GoodReadChapter 387 As they started to carry her away, she stopped them just as they were passing me. Her eyes flickered down to me, a show of respect lingering there, and then to my surprise, she gavea soft smile.
"I knew you'd be a fierce competitor," she said, holding her hand out toto grasp. "Congratulations. It was an honor to meet you, Judy Montague." I grasped her hand in a firm handshake, my entire body trembling and my eyes wide as I stared at her.
Then she released my hand, and they carried her away, leavingstanding in the middle of the arena, completely alone... and still very naked.
The second she was gone, it was like someone turned on a switch because the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers, rattling my brain, bringingback to reality.
"And we have a winner!!" The announcer said through the loudspeaker; drones circled me, capturing every angle that they could, making sure to leave nothing out. "Congratulations Judy Montague! You won the Gamma Competition!!!" The crowd went absolutely nuts as I stood frozen; I won? I actually won?! I barely noticed when people ran onto the arena grounds and rushed to me, Nan and Irene being two of them. Nan immediately wrappedin her arms and squealed loudly.
"Judy! Did you hear them! You won!!" She was referring to the fact that I hadn't moved an inch.

I was surrounded by a huge crowd; all trying to get pictures and askquestions. It was an overwhelming feeling for sure; my heart was in my throat. Paparazzi started to swarm the place and suddenly, I had all these cameras on me.
Before I could open my mouth to speak, there was a loud roar, silencing almost everyone.
I turned in the direction of the roar, and saw that the crowd was parting, making way for the Lycans. Gavin's eyes were wild as he stared around at everyone. He looked like he was about to fight everyone in the world.
Levi was the one who approachedfirst.
"Congratulations Miss Montague," he said, bowing his head respectfully. "How about we go somewhere and talk... away from prying ears. I'm sure you are exhausted and would like to recover your own injuries as well." I glanced down at my scratches and cuts, my face reddening. I was hyper aware that I was still very naked; I had no idea where I left my clothes.
I nodded and just before I could turn away and hurry towards the training center, he wrapped a blanket around my body, shieldingfrom the views of everyone. I was grateful to him for that, and I thanked him with a small smile.
I swear I heard Gavin hiss, but I ignored it. Daisy was still seated in the stadium, watching him carefully and I wasn't going to be the reason they had trouble in paradise. I felt sick to my stomach at the thought of it though, but I swallowed it down.
"We'll ctoo," Nan said, Irene nodding along.
Levi looked like he wanted to refuse but I interrupted him before he could say anything.
"That'd be great," I said quickly; I really didn't want to be alone with Levi, especially naked like this.
He looked annoyed, but he bit his tongue and forced a smile, which madefeel even more wary about him. "Judy!" Matt yelled as he ran into my arms, huggingtightly. "That was incredible! You were badass! I can't wait to go back to school and tell everyone that my tutor won the gamma competition." I let myself smile, my heart warmed at his eagerness and pride. I rubbed his head thoughtfully.
"I'm glad you were here to see it," I told him gently.
Irene turned to Chester.

Chester nodded, glancing at Nan who surprisingly gave him small smile, making his box smallerhile, relax slightly. Chester turned toand put a hand on my shoulder.
"Congrats," he said proudly. "I knew you could do it. Never doubted you for a second."
I chuckled, and it felt good to laugh for a second. My heart was om momentarily at ease... this was E' everything I wanted... I actually won.
But then my eyes flickered to Gavin who was watching me, his eyes dark with something unspoken and it was drivingcrazy not knowing what he was thinking. I didn't bother asking him though; not in front of all these people.
"Con," Levi said, urging us forward while the other Lycans kept the crowd back, givingspace.
I finally pulled my eyes away from Gavin and nodded, following Levi with my friends behind me.
