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
Judy’s POV I stared at Gavin completely dumbfounded. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice coming out breathy. “I asked you to move in with me,” he repeated, his face serene as he stared back at me. Even though he repeated it, I still wasn’t convinced I heard him correctly. “You’re jo
When she found the Epi-pen in its usual place, she grabbed it and put it into her back pocket, knowing she was going to need it for what she was about to do. “I’ve missed talking to you,” Judy continued as she spread the red jam on the slice of bread. “I truly do think of you as a friend, Irene.”
Judy’s POV This was the scariest moment of my life. When Matt took a bite of the sandwich and suddenly, he was dropping to the ground, I had no idea what to do. I had never been put in a position like this before. His entire face turned red and blew-up like a balloon as he grabbed his throat; it w

Gavin’s POVI turned to glare at Daisy.“What the hell are you doing here, Daisy?” I asked, my tone gruff and annoyed. I was still confused about my interaction with Judy and not in the mood to deal with Daisy right now.She frowned at me, folding her arms across her chest as she narrowed her eyes.
She frowned as she watched me walk towards the training center; there were two vending machines right outside the door. One with healthy snacks, and the other with waters, Gatorades, and energy drinks.“You know those aren’t good for you, right?” She asked, following after me. “Plus, you might crash

After a long while, I finally got the courage to move and return to my room for the night. The second I was behind the closed doors and saw that I was alone, I burst into tears, crying until I couldn’t cry anymore.......“She’s been crying all night,” I heard Nan whispering. “Since we got back from
Judy’s POVI stood shellshocked, staring at the woman in front of me. I glanced at the door number to make sure it was the right door. Maybe in my haste and while I was lost in thought, I accidentally knocked on the right door. But as I glanced at the number, my heart sank. It was Gavin’s room and t
“What’s wrong?” I whispered to her, hoping for some kind of answer.But all I got in return was silence. I placed my hand on my chest, feeling my rapid heartbeat, my brows furrowed.“Congratulations on making it to the final round.”His voice cut through my thoughts and suddenly, without even lookin
Judy’s POVDespite the good news from my parents about them being able to move home soon, my wolf was on edge. Something was wrong and I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I classified it as basic nerves for what was about to come tomorrow. It was the finals for this competition, and it would de
“Make sure he’s also able to continue his business as well. I don’t want them to have to worry about anything,” I ordered.“Yes, sir,” Taylor, I could hear the smile in his voice; it made me roll my eyes as I ended the call without saying another word.I sat in the resort bar, sipping scotch, thinki
