“I assure you my relationship with Ethan is over. I’m only interested in my job as Matt’s tutor. I thrive on professionalism, and I promise to remain ethnically loyal,” I told him, well aware that I was rambling, but I couldn’t help myself. He intimidated me.He stared at me for a heartbeat, making
Judy’s POVMy mother was smiling for the first time since my father was taken away by pack Gammas.“Oh, Judy. Good, you’re home. Look who came to visit with us,” my mother said, a smile beaming on her face as she looked at Ethan. “He told me that he’d be able to help us if you are cooperative with h
Now his touch burned. I felt nauseated and filled with fury.I struggled against him which only made him hold me tighter. It was no secret that he was much stronger than me despite all the training I had in my defense classes. It didn’t help that he hurt my body and made me weaker as a person, not
Judy’s POVThe pain that wracked my body was insufferable; I cried out, hoping that my mother would hear and that she could do something to help me. But the hallway outside my room remained quiet with only the sounds of my agony filling it. My wolf was also whimpering in pain which drowned out any c
I scowled at it in the mirror. I couldn’t be seen with his hickey on my neck! I had to cover this up somehow.I decided to use a scarf.After I showered and got dressed, I grabbed a scarf that paired nicely with my blouse and jeans. I tied it around my neck and took a deep breath before leaving my r
Adam nodded and grabbed the tablet, handing it to Ethan.“I’ll return this later. Thank you for your help, Adam,” Ethan said kindly before leaving the kitchen.“Thank you for the warning about Miss Judy. I’ll keep a close eye on her,” Adam retorted. “I’ll see if there’s someone more capable for the
Judy’s POV“Miss Judy!” Adam growled just as I walked into Matt’s bedroom. “This is highly inappropriate. You aren’t supposed to be in their private bedrooms for one and two, you destroyed Gavin’s property.”The door was barely hanging on the hinges. I glanced at it briefly before lifting my gaze to
I was surprised by the dinner request and my brows shot upward to my hairline.“You want to have dinner with me?” I asked.“There’s plenty of food for you as well, Madam,” the maid added, a wide grin on her face.I looked back at Matt for confirmation, and he looked so small and almost nervous at th
When she found the Epi-pen in its usual place, she grabbed it and put it into her back pocket, knowing she was going to need it for what she was about to do. “I’ve missed talking to you,” Judy continued as she spread the red jam on the slice of bread. “I truly do think of you as a friend, Irene.”
Judy’s POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy. “I asked you to move in with me,” he repeated, his face serene as he stared back at me. Even though he repeated it, I still wasn’t convinced I heard him correctly. “You’re jo
“It’s part of the job,” she murmured. “But exhausting. So, seriously What’s so important? You sounded urgent on the phone.” I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, tugging at the ends. “My mom is selling the house,” I blurted. “What??” Nan gasped. “Why would she do that? She loves that ho
“Okay,” I finally said after a beat of silence. “We don’t need to talk about this any further.” “Can you leave now?” She murmured. “I’m really tired.” I nodded and started to leave, but then I paused and glanced over my shoulder at her. “I thought you’d like to know that Ethan is sleeping in a
Gavin’s POV I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door. This was ridiculous, I shouldn’t be this nervous. But I couldn’t get Judy’s words out of my head. Why would I want this for my own daughter? It was obvious Ethan wasn’t serious about his mating with her, so why should I al
He sighed and shook his head. “Not even a little bit… but Irene… she’s fragile,” Gavin murmured, shaking his own head. “Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens. She’s my daughter and I only care about her happiness. I just hope Ethan shapes
Judy’s POV For the last couple of days, the pain continued only at night. It would go on until the morning, but with Gavin holding me almost every night, it wasn’t as bad. I was able to get through it. It made no sense because I’ve noticed Irene around the mansion, she’s been avoiding me… ignoring
She wrapped her legs around his waist as he deepened the kiss. He nibbled on her bottom lip. “Let’s get out of here,” he murmured against her. She nodded and Ethan called one of his subordinates to come pick them up because he was far too drunk to drive. He took her back to his house and they ha
Third Person POV Ethan returned to his room later that night after saying goodnight to his family. He was planning on taking Irene home, but when he saw that she wasn’t there, he frowned. His room was completely empty. He grabbed his phone and checked his messages, seeing that he had a missed text
