Third Person POV“I don’t mix personal relationships with other matters,” Gavin replied as he sat back in his seat and continued to stare out the window. He didn’t want to continue this conversation. He had already made up his mind that he wasn’t to see Judy Montague again.“Or are you just afraid,”
I decided to just be as honest as I could.“My family recently fell upon some hardships, and we could use the extra money. I saw the salary you are offering to tutor this child, and it was an opportunity I couldn’t resist. It’s also a job I can do after my own school hours, so my studies won’t fall
Judy’s POV“Are you afraid of me?” I asked the boy, my eyes narrowed. “Or are you incapable of asking me for my name yourself?”Matthew looked stunned by my directness. I was never one to sugarcoat anything and clearly his former tutors were exactly that type. His cheeks turned a bright shade of pin
I am not threatening, I kept saying in my mind. I am a friend. Shadow sniffed my fingers, and I lowered my hand to the ground. Then, to everyone’s surprise, Shadow licked my fingertips and trotted the rest of the way over to me, allowing me to pet him. I smiled as my fingers ran through his soft fu
Judy’s POV“Adam, how could you just let anyone walk into my home? Is there no longer an order for this household? You also left her alone with my son. What were you thinking?”Matt had already gone over to his father, and I was standing there, my eyes glued to Gavin’s. I couldn’t believe that he wa
He handed me back the resume without saying a word to me, but his eyes scanned me briefly before he shifted his attention to his son. The atmosphere had grown tense, almost awkward. Matt was staring back and forth between me and his father, and I could see the questions lurking in his eyes.“And wha
Judy’s POVI watched Gavin’s Adam’s apple move slightly.I hadn’t realized how closely I was standing to him until he stood a bit straighter and tilted his head towards me. I swallowed the lump wedged in my throat and fought the strange urge to reach out and touch him.What was wrong with me lately?
“I wanted to see what she’d do,” he said with a shrug.“I’ve had enough of this!” Gavin growled. “You are grounded until I say otherwise.”“W…what?” Matt cried. “But… but I was just joking…”Tears filled Matt’s eyes, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel bad for the kid. I mean, it was only w
Tyler remained quiet as he continued to tighten his hold around Nan’s aching wrist as he pulled her through the main section of the resort. They started to pass the check-in/out section when Nan’s senses were practically on fire, and her wolf nearly surged forward.She had to forcefully pull her bac

At that moment, I thanked the heavens for not sending me into this cave alone. Thank Goddess Tabby had come with me.Once I was ready, I shifted into my wolf form and lunged at the bear.Yes, my wolf was much smaller than the bear, but she was fierce, and she wouldn’t back down from a fight. She als
Judy’s POV“Do you really think they’d hide a flag in a cave that could hardly be seen?” Tabby asked as we made our way through the dark cave. The drone that was above our heads had gone off to find someone they could actually keep an eye on, refusing to follow us into the cave.Now that I was think
“Something told me I didn’t have a choice,” she said softly. “You managed to find my apartment. It scared me.”Stella didn’t give Irene her phone number the last time they met; actually, Irene had one of her men track and find Stella on their own time. It didn’t take them long to find the rundown ap
Third Person POVIn the viewing room, the Lycans and the judges watched as the competitors fought for survival. Gavin stared at the screen, his eyes on Judy as she fought with the other wolves, nearly losing her life in the process. It was taking everything he had not to fly to that island and get h
I was still in disbelief over it.“Wait what??” She asked, dumbfounded. “She healed you and she wasn’t part of our team?”“She healed me by licking the wound,” I emphasized. “It was so strange. And then she just disappeared.”“You don’t know where she went??” Tabby gasped.“No,” I admitted. “But I w
Judy’s POVWhen I returned to the camp, Tabby was the one who greeted me first.“Are you okay?” She asked, rushing toward me.I wasn’t sure what to say. I was fine now, though I was a bit sore from the fight, all the wounds I had from it were completely healed.I touched my neck, frowning at the mem
Sherri and some others started to cut the meat off the deer, using some tools they created after gathering supplies from foraging. I was surprised they were able to create handy tools so quickly. We had only been here for a couple of hours, and we were already making some serious progress.A howl in
