Chapter 283
Anger surged through me, and I heard the low growl of my wolf. If I didn’t get him under control, everyone would see me lose it entirely. I knew I was projecting a powerful aura and soon, the entire resort would feel it as well.
I excused myself from Levi as I walked toward Judy. My eyes glared at her, and she was oblivious to it. However, the second she saw me, shock registered on her face. I grabbed her arm before she could say a word and pulled her out of the party room and into the hallway. She stumbled over her own feet, wincing in pain and I momently felt like a jackass because I knew her ankle still hurt her despite the fact that she was no longer wearing a cast.
I pressed Judy into the wall, pinning her beneath my body. She trembled and I wasn’t sure if it was out of fear, or desire.
“You shouldn’t be here. Are you trying to make me look stupid?” I sneered. I didn’t like how I sounded. I knew I sounded like a jerk, but I couldn’t help myself.
“How does me being here affect you?” Judy bit back, giving me a shove so I’d loosen my grip on her. I had to hand it to her; I liked the fact that wasn’t afraid to stand her ground and she never held back when it came to me. She wasn’t afraid of me… it was refreshing.
“Coming to stalk me… affects me,” I said, my eyes landing on her full lips. She was nibbling on her lower lip, drawing my attention. I knew she was only doing it out of a nervous habit, but it made me want to taste her lips.
“And who said anything about stalking you?” She asked, her eyes glancing at my mouth before she met my eyes again.
“What else would you be doing here?”
“Perhaps you should pay more attention,” she replied, giving me another shove. “Now can I go back to the party room? I’m quite hungry and would like to get some food before it’s all gone.”
I wanted to argue with her that she shouldn’t be eating the meal prepared for the competitors. I could just take her to dinner myself and we can have a meal in the small city. I couldn’t explain it, but I had this strong urge to get her out of this resort and hide her away. A large part of me wanted to protect her in more ways than I could.
“You shouldn’t be walking around,” I warned her.
She was about to say something more, but then voices in the party room stopped her. They were right by the door and easy to pick up on.
“Has Judy Montague arrived yet?”
“Not yet, Alpha. I’ll let you know as soon as she does.”
“see that you do.”
I recognized the voices as Levi and his Beta. I furrowed my brows, confused by what I had heard.
“Why would Alpha Levi be speaking to you about?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her; I had her pinned against the wall again within a second.
‘How am I supposed to know?” She asked through her teeth. “It’s not your business.”
A smirk played on my lips.
“Did you come here to seduce me?” I asked her, my voice low and sultry, my breath brushing across the side of her face, making her body tremble beneath mine.
I knew she wanted to give in; she was seconds away from caving. I was good when it came to these types of games. The door to the party room started to open and I knew it was my queue to break what was happening between us. I pulled away from her in time for Beta Ron to walk into the hallway, freezing when he saw us.
“Alpha Landry,” Beta Ron nodded at me before his eyes flickered to Judy and widened. “Alpha Levi requests that you speak with him once you arrive.”
I narrowed my eyes at Ron and then glanced at Judy.
How did Levi even know she was coming here?
“Do you know what it’s about?” Judy asked as she spared me one last look and then turned to walk into the party
room.
“I’m sure it’s about your first day competing tomorrow,” I caught Ron saying as the door shut, leaving me in the hall alone, my mouth agape.
Judy was competing?
