Judy’s POV
I barely had time to register what was happening when we walked into The Grove. The familiar delicious scents of the food that I have come to love invaded my nose and made my stomach rumble even more than it was on our drive into the city. The hostess gave Gavin a polite smile and a bow of her head as she led us through the busy restaurant, many who had recognized him were gawking, not believing that the pristine Lycan Chairmen, Gavin Landry, was actually dining at The Grove.
This was not the typical restaurant that he would be dining in; he should be in a fine dining establishment, owned by him or his people. But instead, he was in a small establishment, owned by someone else, eating food that could be classified as greasy, though delicious.
It was almost laughable, but now the casual clothing made sense. He was never planning on taking me anywhere fancy and a part of me wondered why.
Was I not good enogu hfor a 5 star resteraunt? Was he ashamed to be seen with a low-class girl in front of his fancy and rich friends? Or maybe it was something else.
I swallowed another lump in my throat as we walked through the crowded establishment and towards a private booth. There were candles on the table, which wasn’t something they did for everyone and there was a reserved placemat on the table, indicating that this table was reserved for a pristine guest.
“I hope everything is to your liking, Alpha,” the waitress said. “The waiter, Marcus, will be with you in a moment and if there’s anything I can do for you, just let me know. My name is Carly and I’m happy to be at your service.”
She bowed to him again, giving him a polite smile before lifting her gaze.
He nodded, dismissing her as he motioned for me to sit at the booth. I slid into the booth, tucking my purse beside me. Gavin slid beside me; it was a round booth, so it wasn’t strange for him to sit beside me.
Carly handed us our menus and poured a couple of glasses of water before retreating.
“This is unexpected,” I said, glancing down at the menu. I get the same thing every time I come here, so I wasn’t sure why I was glancing at the menu. But I felt a bit awkward and nervous in his presence, especially in a place that didn’t really suit him.
He looked at the menu, his expression was hard to read.
“I wanted to try something new,” he murmured, his eyes never leaving the pages of the menu.
“Why The Grove?” I found myself asking. “It doesn’t suit you.”

Next chapter please. I would love to see how this story ends....
Next Chapter please dear Author...Thank you .. I hope you are doing well so you can update the story....
Next chapter please...
Gavin may be the strongest alpha but he’s missing a few marbles lmao...
I get wanting to keep up appearances and make business partners happy, but Gavin needs to set boundaries with Rachel, and should have politely corrected her Luna remark, even if it’s “perhaps one day she will be Luna, but we just reunited after she faked her death, so I’d like to get to know this probably spy first.” And now that Gavin’s been drugged, is she going to get him to try to mark her? Or is she going to try to get pregnant with his baby so he’s guilted into marrying her for the baby? Ugh. So ready for things to look up for Judy and for Gavin to be kicked to the curb....
Now he needs Judy Knowing Rachel is a spy u are trusting her to stay in your house, allow her handle pack issues and even bring her to your business meeting, leaveq your drink to answer calls and now you expect Judy to come to your rescue after disappointing her...
This is getting so frustrating, I definitely think Judy should leave, I want to see her hook up with Lukas Merriweather and go to Micah’s pack, I feel there is no redemption arc for him now, also why hasn’t Irene said anything?! Like Nan and Chester told her so why hasn’t she said something. I feel Judy does need to stop getting lifts with Taylor, I also hate how Gavin is using Taylor to keep and eye and report. I hope she makes Gavin worry etc and tells him to do one. Honestly why would he play house and let a spy get involved. But I also noted that when Judy mentioned Rachel’s perfume…could it be a potion or something? Gavin is stupid he keeps saying how his wolf misses judy...
Yes, I've put too much thought into this, but here goes... Levi: Chapter 496 “My second plan was to get Judy out of his pack and make her switch allegiance. She had become Gavin’s weakness; removing her from Gavin’s life will leave an opening for an attack on his business.” Lila (Rache), Chapter 496: Here. Hold my beer. “Give me some time, and I’ll have her packing her bags in no time. Rachel, Chapter 510: “Because I’ve been lying to you for years. I never died in that crash, and I’m not who you thought I was. I was never a nurse…I was an undercover agent. I was sent to Silver Crescent as a spy.” Gavin, Chapter 520: “I had consumed all my time lately with Rachel, trying to regain the friendship that I had lost over the years.” You mean the friendship with the SPY??! Gavin, Chapter 357: “I was the most powerful Lycan Chairman in the world.” Judy, Chapter 359: “He was a Lycan Chairman and the most powerful man in the entire world. Gavin, Chapter 346: “He had been after my business for years because it’s the most successful in the world. Unfortunately for him, my business is concrete, and all his attempts at a takeover have been prevented.” A FEW MOMENTS LATER… Gavin, chapter 520: “She’s (Rachel) been living in the guest bedroom, and we’ve pretty much been playing house. We have dinner together and talk about our days (you mean when she was a SPY???) She’s been helping out with pack matters.” Gavin, chapter 520: “The look on her face when she first met Rachel and the pain in her eyes was something I couldn’t unsee. I never meant to hurt her; I didn’t want to keep things from her, but I wasn’t sure how to tell her any of this.” (SUCH A BIG, BAD LYCAN) Judy, chapter 357: (to Gavin) “You are such a coward.” BINGO!!! PREDICTION: Dean Griffin: “I wanted to personally congratulate you. You are graduating top of your class…One last thing… If I find out that Gavin Landry is the reason you are so successful, you won’t like the consequence.” Chapter 519, Judy: “I’d still like to finish college before I join any forces.” Levi: “Of course. From my understanding, you’re graduating in a couple of weeks. Take this time to think it over and make a decision.” Judy, Chapters 519-520: “My phone started to ring. I frowned at yet another unknown number. I mentally prepared myself for what this phone call was about to entail. Nothing could have prepared me for it. “ Actually, Chapter 519 could have prepared you. Judy will lose her status as the top of her class and possibly not graduate because the Dean is in cahoots with Levi. This will force her to accept Levi’s offer....
Gavin is a jerk! There’s no way he’s an Alpha and he behaves the way he does. Rachel is going to take him through the ringer… The only thing that may wake him up is that he’s going to find out from Alpha Mica (by way of Lukas) about Levi’s offer to Judy. That MAY wake him....
Rachel is obviously Levi's mistress. I think Judy's mark is already gone. The reason she passed out in the forest is because Ethen marked Sammy and the pain/release was intense. I can't read anymore. I thought after I got to 520 chapters I would have some satisfaction....
