“Why are you asking?” He countered; his eyes narrowed in her direction.She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on it gently as she thought about how to answer his question.Truth be told, she wasn’t sure why she wanted to know. Maybe to prove that the mate bond doesn’t matter. She’s no
Judy’s POVThe house was quiet when I returned home after having dinner at Gavin’s house. It was always quiet these days.The house felt so empty with my mother hiding away in her room, not a sound to be made. I put my coat on the hook and made my way upstairs. I paused outside of her bedroom door w
“I’ve known you for a while, Judy. You can’t bullshit me.”“What do you expect me to say, Ethan? That I’m not okay? That my mother is depressed and barely eats? Isn’t this what you wanted? For me to suffer? So, why are you acting like you care right now when we both know you don’t!”“Judy!” My mothe
Judy’s POV“Return the favor?” I asked, my heart falling deep into my stomach. “What are you talking about?”He cleared his throat and straightened his posture; the soft expression he wore for most of the day was gone completely and now it was a cold look that sent a chill down my spine. I instincti
But instead of answering the call, he shoved it back into his pocket, letting it ring. The ringing soon stopped, and my frown deepened.“Why do you keep ignoring that person?” I asked.“It’s not your concern,” he murmured, his eyes dark.Then, a thought occurred to me, and I found myself feeling par
Judy’s POV“That asshole!” Nan gasped as we stood in line at the campus coffee shop, waiting to take our orders. “I can’t believe he had the nerve to do that to you last night. And to involve your mother??”It was the next morning after Ethan came to see me and I just finished telling Nan about what
“Think what you want,” I murmured. “I don’t need to prove anything to you.”“Maybe you should be worried about yourselves,” Nan said, folding her arms across her chest.“Just forget about it, Nan,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m going to get to class. I’ll see you later.”I didn’t wait for her respon
Judy’s POV All the professors knew about my dyslexia?How did the dean even find out about it? All my doctors and therapists assured me that nobody outside of my circle would find out about this. I didn’t want them to start treating me differently like I was incapable. It seemed as if my fears were
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
Gavin’s POVI hadn’t left the forest; I needed to clear my head. We were close to being caught. My wolf was distracted, as was I, and neither of us sensed nor heard anyone else coming towards us. But when that girl appeared, I thought I was losing my mind.Judy returned to the forest about 45 minute
“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
I looked back at Mica and Jeremy who were talking amongst themselves. The chosen judges sat in the front, talking amongst themselves. 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
I swallowed the lump in my throat as the wolf got even closer.Just as she reached the branch I was on and swiped her claws in my direction to throw me off balance. I released the branch I was holding onto and the branch I stood on flung so hard that it smacked her right in the face, knocking her of
Judy’s POVAs everyone started to shift into their wolf forms, I ran.I ran fast and I didn’t really have a plan if I were to be honest. But I knew I couldn’t stay in the middle of a mosh pit of wild animals. If it were true that Tabby didn’t have control of her wolf in this form, that could mean ot
“Nan, what’s going on?” I asked her.“Tyler has been getting my mind off Chester… so we’ve done some stuff. It’s not going to continue when we leave this place… but it’s nice to be wanted, you know?” She asked.I could tell there was something more she wasn’t saying. It was fine if she wanted to fli
