Chapter 582
Gavin’s POV
It’s been 2 weeks.
2 weeks since Judy left.
2 weeks since I lost my chance with her.
2 weeks since I let her slip through my fingers.
I had been searching all the parklands for any signs of Judy, but as far as I knew, she wasn’t in this region anymore. I had no jurisdiction in other Lycan territory, so I couldn’t just send my men to them and search their lands. As far as I knew, she hadn’t even been in contact with her family. I’ve been monitoring Irene’s phone, despite her protests. But there’s been no contact made.
What infuriated me even more was the fact that she had the nerve to leave without saying a word to me or Matthew. I clenched my fists at the thought of it. My wolf was wallowing in pain, missing her more with each passing day.
The first week that Judy left, I drank myself into a stupor. I was unable to function as an Alpha, and Taylor had to pick up a lot of the slack. I was grateful to him for that. Now I was back in the office, and I couldn’t think about anything other than Judy. I couldn’t stop thinking about her eyes, her smile, her scent… I was craving her touch. I just needed her back in my arms.
My head was pounding as I went through the reports on my computer. Though I was looking at them, I couldn’t comprehend a single thing that they said.
There was a knock on my office door before Taylor walked in; I don’t know why he bothers knocking if he’s not going to wait for me to give him permission to enter. I rolled my eyes as he closed the door behind him.
“There’s a problem,” Taylor said, turning to look at me. “There’s been an attack in the Redcliff pack.”
“When did the Redcliff pack become my problem?” I asked, annoyed by the interruption.
“Since you agreed to go there to investigate the situation with some of your best Gamma warriors,” Taylor said, raising his brows. “You do remember your promise to them, right?”
I rolled my eyes at the memory.
Technically, Redcliff was Levi’s territory, and I wouldn’t go there unless it benefited me… or unless it was necessary. But the problems they were having with the rogues worried me. If we didn’t nip it in the butt soon, it could end up being an issue here as well. We have some of the best trackers in the world and could pinpoint the exact location of the rogue hideout, which is what they are desperately searching for. Levi granted us permission to enter and patrol his territory.
“I’m not scheduled to go there for a few more days,” I told Taylor.
“Well, they are requesting you now,” Taylor said. “There was an explosion. It was bad.”
“An explosion? The rogues are using explosives?”
Taylor nodded.
“Yeah, and if we don’t nip it in the butt now, it could end up becoming a problem here too. You know how it works,” Taylor reminded me.
I groaned, knowing he was right.
“Okay. Book a flight. We will leave tonight and be there by tomorrow,” I murmured. Taylor nodded as he turned to leave.
“Oh, and by the way… they just hired a new Gamma warrior. Not sure who it is… but I heard they are a badass.”
I raised my brows, my eyes meeting Taylor’s. The knowing glint in his eyes told me everything that I suspected.
“You’re saying…” I started but then stopped; couldn’t get my hopes up. It would only leave me gutted if it turned out not to be true. I sighed and leaned back in my seat.’ll be there.”
Taylor smirked but said nothing as he left my office.
By the next morning, we were landing at the Redcliff airport. We took a private plane and were greeted by a tall and lanky-looking man with shaggy brown hair and almost a boyish quality about him. He wore Gamma armor and had weapons attached to his hip; this was a pack that had an Elite Force; he had the Elite Force badge on his chest that read: Spencer.
“Alpha Landry, it’s an honor to finally meet you,” he said, bowing his head. “My
name is Spencer. I’m here to escort you to the packhouse.”
I nodded as he hurried to grab my and Taylor’s luggage. I asked Taylor to come with me to Levi’s territory in case anything happened. Derek and some of the other Gammas are on their way as well in their own private plane. They had a lot of gear and equipment they needed to bring, and because of the weight limit of the private planes, it was better if they
took a separate plane.
