Chapter 150

Judy’s POV

Welcome to my punishment?

Was he seriously going to deprive me of an orgasm just because I hid from him? The look on his face showed amusement, but I knew from the look he was giving me that he was dead serious. He really wasn’t going to return the favor. I stood from my place, still completely naked, pouting up at him.

“This is cruel and unusual punishment,” I complained, folding my arms across my chest, and successfully shielding my breasts from him in the process.

He grinned and leaned down, pressing his lips to my forehead.

“I never said I was a fair man,” he told me. “Come on.”

He pulled me with him until I was lying in the bed, the pillow resting behind my back and the blanket scrunched to my feet. He pulled the blanket over my naked form, covering the rest of me.

He didn’t bother getting dressed as he walked around the bed and slid in beside me.

“Sleep. You have a big day tomorrow at your second match, and you need to be up early.”

I knew he was right, but still, I was horny and now I’m frustrated. Sighing, I rested my head on the pillow and turned away from him. I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy though; he wrapped me in his arms acting the part of the big spoon and he rested his face in the crook of my neck, inhaling my scent deeply.

I wasn’t sure what that was about, but I decided to let it go for now. I closed my eyes, and within a few minutes, I finally fell asleep.

Third Person POV

Nan stood shell-shocked as embarrassment clouded her. She had never seen a fight up close and personal like this before; at least not ones that weren’t in wolf form. But this… this was something different. This wasn’t training or wolves defending their territory, this was a man showing Nan his true colors and she didn’t exactly like what she was seeing.

Tyler had blown a comment way out of proportion. He left to use the bathroom, leaving Nan alone at the concert. A man approached her and started to talk to her. Nan found nothing bad about the man; he was an older gentleman and had a kind smile. In a way, it kind of reminded her of Chester’s smile. This man also had a cute dimple on the side of his cheek that deepened the more he smiled. He was also easy on the eyes, but Nan wasn’t romantically interested in him. She had only just met him, and she didn’t get the vibe that he was interested in her either.

They spoke about the band mostly and how it was his favorite singer. Nan had never even heard of this band until tonight, so that piqued the guy's interest even more and he started to pry into her favorite music tastes.

He was about to part ways with her, spotting a friend that he was waiting for, a pretty girl with a short skirt and pixie-styled blonde hair. Nan assumed that was his date. He gave Nan a quick side hug and told her that she looked beautiful and to keep smiling. He noticed she was frowning a lot and that was the reason he came to speak with her; he wanted to make her smile.

Just as she was thanking him, Tyler interrupted and started to yell at him. Nan tried to explain the situation, but Tyler wouldn’t listen to her. He started to yell at her as well, calling her awful names.

And then he started to fight with the guy. They were in the middle of fighting and tears streamed down Nan’s cheeks as the security team came to break it up. The girl that the guy was with was also staring at the scene, her cheeks flushed and her mouth agape.

Nan had never been more embarrassed when the security asked her to accompany them outside; they told her that she and her boyfriend couldn’t stay. Nan tried to explain the situation, but nobody was listening to her and soon, she fell silent as everyone around her stared and whispered.

Nan was silent as she sat in the car, waiting for Tyler to finish speaking to the security team. Once they cleared him to leave, he got into the driver’s seat and sped away, heading back to the resort. They were about 30 minutes from the resort and Nan’s stomach was a mess.

She fought back the urge to cry again as she stared out the window. The sun had set for the day and was replaced by a gorgeous half-full moon and sparkling stars that twinkled above them as if they were shining just for her.

The silence was thick and awkward, and Nan thought she was going to be sick.

“I’m sorry,” Tyler finally said; it was about 15 minutes into the drive when he finally spoke.

She turned to look at him; not sure what to say. This was technically their second date; they had only known each other for 3 or 4 days and things were already so complicated. She wasn’t sure if this was worth the unavoidable heartbreak once she was left.

“I saw him flirting with you, and I guess I just went crazy,” he admitted. “I heard what he said… and I got scared.”

“Tyler we aren’t exclusive,” she blurted, her eyes narrowed. She was proud of how strong her voice sounded when all she really wanted to do was cry.

He nodded, his mouth pressing in a thin line.

“I know, but I was hoping that could change soon?” He asked. When she didn’t respond right away, he glanced her way before looking back at the road.

“I’m not really looking for anything serious right now,” she told him, her teeth digging so hard into her bottom lip that she tasted blood. She was nervous around him now; she didn’t trust him.

“I know, but I thought we could just get to know one another and see where it goes from there,” he said softly. ‘I’m sorry if I’m moving too fast. I just really like you, Nan. I want us to spend as much time together as we can before you have to leave.”

Nan couldn’t seem to look at him; she kept her eyes fixed out her window. She thought about Chester and the pain she endured before she arrived in this country. She was so depressed she drank herself unconscious; she got alcohol poisoning and had to spend time in the hospital.

The embarrassment she felt tonight was nothing in comparison to the pain she felt from Chester. If not anything more, Tyler was still a good distraction for her and while Judy was busy with the tournament and dealing with her situation with Gavin, Nan could use a distraction.

“Maybe we can try again tomorrow night?” Nan suggested after a long while of silence.

“Really?” Tyler asked, peeking over at her.

The resort came into view and Nan was relieved to see it. She really wanted to return to her room and get some sleep; maybe have a girl chat with Judy. She needed to talk to someone who wasn’t Tyler.

“Yeah,” she said after another pause, thinking about her response carefully before committing.

“Awesome,” he breathed. “Maybe we can do dinner and some dancing? I know a place in the city. I can get us in for free.”

Nan nodded thoughtfully; she loved to dance. It was a hidden talent she had. If she didn’t aspire to own her own restaurant one day, she would have opted to become a dancer.

“Sound good,” she said, forcing a smile.

Tyler parked the car, and Nan took her seatbelt off. She thought about ditching Tyler in the parking lot and finding her own way back to the resort. But Tyler insisted on walking with her, claiming he didn’t want her to be wandering around alone.

Once they were at her hotel room suite, he boldly brushed his lips across her, giving her a quick kiss. He had asked to come inside, but Nan told him that Judy was inside, and she didn’t want to disturb her.

Begrudgingly, Tyler gave her another peck on the lips and then retreated.

As soon as Nan was in the room with the door shut, she let out a shuddering breath. She wasn’t sure why she was feeling so pent up, but her heart and body were at war with one another, pulling her in two different directions. One wanted her far away from Tyler and the other wanted to cling to him. Then, there was her wolf who only wanted her mate.

Needless to say, Nan was confused.

When she saw that Judy wasn’t in the room, she frowned. She was disappointed though she knew that Judy was most likely still with Gavin. She was probably not going to return for the night.

With her thoughts heavy, Nan decided to go to bed.

Meanwhile, Alpha Levi sat in one of the resort’s late-night cafés. He sipped on his cappuccino, his book resting on his lap as he ignored the new presence that appeared in front of him, sitting in the empty space.

“What news have you brought me?” Levi asked, his eyes remaining fixed on his book. It was as if he had asked how the weather was.

“She wasn’t at the dinner, and Alpha Gavin left early. I think they are together. Which means your suspicions were correct. It wasn’t just a one-night stand… they are actively sleeping together.”

Alpha Levi nodded thoughtfully; his fingers drumming on the table as he stared down at his half-drunk cappuccino. He had spent a long time trying to uncover Gavin’s weaknesses, but Gavin never showed any signs of having any.

If Gavin really was seeing Judy Montague, that could make her a weakness.

“Keep getting close to her,” Levi said, his eyes lifting to face the person sitting in the seat across from her. “I want to know what makes Judy so special and why she’s quickly becoming Alpha Landry’s weakness.”
