Chapter 0140

Gavin’s POV

The rage I felt when I saw Ethan’s family tormenting Judy was beyond what I had ever felt in my life. I was honestly surprised that I was able to control myself. Staying at this barbeque wasn’t something I wanted to do, but Judy pleaded with me to let it go for right now and I wasn’t going to leave without her. I watched her mingling with a few girls her age, and she looked rather uncomfortable. Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink, I used my Lycan hearing to listen to their conversation, completely ignoring what Raymond Cash was saying on the other side of me.

“It must be really embarrassing for you to watch your fated mate with another she–wolf,” one of the girls said.

“I’m surprised you bothered showing up,” the other said.

I let out a small growl, which seemed to startle the table I was sitting at. It brought me back to the current moment and I saw eyes on me. I cleared my throat and forced a smile.

“I apologize,” I said as I stood to my feet. “If you’ll excuse me for a minute.”

I wasn’t sure what I was going to do, but I couldn’t sit there, and watch Judy be embarrassed over what these pointless she–wolves were saying to her. I walked towards them as they continued their conversation and without thinking, I draped an arm around Judy’s shoulders.

“Ladies,” I said to them, making their jaw drop. “If you don’t mind, I’m going to steal Miss Montague.”

“A… Alpha Gavin Landry?” One of them stammered, her eyes large as she stared up at me. “I… It’s an honor…”

I stared at her with indifference, without replying.

The other girl was looking between Judy and me, her eyes quizzical.

“I wasn’t aware you and Judy knew one another,” she pointed out, her brows raised.

Judy went to speak, but I cut her off.

“My relationship with Miss Montague isn’t your concern,” I told her. “If you’ll excuse us.”
