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
He handed me the phone that we confiscated from Sammy and pressed the play button. I watched as the big black wolf leapt in the air and rescued Judy. My stomach twisted at the sight; I wondered if Judy knew that it was Sammy that saved her.The office door opened again, and Taylor walked in.“We wer
Judy’s POVI don’t remember leaving the villa; I don’t remember getting into my car. I have no idea how I managed to go from the villa back to my parents’ house. Everything was such a blur. I was in a daze when I got out of my car. My mother immediately ran out of the house, tears in her eyes and a
“OH, Goddess, Judy. No, of course not!”“I’m having trouble believing that…” I admit.She nodded solemnly.“I get that,” she murmured. “And maybe at first, I did target you, but I quickly realized that you are an incredible person, and I was lucky to get to know you. There wasn’t a moment when I did
Judy’s POVWhat are you even doing here? That was a loaded question, with many answers. I came for answers. I came to find out if my friend was a traitor. I came to find out if she was a spy and, if so, for whom she was working. I came to find out if she was sleeping with my ex-mate. I came to find
“It was worth a shot,” I sighed.His shoulders shook with suppressed laughter.Taylor pulled into the driveway and put the car in park before turning to look at me.“I know it’s hard to see, but the Alpha truly does care about you, Miss Judy,” he tells me gently, his eyes softening. “He’s not great
Judy’s POV“Miss Judy, I was told to bring you home,” Taylor said from the doorway, staring around the room awkwardly, attempting to avoid my eyes. My mouth opened wide as I stared at him. So, Gavin didn’t trust that I would get home on my own? He had to send Beta Taylor to bring me home himself? Th
Nan: 911, get to the Villa now!There was a sense of panic in my chest as I read her text.“I have to go,” I told my mom as I hurried out of the room. She followed close behind me, trying to ask me what was going on, but I was too far gone. All I could think was that something might have happened to
Judy’s POVIf someone told me a few days ago that I’d be moving back in with my parents, having spent almost a year living in the Landry mansion, I would have laughed. But here I was, putting the last of my boxes into my childhood room. Despite that, they once sold their home to the Cash family and
I was so focused on feeding her that I didn’t notice Gavin leaning against the doorframe, watching me. There was a look I didn’t recognize in his eyes, almost a thoughtful expression. When our eyes met, it almost seemed to snap him back to the present moment.“We're going to use the mansion to hide
