NovelEndChapter 0381 She frowned as she watchedwalk towards the training center; there were two vending machines right outside the door. One with healthy snacks, and the other with waters, Gatorades, and energy drinks.
"You know those aren't good for you, right?" She asked, following after me. "Plus, you might crash out later." I went to grab my wallet from my bag to grab ssingles, ignoring her warning. I grabbed a few dollars and chose the drink that didn't sound awful. As soon as the can popped out, I opened it and took a sip, wincing at the taste.
She frowned atand folded her arms across her chest.
"Seriously, what's wrong with you?" She asked. "You seem off... not yourself. Are you focused because this part of the competition is crucial?" "I'll be ready," I told her. "You don't need to worry about me. Just worry about yourself." She went to open her mouth to speak again but closed it when she saw Gavin approaching. He walked with determination in his steps and my entire body froze at the sight of him. His shirt was off and the sweat on his muscly body indicated he either cfrom the gym, or he got another type of workout this morning. The thought turned my stomach.
I refused to break down in front of him though. I had to keep myself strong.
"Can we talk?" He asked, ignoring Tabby's presence.

I took another sip of my drink without meeting his eyes.
"Those aren't good for you," he said, narrowing his eyes. "You should drink water before the competition." "I'll be fine," I told him. "I don't need you to be concerned abouttoo." "Hey, wait," he said before I could turn around and walk away. "What's wrong with you? Did you sleep last night?" I pressed my lips in a thin line, not wanting to get into why I hadn't slept. Clearly Daisy didn't tell him about my visit last night or about how little talk.
"I slept fine," I lied.
"Judy, look at me," he demanded.
My traitorous body immediately met his eyes; I was convinced that he Alpha commanded me, making it impossible forto resist. Upon seeing the look on my face and the pain in my eyes, his eyes darkened.
"What's wrong?" His voice dropped to a mere whisper.
I pressed my lips in a thin line, refusing to cry in front of him.
"Why do you care?" I asked him.
Was about to turn away, but he grabbed my arm and pulledthrough the training center doors; there weren't many in the training center at this hour, and there were fewer watching eyes, so he'd be able to talk toin private.
He pressedagainst a wall, his body mere inches from mine.
"I'm not in the mood for your mind games, Judy. Tellwhat the fuck is wrong before I compel you to tell me," he growled, his wolf flashing through his eyes.
I stared at him in shock; he wouldn't dare... would he? "I know you were with Daisy last night," I said, my tone filled with a vulnerability I hated that was leaking through.
His eyes flashed something that I didn't recognize; my heart was in my throat, and I wanted to push off him and run for the hills, but I remained stagnant.

"My relationship with Daisy isn't yourconcern," he finally said crushing my heart even further.
"We've been sleeping together; I thought I deserved to know-if there was another woman involved," I said through my teeth. His eyes flashed dangerously.
"There isn't-" he started to say, but he was soon interrupted by a familiar voice.
"Oh, Gavin. There you are," Daisy said, approaching us, a frown marring her lips as she looked between Gavin and me. Her eyes darkened when she saw how close Gavin was toand then she gazed flickered back to him. "I don't mean to interrupt. I thought we could watch the finals together..." He opened his mouth to speak, but I spoke first.
"You're not interrupting," I said quickly. "We were just finished here." I pushed him off and started towards the door, but just as I reached the door, I turned back to him, his eyes remained on mine, dark and trying hard to keep his control.
"I deserved to know the truth," I whispered.
With that, I turned and walked out of the training center.
