Chapter 273

Judy’s POV

What was happening? Why was Gavin in my hotel room?

My heart raced as I tried to understand the situation. I quickly grabbed the few clothes I had left, my fingers shaking as I struggled to put them on.

I woke up feeling confused and realized I was naked. This meant something definitely happened last night. How could the night have gone so wrong?

The last thing I remembered was drinking a little too much at the banquet. I felt out of place being alone and was the only one without a date.

The only thing I could think of doing was drinking. It helped calm my nerves and kept my mind off Gavin. At least, I thought it did—until I woke up with him next to me in bed. We were both naked, but he had put on a shirt.

He quickly got dressed after getting out of bed.

As he walked around the bed, he frowned at me. It took him a moment to notice me sitting on the ground, but when he finally did, his frown deepened.

“What are you doing on the ground?” he asked, sounding tired.

“Answer my question first,” I replied, as I got dressed and tried to untangle myself from the blankets after falling out of bed.

“And what question do you want me to answer?”

“Was that you?” he asked, a small smile playing at the corners of his lips. I could tell he was trying not to laugh, which only made me angrier. I shot him a fierce glare, hoping he would take me seriously.

“Why are you in my room?” I demanded.

I asked him through clenched teeth. I grabbed the bedpost and pulled myself up to my feet, turning to face him.

His eyebrows raised slightly as his eyes darted around the room, finally settling on my face.

“Last I checked, this was my room,” I said.

“Sure,” he said, his voice playful, but I didn’t find anything funny in what he was saying. When I arrived in this country for the competition, I never expected to run into Gavin here.

Gavin was the last person I thought I would see.

It was a tradition for the Lycan wolves to attend this competition. However, since Gavin hadn’t mentioned anything about it and his rival was the one hosting this year’s event, I didn’t think he would actually show up.

“N… no…”

“I… it’s my room,” I stammered.

I was convinced this was my hotel room, the one I shared with Nan. I thought she must not have come home last night, and that worried me. I began to wonder where she might be. She had gone out to meet someone, but now I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Last night at the hotel, some people decided to hang out together instead of going to the banquet with me. I couldn’t blame her for that; banquets weren’t really her thing. She was used to serving at dinner parties, not attending them.

I tried to remember what happened last night. I realized I had forgotten my room key, so I headed to the front desk to ask for a new one.

“Which room are you in?” the receptionist asked.

“Can you tell the man at the front desk that I was staying here?” I asked.

I blinked, trying to shake off the fog in my mind, but it was hard with the pounding headache at my temple. Hangovers were the worst, and I knew today was going to be a tough one.

Thankfully, today was just a training day. However, it was also the day I would be checking out my competition. I wanted to make a good impression on them. I wanted them to see that I wasn’t someone to be taken lightly.

**+25 BONUS**

I looked up at Gavin. He was pulling a card out of his wallet and turning it to show me. The card read: Room 909.

Having to take anything seriously while nursing a hangover felt impossible.

“I’ve had this key since I checked in yesterday,” he said.

I frowned and started to search my dress for my pocket. After a moment, I felt it. I reached in and my fingers brushed against my room key. I pulled it out and looked at the front of it.

I looked at the card in my hand. It said “Room 909.”

I turned it around to show him.

“And that’s the card you’ve had since checking in?” he asked, raising his eyebrows. “Did you even check in? Or did you ask the staff for it?”

“What’s your room number?” the front desk clerk asked.

I was shocked by his question. How could he even ask that?

I refused to give him the satisfaction of an answer. Instead, I looked down at the ground and noticed my purse was missing.

I quickly picked it up off the ground, feeling a bit embarrassed about how I looked. But I was determined to show him that I could do better than just a few numbers on a key card.

I pulled my phone out of my purse and started to swipe through my apps.

I scrolled through my emails until I found one with the subject, “Hotel Room Verification.”

I clicked on it and saw all the details about my suite. They had updated my room and assigned me to a new one.

I received an email confirming the change of our room. They attached Alpha Levi to the email since he was the one paying for our stay in this country.
