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
How stupid she was for trusting them. A furious rage and pit of jealousy bubbled in her stomach. She bit her lip, keeping her tears away. She watched as her father noticed what was happening and he stormed over to them, pulling Ethan off Judy and punching him in the stomach. Irene wanted to go to
Judy’s POV “You agreed to do what??” Gavin asked, folding his arms across his chest as he glared at me. I sat on his bed, with my head down. “Why would you agree to go to that barbeque?” “Because Irene asked,” I told him. “She’s my friend, Gavin. She needed me to be there… so I’ll be there.” H
“I don’t trust them, Mom,” I told her. “They aren’t good people…” “Well, I just don’t believe that,” she said, shaking her head. I sighed; there was no point in arguing with her. I knew I wouldn’t be able to change her mind. After a while, I gave up on the conversation and made my mother and me
Judy’s POV “You are such trash, Judy Montague. Why the hell are you at my family's barbeque?” Kelsey asked, folding her arms across her busty chest, her pink lips pressed into a thin line as she glared at me. “If I remember correctly, the entire pack is invited, Kelsey. So, what’s the problem?”
Meredith and Kelsey chuckled and continued their banter. It was as if they had forgotten I was there. “What is that foul smell,” another voice said from nearby. I froze at the sound of that voice. “Oh… it’s you.” I turned to see Sophia, Ethan’s grandmother, approaching us. “Why are you here?
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
