Chapter 419

Judy’s POV

Over the next few days, I didn’t hear much from Gavin. Matt was away on a school trip, so I didn’t need to go to the usual hangouts. It felt strange not having him around, and I found myself missing our usual conversations. I wondered what he was up to and if he was having a good time.

As the days passed, I kept busy with my own activities, but thoughts of Gavin lingered in my mind. I hoped he would be back soon, ready to catch up on everything we missed.

I was at the Villa for tutoring, spending my time with Lukas Merryweather. I was tutoring him, and he turned out to be a really nice guy. He was funny and smart, which made our sessions enjoyable.

Lukas had been at the top of his class in his previous school, and he came here to learn even more.

Lukas was Alpha Mica’s nephew, and he lived in the same territory. I didn’t realize it at the time, but he was also at the competition. Lukas told me that I defeated him early on and made him give up. It was quite a challenge, but I managed to come out on top.

In the last few days, he spent time with Nan, Sammy, and me in the student lounge. We all found him just as funny as he thought he was, and we loved having him as part of our little group.

While we were studying,

We were training in the gym when Mica and I faced off in a competition. Mica was good, but I was better. That’s why I easily won. I couldn’t help but think about how embarrassed Mica must have felt after I took him down in front of everyone.

My nephew handled the situation with ease. The other Lycans must have given him a hard time about it.

“You should come over tonight so we can start on that project for Professor Rivers,” I told him a few days after we officially met for the first time.

He looked excited about the idea.

He nodded as he took a bite of his sandwich.

“Yeah, I can do that. Send me your address,” he said to me.

I nodded back and quickly sent him a text with my address.

Before long, Beta Taylor arrived.

I waved goodbye to Lukas and jumped into the back seat of the car. Lukas walked to his own car as Taylor drove away.

“New friend?” Taylor asked, raising his eyebrows and looking at me curiously.

I looked in the rearview mirror and saw him. I felt a bit confused.

“I’m tutoring him,” I said to clarify. “But yeah, he’s a pretty cool guy. I like spending time with him. He’s coming over tonight to work on a project.”

Beta Taylor’s eyes grew wide when I spoke. For a moment, he looked a bit uneasy.

“Does Gavin know about this?” he asked.

I frowned.

“I don’t need Gavin’s permission,” I replied firmly.

“I’m not dating him. Lukas is just my friend,” she said.

“Lukas…” Taylor let the name linger for a moment. “Merryweather?”

I nodded in response.

“Yeah, he’s Alpha Mica’s nephew,” I replied.

“I thought he looked familiar,” Taylor said, shaking his head.

He didn’t seem very happy about it, but the conversation didn’t go any further. Instead, he quietly drove us to the mansion.

Once I arrived, I quickly got out of the car, thanked Taylor, and walked inside. Taylor’s reaction when I mentioned Lukas made me a bit uneasy. I worried that spending time with Lukas might not be a good idea.

It wasn’t a good idea because of Gavin. He was another Lycan’s nephew, which meant Lukas had a bit of Lycan blood in him too.

I doubted Gavin would want him around.

Gavin hadn’t been around his mansion much these last few days, so he probably wouldn’t even notice I was there.

I quickly went upstairs and changed into something more comfortable. I wanted to be ready to start my project while I waited for Lukas to arrive.

He was supposed to arrive in about an hour.

Chester prepared some food for our study session, and I was really grateful for that.

Before long, Lukas knocked on the door, and I opened it with a smile.

When I saw him standing outside with his backpack on his shoulders and his hair a bit messy from running his fingers through it, I smiled.

“Hey,” I said as I stepped aside to let him pass.

“I didn’t know you lived in such a big place,” I continued, surprised by the size of the building behind him.

“Home,” he said, looking at the view in front of him. “You are very modest at school.”

I smiled and closed the door behind him.

“Actually,” I replied, “it’s not really my home. I’m only staying here temporarily.”

I felt a strange unease as I led him into the living room, where everything was ready.

“This place is huge,” he said, taking a deep breath. “Who does it belong to?”

“Gavin Landry,” I said as I sat down on one of the couches.

He paused for a moment, processing the name.

“Alpha Lycan Gavin Landry?” he asked, raising his eyebrows in surprise.

I nodded, taking a small bite of my snack.

I bit my lower lip, avoiding his gaze.

“Is he really letting you stay in his mansion?” he asked, looking closely at my flushed face.

“Yeah,” I replied, feeling a bit embarrassed. “Something happened with my family, and I have this stalker ex… you know, a whole mess.”

I told him, my face getting even redder.
