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
I didn’t bother sticking around to hear any more of what they had to say; I was done for the evening and if I had to drag Judy out of there by force then I would. Thankfully, it didn’t come to that. Judy said her quick goodbyes, though most of them went unanswered, and then she hurried after me, kee
Third Person POV The look Ethan had on his face when Judy left the party with her father did not go unnoticed by Irene. There was a look of longing; almost like he was a lost child, and it made Irene’s heart ache. She bit her bottom lip, refusing to cry in front of Ethan’s family. She had already
I quickly wiped them away, feeling anger bubbling inside of me.I was so stupid to think that I was the only one that Gavin Landry had been with. I mean, he was a Lycan Chairman and the most powerful man in the entire world, there was no way he would settle for only me. Of course, he had other suito
I followed after him.“That’s it? No feedback?”“You didn’t do anything feedback-worthy.”I was stunned by his words and completely infuriated.“Are you kidding me?” I nearly shouted. “I stayed here all night and remained awake.”“That’s the bare minimum,” he murmured without looking at me. “You wan
Gavin’s POVI snapped. The second she mentioned Levi’s name and started to walk away, I fucking snapped.I grabbed her and shoved her against the tree. Now, she was pressed against it, and my body was pinning her in place. Her eyes were wildly large as she stared at me, her breathing rapid like she
He paused and turned to look at me, his hand still wrapped around my wrist. Not enough to hurt, but enough to make me realize he had no intentions of letting me go anytime soon.“Watch duty,” he murmured. “You are coming with me.”“I thought I was on Levi’s team,” I said, my tone coming out breathy
Judy’s POVThere was nothing worse than the feeling of being stood up.I hated that I waited there for so long, too, even though it was clear he wasn’t going to show up. I brushed my thoughts out of my head and went back to the gym area where I was supposed to meet up with everybody for watch duty t
“Dad?” I heard Irene saying as she approached.It was 9:30 now.When I looked at her, I saw that her eyes were puffy, and her bottom lip was quivering. I stood from my seat and walked towards her. She had her luggage in hand, and Matt was standing behind her with his own luggage.Whoever hurt her my
Judy’s POVI stared at Nan dumbfounded for a long moment. “Like a second fated mate?” I asked her.She nodded and met my eyes.“Yes, like a second fated mate. Do you think I could have another fated mate if I reject this one… or if he rejects me?” She asked, nibbling on her lip. “I always only saw
“What are you doing here?” I asked, staring between him and Nan.Nan had a slight blush on her cheeks, and I had to fight to keep from smiling.“What do you think I’m doing here?” He asked, raising his brows. “You gave me an address; did you think I wouldn’t use it?”“You couldn’t wait until we retu
Judy’s POVSammy and I went through the front foyer of the resort, where she saw Tyler dragging Nan. My heart was pounding against my rib cage at the thought of something happening to her. I never trusted Tyler, and I should have tried harder to get her to cut ties with him, but I stupidly didn’t li
