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
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’ll take care of you tonight,” Alpha Edward told me softly. “Don't worry about a thing. You just focus on having fun and forget about that terrible ceremony.”I smiled, grateful to him.After my 3(rd) tequila shot, I could barely walk. As soon as I slid off the barstool, I nearly fell to the groun
Gavin’s POVHer scent of Lavender and fresh vanilla was intoxicating. Even drunk, she was oddly captivating. But she was young, almost my daughter’s age and I wasn’t someone who would take advantage of a young girl. There was a reason she decided to drink so much tonight; the last thing she needed w
I internally cursed as I walked to her front door. Her purse was on her shoulder, so I reached inside to grab a set of keys. I was surprised at how dark her house was; it was as if nobody else lived there, but I knew at least her mother should be home at this hour. It was ghostly quiet, and it gave

Tyler looked dejected. But seriously, what did he think was going to happen?“Oh, okay,” he said, his eyes pleading for her to not go. Her stomach twisted, guilt clouding her judgment. She swallowed the lump in her throat.“But I’ll still see you tonight, right? The concert and all…” she reminded hi
Third Person POVNan wasn’t sure what she was doing. She had been a complete mess for days and she could feel herself spiraling out of control.“My cousin really likes you,” Mac told her during lunch the day before. “He thought you were really cute and funny and wanted me to find out if you were see
She turned around and fell to her knees, grabbing the waistline of my pants and pulling them down my legs, with my boxers. I stepped out of my pants and boxers, kicking them to the side. I started to unbutton my shirt, revealing each of my abs as my shirt loosened around my shoulders. Her eyes narro

“I wanted to tell you that you did an amazing job,” she said thoughtfully.“Thank you,” I replied. “That’s really nice of you.”“Did your boyfriend compete?” Nan asked.Sammy nodded.“Yes. He’s at the medic now getting looked at. He should be cleared for the next round.”“When will we know if we are
Judy’s POVTabby froze when she saw Gavin seated beside me against the tree. Her eyes were wide, and her cheeks were flushed. She immediately averted her eyes to the ground. Gavin jumped away from me in time, so Tabby didn’t actually see anything, but she knew she walked in on something… she just di

Most of the audience went to greet the ones they were there to support. Nan was frowning in the direction Judy had gone while a guy spoke her ear from beside her. I d
Gavin’s POVI sat frozen as I watched Judy fly in the air. She had no parachute, nothing to catch her… if she fell, it could possibly be the end for her. But at the last minute, she shifted into her wolf form. I had never seen her wolf before it stirred something inside of me that I couldn’t seem to
