Chapter : 877

Judy’s POV

“I’ll come with you,” I said before I could think better of it.

Gavin raised his brows.

“Weren’t you just telling me that you weren’t feeling good?” He asked as he rested his warm palms on my belly, feeling our baby’s soft flutter. “Maybe you should just get into bed and rest. I can have someone bring you soup later.”

“No, I’m feeling fine,” I tell him, a bit hurriedly. “It’s passing. I think it was just a little gas or something. Nothing to be alarmed about. We can go to the packhouse.”

He stared at me for a moment longer, a crease forming between his brows. “Are you sure?” He asked after a moment of pause.

I nodded.

“Yes,” I said, wrapping my arms around his waist and pulling myself close to his chest as I peered up at him. “I want to go to the packhouse with you and see what the situation is. Maybe I can help. I am going to be the Luna after all… so I should be prepared for stuff like this.”

I caught Irene’s wide eyes, and she mouthed, “What are you doing?”

To which I mouthed back, “I have no idea.”

Gavin ran his fingers through my hair and smiled down at me; he leaned down and kissed my lips softly.

“Okay,” he finally relented. “I’ll get the car ready. Just get your shoes and coat, and we will get out of here.”

Not long before, we left the villa and headed towards the packhouse as a family. My heart was racing in my chest; I had no idea what I was doing or why I suggested going to the packhouse with him… but I just knew that if I wasn’t with him, they might convince him that I’m not the right one for him.

I already lost one mate… I didn’t want to lose another. I pressed the palms of my hands to my belly as if I could use our baby to ground me. I refused to let my son grow up without a father because of some she-wolves.

I felt Gavin’s warm hand on my thigh and looked over at him; he kept sparing small glances in my direction.

“Are you okay?” He asked. “You seem lost in thought.”

I stared at the side of his face while

an e

his eyes remained fixed on the road in front of us. I pulled my eyes away from his face and stared down. my lap where my hands were resting. I was wearing a gorgeous red dress that matched thered lipstick on my lips. My hair was curled and clipped to the side with a diamond barrette, and I wore black heels with a diamond strap… all real diamonds, which Irene liked to point out while she got me dressed.

The car slowed, and my heart thudded rapidly against my chest; there were so many cars parked outside of the packhouse that Gavin had trouble getting through to get to his designated parking space.

Once we were parked and out of the car, Gavin was quick to walk up the steps of the packhouse, his persona complete business now. I took hold of Matt’s hand and we walked

behind who also walked with

her head held high as if she owned the world.

By the time we followed the trail to the back of the packhouse, my entire mouth fell open. It was like a whole event happening right before my eyes… only I was the reason behind it.

My face was on signs with crosses along each image. Some signs read: Down with the Luna.

And:

We don’t want Judy!

My heart cracked at the sight of it; it had to be the entire pack….. maybe even more so. I swear I recognized some from my home pack, which broke my heart even

more.

“Holy shit,” Irene whispered, her face pale as she stared around at the sight.

“We deserve better than to have a cheater as a Luna!” Olivia shouted over the megaphone. “It’s not fair that we get a downgrade when we have the most powerful Lycan Chairmen as our Alpha! We should be having an equally strong Luna!”

“What the hell is going on here?!” Gavin barked, his voice echoing across the packhouse yards and making everyone turn their bodies to face him. Their eyes grew wide, and some of them grew pale, but none of them backed down.

“Alpha Landry, Olivia called for his attention, still standing in front of everybody with a megaphone in her hand. “As members of your pack, we disagree with who you have chosen to be our future Luna. We think Judy is a gold-digging whore who has never even considered being a Luna before, let alone trained for it… We deserve better than a wannabe like her.”
