Chapter 0140 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 .
It brought me back to the current moment and I saw eyes on me .
I cleared my throat and forced a smile .
I apologize , I said as I stood to my feet .
If youll excuse me for a minute .
I wasnt sure what I was going to do , but I couldnt sit there , and watch Judy be embarrassed over what these pointless she wolves were saying to her .
I walked towards them as they continued their conversation and without thinking , I draped an arm around Judys shoulders .
Ladies , I said to them , making their jaw drop .
If you dont mind , Im going to steal Miss Montague .

A… Alpha Gavin Landry ? One of them stammered , her eyes large as she stared up at me .
I … Its an honor … I stared at her with indifference , without replying .
The other girl was looking between Judy and me , her eyes quizzical .
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 .
