“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
“Not bad for a girl,” I heard a voice behind me. I turned around to see Theo approaching me. He had scratches on his own body, but for the most part, he was barely injured. He had sweat along his bare chest and down his torso. He had a towel wrapped around his neck, collecting sweat. He gave me
Judy’s POV Sharp nails sliced through the flesh of my cheek, making me wince as a trail of blood trickled down my cheek. I looked up to see that girl from the bathroom, Alpha Levi’s apparent daughter, standing over me with a furious look in her eyes. I let out a low growl anger flashed in my own
As the announcers went over the rules on the loudspeaker, I listened earnestly. We were not allowed to kill anyone during these matches. The only fight to the death was at the finale but until then, we had to be careful not to kill anyone or we’ll be disqualified. The first round was a free-for-al
Judy’s POV “Are you really not going to tell me why you came home so late last night? No way did that dinner end at 2 am,” Nan said, folding her arms across her chest as she watched me rummage through my clothes, trying to find the workout outfit I planned to wear for the competition. “Nope,” I t
I ran my lips across her cleavage and then I stuck my tongue out to coat her beautiful pink nipples. She gasped at the feeling, and I wanted to take it a step further and nibble on them. I bit one of her nipples, tugging it into my mouth and making her whimper. But it didn’t seem like she was in pai
Gavin’s POV I didn’t bother returning to the dinner. I didn’t need to deal with Levi and his shit. He made me lose my cool in front of everybody and now they were going to see me as a monster. That wasn’t something I wanted to deal with right now. During the dinner, I sent a text to Beta Taylor,
We remained like that for a moment longer; both silent and breathing in one another. My body trembled from the aftershock of pleasure that coursed through me. He slowly pulled out of me, making me whimper from the loss of him. He unpinned me and I slid down the wall, my body still trembling. He di
Judy’s POV Gavin kissed me gently, like his resolve was starting to break. Part of me didn’t want it to break though. I liked this side of him… I liked that he was jealous of me. I ran my fingers up the inside of his shirt, allowing my palms to brush across his smooth abs. He parted his lips as h
I caught wind of a couple of girls speaking at the table next to mine. I took note of how the girls interacted with one another. The way one of them had her leg bouncing and the other kept tapping her fingers on the table. Every little detail mattered because it could help when it counted the more.
