Chapter 0300
Judy’s POV
Tabby froze when she saw Gavin seated beside me against the tree. Her eyes were wide, and her cheeks were flushed. She immediately averted her eyes to the ground. Gavin jumped away from me in time, so Tabby didn’t actually see anything, but she knew she walked in on something… she just didn’t know what.
“Alpha…” she said softly, her face even redder as she spoke “I didn’t know you were over here…”
Gavin stood to his feet; his aura was intense. There was no doubt about his status. Tabby’s eyes grew wide, and her body trembled. It was difficult being around this much power up close and personal… especially when you aren’t used to it.
“I came to check on one of the recruits,” he told her, his eyes narrowed.
He was staring daggers at her; I could see the hidden threat in his eyes. I didn’t want him to frighten Tabby. She’s been so kind to me from the start and she’s tough as nails. I can tell she’ll be a fierce competitor. However, right now, in front of Gavin, she seemed like a scared pup. I felt bad… I knew Gavin was intimidating.
“We should go to the medic,” I said quickly. “Before the line gets too long. It’s first come first serve, right?”
Tabby nodded.
“There’s a ton of medics available,” she said softly, her eyes still focused on the ground in front of her. “But they are filling up fast with competitors. Everyone wants to get in and out.”
I nodded in agreement.
“Okay, then let’s go,” I said as I started to walk away and towards the treeline.
I froze for a moment when I felt Gavin’s eyes on the back of my head. I turned and gave him a polite smile with a mock bow. “Thank you for helping me, Alpha Landry,” I said, making sure to slip in a sly grin as I bowed my head again.
He stared at me for a moment, and I could tell he was trying to choose his words carefully.
“I’ll be seeing you,” he settled on.
I nodded my head once and followed Tabby out of the forest Nan was the first person I saw upon returning outside the locker rooms. She ran to me and wrapped me in her arms.
“You were badass,” Nan squealed. “I totally thought you were going to crash and burn.”
“Honestly, I did too,” I admitted.
“Nice job,” the guy, Tyler said. I hadn’t noticed him standing there until he spoke. He put a hand on Nan’s shoulder and stepped closer to her. He was taller than her with broad shoulders and I could tell he probably had nice abs. I looked at Nan questionably and she looked everywhere but at me. She also seemed tense, like his touch. bothered her.
It should bother her; she had a mate. Sure, things were rocky right now, but still…
