Judy’s POV I could feel my cheek swelling from the force and the cut in my lip dripping with blood. The moment he saw the blood on my face, I could see the horror in his eyes. He released me quickly and stepped back, holding up his hands. The motion of him holding up his hands though caused me t
But the second I saw her swollen cheek and the cut on her lip, I was seeing fucking red. Family or not, my nephew was going to die for what he did to her. Kissing her wasn’t part of the plan, but it certainly calmed both me and my wolf down. The moment I kissed her, I knew stopping was going to be
Judy’s POV The words were out of my mouth before I could truly think about what they meant. They seemed to be his unraveling though because in the next second, he was buried deep inside of me and I was screaming out his name, all thoughts of anything leaving my mind in an instant. As he thrust him
I flushed from his words; I didn’t take him for someone who would care about such a thing, especially not when it came to me. “You shouldn’t be too hard on him. He’s your nephew…” “Which makes it worse,” Gavin muttered. “He’s family and my family never raise their hand to women. It can’t go with
Judy’s POV I woke up the next morning and for a moment, I forgot where I was. I looked around the large room and when I felt movement beside me, I turned, and my body relaxed when I saw a sleeping, Gavin. After the Gala last night and after we decided, we were going to “date” or whatever it was we
She was quiet for a moment as she took a sip of her own coffee. “There’s nothing wrong with being friends. I mean, he has to understand that your fated mate left you for another woman only recently. You are still heartbroken, and your wolf is healing,” she told me. “You can’t be too hard on yourse
Judy’s POV “Hey, Dad! Are you going to watch us practice again today?” Matt asked eagerly as Gavin joined us in the parlor. It had been a couple of weeks since our arrangement and things have been going way better than I thought. A few times, Ethan had almost caught us. We told ourselves that we
“Ethan, what the hell are you doing?” I gasped as he pulled me further away from Gavin and Matt. He stopped walking when we reached a more wooded and shaded area, and he caged me against the tree with his arms. “What am I doing? What the hell do you think you’re doing? What’s going on between yo
She looked like she was about to ask me further questions about what I meant; I was hoping she wouldn’t though. I didn’t want to get into it and my family issues were not something to gossip about. She seemed to be able to read that on my face though because she closed her mouth and nodded. I let
Judy’s POV Gavin wanted to take me out tonight. He texted me to tell me to be ready by a certain time and I was more than eager to go out with him. After I left the kitchen this morning, I went straight to my room to take a long bath. I needed to clear my head and wash away all the negative though
“I don’t know if I’m serious about anything,” he blurted, and I could see the panic in his eyes. “I haven’t even thought about this long enough to know what I actually want. I never thought I’d find my mate, Judy. I never thought I even wanted a mate in the first place.” “Wait… what?” I asked, my
Judy’s POV Chester stared at me with a shocked expression, his mouth practically on the ground. I could see the horror in his eyes, and it made me look away from him again. I didn’t want him to feel bad for me, but I also wanted to be honest with him about everything. It seemed he was struggling w
Gavin: Sorry I couldn’t come over last night. I’d like to see you tonight though. Dinner tonight? I couldn’t help the smile that lit up my face. I pressed the reply button and typed out my own message. Me: That sounds great! I pressed send and then I quickly got out of bed. I didn’t bother cha
Judy’s POV “A…are you serious right now??” Harper asked, taken aback by Chester’s words. He nodded and sighed. “Yes, Harper. I’m sorry,” he murmured, and then he walked past her and back inside. Harper stood frozen, her face red with anger and hurt all at the same time. My heart hurt for her;
“Nan…” I whispered. “What is it?” “I’m so sorry…” she said hoarsely as she pulled her eyes away from me to look at the ground. “But I can’t stay here…” “Wait what?” I asked, my brows raising. “Why not? What’s wrong? Please, talk to me…” She shook her head; she was trying hard to keep the tears
Judy’s POV I took another sip of my wine, feeling it relax my mind and body. I kept glancing at my phone periodically, thinking there would be a missed call or a new message. But there wasn’t. I hated the jab of disappointment I would feel in my chest every time I saw that there was no message. I
“If you have any cute guy friends, send them my way, I could use a variety myself,” she teased. Nan let out a laugh and nodded. “I’ll keep that in mind.” Nan was relieved that Becky decided not to go out with her mate again, but who was this other woman in his life that caused him to be so dis
