Chapter 0031
Third Person POV
Ethan’s phone rang. He took a sip of his whiskey and put it on the bar in front of him, motioning for the bartender to bring him another.
He cleared his throat before answering the phone.
“You better have good news,” he said without greeting the person on the other end.
“Judy never got fired from her job,” Ethan’s subordinate murmured. “She was able to get Matt to do his work regardless of the videos. Even Adam tried to talk to Alpha Gavin about it, but it was no use. Judy was persuasive and Matt did get all his tasks done.”
Ethan cursed under his breath.
The bartender returned with a fresh glass of whiskey; Ethan nodded his thanks as he took a sip of the drink.
“What about school? Did you do what I asked?” Ethan asked, feeling himself losing patience by the second.
“Yes, I bribed one of her teachers,” his subordinate answered. “He’s going to pin some stuff on Judy and get her expelled.”
“Perfect,” Ethan murmured. “At least that’s one thing I won’t have to worry about.”
“I also spoke to one of her enemies at school, she’s going to dig up some information about Judy and report back to me. Any information I find out I will let you know. You might be able to use it against her.”
“I knew I could count on you,” Ethan replied. “Keep me posted.”
“Will do, boss,” his subordinate said just before the line went dead.
Ethan took a sip of his whiskey, a smile spreading across his lips. Soon, he will get everything he wants. He will marry Irene, become the Alpha, and possess Judy.
Judy’s POV
“I feel way underdressed,” I said, staring at all the students wearing luxurious gowns and designer clothing. I was wearing a nice blouse and a black tight skirt that hugged my form perfectly; I was dressed for a business function, not a ball.
The function was in the reception hall of the school, and it was decorated beautifully. After the ceremony, I knew there was going to be a feast for a celebration and to thank the students for attending the award ceremony. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous about this ceremony. If I won the award, I would be getting an incredibly good scholarship, and I could use that scholarship to continue my education and not worry about the cost next year. “Why is everybody dressed up so much?” I asked Nan who stood beside me, eagerly looking around.
She peeked over at me with a frown.
“Didn’t you hear?” She asked. “Gavin Landry might actually show up this year. He’s invited every year, but he never attends. However, there’s a rumor going around that he personally told the dean that he would be attending this year. So, all his fan girls are dressed up for the occasion”
A pit formed in the middle of my stomach at the thought of Gavin and his fan girls. I was surprised that he was actually going to be here. Of course, I knew he was invited every year, but I never imagined he would actually show

up to the school award ceremony.
On the stage, there were a few seats lined up, each one with different place cards. My name was in the center seat right next to Carol’s. There were a couple of others on each side of us as well, one of which had already taken their seat and was waiting patiently for the ceremony to begin.
The doors swung open, and I watched as Silver Crescent Gamma warriors piled into the reception hall, surrounding a very powerful Lycan.
Gavin and his men walked into the building as if they owned the place. For a moment, everyone fell silent as they watched them walk down the aisle to find their seats in the front row. I found myself holding my breath, my eyes finding Gavin in the middle of his crew. The girls around the room began their excited chattering and gushing at how handsome he was.
“Wow,” Nan breathed. “He actually showed up.”
“I’m just as surprised,” I admitted, my eyes never leaving Gavin who reached his designated seat.
“If only everyone around here knew that you almost slept with him,” Nan chuckled, shoving me playfully. “They would lose their minds!”
“They will never know,” I told her, shaking my head. “I don’t want to be on their hit list.”
“Hey, Judy,” a friend of mine, Water, said as he paused beside Nan. Walter was a sweet guy that I befriended in high school. He is also one of the top students and a candidate for the scholarship. Unlike Carol, Walter had always been a friendly competitor.
He gave me a broad and toothy smile, making Nan smirk.
“I heard about your family’s financial problems,” Walter went right into saying, making me frown immediately. This was not the topic I wanted to discuss, and I had to bite my tongue before I said something I would regret. I’m really sorry that’s happening.”
“Thank you, Walter,” I said, keeping a plastered smile on my face. “That’s kind of you to say.”
“As you know, my family has a lot of money. If this scholarship doesn’t work out, you should let me pay for your schooling. That way you can save whatever money you have to help your father,” he suggested.
Nan chuckled and nudged Walter with her arm.
“Do you have a crush on her or something, Walter? What kind of offer is that?” She
