Chapter 300
Judys 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 didnt actually see anything , but she knew she walked in on something … she just didnt know what .
Alpha … she said softly , her face even redder as she spoke I didnt know you were over here … Gavin stood to his feet ; his aura was intense .
There was no doubt about his status .
Tabbys eyes grew wide , and her body trembled .
It was difficult being around this much power up close and personal … especially when you arent 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 didnt want him to frighten Tabby .
Shes been so kind to me from the start and shes tough as nails .
I can tell shell 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 .
Its first come first serve , right ? Tabby nodded .
Theres 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 lets go , I said as I started to walk away and towards the treeline .
I froze for a moment when I felt Gavins 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 .
Ill 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 hadnt noticed him standing there until he spoke .
He put a hand on Nans 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 .
1/2 Chapter 300
Yeah , and now everyone else is going to see that too , Nan said proudly .
You marked your territory .
Own it , girl ! Might not be a good thing , Tyler said with a shrug What do you mean ? Nan asked , frowning up at him .
Now theres a target on her back .
They are only going to try that much harder to eliminate her from the competition … or life .
They arent 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 .
Its going to get more dangerous .
You just need to be wary .
I wanted to tell him to back off ; he didnt 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 .
Ive 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 .
