Judys 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 Gavins 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 .

Its such an honor to finally meet you .

I am a huge fan .

Im Lucy I didnt 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 Thornes .

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 Thornes side and usher me gently towards Cavins side .

LL 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 , shes 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 couldnt pull off this stupid lie .

I should have thought more clearly .

What was I thinking saying I was Gavins wife ? Just because I am late to my sons 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 dont understand .

Whats 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 wasnt shocked .

Was Gavin really helping me out of this situation ? Chapter 0070 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 wasnt sure what she was talking about .

Lucys 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 .
