Chapter 421
Judy’s POV

As I walked Lukas to the living room door, he paused for a moment before we entered the front foyer.

“Thank you again for helping me out, Judy,” he said, looking at me with genuine gratitude.

“I know it’s hard moving to a different school, and you’ve made it a lot easier for me. I’m really glad we can be friends,” he said.

I nodded and smiled at him.

“Yeah, me too,” I replied.

“I’ll say goodbye here and show myself out,” he told me, giving me a quick hug. “Oh, by the way… do you think I can get Sammy’s phone number? She’s super cute.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

I hugged him tightly.

“I’ll see what I can do,” I said to him.

Just as he was about to pull away, the door suddenly swung open, startling us both and almost making us fall over.

I noticed the fire in his eyes.

The power that surrounded him was enough to kill a thousand men. His Alpha and Lycan aura worked in harmony, rolling off him in waves that sent shivers down my spine. Lukas had gone completely pale. I was surprised because his uncle was also a Lycan; I thought he would be more prepared for this.

Lukas was probably used to his Lycan powers by now. After all, he came from a Lycan bloodline. However, Gavin was known to be the most powerful among them, so I shouldn’t have been surprised that Lukas felt his strength even more intensely.

“I don’t remember giving Merryweather permission to stay in my pack,” Gavin said through clenched teeth. His eyes flashed with anger as he glared at Lukas.

“He goes to my school,” I quickly explained.

“We were studying and—”

“Is that what you were doing?” Gavin interrupted, his eyes fixed on Lukas. “It didn’t look like much studying was getting done.”

“I was just leaving,” Lukas replied, trying to defend himself.

“Yes, you were,” Gavin firmly replied. “And I’ll be talking to your uncle about your lack of common sense. You should be asking my advice instead.”

Gavin’s voice sounded squeakier than usual since he had arrived.

“Permission is required if you want to enter not only my pack but also my mansion,” I said firmly.

Luka’s eyes widened as he looked at me.

“I didn’t know this was the Alpha’s mansion,” he replied, surprised.

I crossed my arms, feeling a mix of authority and pride.

She crossed her arms and glared at Gavin. He was being a complete jerk for no reason at all. He had no right to be jealous of her, and he didn’t even really live there. Sure, it was his mansion, but his main home was at his villa on the other side of town.

Lukas stood there, unsure of himself. I looked at him and said, “You aren’t in the wrong, Lukas.” My gaze was fixed on Gavin, watching his reaction closely.

“I live here, and you are my guest,” I added, trying to reassure him.

“This is…”

“my home,” Gavin shot back, a sharp tone in his voice. “You need to ask my permission before you step foot in here again, understood?”

“Yes, Alpha. I apologize. If I had known this was your home, I wouldn’t have come in without asking.”

Gavin narrowed his eyes and asked, “Why are you in my region and not with Mica?”

“I already told you,” I replied, feeling frustrated and annoyed. “He goes to my school.”

**Chapter 421**

“I want to hear it from him,” Lukas said, his voice shaking. He looked clearly frightened of Gavin.

“I attend the Shifter Academy,” Lukas continued. “It’s the top school in the world. I just transferred a few days ago, and…”

Judy was assigned to be my tutor for the next few weeks, Lukas explained.

“It’s a job,” I added. “His family is paying me.”

“I didn’t approve of you getting another job,” Judy said.

Gavin looked at me, his eyes filled with inner struggle. I could see the conflict swirling inside him.

I was shocked by his bold words.

“I’m sorry,” he said. “I didn’t think I needed to ask her permission. Good lord.”

“I’m sure Lukas has never heard anyone talk to a Lycan like this before,” I said with a sarcastic tone, making him take a sharp breath. My relationship with Gavin was complicated.

“Did you not read the contract I had you sign?” I asked.

“Are you talking about the 500-page book? I must have missed it,” I said, rolling my eyes. “Are we done here? Lukas needs to get going. It’s late, and you’re holding him up from traveling home.”

“Where are you staying?” Gavin asked.

“I got a dorm at the academy,” Lukas replied, shuffling awkwardly in his shoes.

“The Academy is a public space, as mentioned in the school handbook that everyone signed,” he added.

“I reminded him, ‘He’s not breaking any rules. I didn’t tell him that this was your property, and for that, I apologize. But you have no right to be upset with him over this. If…”

“If you’re going to be upset with anyone, it should be me,” she said.
