Judy''s POV


    Over the course of the next couple of days, I hadn''t heard much of Gavin. Matt had been away on a school trip, so I didn''t need to go to the Vi for tutoring. I preupied my time with Lukas Merryweather and tutoring him. He was actually a pretty nice guy. He was really funny and intelligent.


    He was top of his ss in his old school and came here for more of a challenge. He was Alpha Mica''s nephew and lived in his territory; I didn''t notice at the time, but Lukas was also at thepetition, and he said that I kicked his ass pretty early on and made him give up.


    Thest couple of days, he had been hanging out with Nan, Sammy, and me in the student lounge. They found him just as funny as well and we enjoyed having him be a part of our little group.


    When we were studying, we were training in the gym. He was good, but not as good as me and it was no wonder I was able to beat him easily in thepetition. I couldn''t even imagine how embarrassed Mica must have been when I took down his nephew with ease. The other Lycans must have given him hell for that.


    "You shoulde over tonight so we can start on that project for Professor Rivers," I told him a few days after we officially met for the first time.


    He nodded as he took a bite of his sandwich.


    "Yeah, I can do that. Send me your address," he told me.


    I nodded and sent him a quick text with my address.


    Soon, Beta Taylor pulled up toe and get me. I waved goodbye to Lukas and hopped into the back seat of the car. Lukas walked to his own car as Taylor drove off.


    "New friend?" Taylor asked, raising his brows as he stared at me through the rearview mirror.


    I nced at him, confused.


    "I''m tutoring him," I exined. “But yeah, he''s a pretty cool guy. I enjoy spending time with him. He''sing over tonight to work on a project."


    Beta Taylor''s eyes widened at my words and for a moment, he looked kind of uneasy.


    "Does Gavin know about this?"


    My brows knitted together.


    "I don''t need Gavin''s permission," I told him bluntly. "He''s not my boyfriend and also, Lukas is just my friend."


    "Lukas..." Taylor let the name rest on his tongue for a moment. "Merryweather?"


    I nodded.


    "Yeah, he''s Alpha Mica''s nephew," I replied.


    "I thought he looked familiar," Taylor said, shaking his head.


    He didn''t look particrly pleased, but the conversation didn''t continue as he silently drove me to the mansion.


    Once there, I quickly got out of the car, thanked Taylor, and headed inside. The way Taylor was in the car when I spoke about Lukas, made me a bit uneasy. I was worried that maybe hanging out with him wasn''t a good idea because of Gavin. I mean, he was another Lycan''s nephew after all... which meant that Lukas also had a bit of Lycan blood in him.


    I doubted Gavin would want him in his mansion, but Gavin hadn''t really been around thesest few days so he probably wouldn''t even notice that he was here.


    I immediately went upstairs and put on something morefortable so I could


    start this project as I waited for Lukas to arrive. He was due to be here in the next hour or so.


    Chester made some food for our study session, which I was beyond grateful for.


    Not before long, Lukas was


    knocking on the door and I was


    opening it smiled when I saw him standing outside with his backpack slungover his shoulders and his hair a bit disheveled from running his fingers through it.


    "Hey," I said, stepping aside.


    "I didn''t realize you lived in such a huge home," he said, admiring the sight before


    him. "You are very modest at school."


    I smiled and shut the door behind him.


    "Actually, it''s not really my home. I''m only staying here temporarily" I told him; though something about that sentence wed at me, I swallowed it down and led him into the living room where everything was already set up.


    "This ce is huge," he breathed. "Who does it belong to?" "Gavin Landry," I told him as sit on the one of the couches.


    He freezes for a moment, registering that name.


    "Alpha Lycan Gavin Landry?" He asked, raising his brows.


    I nodded, nibbling on my lower lip and trying to keep from meeting his gaze.


    "He''s letting you stay in his mansion?" He prodded, studying my reddened face.


    "Yeah, something kind of happened with my family and I have this stalker ex, etc etc," I told him, my face reddening even more.
