Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
I wasnt aware you and Judy knew one another, she pointed out, her brows raised.
Judy went to speak, but I cut her off.
My relationship with Miss Montague isnt your concern, I told her.
If youll excuse us.
I didnt wait for Judy to argue, I pulled her along with me and went back towards the table I was seated at.
She gawked at me, her cheeks flushed red.
I could have handled that, she said, staring at the ground as we walked.
You shouldnt have to, I murmured.
We sat at the table, and I slid a plate of food in her direction.
She began to nibble without speaking a word.
Is everything okay? Raymond asked, looking at Judy and then back at me.
I nodded.
As a Lycan, Im required to notice everything that goes on around me, I explained.
I could hear those girls being disrespectful, so I went over to offer my assistance.
I apologize, Alpha.
This is not the impression I wanted you to have for your first time in my home.
I assure you, its not always like this.
I nodded as I took a sip of my wine.
If my daughter is going to be married into this family, Ill need to establish some trust between us.
If I cant trust you with packmates, how can I trust you with my daughter? I asked, narrowing my eyes at him.
You can trust us, he assured me.
I will prove that to you, Alpha.
Id like to see you try, I murmured.
We wont let you down, Raymond said confidently.
I nodded.
We continued to talk for the next hour and soon, people started to leave the party.
Im going to take off, Judys mother said to her.
Are you coming home with me? Judy glanced in my direction briefly before looking at her mother.
I have to work tonight.
Ill just catch an Uber, she told her.
Her mother nodded and then hugged her.
Think about what we talked about earlier, she whispered to Judy.
We will talk more about it later.
I wondered what it was that they spoke about, but I knew it wasnt my business.
Judy looked uneasy though, but she nodded and watched as her mother left.
I couldnt help but notice Judy staring after her, seeming a bit lost in thought.
I knew this was my queue to get her out of there ; shed had enough torture for one day.
I should be going too, I said, standing to my feet.
I glanced at Judy.
Let me give you a ride.
She looked as if she was about to protest, but then she thought better of it and gave me a short nod.
Thank you, she said softly.
You arent going home with your mother? Meredith asked with her brows raised.
Judy shook her head.
I have to go to work, she explained.
Oh, I wasnt aware you were working, Meredith said with a frown.
And what is it you do? Im a tutor, she blurted.
I tutor a child in Alpha Landrys pack.
Which is why hes going to give me a ride.
Meredith looked at me for a moment and then back at Judy before nodding ; she didnt look completely convinced, but it wasnt on us to convince her of anything.
?? Lets go, I urged Judy as I started to walk away.
Thank you for coming, Alpha.
It was a pleasure to meet you, Meredith said as she hurried over to me.
I wish I could say the same, I murmured, shocking her.

Gavins POV
The rage I felt when I saw Ethans family tormenting Judy was beyond what I had ever felt in my life.
I was honestly surprised that I was able to control myself.
Staying at this barbeque wasnt something I wanted to do, but Judy pleaded with me to let it go for right now and I wasnt going to leave without her.
I watched her mingling with a few girls her age, and she looked rather uncomfortable.
Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink, I used my Lycan hearing to listen to their conversation, completely ignoring what Raymond Cash was saying on the other side of me.
It must be really embarrassing for you to watch your fated mate with another she wolf, one of the girls said.
Im surprised you bothered showing up, the other said.
I let out a small growl, which seemed to startle the table I was sitting at.
