The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 140

Chapter 0140 Gavins POV The rage I felt when I saw Ethans family tormenting Judy was beyond what I had ever felt in my life .

I was honestly surprised that I was able to control myself .

Staying at this barbeque wasnt something I wanted to do , but Judy pleaded with me to let it go for right now and I wasnt going to leave without her .

I watched her mingling with a few girls her age , and she looked rather uncomfortable .

Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink , I used my Lycan hearing to listen to their conversation , completely ignoring what Raymond Cash was saying on the other side of me .

It must be really embarrassing for you to watch your fated mate with another she wolf , one of the girls said .

Im surprised you bothered showing up , the other said .

I let out a small growl , which seemed to startle the table I was sitting at .

It brought me back to the current moment and I saw eyes on me .

I cleared my throat and forced a smile .

I apologize , I said as I stood to my feet .

If youll excuse me for a minute .

I wasnt sure what I was going to do , but I couldnt sit there , and watch Judy be embarrassed over what these pointless she wolves were saying to her .

I walked towards them as they continued their conversation and without thinking , I draped an arm around Judys shoulders .

Ladies , I said to them , making their jaw drop .

If you dont mind , Im going to steal Miss Montague .

A… Alpha Gavin Landry ? One of them stammered , her eyes large as she stared up at me .

I … Its an honor … I stared at her with indifference , without replying .

The other girl was looking between Judy and me , her eyes quizzical .

I wasnt aware you and Judy knew one another , she pointed out , her brows raised .

Judy went to speak , but I cut her off .

My relationship with Miss Montague isnt your concern , I told her .

If youll excuse us .

I didnt wait for Judy to argue , I pulled her along with me and went back towards the table I was seated at .

She gawked at me , her cheeks flushed red .

I could have handled that , she said , staring at the ground as we walked .

You shouldnt have to , I murmured .

We sat at the table , and I slid a plate of food in her direction .

She began to nibble without speaking a word .

Is everything okay ? Raymond asked , looking at Judy and then back at me .

I nodded .

As a Lycan , Im required to notice everything that goes on around me , I explained .noveldrama

I could hear those girls being disrespectful , so I went over to offer my assistance .

I apologize , Alpha .

This is not the impression I wanted you to have for your first time in my home .

I assure you , its not always like this .

I nodded as I took a sip of my wine .
