Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
I took a long and steady sip of the drink, wincing at the bitter taste.
I really wasnt a fan of champagne, but I needed something to take the edge off.
Lets just enjoy the rest of the party, she said, giving me a faint smile.
He didnt revoke your reward, did he? I shook my head.
No, he didnt, I answered.
But I never got to make my speech.
Im kind of bummed about that.
Im sorry that bitch ruined your mornent, Nan pouted.
Karma will come back around and bite her in the ass.
Im sure of it.
I took another long sip of the champagne until the glass was empty.
I need another one of these, I murmured.
Its an open bar, she said, motioning towards the bar.
Its sponsored by the Landry Foundation, as is this entire award ceremony.
I found gh the grapevine that Gavin is a huge shareholder in this school.
He pretty much owns the place.
I raised my brows at her words ; this was new information to me as well.
I walked over to the bar to get another drink.
Congratulations on the reward, a man said from beside me.
When I turned, I saw Alpha Edward seated beside me.
Alpha Edward was an Alpha to a smaller nearby pack, and he also always attended these types of ceremonies, as did a ton of other nearby Alphas if they had pack members who were candidates.
You dont think Im unworthy? I asked, feeling the impact of the alcohol as I continued to sip my drink.
I think if anyone deserved this reward, it would be you, he said, winking at me.
I was rooting for you.
I appreciate that, Alpha, I told him.
One of the candidates belonged to Edwards park, so Im surprised he was rooting for me and not her.
But I chose not to say anything about it.
Can I buy you another drink? He asked.
Its an open bar.
Then, let me order you another drink, he rephrased.
I was on my second glass and already feeling a bit dizzy, but wasnt going to pass up the offer, I just wanted to numb the pain and embarrassment, Yes, that would be great.
Thank you, I told him.
Can we get the lady something a little stronger? She seems to need it, He said to the bartender.
How about a tequila shot? Iknew that was a dangerous road to travel, but I found mys If nodding my head, not fully caring that I was probably making a huge mistake,
Ill take care of you tonight, Alpha Edward told me softly, Dont worry about a thing.
You just focus on having fun and forget about that terrible ceremony.
I smiled, grateful to him.
After my 3 ( rd ) tequila shot, I could barely walk.
As soon as slid off the barstool, I nearly fell to the ground.
Thankfully, Alpha Edward was there to catch me.
He had his arms wrapped around my body and my face was pressed against his chest as he caressed my back almost lovingly.
I had a weird feeling about his touch, and I didnt particularly like it, but I was too far gone to do anything about it.
Come on, you can come home with me, he whispered into my ear.
I could hardly even feel my lips so I remained silent.
He was practically dragging me out of the dining hall.
I couldnt use my feet, so most of my weight was being supported by Alpha Edward.
I briefly wondered where Nan was, but I brushed the thought out of my mind as we reached the doorway and the Alpha lifted me off the ground cradling me bridal style.
My head fell limp against his chest.
I murmured something incoherent, and I felt the rumbling of his chest as he chuckled.
Alpha ! I heard a female saying as he rushed towards us.
I kept my eyes closed because the entire room was spinning, so I wasnt sure who it was, but her voice sounded so familiar.
What are you doing? You shouldnt be taking this girl anywhere.
Shes far too drunk.
We are too consenting adults, Alpha Edward told her simply.
Its her choice and she clearly wants to go with Ine Before she could say anything, another voice spoke in a low and threatening tone.
Walk away before I break your arms and legs.
Alpha Edward tensed immediately.
I tried to stop him, Sir, the woman said.
?? When I opened my eyes slightly, I saw that she was the dears assistant, Gavin stood beside her ; his eyes fixed on me.
Alpha Edward held me even tighter.
Its okay, Alpha.
I know her quite well.
Ill take her home I wont ask you again, Gavin said through his teeth.
Or your title will be stripped from you, and youll never be able to walk again.
