Chapter 0285

1 caught wind of a couple of girls speaking at the table next to mine .

I took riote of how the girls interacted with one another .

The way one of them had her leg bouncing and the other kept tapping her fingers on the table .

Every little detail mattered because it could help when it counted the more .

The competition didnt start in the pit , it started the second the plane landed in this country .

Every moment was part of the competition , and I had to be careful with what I did and who I spoke to .

I felt a presence beside me and when I turned , I froze Theo was seated beside me .

He had a grin on his face as he looked down at me and my stomach twisted .

I knew he was going to be a problem these next few weeks .

What are you doing ? I asked in a whisper .

He grabbed the nameplate off the seat and showed it to me my eyes grew wide when I realized that was his seat .

Of course , it was , I shouldnt have been surprised that this was my luck .

So , are you seeing anyone ? He asked against my ear , making me instinctively pull away .noveldrama

Thats not any of your concern , I told him , avoiding his gaze .

Well , what if I wanted to take you out ? He asked , that grin never leaves his face .

He was so full of himself .

I dont date the competition , I told him , my eyes narrowed as I finally looked up to meet his eyes .

He was sitting way too close to me for my comfort .

I heard something slamming and shattering across the room , making much of the room , including me , jump .

I turned to see Gavin standing with the eyes of his wolf shining .

He smashed his plate .

Food was everywhere on the table ; even the other Lycans were staring at him , their mouths agape .

The only one who wasnt looking at him was Alpha Levi .

He was sipping on his wine with a smug look on his face .

Had he said something to Gavin to make him angry ? The room had fallen so silent that you could hear a pin drop .

Whats going on ? Theo asked .

Im not sure , I replied , my heart in my throat .

Gavin wasnt looking at me , more like staring at the room as a whole .

He looked down at his plate and muttered something , keeping his tone low enough that not even I could hear him .

He turned and stormed out of the room without a single lock .

My chest tightened .

I had a strange urge to follow him to make sure he was okay or didnt get himself in any trouble .

He was clearly mad about something , and it disrupted the entire room .

A couple of staff members came to clean up the mess and replace his food .

The other Lycans started to talk amongst themselves at Gavins outburst .

Shortly after , the food for the rest of us started to get served , making the entire room smell delicious , I knew I wasnt going to be able to eat … at least not until I made sure Gavin was okay .

1 Excuse me a moment , I said to the table as I stood .

I need to use the restroom .

They nodded as I walked away .

Once I got near the door , I started to speed up .

I pushed through the door and stumbled into the hallway , I looked around , frowning .

Where could he have gone ? As I walked down the hallway , the silence started to feel eecle .

It was deliberate .

It made me freeze all together ; was someone watching ; me Before I could speak , I felt a hand grabbing my wrist .

I spun around , my heart in my throat as I pulled into the nearby closet and pressed against the wall .

I not only recognized the scent but also the body pressed up against me .

G … Gavin ? I asked .

Oh , you remembered my name , he sneered , his lips brushing gross my earlobe as he nipped at it .

I wiggled beneath him , trying to get myself free , but it only made him press into me that much stronger .

Gavin , let me go , I demanded .

Why should ? So , you can go off with my Mr.

Boy ? He seethed ; I could hear the anger and hatred in his tone , and it made me freeze .

Was that why he was upset ? Because Theo was talking to me ? Was Gavin actually jealous ? Youre lucky I didnt kill him right then and there , he growled ; his tone was low and deadly , sending a chill up my spine .

He brushed his lips across the nape of my neck ; I thought my heart was going to beat right out of my chest with how fast it was beating .

If I ever see his hands on you again … he started to say , his voice raspy as he brushed his lips across mine .

Ill make sure its the last thing he does .
