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,

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
Nan only rolled her eyes and made her way over to me, wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in for a hug.“Are you okay?” She asked me, her voice low and for my ears alone.I nodded, feeling the burning sensation of unshed tears in the back of my eyes. I refused to let them fall right here thou

I followed after him.“That’s it? No feedback?”“You didn’t do anything feedback-worthy.”I was stunned by his words and completely infuriated.“Are you kidding me?” I nearly shouted. “I stayed here all night and remained awake.”“That’s the bare minimum,” he murmured without looking at me. “You wan
Gavin’s POVI snapped. The second she mentioned Levi’s name and started to walk away, I fucking snapped.I grabbed her and shoved her against the tree. Now, she was pressed against it, and my body was pinning her in place. Her eyes were wildly large as she stared at me, her breathing rapid like she
He paused and turned to look at me, his hand still wrapped around my wrist. Not enough to hurt, but enough to make me realize he had no intentions of letting me go anytime soon.“Watch duty,” he murmured. “You are coming with me.”“I thought I was on Levi’s team,” I said, my tone coming out breathy
Judy’s POVThere was nothing worse than the feeling of being stood up.I hated that I waited there for so long, too, even though it was clear he wasn’t going to show up. I brushed my thoughts out of my head and went back to the gym area where I was supposed to meet up with everybody for watch duty t
“Dad?” I heard Irene saying as she approached.It was 9:30 now.When I looked at her, I saw that her eyes were puffy, and her bottom lip was quivering. I stood from my seat and walked towards her. She had her luggage in hand, and Matt was standing behind her with his own luggage.Whoever hurt her my
Judy’s POVI stared at Nan dumbfounded for a long moment. “Like a second fated mate?” I asked her.She nodded and met my eyes.“Yes, like a second fated mate. Do you think I could have another fated mate if I reject this one… or if he rejects me?” She asked, nibbling on her lip. “I always only saw

Judy’s POVSammy and I went through the front foyer of the resort, where she saw Tyler dragging Nan. My heart was pounding against my rib cage at the thought of something happening to her. I never trusted Tyler, and I should have tried harder to get her to cut ties with him, but I stupidly didn’t li
