“If I knew, I wouldn’t be asking,” I said exasperated. “Talk to me, Matt,” I said more softly as I walked closer to his bed. “Why are you upset with me?” Matt swallowed and I could see the moisture in his eyes; it broke my heart. Whatever was wrong… it was serious. “What did you say to Judy that
Third Person POV “What do you mean you found the perpetrator?” Gavin asked through the mindlink. He glanced at Matt who was still lost in thought. Had he lied to him? Matt has never lied before… has he? “It was a maid,” Taylor continued. “She was found with the peanut butter in her room. The s
I shrugged and chewed the inside of my cheek. “I don’t think she really notices how bad things are for me,” I admitted. “When I tried to talk to her about it, she told me that I need to be grateful to the Cash family and I shouldn’t complain too much.” Nan rolled her eyes. “She’s completely bl
Gavin’s POV “Every last maid was investigated, sir,” one of my gammas informed me. “They knew nothing about the crime and was astonished she would do such a thing. None of them will vouge for her though, fearing banishment.” I nodded and tapped my fingers on my desk. “And that maid is gone?”
A knot formed in the pit of my stomach as I stared at my Beta. “Then, where is she??” “She moved into the Cash family manor,” Taylor blurted. Fury boiled through me; over my dead body will I allow Judy to continue living in that mansion. Not after the way they treated her the last time we were t
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
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
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
“Did you think I wouldn’t?” I asked him.He shrugged his shoulders.“I knew Dad would come back, but I didn’t think you would take,” he admitted. “But I’m glad you’re here. Doctor Pierce said I can leave later today because my vitals are good.”Eliza nodded, a fond look in her eyes.“It’s true. He s
Judy’s POVI slept better than I had in a long time. I was fully satisfied both emotionally and sexually. As the sun cast its morning rays through the window, causing a subdued light in the room, I stretched out my body and yawned tiredly. Gavin’s arms tightened around me from behind, pulling me clo
I finally broke my kiss from her mouth and started to trail down the nape of her neck. I nibbled on her ear, kissed the sensitive spot just below the back of her ear, the one that makes her shudder with pleasure and goosebumps form on her arms and legs.My hands moved to her hair and to the buttons
Gavin’s POV“Judy’s friends are settled in the villa,” Taylor said as soon as we got back to the villa. He was standing at the entrance with the butler, Alex.My hand was still tucked in Judys, a slight blush on her cheeks that did something to my insides.“Great,” I said. “You can proceed on that o
I gave him a sad smile.“I think over time he will learn to forgive her,” I told him honestly. “It’s not something to rush, though. You just found out something devastating, and it’s going to take time. You need to sit with it for the time being, but also remember that there are people who love you
Judy’s POV“What?” Gavin asked, his eyes dark and brewing as he stared down at Matt. “What are you talking about?”“She told me it was she who put the peanut butter in my sandwich…” Matt murmured. “She tried to kill me and everybody knew about it… right?”My heart shattered at his accusatory words.
“I need you to look into Samantha, the maid in the mansion,” he said into the phone; I assumed he was speaking to Beta Taylor. “I want a full report on everything she does. In the meantime, I’m having Judy stay in the villa, so go there and pack some of her things to bring to the Villa.”My heart sk
Judy’s POV“What do you mean she’s working against your family? I know she’s been talking to Ethan behind your back, but does that mean she’s working with him?” Gavin asked, his voice being reasonable.When Nan sent me that photo of Ethan and Sammy talking in the coffee shop, I showed it to Gavin ar
Matt was out cold, completely oblivious of anything that was happening.It didn’t take long for the doctor to walk in and take over for the nurses.“Alpha, I came as soon as I heard,” Dr. Eliza Pierce, Taylor’s mate, walked into the room with a worried expression on her face. “Is it true that he shi
