Chapter 0221

Judys POV I stared at Ethan in shock ; his face was so serious , and his eyes were flaring with anger as he glared at me .

He was holding my wrist so tightly that it actually hurt .

But I was about to grab him and throw him to the ground ; with all my training , I knew I could take him down in a heartbeat .

I never used my strength on him before because I didnt want him to feel bad about himself , but I didnt care anymore .

He hurt me for the last time , I wasnt going to let him get away with this .

Just as I grabbed his arm , Ethan went down , blood oozing out of his nose and his grip my wrist immediately dropping .

I staggered backward , confused as to what just happened .

I heard the crunch of his nose , and I knew it was broken .

He yelled out a ton of different curses as he whaled on the ground , covering his bloody and broken nose .

I looked up to see Beta Taylor growling at Ethan , his fist outstretched and a little red from the punch .

Lay your hands on her again and the next it wont be just your nose thats broken , he spat down at Ethan .

I was still in shock , not really registering what had happened until Beta Taylor looked up at me .

Are you okay ? He asked me , studying my face for any potential damage .

I managed to nod and then the fog lifted from my head .

What are you doing here ? I asked him , my eyes narrowed .

I was told to come pick you up .

The paparazzi have been ruthless , and the Alpha wanted someone he trusted to get you through the crowd and to the villa .

I raised my brows at him .

The paparazzi ? I asked .

What do they want ? They want to ask you questions about your relationship with the Alpha , Taylor said with a smirk .

You should see him running around all day trying to get the stories pulled .

He managed to get the paparazzi off his property earlier , but they are ruthless and keep reposting the articles , despite him getting each one pulled .

Right now , they are all over the place , including the mansion youve been staying at .

My heart sank .

So , in other words , it wasnt safe for me to return home .

You asshole , Ethan said as he continued to roll around the ground .

Taylor rolled his eyes and paid him no further attention .

He motioned for me to follow him .

We walked to his waiting car , and I slid into the back seat .

Taylor got into the front seat .

Neither of us spared Ethan another look as the car sped away .

As soon as we left the campus grounds , my mouth nearly dropped .

Taylor wasnt kidding .

The entire place was surrounded by paparazzi .

They were swarming the place with their cameras , trying to get a picture of the moving car .

Thankfully , the windows were tinted so none of them were able to see me .

But It was still unsettling to see them all trying to peer into the window and get a glimpse .

I was not the kind of person who was noticed , so this was bizarre for me .

Chapter 0221 By the time we reached the villa , the paparazzi were long behind us .

There were extra guards outside the front gates , keeping the paparazzi away , so I knew we were safe now .

What about my tutoring session ….noveldrama

and the film crew ? I asked as Taylor parked the car .

The film crew finished up earlier today , he told me .

Youll have your tutoring session here .

Its not safe to return to the mansion just yet .

Gavin spent the day working on it , Gavin was waiting inside when we entered and the flash of relief that went across his eyes didnt go unnoticed by me .

But I was too wound up to find it too sentimental right now .

Im working on it , he assured me before I could utter a single word .

If I have to break every single camera of theirs , I will .

Taylor already told me everything .

Im sure that wont be necessary , I told him .

But who took that photo in the first place ? That was the one thing thats been bothering me all day ; someone was outside of the mansion and snapped that photo .

The thought left me feeling unsettled .

Gavin shook his head .

I dont know , he told me .

But Ill find out and then Ill destroy their phone too .

I smiled , unable to help myself .

He can be so adorable sometimes .

I would have told him that if pack gammas and the Beta didnt surround us .

Is Matt in the parlor already ? I asked , looking around to see if I could get a glimpse of him .

Yes , Gavin replied .

By the time your tutoring session is over , itll be safe for you to return to the mansion .

You have my word .

I nodded , still feeling unsure , but trusting him .

I stepped around him to head towards the parlor , but he grabbed my arm to stop me .

My entire body lit from his touch ; warmth spread across my cheeks and an electric sensation formed where his fingers up were .

Well talk later , okay ? I nibbled on my bottom lip , hoping that the others didnt see how red my face was getting .

Okay , I replied before I turned and went to join Matt in the parlor .

I was surprised that he was already hard at work on his homework .

I raised my brows as 1 hut the door behind me .

Whats all this ? I asked him , pointing towards his 3 open books , a scatter of paper , and his notebook which he was messily writing his notes in .
