He paused and turned to look at me, hits hand still wrapped around my wrist. Not enough to hurt, but enough to make me realize he had no intentions of letting me go anytime soon.
“Watch duty he murmured. “You are coming with me.”
“I thought I was on Levi’s team,” I said, my tone coming det breathy and unfamiliar. I hated the effect he had on me, having him with me on this watch duty was probably the worst idea ever.
Especially alone….
That’s never been the plan.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I stared up at him. I wasn’t sure what to say at that moment, so I remained silent as he continued to pull me towards the forest opening.
Soon, we were engulfed by the woods; it was much darker than it had been a moment ago, and truth be told, I wasn’t entirely sure where we were going. But soon, he stopped walking, and his shoulders seemed to relax some.
He finally released my wrist, and I pulled back slightly so I could look up at him. He wasn’t looking at me; instead, he was leaning against a tree with his hands buried in his pockets and his right foot resting on the trunk of the tree.
Anger flared inside of me for both his recklessness and for standing me up.
“Are you going to pretend like you didn’t just drag me away like some kind of caveman?” I asked, folding my arms
across my chest. “What the hell was that about? What if they get the wrong idea!”
He stared at me, his eyes darkening.
“I’m only here to monitor you during your watch duty. You should probably get to work,” he murmured, looking away from me, his face shining with disinterest.
His words were like a stab in the chest.
I knew arguing with him would be pointless, so I decided to get to work on my watch duties. I had seen gammas do this before; they set themselves up high so they can get a good look at their surroundings.
The same tree Gavin was leaning against, I decided to climb to the top until I found a thick enough branch.
I remained perched on the branch, keeping my eyes out on my surroundings area, wondering where everyone else was stationed. I wasn’t really expecting anything to happen here tonight, but I was determined to make sure I nailed this job.
We remained silent for several hours, the silence stretching out and consuming us. I stared down at him continuously throughout the night, and he remained quietly against the tree.
“I went to your room, you know,” I murmured, finally breaking the silence, unable to take the obvious tension any longer.
“I know,” he replied. “Your scent was everywhere.‘
“I thought you were going to show up…” I said softly, hating the vulnerability in my voice.
“I had somewhere to be,” he murmured, not bothering to look at me.
“You could have called me-

“You shouldn’t talk during watch duties,” he said, his tone having a bite to it.

Tronidn’t take it anymore. The mixed signale, his attitude towards me… I slipped out of
on the ground in front of him, getting his face so he could see how furious I was with him.
ry are You being such a jerk!” I asked him. “Why did you drag toe away from the group only to treat me like
His nostrils flared as he stared at me, and I knew better than to provoke a Lycan, but at this moment, all rationality went out the window.
“You were the one who wanted me to go to your room, and you were the one who stood me up. I deserve to know why.”
“Get back in the tree, Judy,” he said through his teeth, his tone low and cold.
“No,” I said defiantly. “Not until you give me a reason as to why you stood me up, Gavin. I waited for you, and you failed to show up-
“Don’t test me right now,” he said, a growl coming out of his throat.
“You know what…” I said, stepping away from him. “Forget it. “I’m going to find Levi and ask to join his team.”
I turned and was about to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist and pulled me against the tree, pinning me between his body and the tree.
“You aren’t going anywhere with him,” he growled, his wolf flashing angrily. “Ever.”
