Gavins POV I thought I picked up Judys scent a moment ago .

I hadnt been able to speak with her since this morning due to being so busy today , but I told Irene to text her and let her know that the tutoring session was moved to a new location , then I decided to just cancel it for the day because the film crew needed the space for their meeting , and they wanted to examine the training grounds for the movie .

I thought Leroy would have taken her home right after school , so I was surprised when I picked up her scent .

I was about to go check and see if she was here , but Chanse was talking my ear off the entire meeting , and it made it difficult to leave .

Not to mention Skyla was clinging to my arm like she had a right to touch me .

I kept shimmying my arm away from her grasp , hoping she would get the hint , but the more I resisted her , the more determined she got .

My wolf didnt particularly like her touch , and he was snarling in my head the entire time she sat beside me .

I had to block him out before he lost control and did something we would both regret .

As soon as the meeting ended , several long hours later , I was the first to leave the room .

I wanted to call Judy .

and see if she was at the villa .

But just as I reached into my pocket to grab my phone , I heard my name from behind me .

Alpha Gavin , Chanse called after me before I got too far away .

I sighed , stifling a groan , as I turned to face the director .

Yes ? I asked , trying to compose my annoyance .

I was thinking , how about you take Skyla to dinner tonight ? She could use a break and some time away from the rest of us , he told me .

I narrowed my eyes at him .

And why would I do that ? I asked him .

Look , Im worried about her .

Shes lost a lot of weight and isnt eating like she used to .

I know she cares about her body because shes a model and an icon … but I still want her to be healthy .

I wouldnt want that for my sister , Kylie , and I dont want that for Skyla .

She seems to like you , and I think it would do her some good to get out for a little while and take a break .

Im sure you can get her to eat a proper meal and take care of herself a little better .

I ran my fingers through my hair , not caring that I was messing it up .

I kind of have something I need to do- I started to say .

Please , Alpha .

I know Im asking a lot , but shes fragile and I dont want to see her hurt herself , Chanse pleaded .

She looks up to you … she always has .

Im sure you can help her .

I sighed ; I couldnt exactly say no to that , especially because I needed to live by example , being a Lycan Chairman and all .

Okay , yeah , Ill take her to dinner , I murmured .

Chanse looked pleased and smiled at my answer .

Chapter 8190 Excellent , he said , clapping his hands together .

Illet her know .

Thank you , Alpha .

He bowed respectfully before retreating to the parlor to tell Skyla the news .

I sighed and glanced at the time ; it looked like I wasnt going to be able to go to the mansion tonight .

I grabbed my phone and brought up Judys contact .

After I pushed the call button , I pressed the phone to my cheek and waited for an answer that never came I frowned and glanced at the screen , hanging up before it made me leave a message .

I decided to text her instead .

Me : Hey , sorry , I wont be able to come over tonight .

But Ill try and swing by tomorrow .

Hope you good day .

had a I reread the message , not fully satisfied with it , but it do .

I pressed send and waited a few minutes for her to reply .

She only sent me a thumbs up emoji .

I furrowed my brows .

Was she upset with me about something ? Oh , hi Daddy , Irene said as she walked down the stairs .

Is everything okay ? Yeah , I murmured , my eyes still fixed on my phone I shook the thought of Judy being mad out of my head and looked up at my daughter who was still descending the stairs .

Did you see Judy earlier today ? She frowned at my question and bit her lower lip .

Yeah , she came here , she said softly .

She wasnt feeling good , so she left .

My frown deepened ; she was fine this morning .

What happened so suddenly that she had to leave due to illness ? I thought I told you to tell her the tutoring session was canceled ? I reminded her .
