Chapter 0294 Judys POV Having a quickie in the backseat of the rental car was not on my agenda for the day , but here I was , slipping out of a car and attempting to adjust my clothes that were practically stripped off my body with the teeth of a wolf .


    I turned to see Gavin staring at me from the backseat ; he told me he would let me go first so people wouldnt be suspicious .


    He was still dressing as he watched me walk away .


    I wasnt sure what to say to him ; this whole thing was starting to be confusing .


    I wrapped my arms around my body and hurried back towards the arena before the next round started .


    We had one more match for today , and then the second portion of this week is the day after tomorrow .


    Because there were so many of uspeting , we were split into two groups .


    Group A and Group B.


    I would have been in Group A if I didnt get injured and missed out on the match yesterday .


    Group As second portion is tomorrow .


    I had to admit , I was nervous about this round .


    I havent been able to shift into my wolf for some time now .


    Sometimes we would shift in ss , during ourbat and shifting course , but its been a while since my wolf wanted toe out to y .


    Since my breakup with Ethan , shes been dismissive .


    Lately , shes been more active ?and vocal in my mind , but as far as shifting goes , Ive been afraid of her rejection of the shift to even try .


    I knew I should have at least tried to shift and practice fighting in my wolf form , but something kept stopping from doing so .


    Judy ! I heard my name from a short distance , and I turned to see Nan rushing towards me with a bright smile and a water bottle in hand .


    I thought you might be thirsty , so I came to look for you .


    She handed me the water bottle and I took it greedily .


    Thank you , I breathed .


    You are doing great by the way .


    You really kick ass , she said , hugging me tightly before releasing me and turning towards a couple of girls and a boy who stood behind her .


    I want you to meet my friends .


    Theyve been great while Ive been here all alone .


    You arent alone , Nan .


    Im here , I reminded her , rolling my eyes .


    Yeah , but youre so busy , she told me .


    So anyways , this is Kelsey , Mac , and Tyler .


    I smiled at each of them who nodded as she sang their names .


    Its nice to meet you , I told them .


    me Mac and Tyler are cousins , Nan continued to exin , she smiled up at Taylor who grinned back at her .


    My chest tightened ; that look they gave one another … it was odd .


    And Kelsey is Macs best friend .


    Her older brotherpetes so shes here to support him .


    Tyler stepped towards Nan ; he was another pretty boy type , and I could tell from the way he stood and the glint in his eyes that he knew he was pretty .


    I watched as he put his hand on the small of Nans back .


    I didnt miss the way she tensed slightly from his touch , but she looked up at him and smiled .


    Im going to make sure our seats havent been taken , he said to her in a low tone .


    She nodded and nibbled on her lower lip as she looked at the others .


    How about you girls go with him ? Ill catch up with you , Nan told them .


    They both nodded .


    Chapter 0204 It was nice meeting you , Judy , Kelsey said as she turned and started to walk after Tyler .


    Yeah , good luck out there ! Mac said , waving over her shoulder as she too walked after them .


    Nan shook her head and chuckled at her friends before turning back to me with a wide smile .


    You got this .


    Dont be nervous .


    Your wolf wille to you when you need her , she told me , putting a hand on my shoulder .


    Part of why Nan was my best friend was because she got me .


    She understood my worries and she knew that I was scared my wolf wouldnte , even without me telling her .


    I nodded ; I never took my eyes off Nans face , and she was looking everywhere but my eyes .


    Nan … I said , my voiceing out controlled .


    Is there something you want to tell me ? She bit her lower lip and stared at the ground .


    Im not sure what you mean , she murmured .


    She started to turn away from me , but I ran around her and stood in front of her , forcing her to face me and look at me .


    With my hands on my hips , I asked again , Is there something you want to tell me ? Perhaps about Tyler ? She lifted her gaze and met my eyes , her teeth gnawing on Her bottom lip until I swear , I saw blood .


    I looked back .


    into her eyes and saw that they were filling with tears .
