Chapter 0196
I didn’t realize what I was doing until everybody turned to stare at me. My wolf was furious at the sight of Skyla all over Gavin and I could hardly contain her. She wanted blood and I wasn’t sure if I could hold her back fully. She had never acted like this before and had to admit, I was a bit worried.
I felt Matt’s hand wrap around my wrist and that was the only thing that started to calm me. Even my wolf knew she couldn’t lose control with a child present. I took a steady deep breath and released it shakily. My eyes found Gavin’s and he didn’t look pleased with my outburst. He said something to Skyla who stepped away from him, her hands tucked in at her sides, and her eyes never left mine. She didn’t look pleased either; the others just looked at me curiously and were a little amused. I’m sure they lived for this kind of drama, and they were hoping something exciting would happen sooner or later.
Before I could grasp what was happening, Gavin was beside me. He grabbed my wrist and yanked me along with him and into the villa. I nearly stumbled over my feet in the process. I could feel his anger rolling off him in waves and it made me that much more nervous. I had never felt this type of anger coming off him before and it made it that much worse knowing it was directed at me.
When we were far enough away, he finally stopped walking and released his hold on me. He turned to face me, and I could see the anger crossing his face.
“Is this arrangement of ours too much for you?”
I was stunned by his question.
“W…what?” I asked him, my resolve fading.
“Is this going to be an issue? Are other women being around me? Because if it is, we should stop with this arrangement and just be boss and employer again. You can still remain in the mansion but-”
“I don’t know what happened,” I said quickly. “My wolf momentarily lost her mind, but she’s fine now.” He was quiet for a moment as he scanned my face.
“You made a fool out of yourself out there. You knew they were shooting today and shouldn’t have come out there. Didn’t Irene give you the notice?”
I frowned and grabbed my phone from my pocket. Irene hadn’t texted me at all. I knew she was upset with me about something, but why would she sabotage me like that? I glanced at Gavin and bit my lower lip.
“I must have missed her text,” I mumbled, not wanting to pin him against his daughter. I didn’t want to cause issues with the Landry family.
“I have to do damage. If you are going to act like a child, then you can leave. Do your tutoring sessions elsewhere,” he snapped before he turned his back on me. 1
His words were harsh, and they felt like a slap in the face. I wasn’t sure what to say or do, so I stood there, watching him walk away. A moment later, Matt joined me. He had a concerned frown on his lips. “Are you okay, Judy?” He asked.

I didn’t want him to think that I was upset, so I forced a smile and nodded.
“Yeah,” I told him. “Let’s do some training in the villa’s gym today,” I suggested.

He nodded and we headed to the back of the villa and into the gym. We spent the next hour training and by the time we were done, we were both exhausted.
As I was leaving, I got a glimpse of Irene who was walking out of the kitchen. She froze when she spotted. me, and her frown was evident.
“Why didn’t you tell me that they were filming on the training grounds today?” I asked her, folding her arms across my chest.
“It must have slipped my mind,” she said, shrugging one of her shoulders as she started to walk towards the stairs.
“Is there a problem between us, Irene?” I asked her, stopping her from getting too far.
“Why would you think there’s a problem?” She asked, a little too innocently.
Her tone spoke volumes, and I realized she had been planning against me. She was angry with me and for reasons I wasn’t sure of. My frown deepened as my cheeks grew hot.
“What had I done wrong to make you dislike me? I thought you wanted to be friends, but you aren’t acting like a friend, Irene,” I told her.
She was silent for a moment before she let out a bitter laugh. She spun on her heel and glared at me, her eyes icy and sending a chill down my spine.
