Chapter 518
He must have been talking about Rachel coming back into the picture; now he’s seeing his father being all smitten with this other woman and he’s realizing there wasn’t anything here between me and Gavin.
The thought made me feel sick to my stomach.
“We need to get revenge. There’s no way we are going to let him get away with treating you like that,” Nan said, definitely, making Chester snort.
“Woah there, firecracker,” he teased, the corner of his eyes crinkling as he looked at his mate. “How exactly do you plan on getting revenge on a Lycan? Not to mention what’s his crime besides falling in love with another woman? He and Judy weren’t exclusive, right?”
Nan was red in the face as she stared at Chester; her lips pressed in a thin line, and her arms folded across her chest.
“That’s not the point,” she muttered.
“As much as I love this conversation, I really need to lie down,” I told them, stopping their bickering. “I have a headache and I’m exhausted. It really is late…”
“At least let us walk you inside,” Nan said, softening her voice as if realizing she was being too loud.
I shake my head.
“I’ll be fine,” I tell her as I give her a brief hug. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”
Without another word, I went to the door, unlocked it, and slipped inside. The second I was alone, my resolve faded, and the tears finally started to fall freely. I managed to get to my room undetected and slip under the covers without bothering to change my clothes.
My body was wracked with sobs as I let myself cry; I was grieving the relationship that I thought I could have… the one I was stupid enough to fantasize about for even a second.
I realized at that moment, my wolf had been so quiet…
It’s been weeks since I last saw Gavin or spoke to him. I hadn’t been back to the villa since I met Rachel, and Matt has been coming to my family home for his tutoring sessions. I had barely even seen Irene these last few weeks. She needed me a couple more times for the baby, but other than that, j hadn’t been by the mansion.
Nan pretty much lives at the mansion with Chester and keeps me updated on Irene and Emalyn, which is nice, but it also brings back painful memories of my time with Gavin.
With finals approaching quickly, I
worry that won’t do as well as I
want. My mind has been so clouded
ofe
that studying as taken a backburner. But this week was crucial, so partook in many of the campus cram sessions with Nan.
With my relationship with Gavin dwindling, Lukas finally decided to talk to me
again, so we’d study a lot after school hours.
I found it strange that Beta Taylor
still bothered to pick me up and bring me home every day after school. He never explained why he did it, and after a while, I stopped asking. He was acting strange, and I wondered if his mate, Eliza, had put him up to it because she heard about Rache’s return and was worried about me. Or maybe it was Taylor who was worried about me because he was the only other person who knew about my
relationship with Gavin from the beginning.
Regardless, it felt as if these rides were out of pity.
“Tomorrow is the last day we can spend studying before the finals start,” Lukas reminded me as he packed up his stuff in the library. “So, I’ll see you in our usual spot, right?”
I nodded.
“I won’t miss it,” I assure him.
He smiles, showing off his two dimples on each cheek, a very boyish feature that most likely gets him laid often.
I could definitely see the
resemblance between him and Alpha Mica. They had the same shaggy brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Lukas was he kind of guy that I should have fallen in love with… not someone like Ethan… or Gavin…
As I was leaving the library, my phone started to ring. I frowned at the unknown caller that flashed across the screen.
“Hello?” I said into the phone as I started my way to the parking lot where I’m sure Beta Taylor was already waiting for me.
“Hello, is this Judy Montague?” I heard a deep voice ask on the other end of the line.
“Speaking.”
“I hope this isn’t a bad time to call, Judy. This is Alpha Levi Churchill.”
My heart stopped.
Why was Gavin’s enemy calling me??
