Chapter 100

Judy’s POV

I was surprised when he returned with a red solo cup of water. I was expecting a water bottle or something, but he didn’t seem to be fazed by it and he handed it to me with a grin. I glanced in the cup but sure enough, I saw clear liquid. It didn’t smell like anything either, so I relaxed a little and smiled gratefully at him.

“Thank you,” I told him as I brought the cup to my lips.

The taste was a little off… I crinkled my nose and stared back at the cup before looking up at him.

“It’s non-filtered,” he explained. “We don’t have any filtered water right now. We just ran out.”

I nodded; that did make sense. I took another sip; though, it tasted strange, it felt good in comparison to the beer. As I drank a bit more, I looked up at him and he saw that he was watching me with a curious expression on his face.

“So, are you seeing anybody?” he asked.

I was surprised by the question, but I tried not to show it on my face. This was a strange way to pick up a woman; standing outside of the bathroom while her best friend puked up her guts.

“No,” I told him, though I wasn’t sure if that was entirely true. As of right now, it didn’t feel like I was seeing anyone. But would Gavin agree with me? “But I’m not exactly looking for anyone to see either.”

He nodded.

“I get that,” he told me. “I hadn’t really dated for a long time. Despite living in a frat house. Sure, I have women throwing themselves at me, but none of them really kept my interest. Not like you at least.”

I smiled as I took another sip of the water.

“You’re a smooth talker,” I teased. “That’s can be dangerous.”

“Why is that dangerous?”

“Because I’m sure you can get what you want with just your words,” I told him.

As I spoke, I realized my cheeks were getting warm and my voice was starting to sound a bit far away to my ears. I shook off the feeling, thinking was probably a bit tired and lightheaded from the beer I drank earlier.

“Maybe I can,” he said, stepping closer to me. “And is that a problem?”

I shook my head and then got super dizzy from the motion. I had to hold onto the wall to support myself.

“Woah…” I said, letting out an embarrassed chuckle. “I’m not sure what just happened. Is it hot in here?”

I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead and my breathing was getting heavier. Why was I getting so hot all of a sudden?

“Maybe a little,” Kyle said with a frown. “Maybe you should drink some more water.”

I nodded and took another long and deep sip. Soon, the cup was empty. He took the cup from me and threw it in the nearest trash. My cheeks were burning, and I found myself hugging the wall, fearing that I would fall over.

“Feel any better?” He asked, returning to me.

“Um… I don’t know…” I said, my words coming out way more slurred than I meant them to come out. I don’t know what’s happening to me.

I thought I spoke those last words out loud, but I realized I hadn’t. But I heard them out loud… at least I thought I did. It didn’t feel like it was me speaking anymore.

Was I even breathing?

I looked up at Kyle who was now very close to me. He wrapped his arms around my body, holding me close to him so I wouldn’t fall over.

That was very kind of him… but I still wasn’t sure what was happening to me.

“Hey, you’re okay,” he said softly, his voice sounding distant. His image was becoming distorted. I opened my mouth to speak, but no words came out. My lips were completely numb, and I couldn’t remember how to speak.

He lowered his head, and I felt his warm breath on the nape of my neck.

“How about we go upstairs? You can lie down and rest?” He suggested.

I wanted to shake my head and tell him that I wanted to go home. But I couldn’t move my head. My entire body was starting to become paralyzed. My wolf was itching to come out; she was in agony as heat coursed through her. It was strange because I could feel her heat, it was painful and it made my entire body burn, but I also felt so out of it that I couldn’t move.

What was going on with me?

Before I knew what was happening, he was lifting me into his arms and cradling me bridal style.

“Let’s go to my room,” he murmured against me, peppering small kisses along the nape of my neck.

Something wasn’t right… and I had a feeling it was because of Kyle.

…….

Gavin’s POV

After Matt went to bed, I decided to go to the mansion and check on Judy. I didn’t like how we left things last night and there was a part of me that felt guilty over the ordeal. I knew I hurt her feelings, and I wanted to explain myself a little more so she could understand my side of things.

But when I got there, Judy wasn’t there.

“Where is she?” I asked Harper who was standing before me.

“She went to some party at her school,” Harper explained with a shrug. “I believe she said it was a frat party.”

A low growl escaped my throat; she went to a frat party by herself? Does she have any idea how dangerous that was? What was worse was the fact that Leroy was here. He was waiting for her to call him for a ride home.

“You should have stayed with her,” I said through my teeth.

“Sorry, Alpha,” Leroy said, bowing his head. “She insisted that I leave for right now.”

Before I could reprimand him even more, Leroy’s phone rang. He glanced at the screen and answered it with a frown.

“Hello?” He said.

He paused as he listened to the voice at the other end. His eyes narrowed and he nodded, despite them not being able to see him.

“Yeah, I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

He hung up the phone and turned to look at me.

“Who was that?” I asked impatiently.

“Judy<” he answered, gaining my attention. “I guess Nan is wasted and they both want to get picked up. I’ll take Nan home and then bring Judy here right away.”

He started to leave but I followed after him.

“I’m coming too,” I told him.

He nodded and together we started to drive towards the school. We hit traffic and I groaned as we were only moving an inch every couple of minutes. The ambulance and police officers that zoomed past us indicated that there was an accident. I wasn’t surmised considering we were in the middle of the city.

Leroy took out his phone to text Judy that there was traffic and he’d be there as soon as he could. She sent back a thumbs-up emoji. As time went on, there was a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach. I started to feel like something wasn’t right. We were only around the corner from the school and yet both time and traffic were standing still.

“Is there a way around it?” I asked, trying to get a look around the traffic.

“Afraid not,” he murmured. “Humans can’t drive.”

I let out a low growl; annoyed.

“I need to get to that party,” I said impatiently.

Without a single word, I threw the door open and stepped out of the car.

“Alpha?” Leroy called after me, but I didn’t give him the time to say anything more. I was running through the traffic as fast as I could. I didn’t shift into my wolf because there were too many humans around, but I could run faster than anyone both human and wolf.

It didn’t take me long to reach the school and the second I was on campus; I could pick up Judy’s scent. I pulled my wolf forward to follow that scent; I wasn’t fully shirted, but enough to get me to Judy without causing a scene around the campus.

The party was loud and obvious, I didn’t expect anything less, it was a frat party after all.

Most were too drunk to even notice me, but if they were too drunk, they would have known that I was Gavin Landry… or at least a Lycan. I knew this was a school of werewolves so my aura would be obvious to them.

I burst through the front doors and shoved my way through the drunk college students. My wolf took me down a long hallway and from the tell of it, it seemed Judy was near the bathroom. My stomach tightened with each step we took.

I heard some muffled noise around the corner. It sounded like Judy’s voice… but it was mixed with the voice of a man.

My blood went cold at the sound, and I felt a rage like no other.

When I walked around the corner, I froze for only a moment when I saw this frat boy picking Judy up and holding her against his chest bridal style. Judy was swaying in his arms, her body limp and her eyes half closed. It was clear she was intoxicated… or maybe worse… could she have been drugged?

The frat boy was brushing his lips against the nape of her neck, whispering something to her and that was when I was snapped back to reality.

I released the biggest growl of my life.
