Chapter 346
**Chapter 0346**
**Gavin’s POV**
“Alpha Gavin…?” I heard a voice call out from behind me as I was walking to the arena.
I stopped in my tracks when I recognized the voice. It was Megan, a woman I had once had a fling with.
Megan walked towards me. She was tall and slender, with long blonde hair and bright blue eyes. She always dressed elegantly, which made sense because her father was very wealthy; he owned this resort. Most of her work was as a model.
I traveled a lot for business, especially in this region. In the past, I stayed at this resort, which is where I met her.
The last time I was here was over five years ago, and I broke…
It all started with her before I left.
Her eyes locked onto mine as she walked towards me. She tucked a long strand of her blonde hair behind her ear. Her lips, naturally plump and rosy, formed a thin line, showing a hint of tension.
“When I heard you…
“I had to come see for myself,” she said, folding her arms across her chest.
“I’ve been here for over a week,” I replied, raising my brows. I was surprised she was just now arriving.
I just heard about your arrival!
“I just got back from a work trip myself,” she said as she walked with me toward the arena. “When I learned the competition had started, I rushed back early. I knew you’d be here.”
I nodded, my eyes focused on the crowd rushing in to greet the winners. News had spread quickly that a team was already on their way back. They still had several hours before the competition ended.
Megan stopped me before I could walk through the crowded arched doorway.
“Do you think we can talk for a minute?” she asked, holding onto my arm.
Her request caught me off guard, but I could see that this was important to her. I nodded, curious about what she wanted to say.
I looked at Megan as she held onto my arm. My eyes narrowed as I spoke.
“There’s not much for us to say to each other, Megan,” I told her, gently pulling my arm away from her grip.
“We ended things several years ago,” she said.
Her cheeks turned red, and she bit her lower lip nervously.
“You might not have anything to say, but I have plenty to say,” she murmured. “Things have changed since then…”
“I’ve been wanting to say this since you broke up with me,” she said.
Broke up? It was just a fling, and she knew that.
Ignoring her words, I turned and walked into the arena. I found my seat among the other Lycans. There was no reason to dwell on the past.
I was trying to manage the mess I was in.
Mica was the first to acknowledge me with a nod. Then Jeremy waved at me with a quick gesture. As always, Levi seemed lost in his own world, chatting with his Beta about something private.
They were both deep in conversation, completely ignoring everyone else around them.
I still couldn’t stand being in the same place as that jerk. He had been trying to take my business for years because it was the most successful in the world.
Unfortunately for him,
My business is concrete, and all his attempts to take over have been stopped.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I tensed up, already knowing who it was.
“Please, let’s just talk,” they said.
“Megan,” she whispered.
Before I could respond, maybe even tell her to go away, cheers erupted around me. I knew what it meant; a team had returned. Just as they walked in, highlights began to play on the big screen.
I didn’t realize I was holding my breath until I saw the winning team on the screen. It was the blue team. That was Judy’s team!
Before long, the teammates were being shown one by one, and I spotted Judy’s smiling face on the big screen.
The team was walking into the arena when Judy suddenly fell to her knees, exhausted. My heart sank, and I had to fight the urge to rush over to her and check if she was okay. She had a bandage wrapped around her arm, a reminder of the tough battle we had just faced.
I realized that the injury was probably from the bear she fought yesterday. I wanted to check under the bandage to see if it was healing well. But then, I scolded myself for wanting to look.
