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
“It’s part of the job,” she murmured. “But exhausting. So, seriously What’s so important? You sounded urgent on the phone.” I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair, tugging at the ends. “My mom is selling the house,” I blurted. “What??” Nan gasped. “Why would she do that? She loves that ho
“She’s truly a miracle worker,” Taylor said with a proud smile. I raised my brows at him and then glanced at the doctor. “I don’t believe we’ve met,” I told her, my voice starting to come back fully as I took another larger sip of water. She blushed and gave me a small smile. “I’m Doctor Eli
Judy’s POV “You’re a miracle-working,” Beta Taylor breathed. “There’s not even a scar left.” “I can’t take all the credit,” a woman’s voice replied. “Her wolf is strong and was able to heal most of her already. I only applied some ointment to help with the external injuries.” “Alpha Gavin will
She let out a loud laugh, cutting off my words. “Oh, you mean the mother who just signed a contract to be our live-in maid for the next unforeseen future?” She asked, folding her arms across her chest. “Now, you’re a maid’s daughter, which is even worse than what you currently are. It won’t be lon
Gavin’s POV After Judy went back to her room, I returned to the parlor where Richard was speaking with his wife. They both looked nervous as they discussed what they were going to do if I did happen to pull my funding. Without my funding, they would go bankrupt, and they would lose almost everythi
At least not right now. My mother could read my expression, and her gaze softened. “It wasn’t fair of me to ask you to get Ethan’s help, and it wouldn’t be fair of me to ask you to get Gavin’s help. So, I’m doing my part and trying to get help without making our family look pathetic,” she explai
Judy’s POV I was about to protest that I couldn’t just leave with him without others being suspicious. But before I could utter a single word, there was a knock on the door. My entire body tensed, and I felt my cheeks burning hot. Gavin didn’t seem to be as worried because he backed away from me a
She was trembling and keeping her eyes on her open wound. I wrapped my arms around her, hating how tense she was from my touch. I pulled her into me and lifted her into my arms. She sucked in a sharp breath as she held onto me with her good hand and carefully positioned her injured hand away so she
Judy’s POV My stomach was growling angrily. I hadn’t eaten much other than scraps in days. When Kelsey came to get me and told me to come to the dining hall, I thought I was going to finally get some decent food. But I was sorely disappointed when I saw that they had already eaten and left not eve
Raymond entered the room shortly after and whispered something to one of the maids. She nodded and went with a few others towards the kitchen. “Sorry for the delay. She’s going to start bringing out our meal now,” Raymond said as he took his seat at the head of the table. I frowned. “But not e
