Chapter 869\u00a0<\/p>\n
Judy\u2019s POV\u00a0<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t like the idea of Megan Churchill sitting in the hospital for 23 years\u2026 kept alive by only machines. Gavin decided that bringing Eliza along would benefit us; she could tell us exactly what was wrong with Meg and how we could fix her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then maybe we can bring Meg home and introduce her to her daughter. I caught Gavin up a little bit on our way to the packhouse; it was later in the evening, so we knew that Eliza and Taylor would be at the packhouse around\u00a0<\/p>\n
now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I told him a bit about the curse and why we needed to get to Meg. Gavin pulled up to the packhouse and parked the car. After a beat of silence, he got out of the car and ran around to the passenger door to open it for me, offering me his hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My cheeks heated as I took his hand, allowing him to pull me to my feet. I stood close to him; my eyes wide from his sudden close proximity, and my cheeks growing even hotter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a few more for the protest,\u201d I heard a familiar voice say from around the corner of the nearby shrubbery. The shrubs almost hid us so that we couldn\u2019t be seen, but the voices carried as if they were right next to me\u2026 speaking to me. \u201cThey also don\u2019t want her as our Luna.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d the other familiar voice said. \u201cShe won\u2019t make a good Luna. Alpha Gavin has to see that. He should pick someone more in his league and someone we can trust.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSave your speech for the rally,\u201d the other voice chuckled. \u201cWe need to get back to work so we can go home.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The voices faded as they walked away, and I was left frozen in place. Gavin\u2019s eyes were trained on my face the entire time, and I could tell without looking at them that they were dark and he was holding himself back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat the hell was that?\u201d He asked, his voice low and dangerous.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I swallowed the lump in my throat and refused to look him in the eyes because of pure shame.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was the she-wolves of your pack not wanting me as the luna,\u201d I murmured, my cheeks heating again, only this time for a different reason.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow long had this been going on?\u201d He asked. \u201cYou aren\u2019t surprised by their words, so I\u2019m assuming you\u2019ve heard them before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I bit my lower lip, nibbling on it slowly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d I said, my voice dropping to a whisper. \u201cI\u2019ve heard them speaking like this before.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, Hey Gavin\u2026 hey Judy,\u201d Eliza said as she stepped out of the newly parked car. I blinked, not realizing another vehicle had just pulled up,\u00a0<\/p>\n
Beta Taylor got out of the driver\u2019s side as Eliza stepped out of the passenger side. She looked tired, and from her white trench coat, I knew she was heading home from work.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But despite her tiredness, she still managed to smile at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Eliza,\u201d I said in return. \u201cBeta Taylor.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Taylor smiled at me as he draped an arm around his mates.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything okay? You two look like you\u2019re in a heated discussion,\u201d he commented, staring between the two of us.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cActually, I need to steal your mate for a few hours,\u201d Gavin said, his eyes finding Elizabeth\u2019s. \u201cWe have a situation in Yellowstone.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Eliza raised her brows and then looked at Taylor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI suppose our night alone will have to be put on hold,\u201d she told him, letting out a breath. \u201cI do apologize, My Love.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He sighed as well and kissed her cheek lovingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll get you to myself one of these days,\u201d he assured her. \u201cAnd then I won\u2019t let you out of our bed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou two are sickly cute,\u201d I commented, a smile stretching across my lips and making them laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, what\u2019s going on?\u201d Eliza asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ll explain it on the way,\u201d Gavin assured her. \u201cBut it\u2019s important. I wouldn\u2019t pull you away at this hour if it weren\u2019t.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She nodded, understanding in her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, let me just pack a few things,\u201d she said, pointing over her shoulder at the packhouse. \u201cI\u2019ll be back momentarily.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll come with you,\u201d Taylor said as he jogged alongside her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Their voices faded as they disappeared into the packhouse, and then Gavin turned to look at me again, concern clear on his face, and my heart tugged in my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s okay,\u201d I tell him before he has the chance to say anything. \u201cIrene\u2019s been helping me become more Luna- like. I\u2019ll prove to them that I can be a good Luna.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gavin\u2019s eyes widened.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s the reason you\u2019ve been taking lessons?\u201d He asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
My cheeks heated when I realized what I just confessed to.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d I admitted. \u201cI\u2019m sorry for not telling you the truth sooner. I didn\u2019t want to start issues in your pack, and you already have so much going on. This was one problem that I could deal with on my own. I\u2019m going to kill them with kindness. I\u2019ll prove to them that I can be a good Luna.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
