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
She stood up from the bed, unable to truly rest. She walked over to his drawers and started to mindlessly rummage through them. There wasn’t anything in them besides some clothes that most likely no longer fit him. She sighed and went to his nightstand to rummage through that as well. There wasn’t
Third Person POV Ethan returned to his room later that night after saying goodnight to his family. He was planning on taking Irene home, but when he saw that she wasn’t there, he frowned. His room was completely empty. He grabbed his phone and checked his messages, seeing that he had a missed text
She wrapped her legs around his waist as he deepened the kiss. He nibbled on her bottom lip. “Let’s get out of here,” he murmured against her. She nodded and Ethan called one of his subordinates to come pick them up because he was far too drunk to drive. He took her back to his house and they ha
Judy’s POV For the last couple of days, the pain continued only at night. It would go on until the morning, but with Gavin holding me almost every night, it wasn’t as bad. I was able to get through it. It made no sense because I’ve noticed Irene around the mansion, she’s been avoiding me… ignoring
He sighed and shook his head. “Not even a little bit… but Irene… she’s fragile,” Gavin murmured, shaking his own head. “Taking Ethan away from her would destroy her and I worry about what she might do if that happens. She’s my daughter and I only care about her happiness. I just hope Ethan shapes
Gavin’s POV I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door. This was ridiculous, I shouldn’t be this nervous. But I couldn’t get Judy’s words out of my head. Why would I want this for my own daughter? It was obvious Ethan wasn’t serious about his mating with her, so why should I al
“Okay,” I finally said after a beat of silence. “We don’t need to talk about this any further.” “Can you leave now?” She murmured. “I’m really tired.” I nodded and started to leave, but then I paused and glanced over my shoulder at her. “I thought you’d like to know that Ethan is sleeping in a
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
