Judy''s POV
As I walked Lukas to the living room door, he paused for a moment before we went into the front foyer.
"Thank you again for helping me out, Judy," he told me. "It''s hard moving to a different school, and you''ve made it a lot easier. I''m d we can be friends."
I nodded and smiled at him.
"Yeah, me too," I told him.
"I''ll say goodbye here and show myself out," he told me, giving me a brief hug. "Oh, by the way... do you think I can get Sammy''s phone number? She''s super cute."
I couldn''t help butugh as I hugged him back.
"I''ll see what I can do," I told him.
Just as he was about to pull away, the door mmed open, making us both nearly fall over startled.
The fire in his eyes was enough to kill a thousand men, and his Alpha and Lycan aura worked together to roll off him in waves, making me shudder. Lukas had gonepletely pale. I was surprised by this because his uncle was also a Lycan; I thought he would have been used to the Lycan power by now. Not to mention, Lukas came from a Lycan bloodline. Then again, Gavin was the most powerful of them, so I shouldn''t have been surprised that Lukas felt it tenfold.
"I don''t remember giving a Merryweather permission to take up residence in my pack,” Gavin said through his teeth, his eyes shing dangerously as he red at Lukas.
"He goes to my school," I was quick to exin. "We were studying and-"
"Is that what it was you were doing?" Gavin asked, his eyes never left Lukas''s. "It didn''t look like much studying was getting done."
"I was just leaving," Lukas said, his voiceing out squeakier than it had before Gavin showed up.
"Yes, you were," Gavin agreed firmly. "And I''ll be speaking with your uncle about yourck ofmon sense. You should be asking my permission if you are to step foot in not only my pack but my mansion as well."
Luka''s eyes grew wide as he nced at me.
"I didn''t know this was the Alpha''s mansion."
I folded my arms across my chest and red at Gavin. He was being aplete ass for no reason. He has no im over me to be jealous and he doesn''t really live here. Yes, it was his mansion, but his primary home was his vi on the other side of his pack.
"You aren''t in the wrong, Lukas," I told him, my eyes never leaving Gavin''s face. "I live here, and you are my guest."
"This is my home," Gavin shot back, a bite to his words. "You ask my permission before you step foot in here again, understood?"
"Yes, Alpha. I apologize. If I had known this was your home, I would have asked first."
"Why are you in my region and not your Mica''s?" Gavin asked, narrowing his eyes.
"I already told you, he goes to my school," I said, exasperated and annoyed.
"I want to hear it from him."
Lukas swallowed, clearly terrified of Gavin.
"I attend the Shifter Academy. It''s rated the top school in the world. I just
transferred a few days ago and Judy was assigned to be my tutor for the next few weeks," Lukas exined.
"It''s a job," I further exined. "His family is paying me."
"I didn''t approve of you getting another job," Gavin said, his eyes finally finding
mine and I could see the inner turmoil within them.
My jaw nearly dropped at his bold statement.
"I''m sorry, I didn''t think I needed to ask her permission, great lord," I shot back sarcastically, making Lukas suck in a sharp breath. I''m sure he''s never heard anyone speak to a Lycan like this before, but my retationship with Gavin was...plicated.
"Did you not read the contract I had you sign?"
"You mean the 500-page book? I must have missed it," I muttered, rolling my eyes. "Are we done here? Lukas needs to get going. It''ste and you''re dying his travels home."
"Where are you staying?" Gavin asked.
"I got a dorm at the academy," Lukas told him, shuffling awkwardly in his shoes.
"The Academy is public domain
stated in the school handbook which was signed by each of the Lycan Chairmen," I reminded him. "He''s not breaking any rules. I didn''t tell Kim that this was your property and for that I apologize. But you have no right to be upset with him over this. If you are to be upset with anyone, it should be me."
