Judy\u2019s POV<\/p>\n
Over the course of the next couple of days, I hadn\u2019t heard much of Gavin. Matt had been away on a school trip, so I didn\u2019t need to go to the Villa for tutoring. I preoccupied my time with Lukas Merryweather and tutoring him. He was actually a pretty nice guy. He was really funny and intelligent.<\/p>\n
He was top of his class in his old school and came here for more of a challenge. He was Alpha Mica\u2019s nephew and lived in his territory; I didn\u2019t notice at the time, but Lukas was also at the competition, and he said that I kicked his ass pretty early on and made him give up.<\/p>\n
The last couple of days, he had been hanging out with Nan, Sammy, and me in the student lounge. They found him just as funny as well and we enjoyed having him be a part of our little group.<\/p>\n
When we were studying, we were training in the gym. He was good, but not as good as me and it was no wonder I was able to beat him easily in the competition. I couldn\u2019t even imagine how embarrassed Mica must have been when I took down his nephew with ease. The other Lycans must have given him hell for that.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou should come over tonight so we can start on that project for Professor Rivers,\u201d I told him a few days after we officially met for the first time.<\/p>\n
He nodded as he took a bite of his sandwich.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I can do that. Send me your address,\u201d he told me.<\/p>\n
I nodded and sent him a quick text with my address.<\/p>\n
Soon, Beta Taylor pulled up to come and get me. I waved goodbye to Lukas and hopped into the back seat of the car. Lukas walked to his own car as Taylor drove off.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew friend?\u201d Taylor asked, raising his brows as he stared at me through the rearview mirror.<\/p>\n
I glanced at him, confused.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m tutoring him,\u201d I explained. \u201cBut yeah, he\u2019s a pretty cool guy. I enjoy spending time with him. He\u2019s coming over tonight to work on a project.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beta Taylor\u2019s eyes widened at my words and for a moment, he looked kind of uneasy.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoes Gavin know about this?\u201d<\/p>\n
My brows knitted together.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t need Gavin\u2019s permission,\u201d I told him bluntly. \u201cHe\u2019s not my boyfriend and also, Lukas is just my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLukas\u2026\u201d Taylor let the name rest on his tongue for a moment. \u201cMerryweather?\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, he\u2019s Alpha Mica\u2019s nephew,\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought he looked familiar,\u201d Taylor said, shaking his head.<\/p>\n
He didn\u2019t look particularly pleased, but the conversation didn\u2019t continue as he silently drove me to the mansion.<\/p>\n
Once there, I quickly got out of the car, thanked Taylor, and headed inside. The way Taylor was in the car when I spoke about Lukas, made me a bit uneasy. I was worried that maybe hanging out with him wasn\u2019t a good idea because of Gavin. I mean, he was another Lycan\u2019s nephew after all\u2026 which meant that Lukas also had a bit of Lycan blood in him.<\/p>\n
I doubted Gavin would want him in his mansion, but Gavin hadn\u2019t really been around these last few days so he probably wouldn\u2019t even notice that he was here.<\/p>\n
I immediately went upstairs and put on something more comfortable so I could<\/p>\n
start this project as I waited for Lukas to arrive. He was due to be here in the next hour or so.<\/p>\n
Chester made some food for our study session, which I was beyond grateful for.<\/p>\n
Not before long, Lukas was<\/p>\n
knocking on the door and I was<\/p>\n
opening it smiled when I saw him standing outside with his backpack slungover his shoulders and his hair a bit disheveled from running his fingers through it.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey,\u201d I said, stepping aside.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t realize you lived in such a huge home,\u201d he said, admiring the sight before<\/p>\n
him. \u201cYou are very modest at school.\u201dnoveldrama<\/p>\n
I smiled and shut the door behind him.<\/p>\n
\u201cActually, it\u2019s not really my home. I\u2019m only staying here temporarily\u201d I told him; though something about that sentence clawed at me, I swallowed it down and led him into the living room where everything was already set up.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis place is huge,\u201d he breathed. \u201cWho does it belong to?\u201d \u201cGavin Landry,\u201d I told him as sit on the one of the couches.<\/p>\n
He freezes for a moment, registering that name.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlpha Lycan Gavin Landry?\u201d He asked, raising his brows.<\/p>\n
I nodded, nibbling on my lower lip and trying to keep from meeting his gaze.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s letting you stay in his mansion?\u201d He prodded, studying my reddened face.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, something kind of happened with my family and I have this stalker ex, etc etc,\u201d I told him, my face reddening even more.<\/p>\n
