Chapter 132

Judy’s POV

Enough time had passed, and I finally decided to go back to my hotel suite. I needed to change clothes before I went to the resort workout room and started my day. I needed to spend the rest of my day training with some others. But first, I needed to get this massive hangover under control.

I was relieved when I didn’t see Gavin in the halls when I returned to the floor. I had to pass by his room to get to mine, I made sure to tiptoe, not wanting him to know that I was walking by.

Then again, he was a Lycan… he probably knew I was in the elevator.

Once I got to the door, I realized I didn’t have my actual room key. I just had to hope and pray that Nan was there. I knocked on the door, trying to be loud enough for Nan to hear me, but quiet enough that Gavin doesn’t.

Not that it mattered, he knew I was there. I know he did… but the question was, would he open his door and confront me? I probably shouldn’t have run away like that; I probably should have stayed and explained the situation to him. But I was so embarrassed that I ended up in his bed last night that the only thing I could think of was to run away.

Not before long, the door swung open, and I spun around, not realizing I was facing Gavin’s room. Nan stood on the other side of the door, her arms folded across her chest and a smirk on her lips.

“Well, look who decided to return to our room,” she said, her brows raised as she took in my clothes, realizing I was still in the same dress I wore to the banquet last night. I didn’t get a chance to look at myself in the mirror this morning, but I could only imagine how I must have looked. My hair was probably all over the place and I most likely had makeup smudges all over my pale face.

I stepped into the room and Nan shut the door behind me. I could feel her eyes burning a hole in the back of my head.

“Did you have a good night with Gavin?” Nan shocked me by asking.

I gasped and spun around to face her, my eyes wide.

“H… how did you know?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

She studied me for a moment; her face remained stoic until I found the crack in her resolve. The corner of her lip twitched ever so slightly, indicating that she wasn’t really, and she found it amusing.

“Let’s just say… I have a good eye for detail,” she said, her eyes scanning my dress.

I felt self-conscious under her scrutiny and my cheeks burned even more with embarrassment. Before I could say anything, she burst out laughing.

I was startled by the outburst and stared up at her; I saw that she was holding the bedpost, keeping herself from falling over as she doubled over in a heap of laughter.

“Oh, Goddess,” she laughed. “You should seriously see the look on your face.”

I pressed my lips in a tight line.

“This isn’t funny, Nan,” I said, sighing. All I wanted to do was cry and she was laughing at me.

“Oh, trust me. It’s hilarious,” she laughed. “I saw him walking into the hotel and checking into his room. I was distracted when I met some girls and kind of forgot about it when I saw you later that night. But then as I was walking back to the suite, I saw you stumbling into the wrong suite. I recognized the suite number because I heard the front desk clerk giving that room to Gavin. I tried to stop you from going into the wrong room. Don’t you remember?”

I tried to remember last night and a slight memory of seeing Nan appeared in my head. I remembered her looking frantic about something, but I was too far gone at that moment and I just wanted to get into bed. I assumed Nan was behind me and got into her own bed; maybe that’s why I was so adamant about being in the right room even though I was completely wrong.

“You shut the door, and I couldn’t get in. I knocked but it was no use. I realized what room you were in and I knew you’d be fine. Maybe super embarrassed once you figured it out… but I knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to you. So, I went back to our room,” she said that last part while shrugging.

“I really wish you tried harder, Nan,” I murmured, closing my eyes as the memory of last night replayed in my mind.

I had sex with Gavin.

“Did you have a bad night?” She asked with a worried frown. “He didn’t go too far… did he?”

I knew what she was asking, and I couldn’t really say anything bad about Gavin besides how he treated me these last couple of weeks. But as far as last night goes… I knew he was drunk too. I could smell the boos on his breath, and he was acting out of character just like I was. We were both in a tough spot and we let our feelings cloud our judgment.

It was a choice between two drunk adults, and there was nobody at fault. I was just mortified over the fact that I ended up in his room unannounced. It looked so bad… how was I going to explain myself? How would I ever face him again?

“No…” I admitted, hating myself for it. “it was incredible. But it shouldn’t have happened and I’m embarrassed.”

She pouted.

“I’m sorry, Judy. You’re right. I should have tried harder. It wasn’t cool of me,” she said sadly.

I sighed and walked over to her, hugging her.

“I’m not mad at you,” I told her. “It’s not your responsibility to take care of me. I’m sorry for putting that on you.”

We hugged each other for a moment longer before she released me.

“Okay, you should shower. You stink,” she teased.

I grinned and grabbed my workout clothes from one of the drawers.

“I’m just going to change and wash up in the sink. I have training today so taking a shower now is pointless,” I told her over my shoulder as I headed into the bathroom.

I dressed in a yoga bra and skintight leggings that showed off my curves. It made for easier movements during training, so it was my prime choice attire. I pulled my hair into a ponytail, making sure no loose strands fell over my face. I turned on the sink and grabbed a cloth from the nearby shelf.

After applying some cleanser to the cloth, I washed my face, neck, and underarms. Turning off the water after a few minutes, I grabbed a dry towel and dried myself. Then, I rummaged through one of my bathroom bags until I found my stick of deodorant along with my toothbrush and toothpaste.

I applied the deodorant and then brushed my teeth. Once I was done, I was ready to hit the gym. Nan said she was going ot breakfast with her new friends and asked if we could meet up for lunch later. After giving her confirmation of the plans, I left and went to the resort gym.

I had to follow the large map that they gave me and still ended up turning around. After a long while of wandering around the many halls and openings of the resort, I finally found the gym. I wasn’t sure how I managed to miss it; the gym was huge.

I couldn’t believe this was inside of another building. The gym was three stories tall and there was a swimming pool for just exercising. The walls were glass, overlooking the beachside of the resort and I could see that resort casino attached in the distance of one of the windows.

I was also prepared for the gym to be packed, which it was. Despite how big it was, there didn’t seem to be enough room. I knew most everyone here was preparing for the upcoming competition. I could tell from how they worked out and the attire some of the wore. They weren’t there for casual workouts.

I glanced around at the place, trying to figure out where to start. I decided to see if there were any lockers available to put my stuff in. I had a backpack filled with some gym essentials, along with my phone and wallet. I didn’t want to carry them with me all day.

I headed towards the locker room, walking past unfamiliar faces and giving polite smiles as I went. I stepped into the locker room; there were a few girls in there taking bathroom selfies and I had to stifle the urge to roll my eyes. they weren’t there for training or working out… they wanted their social media followers to think they were gym rats.

I glanced around at all the lockers; there were a ton of them... more than I could comprehend. However, as I looked at all the red lights on each of the lockers, I realized there wasn’t one available.

“Oops, sorry. I got the last one,” one of the girls said; she didn’t sound sorry at all. “Maybe you should have gotten here sooner.”

I pressed my lips in a thin line; engaging with her was not something I wanted to do. I started to walk past her with my bag over my shoulder.

“Are you here for the Gamma competition too?” She asked, halting my movements.

“Too?” I asked, turning around to face her. “You’re competing?”

“Don’t look so surprised. My daddy is sponsoring the event,” she told me, glancing at her nails.

I raised my brows.

“You’re Alpha Levi’s daughter?” I asked, dumbfounded. I guess I really didn’t know much about Alpha Levi other than the fact that he was a Lycan and Gavin’s enemy.

“Don’t we look alike?” She asked patting her lashes.

Now that she mentioned it, she did have an uncanny resemblance to him.

“But don’t worry… when I win… it’ll be fair and square,” she said with a plastered smile. “I’ve been trained by the best, so I’m bound to win after all.”

She flipped her long blonde hair over her shoulder and gave me a wink which made my blood boil. I didn’t bother saying anything to her; the other girls in the bathroom who were talking to her before I arrived all chuckled amongst themselves, thinking they had bested me. It only fueled my fire though, making me want to take her down first.

I turned and stormed out of the locker room only to run smack into someone. I dropped my bag on the ground and stumbled backward. I felt a warm set of hands steadying me and when I looked up my breath hitched.

Gavin…
