Chapter 0355
Judy’s POV
There was nothing worse than the feeling of being stood up
I hated that I waited there for so long, too, even though it was clear he wasn’t going to show up. I brushed my thoughts out of my head and went back to the gym area where I was supposed to meet up with everybody for watch duty tonight. We were given schedules and certain parts of the territory that we would be keeping watch of, like security guards.
We were supposed to go in groups with a Lycan.
When I reached the gym, Lycan Levi was standing in the center, waiting for those of us to gather around. Jeremy and Mica were also with him, lost in their own conversation
Tabby smiled at me as I approached her, and when she saw the expression on my sunken face, she frowned.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
I didn’t want her to know about my guy issues, so I gave her a forced smile and shook my head.
“I didn’t get much rest today,” I admitted, which was the complete truth, I didn’t get any rest because of the whole Nan thing and then waiting for Gavin the last couple of hours.
“You’re telling me. I had so much adrenaline from winning that competition. I’m not sure how they expected us to get any rest after that,” she said with a light laugh. “Will you be okay on Watch duty tonight?”
“Yeah, I’ll be fine,” I assured her.
“Maybe we’ll be on the same team again. We can pick up each other’s slack,” she said with a laugh.
I chuckled, too.
“Okay, looks like this is everybody,” Levi said, staring around at the small group. “A few of you are going with me tonight,” he said, his eyes scanning the space, lingering on me for a beat too long before moving on. “Mica and Jeremy are choosing their tag–along first.”
Mica stood beside Levi, and Levi said something to him that the rest of us couldn’t hear. For a moment, Mica’s eyes flickered to me, and then he nodded.
He chose a few of the competitors, and they went off without another word. Jeremy was next, he also glanced at me as Levi said something to him. I felt my cheeks flushing it was clear he was talking about me, but I wondered what exactly he was saying.
Jeremy chose his competitors as well, and then soon, they were also off.
That left only a few of us left, including Tabby, who had her arm draped through mine with a big grin on her face. I knew she was happy we were on the same team, but I couldn’t help but get a strange feeling as I looked at Alpha Levi.
“Okay, and that leaves the rest of you,” Levi said with a grin as he stared at the small group, his eyes landing on me. “I so look forward to working with you.” There was a dark undertone to his voice that sent a chill down my spine.
Before anyone could say anything more, the door swung open, and a familiar presence wafted throughout the room, causing a pause. We all looked in the direction of the intrusion, and my heart skipped a beat when I saw Gavin strolling casually into the gym as if he owned the place.

Levi glared at Gavin as he approached.
It looks could kill
“You’re late,” Levi said through his teeth. “I shouldn’t be rprised, but the teams have already been chosen.”
Gavin glanced around at everybody before his eyes landed on me; I could see the dark possessiveness in his eyes, and I felt my heart rate increasing by the second.
“You don’t have anyone to take on watch, so you can just leave,” Levi continued, folding his arms across his chest, showing defiance.
Ignoring him, Gavin stepped through the remaining team and walked right toward me. My eyes grew large, wondering what he was about to do. But before I could fully grasp it, he was holding onto my hand, pulling me along with him and towards the exit.
I stumbled after him, my cheeks on fire as I stared up at the man before me. His shoulders were tense, and his eyes were focused as he continued to walk, completely ignoring Levi’s protests in the background.
Once we were outside, he didn’t release my hand like I thought he would. Instead, we continued to walk towards the forest where the watch duties were taking place.
“W…what are you doing?” I finally asked, forcing the words out of my mouth.
