Chapter 626
Gavin’s POV
Just as I stepped out of Judy’s condo, I nearly ran smack into another figure. I narrowed my eyes at the sudden delay, only to realize that it was Luna Lucy. Her eyes were wide as if I was the one who startled her.
I didn’t have time for her antics right now; I needed to find Judy. Bad a knot in the pit of my stomach telling me that something was wrong, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t bite back that feeling.
I walked around Lucy and started towards my car; I could feel Lucy following me, her steps hurried as she rushed to keep up.
“She’s not home?” She asked once she was at my side.
“Nope,” I said, ending the conversation before it began.
“Let me help you look for her, Alpha,” Lucy rushed out. “She’s my friend…”
“You should have stopped her from leaving if you were her friend, I spat before I could stop myself. I was on thin ice, and I knew that; just because I was Lycan, didn’t mean I could trample on people whenever I wanted, especially not on someone else’s territory. There were still rules in place, and I was willing to break each and every single one of them if it meant having Judy back in my arms where she belonged.
“That’s not on me!” Lucy said, an anger sparked to life. “I tried to get her to stop, but she was devastated over something that you apparently did. Her leaving has nothing to do with me and everything to do with you. I’m not sure what you did to her, but
Before I could stop myself, my hand was around Lucy’s throat.
“I don’t care if you are the Luna of this pack, you don’t speak to me like that,” I said through my teeth, my wolf pushing his powers out, making my aura that much stronger.
Her eyes were wide, and her body trembled.
Before she could start gasping for breath, I released and turned towards my car. I knew once word of that got back to Sampson,
hell would break loose.
“You’re right,” Lucy croaked, rubbing her sore neck. “I was a terrible friend… I never told her about Spencer’s undying obsession with her. I shouldn’t have let him take her, but I don’t think he’s going ot hurt her…”
My entire body went frigid. Just as I reached my car, I forced myself to turn around and look at this woman.
“What do you mean by obsession?” I asked her, trying to keep both myself and my wolf calm. “What aren’t you telling me?”
Lucy swallowed, her eyes brimming with crocodile tears.
“Ever since the Gamma Competition…”
“He was in the competition?” I cut her off with my own question, my tone sharp and cutting through like a knife.
“No, but he goes every year to support the competition,” she explained. “The second he saw Judy, he fell in love with her. She was all he could talk about. When he found out she was coming to this pack, he was over the moon excited… a little too much, honestly. It was unsettling, but they quickly became friends.” 2
My blood was fucking boiling
Who the fuck did this asshole think he was… trying to take what was mine.
Mine.
My wolf hummed his agreement, and I felt something spark to life inside of me. Judy was fucking mine. I wasn’t letting anyone take her from me. She was mine to hold… mine to kiss… mine to fuck… mine to love.

“I need to know where he is before I tear down this entire pack looking for him,” I said as my teeth started to elongate; my wolf was close to breaking through the surface and I was trying hard to keep him pulled back so he didn’t do something we’d both end up regretting… like starting a war, or killing someone innocent
“We can check his house,” Lucy was quick to say. “He lives with just his grandmother. She’s a sweet old lady who upkeeps a little farm behind their house. If he’s not there, I’m sure she’ll have a bit of insight on where he could have gone.”
There was much more time to think twice about it, so I nodded, motioning for the car.
“Get in and tell me where she lives,” I said as I pulled open the driver’s door.
She was quick to get into the passenger side. She directed us to Spencer’s house, and within a few minutes, we were pulling into the driveway. It unsettled me with how close he lived to Judy, but then again, this was a very small pack.
I got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me as I walked towards the house.
I didn’t smell any signs of Judy, and my wolf wasn’t sensing her. Then again, it could be because of the masking spray, but I’d like to think I would be able to feel it if she were in this area.
An old woman stood outside, watering some plants in her front garden.
“Carol,” Lucy greeted the woman; the woman, Carol, turned and then smiled warmly when she saw Lucy.
“Oh, hello child,” Carol said, accepting Lucy’s embrace. “I wasn’t expecting a visit from the Luna today.”
“Sorry, I haven’t been by in a while. Things have been kind of hectic,” Lucy tells her with a small frown.
