“I saw him flirting with you, and I guess I just went crazy,” he admitted. “I heard what he said… and I got scared.”
“Tyler, we aren’t exclusive,”
She spoke quickly, her eyes narrowed. She felt proud of how strong her voice sounded, even though all she wanted to do was cry.
He nodded, his mouth a thin line.
“I know,” he said, “but I was hoping things could change soon.”
He asked her a question. When she didn’t answer right away, he looked over at her before turning his gaze back to the road.
“I’m not really looking for anything serious right now,” she replied, biting down hard on her bottom lip.
She tasted blood. Now, she felt nervous around him and didn’t trust him.
“I know,” he said softly. “But I thought we could get to know each other and see where it goes from there. I’m sorry.”
“I’m worried I might be moving too fast,” he said. “I really like you, Nan, and I want us to spend as much time together as we can before you have to leave.”
Nan couldn’t meet his gaze. She stared out the window, lost in thought.
She thought about Chester and the pain she went through before coming to this country. She felt so depressed that she drank until she passed out. This led to alcohol poisoning, and she ended up in the hospital for some time.
Tonight, the embarrassment she felt was nothing compared to that experience.
Nan was still feeling the hurt from Chester, but Tyler was a nice distraction. With Judy busy at the tournament and sorting things out with Gavin, Nan needed something to take her mind off things.
“Maybe…” Nan began, thinking about what to say next.
“Can we try again tomorrow night?” Nan suggested after a long silence.
“Really?” Tyler asked, glancing at her with curiosity.
As the resort came into view, Nan felt a wave of relief wash over her. She truly wanted to go back.
She decided to head to her room and get some sleep. Maybe she could have a girl chat with Judy. She really needed to talk to someone who wasn’t Tyler.
“Yeah,” she said after a moment of thought, carefully considering her response before she spoke.
“Awesome,” Judy replied, excited to hear from her.
He took a deep breath and said, “Maybe we can have dinner and some dancing? I know a great place in the city. I can get us in for free.”
Nan thought about it and nodded. She loved to dance; it was a hidden talent of hers. If she had the chance, she would dance all night long.
She never dreamed of owning her own restaurant. If she had, she would have chosen to be a dancer instead.
“Sounds good,” she said, trying to sound enthusiastic.
Tyler parked the car, and Nan got out.
She took off her seatbelt and considered leaving Tyler behind in the parking lot. She thought about finding her own way back to the resort. But Tyler insisted on walking with her. He said he didn’t want her wandering around alone.
When they reached her hotel room,
Tyler leaned in and quickly kissed her on the lips. He had asked to come inside, but Nan had told him that Judy was in there, and she didn’t want to disturb her.
With a slight sigh, Tyler gave her another quick kiss before stepping back.
As soon as Nan entered the room and closed the door, she let out a deep breath. She felt a wave of tension inside her, but she didn’t quite understand why. Her heart and body seemed to be fighting against each other, creating a restless feeling that she couldn’t shake off.
Nat felt torn in two different directions. One part of her wanted to run far away from Tyler, while the other part wanted to stay close to him. To make things more complicated, her wolf was also pulling at her emotions.
As you can imagine, Nat was very confused.
When she realized that Judy was missing, her heart sank.
Nan frowned as she looked around the room. She felt disappointed, knowing that Judy was probably still with Gavin. It seemed unlikely that Judy would come back for the night.
With her thoughts weighing her down, Nan decided it was best to go to bed.
At the same time, Alpha Levi…
He sat in one of the resort’s late-night cafés, sipping his cappuccino. A book rested on his lap as he tried to focus on the pages, ignoring the new person who had just taken a seat in the empty space in front of him.
“You brought me?” the stranger asked.
Levi asked, his eyes still glued to his book. It was as if he had just inquired, “What’s the news on how the weather is?”
She wasn’t at dinner, and Alpha Gavin left early. I think they are together, which means…
“Your suspicions were right. It wasn’t just a one-night stand; they are actually sleeping together.”
Alpha Levi nodded slowly, deep in thought. His fingers tapped rhythmically on the table as he gazed at his half-finished cappuccino. He had spent a long time considering this situation, and now it was clearer than ever.
For a long time, I tried to find Gavin’s weaknesses, but he never showed any signs of having them.
If Gavin really was dating Judy Montague, that could be a weakness for him.
“Keep getting close to her,” Levi said, his eyes focused intently.
She lifted her head to face the person sitting across from her. “I want to know what makes Judy so special and why she’s quickly becoming Alpha Landry’s weakness.”
