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
Judy’s POVI was stunned to see Ethan standing before me, next to Irene. My wolf instantly hid herself in the furthest part of my mind, closing herself off from even me.“Ethan?” Irene said again, touching his arm. He was busy glaring at me with dark eyes to notice that his fiancé was trying to get
He always told me that he wanted my gifts to be unexpected and that it’s not fun if I know what I’m getting. I eventually stopped asking him for the necklace in hopes that he would get it for me, but he never did. I assumed he just forgot.Seeing that he got that necklace for another woman caused me
Judy’s POV“I should probably get going,” I said quickly, pulling my eyes away from Ethan. “Thank you for the opportunity, Alpha. Perhaps we can exchange numbers so we can discuss my schedule. I can sign the contract when I return.”Gavin stared down at me for a moment; his face hard to read.“Adam
I saw Gavins’ nostrils flaring but he didn’t say anything in response. He continued to glare at Lukas until he was even more uncomfortable than he was a moment ago.“I really should go,” he said. “It was nice to officially meet you, Alpha.”Lukas was smart not to give me another hug or say anything
Judy’s POVAs I walked Lukas to the living room door, he paused for a moment before we went into the front foyer.“Thank you again for helping me out, Judy,” he told me. “It’s hard moving to a different school, and you’ve made it a lot easier. I’m glad we can be friends.”I nodded and smiled at him.
“I’m sorry to hear that,” he said thoughtfully. “It was nice of Gavin to let you stay in his mansion while all that got sorted though. I nodded, a small smile tugging at my lips.“Yeah, it was nice of him,” I said softly. “He’s always been kind like that… at least to me.”“As far as Lycan’s go, my
Judy’s POVOver the course of the next couple of days, I hadn’t heard much of Gavin. Matt had been away on a school trip, so I didn’t need to go to the Villa for tutoring. I preoccupied my time with Lukas Merryweather and tutoring him. He was actually a pretty nice guy. He was really funny and intel
They assumed I had sex with him last night, but other than that, I didn’t tell them about how different it felt, about how different I felt. Something about my relationship with Gavin had shifted these last few days and it was something I wanted to explore.But I wasn’t sure if it was something he w
Judy’s POVI straddled him, wrapping my arms and legs around his body as his lips found mine. His kiss was far beyond any kiss that he’d ever given me before. This was filled with something I couldn’t figure out. It was an emotion that couldn’t quite be named, yet it was filled with so much promise.
Without a word, I lifted her off the couch. She bit into her lip to keep from squealing from the sudden movement. I kept my arms around her small frame, pressing her firmly against my chest as I walked into her bedroom on the second floor.She didn’t argue with me and when I kicked the door shut beh
Judy’s POVNan walked back into the room with a dazed expression, and I narrowed my eyes. I knew she wanted to spy on Chester and Harper to find out what they were saying to one another. But the look she had on her face was a mix of fear, pain, and maybe a bit of happiness. I couldn’t really tell wh
“And now Chester is in there right now talking to her,” I concluded the story. Nan’s eyes remained on the hallway that Harper’s room was down. I could tell from the nervous way she was biting her lip that she was nervous.We were all pretty much thinking the same thing… what were they talking about?
