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
She opened it with eagerness and when she saw the pink gems inside, she gasped loudly, her eyes lighting up with excitement and a large smile spreading across her glossy lips.“Oh, Dad!” She gasped as she wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly. “I love it! Thank you so much.”She pulled away
Judy’s POVAll three of them stared at me. Irene and Matt with smiles on their faces and Gavin with a frown.I stood in front of them with my eyes wide and my heart thudding violently in my chest. I wasn’t sure what to say as an excuse to get out of this. There was no way I was going to have dinner
“Very kind of you,” I tell him with a chuckle. “So, how did you get Nan into bed?” I asked, taking a bite of the eggs.He laughed.“I don’t kiss and tell,” he teased.I raised my brows because that’s literally all he ever does. He loves bragging about this kind of thing.“Since when?”“Since this on
Judy’s POV“Sammy?” I asked as I turned on my bedroom light. Sammy was standing at my desk across the room with her eyes wide like she was a deer caught in the headlights. I could practically hear her heart pounding against her chest as she stared back at me, having been caught snooping through my p
“Ready to go?” He asked me, his tone a low whisper, his breath warming the side of my face as he whispered into my ear.I nodded.“More than ready,” I told him.“We have to return to that game from earlier and get your prize,” he reminded me.I laughed at the memory, but the laugh was cut short when
Judy’s POVThe fact that his mom and Daisy showed up at the fair shouldn’t have surprised me. I should have known that they would have caught wind when I was on a date with Gavin and where we were. I should have known they would have followed us here.The memory of my last encounter with them invade
“Hey,” I said to her, putting my hands on her small shoulders. “Just breathe. They are gone… it’s okay…”Judy took in a deep breath as she fought to control her breath. Once she was finally calmer, her eyes peeked up at me through her long and dark lashes.“Thanks,’ she whispered.“Want to tell me w
Gavin’s POVThe last person I ever expected to see here was my mother. I stared blankly at her for a long while as her eyes darted between me and Judy.Judy stood frozen beside me, now a fair distance from me and it took everything I had not to reach out and brought her back into my arms, holding he
She lifted her arms in the sky and the sun setting rays cascaded down on her features, lighting up her gorgeous and happy face as she breathed in the cooling air.Before I knew what I was doing, my eyes never left her face, I was loosening my grip on the lap bar and lifting my arms as well, wanting
Gavin’s POVI hated that I was doing this, but the happy look on Judy’s face was almost worth it. She was oddly beautiful when she smiled; it felt like it was a rarity to see, but I’ve seen it a lot today. Doing her favorite things, eating her favorite foods, relaxing, and having fun… it was actuall
“There’s no way in hell I’m getting on that thing,” he told me, shaking his head.I raised my brows at him and turned to look at him.“Is the big bad Lycan afraid of roller coasters?” I asked.He pressed his lips in a thin line and glared at me.“I am not afraid of anything… but I won’t get on that
