**Chapter 0284**
**Judy’s POV**

“Oh, Judy. There you are,” Alpha Levi said as I walked towards him. I smiled, but I felt a bit awkward and flustered after my conversation with Gavin. I could feel my heart racing as I approached.

My checks were really hot, and I touched them gently, hoping they weren’t as red as they felt.

If Levi noticed, he didn’t mention it or stare at them.

“I heard you wanted to talk to me?” I asked, looking at him.

He nodded and looked down at my foot.

“How is your ankle?” he asked.

“It’s healing,” I assured him. “By tomorrow morning, it’ll be completely healed.”

“Good,” he replied.

“Make sure you ice it tonight and try to stay off of it as much as you can,” he told me. “Your table is right over there.”

He pointed to one of the tables covered with a cloth. I looked over and saw the spot he was directing me to. It was a quiet corner, perfect for what I needed.

At one of the empty seats, there was a small nameplate that said, “Judy.”

“Thank you, Alpha,” I said as I started to walk toward the table. But he stopped me.

“Actually, I wanted to introduce you to someone,” he said.

I stopped in my tracks when he called out to me. I turned to look at him and managed to put on a polite smile. All I really wanted was to sit down and get this dinner over with.

“Sure,” I said in response.

He gestured for me to follow him.

I decided to follow him. I ignored Gavin’s intense stare. I had first noticed him while I was speaking to Alpha Levi. Gavin’s dark eyes seemed to pierce right through me, and his lips were pressed tightly together. It was clear he wanted me to stop talking.

“Maybe this will be more fun than I thought,” I mused as I approached my enemy. A grin started to form on my lips, but I quickly stifled it with a cough as I walked past Gavin.

We came to a stop in front of a young man, probably no older than I was, who was talking animatedly.

He stood with his back turned to a few people. He was tall and had a nice head of black hair that was sleek and fell down to his shoulders. His hair looked so good that it made a woman want to run her fingers through it… or maybe even more.

I stood next to Alpha Levi, and to my surprise, he put his hand on the small of my back. He held onto my hip tightly. It made me a little uncomfortable, but I stayed still beside him.

”

“Theo,” Alpha Levi said, catching the man’s attention. When he turned around, I saw his forest-green eyes and a charming dimpled smile. He had a handsome face, and I could tell right away that he had no trouble attracting women.

He looked like a typical womanizer. When he saw me, his smile grew wider, and I knew he was going to be a problem for the next few weeks.

“Alpha Levi,” he said, introducing himself.

Theo looked up at the Alpha and bowed his head slightly. “What can I do for you?” he asked.

“I wanted to introduce you to Judy Montague,” Levi said. “She’s from the Redmoon pack.”

“Judy, this is Theodore,” he continued.

“Humphry,” he said, referring to a member of the Darkmoon pack… my pack.

“This is…”

“It’s an honor to meet you, Miss Judy,” Theo said. He took my hand and brought it to his lips. It felt strange to have his warmth on my skin, but there was something nice about it too.

I felt his lips on my skin, but I returned his gesture with a polite smile.

“You too,” I said to him.

I wasn’t quite sure why Levi was introducing us, but I figured I would learn more about it soon.

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

Theo beamed with pride. Was this really happening?

I managed to force another smile, feeling a mix of emotions as I listened.

tried not to show that I was bothered.

“Is that so?” I asked him.

“I had a good teacher,” he replied. “Are you here alone?”

His question caught me off guard; it was a sudden change of topic. I wasn’t expecting it.

I blinked at him, then nodded.

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

“You’re here with just a friend?” he asked.

“Yes,” I replied as I looked around.

I studied his many facial expressions and how he stood while talking to me. He was easy to read, and I wondered if he would be just as easy to read in battle. I knew I would have to fight him at some point.

I needed to look into this guy and learn about his fighting techniques.

Before I could say anything else, the food began to be served. I turned back to Theo, who was watching me with an expression that I couldn’t quite understand.

It made me feel uneasy.

“I’m going to take a seat,” I said to him, pointing at the table. “It was nice to meet you.”

I glanced at Alph Levi and gave him a slight nod before leaving.

As I walked toward my table, I noticed that everyone was already seated. There was only one empty seat, right next to mine.

I started to wonder if the person who was supposed to sit there had decided not to come to dinner. I thought maybe I should have just gone with Nan instead.

I wasn’t able to find much information about anyone. Everyone was being careful not to show their weaknesses, knowing that they would be noticed.
