“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?
Judy’s POV “And who do you think you are?” Meredith asked, raising her brows at the man standing behind me. “This is a private party,” Sophia chimed in. “You weren’t invited.” “This is a pack party and you are not pack,” Meredith added, rolling her eyes. “He’s handsome though. Maybe he shoul
“Daddy!” Irene gasped, rushing to his side. “Don’t be rude to Ethan’s family.” “I’m not the one being rude,” he said through his teeth. “It was a misunderstanding,” Sophia went on to say, her words coming out hoarse. “We didn’t know who you were.” “And that makes it okay?” Gavin asked, raising
Judy’s POV “Mom, you can’t be serious!” I gasped. “How could you agree to such a thing.” “I know it’s not the ideal situation but—” “Not the ideal situation?!” “Don’t raise your voice at me, Judy,” my mother scolded. “We need the money, and I am running out of options.” “If they are so kee
“He’s a ruthless Alpha,” my mother warned. “He’s a Lycan chairman, and very powerful. Be careful around him. Make sure to show him respect.” I nodded. My mother finished cleaning our mess in the bathroom before she turned and walked out, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I stared at myself in t
Gavin’s POV The rage I felt when I saw Ethan’s family tormenting Judy was beyond what I had ever felt in my life. I was honestly surprised that I was able to control myself. Staying at this barbeque wasn’t something I wanted to do, but Judy pleaded with me to let it go for right now and I wasn’t g
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
