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

Judy’s POV“Oh, hey Judy,” Irene said as she recovered from Ethan's hold. Her cheeks were flushed and that smile never left her lips. She ran her fingers through her hair and gave me a sheepish look as she stepped into the parlor.Matt lifted his gaze from his homework to look up at his sister.“How
“Let go of me,” I said through my teeth.“When are you going to stop pretending that you don’t have feelings for me, Judy?” He asked, his tone sultry and his eyes dark with desires, making a cold chill run up my spine. “I know you still want me.”“In your dreams, Ethan,” I murmured, ripping my arm o
Gavin’s POV“Remind me again why we are rushing to your Villa, Alpha?” Taylor asked, peering at me through the rearview mirror with a pointed look.I ignored his look and kept my gaze fixed out the window.“We aren’t rushing,” I murmured.“As soon as the meeting was over, you ran out of the packhous
Ethan nodded, his eyes dark and I could see that he was pissed, but he was biting his tongue.“Yes, Alpha,” he rasped out.He quickly left the parlor and went into the kitchen. Judy stood her ground, her eyes finding mine, searching for something … but I wasn’t sure what.“Are you proud of yourself?
Judy’s POVI thought Gavin would have taken me home first and then gone home with the others, so I was surprised when he dropped Irene, Matt, and Ethan off at the villa first. As soon as they left the car and shut the door behind them, Beta Taylor rolled up the window separating the backseat from th
“A habit? Seriously?” I called after him. “Then maybe don’t force me to go out to a fancy restaurant with you and your family. I didn’t really have much of a choice in my attire.”He didn’t reply, he got back into the backseat of the car, slamming the door shut behind him. I scowled and marched to m
When she found the Epi-pen in its usual place, she grabbed it and put it into her back pocket, knowing she was going to need it for what she was about to do. “I’ve missed talking to you,” Judy continued as she spread the red jam on the slice of bread. “I truly do think of you as a friend, Irene.”
Judy’s POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy. “I asked you to move in with me,” he repeated, his face serene as he stared back at me. Even though he repeated it, I still wasn’t convinced I heard him correctly. “You’re jo
“It’s part of the job,” she murmured. “But exhausting. So, seriously What’s so important? You sounded urgent on the phone.” I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, tugging at the ends. “My mom is selling the house,” I blurted. “What??” Nan gasped. “Why would she do that? She loves that ho
“Okay,” I finally said after a beat of silence. “We don’t need to talk about this any further.” “Can you leave now?” She murmured. “I’m really tired.” I nodded and started to leave, but then I paused and glanced over my shoulder at her. “I thought you’d like to know that Ethan is sleeping in a
Gavin’s POV I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door. This was ridiculous, I shouldn’t be this nervous. But I couldn’t get Judy’s words out of my head. Why would I want this for my own daughter? It was obvious Ethan wasn’t serious about his mating with her, so why should I al
He sighed and shook his head. “Not even a little bit… but Irene… she’s fragile,” Gavin murmured, shaking his own head. “Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens. She’s my daughter and I only care about her happiness. I just hope Ethan shapes
Judy’s POV For the last couple of days, the pain continued only at night. It would go on until the morning, but with Gavin holding me almost every night, it wasn’t as bad. I was able to get through it. It made no sense because I’ve noticed Irene around the mansion, she’s been avoiding me… ignoring
She wrapped her legs around his waist as he deepened the kiss. He nibbled on her bottom lip. “Let’s get out of here,” he murmured against her. She nodded and Ethan called one of his subordinates to come pick them up because he was far too drunk to drive. He took her back to his house and they ha
