Chapter 0323
Jeremy turned towards me as if just noticing me for the first time.
“I just spoke with your doctor, and they say you’ll be healed for the next round on Tuesday,” he explained.” Congrats on being cleared. You fought a fair game out there and I’m excited to see what more you have in store.”
My eyes grew large at his words; did Jeremy confirm that made It to the next round?
Did that mean I passed?
How was that possible?
I lost this round… I ended up in the infirmary.
“I don’t understand. Did I make it to next week?” I finally asked, my voice coming out a bit hoarse from
dryness.
1 realized I hadn’t had anything to drink since before the match; it had to have been several hours ago.
Jeremy gave me a small smile and a curt nod.
“Despite getting stabbed, your techniques, weapon use, and weapon control were superb. You not only impressed the judges, but you also impressed the Lycans. Congratulations. You’ll get an email with your weekend schedule by tomorrow. Your official notice for moving onto the next round will also be sent to your email.”
My heart swelled.
I actually made it!!
I looked at Gavin, expecting him to be smiling, but he had a dark look in his eyes. His jaw was clenched so tightly T feared he’d break a tooth if he didn’t loosen his mouth. His Adam’s apple bobbed when he swallowed, his eyes never wavery as they poured into the side of Alpha Jeremy’s face.
I pulled my eyes away from Gavin and glanced back at Jeremy who was pretending not to notice the dark look Gavin was shooting him
“Thank you so much. I won’t let you down,” I told him, trying to ease some of the tension building in the room.
“Next week is crucial so you better be on you’re A–game,” he warned. “I don’t want to see you back here. I have a feeling you’ll go far, Miss Montague.”
Something about praise from a Lycan made my heart skip a beat and pride swell in my chest.
Jeremy finally glanced at Gavin and frowned.
“Gavin,” he said, dismissively as he turned towards the doors. “We are holding a meeting tomorrow morning in the conference room before the match. I’ll see you there.”
Gavin didn’t reply, he kept a passive look on his face, folding his arms across his chest. Jeremy turned towards me and gave me a polite smile. After he said goodbye, he left the room without another look in Gavin’s direction.
I suddenly couldn’t take it anymore. I was sick of his hot and cold attitude. I was just told good news and Gavin looked like he wanted to rip someone’s head off their shoulders.
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked after the brewing silence went on for far too long
Just as Gavin opened his mouth to speak, the door swung open, and the doctor stepped into the room. Nan, Tyler, and Sammy followed after him. I wasn’t particularly happy to see Tyler amongst the group, but I was happy to see the others, despite the fact that they interrupted my conversation with Gavin.

I gave him a look that said, “We aren’t done talking!
His eyes darkened and I felt my chest tightening
I forced myself to relax and smile as Nan wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tight.
“I was so worried about you,” she breathed. “I’m so sorry I wasn’t there and that this happened.”
I glanced at Tyler who stood a distance away, his eyes anywhere but me. I knew why Nan wasn’t at the arena and I didn’t like it. I didn’t trust this guy. Nan didn’t belong to him; he wasn’t her mate. Nan’s mate was back home right now and there was no doubt in my mind that he was hurting
“You are looking better than I thought you’d look,” Nan said, pulling way to look at me. “How are you feeling?”
