Chapter 323
Jeremy turned towards me as if just noticing me for the first time .
I just spoke with your doctor , and they say youll be healed for the next round on Tuesday , he explained .
Congrats on being cleared .
You fought a fair game out there and Im excited to see what more you have in store .
My eyes grew large at his words ; did Jeremy confirm that made It to the next round ? Did that mean I passed ? How was that possible ? I lost this round … I ended up in the infirmary .
I dont understand .
Did I make it to next week ? I finally asked , my voice coming out a bit hoarse from dryness .
1 realized I hadnt had anything to drink since before the match ; it had to have been several hours ago .
Jeremy gave me a small smile and a curt nod .
Despite getting stabbed , your techniques , weapon use , and weapon control were superb .
You not only impressed the judges , but you also impressed the Lycans .
Congratulations .
Youll get an email with your weekend schedule by tomorrow .
Your official notice for moving onto the next round will also be sent to your email .
My heart swelled .
I actually made it !! I looked at Gavin , expecting him to be smiling , but he had a dark look in his eyes .
His jaw was clenched so tightly T feared hed break a tooth if he didnt loosen his mouth .
His Adams apple bobbed when he swallowed , his eyes never wavery as they poured into the side of Alpha Jeremys face .
I pulled my eyes away from Gavin and glanced back at Jeremy who was pretending not to notice the dark look Gavin was shooting him Thank you so much .
I wont let you down , I told him , trying to ease some of the tension building in the room .
Next week is crucial so you better be on youre A game , he warned .
I dont want to see you back here .
I have a feeling youll go far , Miss Montague .
Something about praise from a Lycan made my heart skip a beat and pride swell in my chest .
Jeremy finally glanced at Gavin and frowned .
Gavin , he said , dismissively as he turned towards the doors .
We are holding a meeting tomorrow morning in the conference room before the match .
Ill see you there .
Gavin didnt reply , he kept a passive look on his face , folding his arms across his chest .
Jeremy turned towards me and gave me a polite smile .
After he said goodbye , he left the room without another look in Gavins direction .
I suddenly couldnt take it anymore .
I was sick of his hot and cold attitude .
I was just told good news and Gavin looked like he wanted to rip someones head off their shoulders .
Whats wrong with you ? I asked after the brewing silence went on for far too long Just as Gavin opened his mouth to speak , the door swung open , and the doctor stepped into the room .
Nan , Tyler , and Sammy followed after him .
I wasnt particularly happy to see Tyler amongst the group , but I was happy to see the others , despite the fact that they interrupted my conversation with Gavin .
Chapter 323
I gave him a look that said , We arent done talking ! His eyes darkened and I felt my chest tightening I forced myself to relax and smile as Nan wrapped her arms around me , hugging me tight .
I was so worried about you , she breathed .
Im so sorry I wasnt there and that this happened .
I glanced at Tyler who stood a distance away , his eyes anywhere but me .
I knew why Nan wasnt at the arena and I didnt like it .
I didnt trust this guy .
Nan didnt belong to him ; he wasnt her mate .
Nans mate was back home right now and there was no doubt in my mind that he was hurting You are looking better than I thought youd look , Nan said , pulling way to look at me .
How are you feeling ?
