“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
Judy’s POVI could not believe I actually agreed to this. I stared at myself in the mirror with a frown. I was wearing a female business suit that seemed to have aged me a few years. Matt was right when he said that I could pull off being his mother. For a moment, I had doubts that I could be too yo
“You’re Gavin Landry’s wife?” She asked. “The Gavin Landry?”“Yes,” I said, folding my arms across my chest. “Is there a problem?”“Only that Gavin Landry isn’t married and if he were to get married, it wouldn’t be to a nobody like you,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me. “Do you think I’m an idiot
Judy’s POV“What exactly is going on in here?” Gavin asked as he stepped into the room; his eyes scanning the situation and then landing on the hand that was still very much wrapped around my wrist, marking it red from the force. I watched Gavin’s eyes darken in fury when he noticed the red marks on
Judy sucked in a sharp breath.“They just left, and nobody knew where they had gone?” She asked, tears filling her eyes.I nodded.“Yeah,” I murmured. “We searched everywhere, but they were gone. There was a note saying not to look for them and that they didn’t need us anymore. I knew she was going
I felt sick to my stomach at the memory and swallowed the bile that threatened my throat.“Gavin?” Judy asked when I hadn’t said anything.I sighed; I could lie to her or deflect the question… but cared about Matt. She should know the truth so she can help me protect him when I’m not around him.“Ye
Gavin’s POVMy mother had crossed a line tonight. I knew tonight’s dinner was going to end up disastrous, but I had no idea she would end up attacking Judy so boldly like that. I was angry and replaying the evening in my head as I drove Judy home. I was well aware of how awkward the silence was that
“I don’t follow that kind of thing,” Donna said, rolling her eyes.“It was all over the news,” I countered.Something about her brushing it off after putting me down didn’t’ sit right with me. I was starting to suspect that maybe she knew about the competition, and she was just looking to put me dow
Judy’s POVMy blood went cold at the sound of her question. I stared at her and she stared back at me with a glint of humor in her eyes. I wanted to vomit at that moment; all the food I had just eaten resurfaced.I could feel Gavin’s agitation towards his mother, but he remained quiet, just glaring
Donna sighed, tossing aside what she was going to say a moment ago and then she stood to her feet.“I guess we should go eat then,” she said as she eyed us both carefully.Gavin stood; his hand still entwined with mine. It was almost like he was afraid of letting me go and I found my heart skipping
Judy’s POVMy heart weighed heavy in my chest as I stared up at Gavin. He had a scowl on his face and he looked like he wanted to punch something at the thought of his sister. Gavin hadn’t told me much about her, but I knew she fell on hard times. She wasn’t like the rest of the Landry’s. She cut ti
“Madam Landry, your son and his date have arrived,” Doug announced, stepping aside for us to enter.Donna Landry wore one of her gorgeous gowns and her jet-black hair was curled around her features, crowning her heart-shaped face. She was a gorgeous woman and you’d never be able to tell she had chil
Judy’s POVThe manor was gorgeous; it was everything the magazines had said it was. It was in a secluded part of the Silver Crescent pack, so I never had the privilege of actually seeing it. In the beginning of the small forest, there was a pearl gate that led up the driveway and it was guarded by a
