I hadnt been able to speak with her since this morning due to being so busy today , but I told Irene to text her and let her know that the tutoring session was moved to a new location , then I decided to just cancel it for the day because the film crew needed the space for their meeting , and they wanted to examine the training grounds for the movie .<\/p>\n
I thought Leroy would have taken her home right after school , so I was surprised when I picked up her scent .<\/p>\n
I was about to go check and see if she was here , but Chanse was talking my ear off the entire meeting , and it made it difficult to leave .<\/p>\n
Not to mention Skyla was clinging to my arm like she had a right to touch me .<\/p>\n
I kept shimmying my arm away from her grasp , hoping she would get the hint , but the more I resisted her , the more determined she got .<\/p>\n
My wolf didnt particularly like her touch , and he was snarling in my head the entire time she sat beside me .<\/p>\n
I had to block him out before he lost control and did something we would both regret .<\/p>\n
As soon as the meeting ended , several long hours later , I was the first to leave the room .<\/p>\n
I wanted to call Judy .<\/p>\n
and see if she was at the villa .<\/p>\n
But just as I reached into my pocket to grab my phone , I heard my name from behind me .<\/p>\n
Alpha Gavin , Chanse called after me before I got too far away .<\/p>\n
I sighed , stifling a groan , as I turned to face the director .<\/p>\n
Yes ? I asked , trying to compose my annoyance .<\/p>\n
I was thinking , how about you take Skyla to dinner tonight ? She could use a break and some time away from the rest of us , he told me .<\/p>\n
I narrowed my eyes at him .<\/p>\n
And why would I do that ? I asked him .<\/p>\n
Look , Im worried about her .<\/p>\n
Shes lost a lot of weight and isnt eating like she used to .<\/p>\n
I know she cares about her body because shes a model and an icon \u2026 but I still want her to be healthy .<\/p>\n
I wouldnt want that for my sister , Kylie , and I dont want that for Skyla .<\/p>\n
She seems to like you , and I think it would do her some good to get out for a little while and take a break .<\/p>\n
Im sure you can get her to eat a proper meal and take care of herself a little better .<\/p>\n
I ran my fingers through my hair , not caring that I was messing it up .<\/p>\n
I kind of have something I need to do- I started to say .<\/p>\n
Please , Alpha .<\/p>\n
I know Im asking a lot , but shes fragile and I dont want to see her hurt herself , Chanse pleaded .<\/p>\n
She looks up to you \u2026 she always has .<\/p>\n
Im sure you can help her .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I sighed ; I couldnt exactly say no to that , especially because I needed to live by example , being a Lycan Chairman and all .<\/p>\n
Okay , yeah , Ill take her to dinner , I murmured .<\/p>\n
Chanse looked pleased and smiled at my answer .<\/p>\n
Chapter 8190 Excellent , he said , clapping his hands together .<\/p>\n
Illet her know .<\/p>\n
Thank you , Alpha .<\/p>\n
He bowed respectfully before retreating to the parlor to tell Skyla the news .<\/p>\n
I sighed and glanced at the time ; it looked like I wasnt going to be able to go to the mansion tonight .<\/p>\n
I grabbed my phone and brought up Judys contact .<\/p>\n
After I pushed the call button , I pressed the phone to my cheek and waited for an answer that never came I frowned and glanced at the screen , hanging up before it made me leave a message .<\/p>\n
I decided to text her instead .<\/p>\n
Me : Hey , sorry , I wont be able to come over tonight .<\/p>\n
But Ill try and swing by tomorrow .<\/p>\n
Hope you good day .<\/p>\n
had a I reread the message , not fully satisfied with it , but it do .<\/p>\n
I pressed send and waited a few minutes for her to reply .<\/p>\n
She only sent me a thumbs up emoji .<\/p>\n
I furrowed my brows .<\/p>\n
Was she upset with me about something ? Oh , hi Daddy , Irene said as she walked down the stairs .<\/p>\n
Is everything okay ? Yeah , I murmured , my eyes still fixed on my phone I shook the thought of Judy being mad out of my head and looked up at my daughter who was still descending the stairs .<\/p>\n
Did you see Judy earlier today ? She frowned at my question and bit her lower lip .<\/p>\n
Yeah , she came here , she said softly .<\/p>\n
She wasnt feeling good , so she left .<\/p>\n
My frown deepened ; she was fine this morning .<\/p>\n
What happened so suddenly that she had to leave due to illness ? I thought I to<\/p>\n
