Chapter 283

**Chapter 0283**

I felt anger rising within me, and I could hear the low growl of my wolf. If I didn’t manage to keep him under control, everyone would witness me completely losing it. I realized I was projecting a strong presence, and I needed to focus.

Soon, the whole resort would feel the change as well.

I excused myself from Levi and walked towards Judy. I glared at her, but she didn’t notice. However, the moment she saw me, shock appeared on her face.

I quickly grabbed her arm before she could say anything and pulled her out of the party room and into the hallway. She stumbled over her own feet, wincing in pain, and I felt like a jerk for a moment because I knew her ankle was still hurt.

I pressed Judy against the wall, holding her beneath my body. She trembled, and I couldn’t tell if it was from fear or something else.

“You shouldn’t be here,” I said.

“Are you trying to make me look stupid?” I said with a sneer. I didn’t like how I sounded. I knew I came off as a jerk, but I couldn’t help it.

“How does me being here affect you?” Judy shot back.

I felt a gentle shove, and it made me loosen my grip on her. I had to admit, she was impressive. I admired her courage; she stood her ground and never hesitated when it came to me. She wasn’t afraid of me at all…

“Coming to stalk me… affects me,” I said, my gaze fixed on her full lips. She was nibbling on her lower lip, which caught my attention. I knew she was just doing it out of a nervous habit.

I couldn’t help but want to taste her lips.

“And who said anything about stalking you?” she asked. Her eyes flicked to my mouth and then back to my eyes.

“What else would you be doing here?” she continued.

“Maybe you should pay more attention,” she said, giving me another shove. “Can I go back to the party room now? I’m really hungry and I want to grab some food before it’s all gone.”

I wanted to argue, but I could feel my stomach growling.

I wanted to tell her that she shouldn’t eat the meal made for the competitors. Instead, I thought it would be better to take her out to dinner myself. We could enjoy a nice meal together in the small city. I couldn’t quite explain it, but I felt a strong urge to share this special time with her.

I needed to get her out of this resort and hide her away. Many people wanted to protect her, and I felt like I could do more to help.

“You shouldn’t be walking around,” I warned her.

She was about to respond, but then we heard voices nearby.

In the party room, someone stopped her right by the door, making it easy to notice.

“Has Judy Montague arrived yet?” they asked.

“Not yet, Alpha,” she replied. “I’ll let you know as soon as she gets here.”

I recognized the voices of Levi and his Beta. I furrowed my brows, confused by what I had just heard.

“Why would Alpha Levi be talking to you about that?” I asked.

I narrowed my eyes at her, pinning her against the wall once again in just a second.

“How am I supposed to know?” she asked through gritted teeth. “It’s not your business.”

A smirk appeared on my lips.

“Did you come here to seduce me?” I asked her, my voice low and inviting. My breath brushed against her cheek, making her body tremble beneath mine.

I could tell she wanted to give in; she was just moments away from surrendering to the tension between us.

away from the game, feeling confident. He was good at these kinds of challenges.

“Theo is one of my top students,” Levi said. “He’s going to be a tough one to beat.”

Theo smiled, knowing he had worked hard to earn that praise.

He felt proud of himself. Was this some kind of trick?

I forced another smile, trying not to seem bothered.

“Is that so?” I asked him.

“I had a good teacher,” he replied. “Are you…

“Are you here alone?”

The sudden question caught me off guard. I blinked at him, surprised by the change in topic, but then I nodded.

“Uh, yeah. My friend went somewhere else for dinner,” I replied.

“You are here with…”

“Just a friend?” he asked.

“Yes,” I replied, watching him closely. I observed his many facial expressions and his posture as he spoke to me. He was easy to read, and I couldn’t help but wonder if he felt the same way.

I knew I would have to fight my friend at some point. I needed to learn more about him and his fighting style. So, I decided to do some research.

Before I could say anything else, the food began to arrive.

I turned back to Theo, who was watching me with a look I couldn’t quite understand. It made me feel uneasy.

“I’m going to take a seat,” I said, pointing to the table. “It feels like a good time to sit down.”

“It was nice to meet you,” I said.

I looked at Alph Levi and nodded my head slightly before leaving. I walked toward my table. Everyone was already seated at their tables, except for one empty seat. It was right next to…

I wondered if they had decided not to come to dinner. Maybe I should have just gone with Nan instead. I wasn’t really learning much about anyone at the gathering. Everyone seemed careful to hide their weaknesses, knowing that it was important to appear strong.
