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
“I… I apologize,” Taylor said, lowering his gaze. “It was an oversight, and it won’t happen again. I’ll make sure it’s fixed by the end of today.” “What good does that do me now??” Gavin asked, turning to face him fully, his eyes red with fury. “My son was poisoned, and we have no camera footage s
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
