Chapter 237
I knew she had an early morning class and would most likely be in the student lounge after her class .
I arrived towards the end of that early morning class , so Id be able to catch her before I had to get to my first class of the day .
I walked into the student lounge and waited in our usual spot .
I ordered us both a coffee and had it waiting for her when she arrived After what felt like an eternity , I glanced at my watch with frown .
It was almost time for my first class of the day .
A girl 1 recognized walked by ; I knew she was in Nans early morning class because they had done homework together in the past .
Hey , Stasia , I said , stopping her in her tracks .
She froze and looked at me , her eyes wide and her cheeks flushed .
Oh , uh … hi Judy , she said , staring at the ground and avoiding my eyes .
I furrowed my brows ; it was a strange reaction that I never received from her before .
Actually , the more I noticed it , the more I realized she wasnt the only one staring at me weirdly .
I frowned as I glanced around the student lounge , almost all of them were glancing in my direction and then looking away once they saw me noticing .
They were whispering amongst one another and I realized they were all talking about me .
I was so wrapped up in my own thoughts that I hadnt noticed what was going on around me .
Could it be because of the headlines I was featured in last week ? I knew Gavin had taken down the pictures and then eventually the new story , but I guess word traveled quickly and some people were still able to see the headlines .
My heart hammered in my chest as I looked up at Stasia who suffered awkwardly in her shoes .
Did you need something ? She asked after I hadnt said anything Oh , uh … I said , swallowing the lump in my throat .
Was Nan in class today ? She shook her head .
She emailed the teacher and said she was going to be absent for a few days , Stasia explained .
My heart cracked She was taking time off school , and she hadnt told me about it .
I let out a shaky breath and nodded .
Okay , thanks , I said softly .
Stasia nodded and hurried away .
I glanced around at everyone else who quickly looked away from me .
I furrowed my brows and stood up , grabbing all my things and shoving them in my backpack .
I grabbed my coffee cup and the one I grabbed for Nan ; I walked to the trash and threw them into the bin .
Ive had enough ; I was going to Nans apartment later and finding out where exactly my best friend had gone .
I left the student lounge , not sparing anyone else another glance .
I only had a few minutes to get to my first class .
As I walked across the campus , I saw some students on the committee putting up banners and signs for the annual Gamma Competition .
I completely forgot about this competition .
Only the chosen were able to compete the competition .
The best combat trained students around the world traveled to a specific location and they competed for the Gamma Cup .
The last one standing not only wins the cup but also secures a position in the Elite Gamma force .
The Elite Gamma Force is the best of the best and they often travel around and protect not just one specific pack , but all the packs around the werewolf territory .
But they could also be chosen to protect one specific pack as well .
1/2 Chapter 237
Being a part of this Elite Force was everything and it was always a dream .
But I doubted I would ever be chosen .
Signs indicated that the Head Gammas in charge of the Elites , along with another Lycan Chairmen , were going to be arriving at the school to patiently pick some students to join the competition .
Just as I reached the door of the building I was walking into the door swung open , and out came a tall force to be reckoned , I stumbled backward taken by surprise by the man who stood before me .
He had a powerful aura and without thinking , I immediately bowed to him .
His Alpha power washed over me , making it impossible for me to look him in his eyes .
There were a couple of other men by his side as well with strong auras as well , but not nearly as strong .
They were strong and war the armor of Garnmas .
Oh , Judy … I heard a familiar voice .
I lifted my gaze to meet my combat professors startled expression .
Professor … I breathed , still unable to look at the Alpha in front of me .
We were just talking about you , he told me , giving a nervous chuckle ; he couldnt look at the Alpha and he kept his eyes on me .
I want to introduce you to Alpha Levi Churchill .
My mind nearly burst in my head .
Alpha Levi Churchill was one of the powerful Lycan Chairmen and the one going around with the Elite Gamma force to recruit students for the competition .
He was also known to be Gavins arch enemy ….
