Chapter 489
He handed me the phone that we confiscated from Sammy and pressed the play button. I watched as the big black wolf leapt in the air and rescued Judy. My stomach twisted at the sight; I wondered if Judy knew that it was Sammy that saved her.
The office door opened again, and Taylor walked in.
"We were able to get the news articles down," Taylor announced. "The media are on their way here to take a statement from you. I took the liberty of contacting Mica and Jeremy as well; they are sending over proof and statements of their own to plea for you. I didn't bother with Levi because I have a feeling he might be behind this considering it was done by his daughter." He paused and turned to Derek. "You did tell him that part, right?"
Derek nodded.
"Yes, I just informed him," Derek confirmed.
"Good work, both of you," I said, sitting at my desk, trying to calm myself down. "Once I make my statement with the other Lycan's backing me up and the proof they provide, it should clear Judy's name so no one will think she cheated. This better be settled by the end of the night."noveldrama
They both nodded, their faces ashen.
"What a mess," Taylor murmured.
"Are you going to do what your mother says and stop seeing her?" Derek asked, his eyes watching me carefully.
I scoffed.
"When have I ever listened to my mother?" I asked, my eyes narrowed. "Now both of you, get out. I have a phone call to make. Oh, and Derek, bring Sammy to me
in silver cuffs. I have some words for her and then take her to the pack police station. I want her in a holding cell until we figure out what to do with her."
He nodded.
"Keep in mind, she's a Lycan's daughter... we can't exactly kill her unless you want to start a war," Taylor reminded me.
I rolled my eyes.
"For now, I just want answers."
Taylor nodded.
After a minute of silence, they finally left me alone in my office. I grabbed my phone and dialed a specific number before pressing it to my ear, waiting with bated breath.
"Alpha Landry," Richard Montague said on the other end of the line. "What can I do for you?"
"Delta Richard, have you seen the news this evening?" I asked, my voice coming out strong as my Alpha aura rolled off me in waves, mixed with the strength of my Lycan aura.
He cleared his throat, his tone coming out strained.
"Yes," he replied. "I've seen the article."
I let out a breath, wondering if he's already confronted Judy about it.
"I wanted you to know that I'm taking care of it. Your daughter's name will be cleared by the end of the night. The article insinuates that she won because of her relationship with me, when that's the furthest thing from the truth and we have proof of that."
There was nothing but silence on the other end.
"Is that Gavin?" I asked Judy ask softly, her voice sounding strained and broken. Immediately my heart lurched at the sound of her voice. She was upset, that much was obvious.
Of course she was upset, her name was being dragged through the mud and her family was probably reprimanding her for it. A surge of anger Coursed through me and had to swallow it down before I said something to her father that I would regret. More than anything, I just wanted to pull Judy into my arms and tell her that it was going to be okay... that I would fix it.
Richard didn't reply to his daughter.
"I trust that you will have it handled, Alpha," he stated, his tone hardening. "And I trust that you'll do right by my daughter and stay away from her. I mean no disrespect, but as a father, I'm sure you can understand my concern. Your relationship with her is inappropriate and I won't have it tainting my daughter's reputation."
With those words spoken, Richard hung up the phone, cutting our ties, leaving me
staring at the phone screen, my jaw slacked.
The door opened to my office and Derek ran in breathless.
"Alpha, Sammy is gone."
