Chapter 309

**Chapter 0309**

I was so busy getting dressed earlier that I didn’t stop to think. Maybe I shouldn’t care what I wear since I’m going to be taking it off anyway. With a smirk, I started to strip.

I took off my clothes, starting by unhooking my bra and letting it drop to the floor. Then, I stepped out of my panties and kicked them aside.

Now completely naked, I slipped under his blankets on his bed. I felt a rush of excitement as I settled in.

I felt comfortable and ready for him. I waited… and waited.

Time seemed to drag on forever. With each passing moment, I grew more nervous. I kept asking myself if this was a good idea. Maybe I shouldn’t have let myself hope for this.

Gavin walked into his room. I should have guessed he meant late tonight, not just tonight. I felt a bit foolish for not thinking of that, but I stayed put anyway.

I waited for what felt like ages… Eventually, I fell asleep. I was jolted awake by the sound of the door opening. Gavin had arrived.

I was talking to someone when he backed into the room. A wave of panic hit me when I heard another voice and sensed his strong presence. It was another Lycan Chairman. He stood at the door of Gavin’s room, and I was in his bed… naked.

Gavin’s POV

Judy wasn’t at the dinner like I thought she would be. I frowned as I glanced at the clock; it was past 7. The dinner had started half an hour ago. She should have been here by now. I looked around for Nan, but I didn’t see her either.

I wondered if they were together. I glanced at my clock again and sighed. I wasn’t hungry. I only came here because I wanted to see her. But since she wasn’t here, it felt pointless for me to stay.

I quietly slipped out of the room, thinking no one noticed. But that changed when I reached the elevators. Suddenly, I felt a firm hand on my shoulder.

I turned around and saw Mica stepping onto the elevator.

“Leaving so soon?” he asked. “You haven’t eaten yet.”

“Not hungry,” I replied, keeping my face blank as I pressed the button for my floor number.

“You left quickly after the competition earlier.”

“What did you think about the opponents?” he asked.

“I think a few of them are going to go a long way. It’s going to be tough to cut some of them,” I replied.

I nodded, even though I wasn’t completely sure why he was talking to me or why he was following my lead.

“Not all of them will survive next week,” 1 murmured. “Stick to the ones who will.”

“After Group B’s turn tomorrow, I think we should sit down with the others and the…”

“Let’s discuss it together,” Mica suggested.

The elevator doors opened, and I stepped out, with Mica following me as I walked down the hallway toward my room. I could smell Judy’s scent nearby, which told me she had been here recently.

I took my room key out of my pocket. Mica was leaning against the wall, watching me closely.

“You’ve been acting strange lately. Is it because of Levi? Is he causing you trouble again?” Mica asked.

I didn’t trust any of the others around us, but I could always count on Mica to notice when something was off.

I was sitting with the Lycan chairmen, discussing my business. Mica and I had been sort-of friends for a while. He knew all about my ongoing feud with Lev, perhaps better than anyone. But that didn’t mean I fully trusted Mica with any sensitive information.

“I’m just keeping my distance,” I told him.

“I don’t want anything from him,” I murmured as I pushed the door open. I turned around and looked at Mica. He seemed like he wanted to come into my room with me, but that was the last thing I wanted.

“Was there anything you needed?”

“Is there something you needed, Mica?”

Judy’s scent suddenly filled the air, hitting me like a freight train. I heard her take a sharp breath from my bed. It was a shocking moment—I realized Judy was in my room. I stood frozen in the doorway while Mica frowned at me, waiting for a response.

He tried to peek into my room, maybe because he heard something. But I blocked his view.

“You should get back to the dinner before they wonder where you are,” I said, narrowing my eyes at him.

He looked at me for a long time before trying to sneak another glance into my room.

“Is everything okay?” he asked, his brows knitted together in concern.

“It’s nice talking to you,” I replied quietly as I stepped back into my room.

He looked like he was about to say something, but I didn’t give him the chance. I slammed the door in his face and quickly locked it before he could even think about opening it.

I let out a breath as I leaned against the door, feeling a mix of relief and anger.

I waited for him to leave. After a minute, I heard him walking away from the door. I turned around and saw that my bed was empty, but it looked a bit messy. Someone had clearly been in it.

As I walked around the bed,

Her scent became stronger, and I felt a wild need rising within me. I bent down a little and saw her closed eyes and her bare body tucked under my bed. A grin spread across my face.
