Chapter 595
I wanted to laugh; she can be such a flirt sometimes.
As I stepped forward, my wolf surged. I had to internally retrain her, pushing her
back.
That was strange, I thought to myself.
"Oh, there you are!" Lucy said happily, finally noticing me. "I was just introducing myself to Alpha Landry. Come over here!"
My entire body froze at her words. My eyes flickered to the man she was speaking to, and everything around me faded away.
Gavin stood in front of her, his eyes showing shock as he stared at me. His mouth opened slightly like he was about to say something, but then he closed it. My face was heated, and my heart was pounding against my chest.
His hair was messy in a way that I could tell he's been running his fingers through it; he wore a pair of dark jeans that made his ass look amazing and a button-down dress shirt which he had the sleeves rolled up halfway on his forearms, making his muscles pop.
How was it possible that he looked even better than he had a few weeks ago?
Besides how incredibly delicious he looked, he also looked exhausted. The light in his eyes that was once there was completely gone; he had dark circles beneath his eyes, revealing his sleepless nights.
I couldn't help but wonder if I was the reason for those sleepless nights... but then
I brushed that thought away. Of course I wasn't. He was marrying another woman and having her baby. There was no way he was awake at night thinking about me...noveldrama
The thought made me feel sick to my stomach.
"Judy, come here," Lucy said, rushing towards me and looping her arm through mine. She pulled me closer to Gavin, my heart pounding so heavily in my chest, I was surprised she couldn't hear it. "Have you met Alpha Landry? He's the most powerful Chairman in the world. Even more powerful than Alpha Levi."
I wasn't sure what to say; my mouth wouldn't work.
Gavin seemed to have noticed the look in my eyes, almost like I was pleading with him not to say anything.
He nodded.
"It's good to meet you, Judy," he said... speaking my name like a silent prayer, a song for only my ears.
"Judy is our newest Gamma. She just got here a couple of weeks ago, and she's already made such an impact."
"You're the one who won the competition, are you not?" He asked, acting as if he had never met me.
It was probably better that way; I
didn't want Lucy to know about my past with Gavin. I worked hard to I
keep her from finding out anything about where I came from or about who had been with. I could only imagine what she'd say if she found out that the baby I was carrying was Gavin's.
"Yes," I said, pleased that my voice didn't betray me.
"You did well. This pack is lucky to have you join their team."
I swallowed the lump in my throat; though his words sounded genuine, I could hear the hint of hostility in his tone. His eyes never left mine, and they said all that was needed to be
said.
I had left. And I didn't bother to say goodbye to him... or Matthew.
"We are very lucky indeed," Lucy said with a smile, resting her head on my shoulder. "Come on, Judy. Let's get to the meeting. Alpha Landry, it was very good to meet you."
He nodded at her, but he didn't walk away, and his eyes remained on me. I wanted to ask him what he was doing here; had he known I was here? Was he looking at me? I hoped he didn't notice me glancing at his hand as we walked past him... he wasn't wearing a ring, which meant he wasn't married. Or maybe he wasn't the type to wear a wedding ring.
What do you think?
