Chapter 0139 Hes a ruthless Alpha , my mother warned .


    Hes a Lycan chairman , and very powerful .


    Be careful around him .


    Make sure to show him respect .


    I nodded .


    My mother finished cleaning our mess in the bathroom before she turned and walked out , leaving me alone with my thoughts .


    I stared at myself in the mirror , my heart heavy in my chest .


    I was just about to walk out of the bathroom after a bit of staying behind , but the door opened before I could touch the knob .


    I froze when I saw Gavin standing in front of me .


    W… what are you doing in here ? I asked him in a hushed whisper .


    He made his way into the bathroom .


    and shut the door behind him , saying nothing in response .


    Gavin- I tried again , but he stopped me as he pushed me against the counter and covered my lips with his .


    His kiss was warm and tender , sending my heart intoplete turmoil to the point where I thought it was going to beat out of my chest .


    I sighed contently at the feeling of him pressing against me ; It felt as if my entire body was on fire .


    Our lips moved together in perfect harmony and when I felt him nipping bottom lip with his teeth , I couldnt help but let out a little moan .


    at my Remembering where we were , I put my hand on his chest and gave him a small push .


    Gavin , we cant do this here , I told him breathlessly .


    He let out a small growl as he pressed his forehead against mine .


    Then lets get out of here , he murmured .


    I smiled at his eagerness , but I also felt a bit sad knowing that I had to stay for a little longer .


    I was no longer there for Irene ; I was there for my mother .


    I had to make sure she was okay and that they werent going to make her feel bad about her situation .


    I cant just yet , I whispered .


    I dont trust them with my mother .


    He pulled back slightly , and his frown deepened .


    Have they always treated you like this ? I bit my lip , but I nodded .


    They never liked me , I murmured , They have no right to treat you in that kind of way .


    Ill make sure it never happens again , he said , his aura darkening .


    I smiled at him ; I liked that he was protective , but it was going to get us both into trouble if he wasnt careful .


    I appreciate that , but I can handle it myself , I assured him .


    She spilled wine on you , he reminded me .


    Is that you handling things on your own ? It was an oversight , I said , shrugging .


    I wont be blind like that again .


    Judy- Please , Gavin , I pleaded .


    Just let it go .


    He looked at me for a long while before sighing ; then , he nodded .


    Okay , but if they say anything more disrespectful towards you , I cant promise I wont step in , he told me .


    I smiled and stood on my toes to kiss him .


    When our lips met , my heart began to race again .


    The effect this man had on my body was limitless and it also scared me .


    What we were doing was meant to be fun and nothing too serious .


    It was only to get others off our backs and to scratch an itch , but I felt myself growing closer to him with each kiss and that worried me .


    Third Person POV You embarrassed our family in front of Gavin Landry .


    You should be ashamed of yourself ! Raymond scolded his wife .


    He had finished defusing the situation and talking to Gavin just before Gavin excused himself to use the restroom .


    It was a mistake , Meredith tried to exin .


    I didnt recognize him.


    And that makes it right ? He asked through his teeth We are a noble family , and we need to act as such .


    We are already doing a charitable thing for the Montague family , Meredith said , folding her arms across her chest .


    It doesnt get more noble than that .


    They had agreed to open their doors to Judy and her mother because they would soon find themselves homeless .


    Meredith got what she wanted ; she is now on top and its the Montagues who find themselves on the bottom .


    She couldnt hide the joy on her face as she spoke about doing that charitable action for the poor family .


    Youll be lucky if I can get Gavin back on our side , Raymond said , shaking his head .


    Not even Raymonds wife knew the impact that Gavin had on the business that allowed them to live the lifestyle they currently live .


    Getting on Gavins bad side could mean ruining their entire family .


    Merediths frown deepened .


    It was sour luck that Gavin Landry happened to show up at that exact moment and why was he acting as if he knew Judy ? It felt as if something was seriously up between the two of them , but that couldnt be possible .


    Gavin wouldnt be with a nobody like Judy Montague .


    There had to be a reason why he came to her rescue and Meredith was going to find out why .
