Gavin’s POV
I snapped.
The second she mentioned Levi’s name and started to walk away, I fucking snapped.
I grabbed her and shoved her against the tree. Now, she was pressed against it, and my body was pinning her in place. Her eyes were wildly large as she stared at me, her breathing rapid like she was trying to keep herself under control. She had fight in her; she wasn’t afraid of me even though I was the most powerful Lycan Chairmen in the world.
There was a fire in her eyes that made my cock betray me and twitch in my pants.
Her anger made me want to fuck her right here in the forest
I could hear the sounds of her rapid heartbeat, her body trembling. I wondered if it was out of anger or because of how closet was to her. I wondered if I had the same effect she was having on me right now.
I admit I had been an asshole to her today. But she needed that fire; she needed that fight to push her through this competition. Most importantly, I needed her to stay away from Levi; any time she was close to her, I couldn’t control myself. 1
The way he looked at her in the gym when I showed up was undeniable; he wanted to possess her. But there was no fucking way I would ever let that happen… Judy Montague was mine.
…Mine?
The thought slammed into me; it was like dumping cold water on my head.
She wasn’t mine. I didn’t possess her. She wasn’t my mate; she wasn’t my girlfriend. At least not technically. She was my son’s tutor… she was the woman I was fucking. We were scratching an itch and getting my family off my back, not to mention getting back at her ex. That’s all this was… convenience.
But she wasn’t mine.
I released her as if she had burned me, ignoring the growing desires bubbling in my chest from her nearness and the way her body felt pressed against mine.
Her breasts rose and fell as she breathed heavily, her exposed stomach smooth to the touch, begging me to touch her, but I stopped myself. I wasn’t going to fuck her while on watch duty. Though nothing was going to happen tonight when it came to enemy attacks because it rarely did here, I wouldn’t distract her or myself like that.
This job was important for her future, and it needed to be taken seriously.
I was acting like a teenager who couldn’t keep it in his pants. I was better than that; I was a goddamn Lycan, from crying out loud. 1
When I stepped away from her, I could see a flicker of disappointment in her eyes and the fight leaving her almost immediately, just as it left me. Her breathing began to slow and her eyes followed me as I paced back and forth, running my fingers through my hair, trying to calm myself and my wolf down.
What the hell was wrong with me?
“You are such a coward,” she whispered.
It brought my attention back to her, and when I looked at her face, I saw tears in her eyes.

I didn’t say anything; instead, I watched as she climbed the tree effortlessly and retook her position on the top branch.
She refused to look at me for the rest of the night.
Judy’s POV
By the time the sun started to rise, I was barely able to keep my eyes open. I nearly fell out of the tree seconds
we could return to the resort. I was so relieved; I hadn’t slept in over
before Gavin told me the shift was over”
24 hours, and I was beyond exhaustion.
I just wanted to curl up in bed and sleep for an entire day; thankfully, they were giving us a break for today, so I could do just that.
“We should get back. I’ll write out your report and give it to the judges,” he murmurs as he starts to walk away.
