He nodded.“My driver, Leroy, is out front. Have him take you home,” he offered.I shook my head.“It’s okay, I’ll grab an Uber,” I told him as I pulled my phone out of my bag.He put his hand over my phone screen, preventing me from using it.“Don’t spend your money on a ride when I’m offering you
Judy’s POVI went to the student lounge after my morning class. I just finished taking an exam and I was completely beaten. I was pleased to see Nan seated near the window, snaking on a pop tart and studying. When I approached her, she looked up from her book and smiled.“Hey,” she said, sliding an
“I have a feeling she’s going to get me back some other way,” I murmured.“Speaking of top students, are you going to the award ceremony for top students tomorrow? The winner gets a full scholarship for next year.”I completely forgot about that ceremony; I was sent an invitation weeks ago but with
Third Person POVEthan’s phone rang. He took a sip of his whiskey and put it on the bar in front of him, motioning for the bartender to bring him another.He cleared his throat before answering the phone.“You better have good news,” he said without greeting the person on the other end.“Judy never
Walter’s cheeks turned red, and he glanced at the ground. To save him from further embarrassment, I stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder, drawing his attention back to me.“That’s very kind of you to offer, Walter. But it’s quite alright. I’ll be fine. Thank you though,” I told him.
Judy’s POVWhen I first realized Carol was no longer my friend, back in middle school, it was a few days after the spelling bee contest. She only missed one letter in the word ‘Necessary’ and it cost her the competition. It was only a small competition for middle schoolers, but she took it to heart,
“Is she really unworthy of the scholarship?”“Her silence speaks volumes!”“Why isn’t she defending herself??”My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan; her eyes were wide and filled with worry. She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was i
Judy’s POVCarol’s face paled immediately upon hearing Gavin’s words.I could see the panic on her face as she tried to desperately come up with a story to justify her actions. I knew Carol was a lot of things, but a cheater?She had always worked so hard to get to where she was and a part of me sti
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?
