Chapter 0070
Judy’s POV
what exactly is going on in here?” Gavin asked as he stepped into the room; his eyes scanning the situation and then landing on the hand that was still very much wrapped around my wrist, marking it red from the force. I watched Gavin’s eyes darken in fury when he noticed the red marks on my wrist because of the principal.
“Alpha Landry,” Lucy said, bowing her head in respect to Gavin. “It’s such an honor to finally meet you. I am a huge fan. I’m Lucy
“I didn’t ask,” Gavin said, holding up a hand to silence her. She immediately clamped her mouth shut, her cheeks growing pinker by the second. His eyes never left Principal Thorne’s. “Release her hand from
her wrist.”
Principal Thorne immediately released me, and I pulled my hand toward my chest, rubbing my aching wrist. Gavin motioned with his head towards me and his Gammas quickly rushed to retrieve me from Principal Thorne’s side and usher me gently towards Cavin’s side.

Alpha Gavin, there seemed to be a misunderstanding I was only protecting your reputation. This nobody half–whit is pretending to be our wife and the mother of your child,” Principal Thorne said, making my cheeks grow impossibly hot.
“Yeah, she’s a nobody! We were only standing up for your honor and reputation by teaching her a lesson,” Lucy agreed.
Gavin glanced in my direction, and I could feel the questions and judgment circling around his mind. The only thing I could do was hold my head in shame. There was no getting out of this; I was caught and now I was going to pay the price for it. I was probably going to lose my job, and Matt was going to get into even more trouble… all because I couldn’t pull off this stupid lie. I should have thought more clearly.
What was I thinking saying I was Gavin’s wife?
“Just because I am late to my son’s meeting does not give you the right to treat my wife with such disrespect,” Gavin spat, glaring at the principal. I snapped my head up to look at him, shocked by his words. Gavin looked furious as he glared at Principal Thorne and Lucy.
Both their faces had gone completely white as they stared back at him.
“W…wife?” Principal Thorne stammered. “I don’t understand.”
“What’s not to understand?” Gavin asked and to my uter shock, he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his side. “Judy is my wife, and you treated her poorly.”
“But… but you are a bachelor!” Lucy gasped. “How is it possible that you have a wife??”
“Those were all rumors,” Gavin said, snapping her a look. “Judy is my wife and the mother of my child.”
Lucy looked as if she was seconds away from crying while the principal broke out into a cold sweat. They both were at a loss for words, and it would have been comical if I also wasn’t‘ shocked.
Was Gavin really helping me out of this situation?

But why?
When I looked up at him, he was still glaring at them sternly. He was so handsome, even when he was angry. His arm was still wrapped protectively around me, and it took everything I had not to lean into him further and inhale his scent deeply.
“I am so deeply sorry, Mrs. Landry. Please, accept my apology. My receptionist is new and wasn’t sure what she was talking about.”
Lucy’s mouth dropped from being thrown under the bus like that. She whipped around to face him, and her eyes narrowed.
“You were the one trying to have your way with her!” She hissed.
I flinched at the mention of what the principal was about to do to me.
“We are here to talk about Matthew, are we not?” Gavin asked, interrupting their argument.
Principal Thorne bowed his head, keeping his eyes fixed on the ground.
sir. Come into my office,” he said, motioning to the door behind him.
“Lead the way,” Gavin said. He kept his arm around me and pulled me along with him towards the office door. But then he stopped and looked at Taylor. “Deal with her.”
He motioned with his head toward Lucy who paled even more.
“Yes, sir,” Taylor said with a smirk before turning to a very frantic Lucy.
“A… Alpha?” She stammered, trying to get his attention, but he was paying her no mind.
I walked with Gavin into the office and shut the door behind me.
“Please, take a seat,” Principal Thorne said nervously, pointing to the seats in front of the desk as he sat on the other side of his desk
Gavin entwined his fingers through mine, and it felt as if my face was being lit on fire. He ran his thumb across the red markings on my wrist and his eyes darkened, making me grimace. I wondered if it was me, he was mad at, or Principal Thorne.
