Gavin’s POV
I woke up alone this morning.
I’m not the type of guy who wakes up in bed alone after a night of sex. Not that I often have nights of sex… but still, women don’t typically sneak away from me. I reached over, my eyes still closed and groggy from sleep, and touched the cold bedsheets beside me, realizing Judy wasn’t in bed with me. It was enough to pry my eyes open and look over at her side of the bed, only to find it empty.
I scowled as I sat up.
Had she seriously left me? What the actual fuck??
I got up and grabbed my clothes before heading into the shower. Her bathroom was cute; it was smaller than what I’m used to, but it smelled like her, so I relished in it. Her lavender soap was sitting on the edge of the shower, and her rose-scented shampoo and conditioner sat on the shelf. She had a purple loofah and a couple of washcloths as well.
The shower was dry, giving me the indication that she didn’t bother showering this morning. She was in such a rush to leave me that she skipped a shower. The thought sent my mind into a spiral, and my wolf let out a low growl.
I turned on the shower and stepped inside; it had nice water pressure, though it’s not as good as the pressure in my villa… I had to remind myself this was a small condo, not my villa or even my mansion.
Once I finished showering, I turned it off and stepped out, wrapping a towel around my waist.
I glared at myself in the mirror; why the fuck would she leave without saying anything? It didn’t make any sense; I thought we had a good night last night, but perhaps I was mistaken.
I brushed my teeth and styled my hair. Then I got dressed and sprayed some cologne onto my body, making her bathroom smell a little bit like me as well. A small claim that I didn’t realize I was doing.
Once I got dressed, I decided to head to the packhouse. I thought about calling for a ride, but once I stepped outside, it was nice enough to walk. It’s not like the packhouse was far and the pack was small… very small.
When I reached the packhouse, Judy’s scent was strong. I knew right away that she was here, and I had to suppress a growl as aggravation attacked my chest.
I stepped into the packhouse and ignored the stares I was getting; I was used to it, considering I am a Lycan wolf.
“Alpha Landry,” a familiar voice said from nearby. I looked to my right to see Luna Lucy walking towards me. She had a wide smile on her lips upon seeing me. “I never got a chance to thank you for that incredible speech you gave last night. You made the pack feel better and safer, and that’s the only thing I really want for my packmates.”
I shake my head and hold up my hand.
“It’s not a problem,” I tell her. “I get it.” Most know about my rivalry with Alpha Levi, but I wasn’t going to bring it up to her at this moment. The less I spoke about the matter, the better it would be. I wasn’t going to feed the gossip mill, and something told me that Lucy liked the gossip.
She nodded.
“Are you here to speak with Sampson?” She asked. “He’s in his office speaking with Judy.”
My wolf bristled at the mention of Judy.
“Yes,” I lied.
“I’m sure he won’t mind the interruption,” she told me, pointing towards his office down the long hallway. “He’s talking to Judy about her future in the pack.”
