“He put you to bed?” She asked, I could hear the smile in her voice.“In the most nonsexual way possible,” I told her. “I was still fully clothed.”“Ouch,” she murmured.“What am I going to do, Nan? I made a complete fool out of myself in front of a Lycan.”“You were drunk; you can’t blame yourself
Judy’s POV“Irene,” I greeted, thankful that I sounded stronger than I felt. “I wasn’t expecting to see you here.”“Oh, I was just getting some stuff for my upcoming wedding,” she said, holding up her shopping bag. She glanced at Nan. “And who’s this?”I swallowed the lump in my throat; the last thi
Nan had a good idea during dinner to maybe go and see my father in prison; perhaps he could give me some insight on how to handle his mate. I wasn’t sure if that was something I was ready for. But after I got out of school the next day, I decided to give it a shot and see if I could speak with my fa
Judy’s POVThere was clear sadness in my father’s eyes as he watched me plead for my mother. I knew it was breaking his heart that he couldn’t be there with her to hold and comfort her. He used to tell me stories about the first time he ever saw her and how in love he was. He knew right away that sh
She put her seatbelt on, and I did the same. Then, she put the car in drive and drove off toward Gavin’s Villa.“I’m sorry if my brother is too much,” she said after a beat of silence. “He’s chased off every tutor he’s ever had. I’m not sure what’s wrong with that boy.”“He seems great to me,” I tol
Judy’s POV“Matthew! What have you done??” I heard Irene shrieking from the back porch steps. I hadn’t even known she was there, and I wondered how long she had been watching us for.I watched as Matt’s face turned pale and his eyes grew misty with unshed tears.“I’m so sorry, Judy,” he said, his bo
I knew she was right.It took a few more minutes, but eventually, Irene found a blouse along with a skirt. I frowned at the skirt and raised my eyebrows at her.“My pants are fine,” I told her, pointing to my pants.“Yeah, but this blouse requires this skirt,” she told me. “Trust me, I know fashion.
Gavin’s POV“I picked up the pink gems you requested,” Beta Taylor said as I walked into the villa. He held out a long black case to me and I took it without hesitation. I opened it and smiled at the pretty string of pink gems. This would look great on the mirror in Irene’s new car. She was going to
I quickly wiped them away, feeling anger bubbling inside of me.I was so stupid to think that I was the only one that Gavin Landry had been with. I mean, he was a Lycan Chairman and the most powerful man in the entire world, there was no way he would settle for only me. Of course, he had other suito
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
“What are you doing here?” I asked, staring between him and Nan.Nan had a slight blush on her cheeks, and I had to fight to keep from smiling.“What do you think I’m doing here?” He asked, raising his brows. “You gave me an address; did you think I wouldn’t use it?”“You couldn’t wait until we retu
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
