .
Our lips never broke apart from one another ; this time , it was different .
It was slower , more intimate feeling , and less feral .
I used my teeth to pull down the straps of her bra , making her tremble from my touch .
I pulled her bra down until her breasts sprang free from their hold .
Her nipples were hard and begging for me to touch them ; small goosebumps lined the sides of her breasts as I ran my fingers across them , tugging at her nipples in the process .
and making them even harder .
I smiled at the effect I had on her body .
Chapter 0289 I ran my lips across her cleavage and then I stuck my tongue out to coat her beautiful pink nipples .
She gasped at 1 the feeling , and I wanted to take it a step further and nibble on them .
I hit one of her nipples , tugging it into my mouth and making her whimper .
But it didnt seem like she was in pain … no , she was enjoying herself just fine .
1 let out a growl as I continued to tease and play with her breasts until my lips found hers again .
She kissed me deeply like she couldnt get enough of me , as if she was parched and 1 was her last sip of water .
She drew my bottom lip into her mouth and sucked on it like it was a piece of candy .
She ran her fingers down my broad back , landing at the seams of my waistband .
I already knew what she wanted , and I wasnt going to deny her so I pulled down my sweatpants , boxers , and all , flinging my erection free for her to touch .
She wrapped her small hands around it and started to stroke it while she kissed me .
The feeling of her hands on me made me even harder and my cock twitched in her palm This woman was going to be my undoing , I thought to myself as I devoured her lips , making them swollen from my bruising kisses .
Gavin … she whispered , her eyes half closed as she wiggled beneath me .
She was tugging on my member , trying to bring it closer to her center .
I need you .
I smirked and ran my lips across the nape of her neck , taking in her scent and the warmth her body radiated .
Tell me you wont let him touch you , I said through my teeth .
Any of them .
She didnt need me to clarify who I was talking about .
I saw the way Theo kissed her hand and how Levi put his hand on the small of her back .
Both of which infuriated me .
She looked up at me , her eyes filled with lust and desire .
What ? She asks softly , her brows pinching together lightly .
I kissed the crease between her brows , softening her facial expression .
Im the only one allowed to touch you , I whispered in her ear , my tone growly .
I positioned my cock at her center , ready to push inside of her , but I needed to hear her confirmation that her body was mine to do , touch , and please whenever the fuck I want I wanted to be sure that no other man would touch her and that included Alpha Levi .
Repeat me , I said , pressing her firmly into the bed .
She peeked up at me , nipping at my bottom lip playfully and small smile playing on her lips .
Youre the only one allowed to touch me , Gavin , she whispered .
I pushed inside of her without a second thought , plunging until I was completely filling her .
She gasped at the sudden intrusion , but then I felt her relaxing as pleasure coursed through her .
She threw her head back and panted out my name .
I loved hearing her say my name when I made her feel good like this .
It made me want to hear it again and again until she couldnt speak anymore .
Say it again , I demanded .
Say my name .
Gavin … she breathed .
Oh , yes , Gavin .
Dont stop … she pleaded .
1 lifted her up , making her straddle my lap as I kissed her and bounced her on top of me .
I ran my lips down the nape of her neck , nibbling on the soft part beneath her car and making her tremble with pleasure .
Say it again , I demanded .
Gavin … she whispered hoarsely .
with I kissed her , our kiss deep and lingering .
I ran my nails down her back , knowing that I was marking her up my nails , but I also knew shed heal tomorrow and it would be like it never happened .
She didnt seem to mind though ; she relaxed into me allowing me to thrust even harder .
I felt my cock twitching inside of her and I knew it wouldnt be long before I reached the peak .
She wrapped her legs tightly around my waist and her body was racked with shudders as she fell over the edge ; I fell immediately after her , releasing my seed and coating her inner walls with everything I had to offer .
We had sex a few more times that night before we both passed out from exhaustion .noveldrama
By the next morning , Judy was gone .
Chapter 0290 Judys POV Are you really not going to tell me why you came home so late last night ? No way did that dinner end at 2 am , Nan said , folding her arms across her chest as she watched me rummage through my clothes , trying to find the workout outfit I planned to wear for the competition .
Nope , I told her , grinning .
I really didnt want to have to think about it right now , honestly .
I couldnt seem to stop thinking about Gavin and how he made me feel last night .
The raw emotions that were so real in my chest last night felt foreign now .
I could still feel the ghost of his touch on my body , and I shuddered at the memory .
I finally found my clothes and went into the bathroom to change .
I was nervous enough about this competition , I didnt need to start second guessing things with Gavin too .
Youre no fun ! Nan said from the other side of the bathroom door .
I chuckled as I quickly dressed and threw my hair in a ponytail .
After I finished with my business , I opened the bathroom door to find Nan standing in front of me with her hands folded across her chest .
Id tell you if anything happened between me and boy , she told me , sticking her nose in the air .
I laughed and gave her a playful shove as I walked past her Theres not much to tell , 1 admitted .
I mean … we had sex .
Thats all there is to it .
Seriously though ? He made you so upset that you fled the country without saying anything to him , she reminded me .
We were supposed to be taking a break from guys .
She was right ; I did promise her that this would be a guy free trip .
She had to get her mind off Chester , and I wanted to get my mind off Gavin .
But now it seemed I couldnt stop thinking about Gavin .
Youre right , I told her .
Im sorry .
She sighed and shook her head .
No , Im sorry , she murmured .
Im being a terrible friend .
You clearly like him and I shouldnt stand in your way .
We are only causal fuck buddies , I teased with a shrug .
At least thats what it seems like we are … You havent talked about it ? She asked with a frown .
I shook my head .
No , and Im not sure Im going to , I admitted .
Things are really sloppy right now .
I think its better if I just focus on this competition .
She nodded thoughtfully as she glanced at the time .
Do you have time for breakfast ? I have an hour .
Lets get something fast , I replied .
We ended up getting breakfast at the breakfast buffet in the dining hall .
They had a lot of great food , but my nerves were getting the best of me so I decided to only eat a little .
I grabbed some orange juice and a piece of toast while Nan piled up her plate .
Chapter 0290 We took a seat at an empty table while she devoured her food and talked my ear off about her day with her new friends .
I was glad she met some people to occupy her time while I focused on this competition .
The small plate I had for my toast disappeared and I frowned down at where it was .
A second later , a new plate appeared in front of me .
It had a ton of food on it ; way more than I could stomach .
I looked up to see Gavin frowning at me ; my eyes grew wide .
You need to eat , he told me before he turned away with my toast .
I stared down at the food and then back at Gavin .
He was now seated at a different table , listening to something someone was saying with earnest curiosity .
My cheeks were flushed .
Had anyone noticed him doing that ? I glanced around and I didnt see anyone watching me , thankfully .
Nan looked as if she was about to burst out laughing as she nibbled on her own food , trying not to make eyel contact with me .
As annoyed as I was that Gavin did that , I couldnt argue with him .
I knew I had to eat properly if I wanted to get through today , that was why I was forcing toast down my throat .
I relented and picked up my fork .
Once I ate half the plate , I couldnt stomach it anymore and pushed it aside .
I glanced at the time ; I only had 20 minutes left before the competition started .
I have to go , I told Nan .
She nodded and gave me a double thumbs up .
Ill be rooting for you , she said .noveldrama
Good luck today ! I nodded and hurried out of the dining hall .
The competition arena was packed with participants and audience .
Alpha Levi was in the center of the arena , talking to some other Alphas and Lycans .
One of the Gammas who were keeping watch over the event directed me to some of the other competitors .
I had never been around this many people at once before and I had to admit , my nerves were on fire .
I was glad that my ankle no longer hurt , I just hoped I didnt damage it again while I was fighting .
Oh , its you , a voice said from beside me .
I turned to see that girl I met in the gym , Tabby .
Are you competing today ? She asked .
1 nodded .
Yes , I replied .
You ? Yup , she said with a grin .
Well most likely be fighting each other at some point today .
Good luck , she said with a wink .
