Chapter 300

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...

Then again, who knows what or who Chester was doing right now?

“Thank you,” I said, forcing a smile.

“The second I saw you flying through the sky I knew I had no chance in hell against you,” Tabby laughed. “Like honestly. Anyone who could do that and live to tell the tale is not one to mess with.”

“Might not be a good thing,” Tyler said with a shrug “What do you mean?” Nan asked, frowning up at him.

“Now there’s a target on her back. They are only going to try that much harder to eliminate her from the competition... or life.”

“They aren’t allowed to kill me without getting disqualified,” I reminded him.

He shook his head, a frown marring his features.

“Only for the first week. This week is to prove to them that you have what it takes. Next week is when things get real. You win from either two ways... the first way, they surrender.”

“And the second?” Nan asked, her brows pinched together.

“And the second, they die,” he finished. “It’s going to get more dangerous. You just need to be wary.

I wanted to tell him to back off; he didn’t know me or anything about this. I wanted to tell Nan to send him back to wherever he came from. But before I had the chance to utter a single word, I heard a new voice.

“I’ve been looking for you.”

I turned to see Sammy, the girl from the airport, walking my way. She had a small smile on her lips and her dark hair was tucked behind her car, showing different colored plercings all along her ear. She was shorter than everyone around her, so she looked up when she spoke to me.
