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
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
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
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
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’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 I wasn’t sure what I was expecting when I arrived at the mansion, but it was gorgeous and almost as big as Gavin’s villa. My mouth nearly fell open as we drove toward the giant stairs that led to the front door. “This place is fully staffed,” Taylor explained. “It only doesn’t have a
I smiled. “That’s very kind of you,” I told her. “But I’m okay for right now. Maybe later?” She nodded. “Of course,” she said thoughtfully. Taylor turned me. “I have to leave now but Gavin will be here later,” he assured me. “Harper will take you to your room and help you get settled.” I
I knew she had an early morning class and would most likely be in the student lounge after her class. I arrived towards the end of that early morning class, so I’d be able to catch her before I had to get to my first class of the day. I walked into the student lounge and waited in our usual spot.
Judy’s POV I sat on my bed, my heart deep in my stomach and tears filling my eyes. Gavin didn’t need to speak for me to know exactly what he was about to say. I already knew it… we weren’t going out tonight. “Is everything okay?” I asked, my voice coming out hollow and unfamiliar. “I’m sorry,
She looked like she was about to ask me further questions about what I meant; I was hoping she wouldn’t though. I didn’t want to get into it and my family issues were not something to gossip about. She seemed to be able to read that on my face though because she closed her mouth and nodded. I let
Judy’s POV Gavin wanted to take me out tonight. He texted me to tell me to be ready by a certain time and I was more than eager to go out with him. After I left the kitchen this morning, I went straight to my room to take a long bath. I needed to clear my head and wash away all the negative though
“I don’t know if I’m serious about anything,” he blurted, and I could see the panic in his eyes. “I haven’t even thought about this long enough to know what I actually want. I never thought I’d find my mate, Judy. I never thought I even wanted a mate in the first place.” “Wait… what?” I asked, my
Judy’s POV Chester stared at me with a shocked expression, his mouth practically on the ground. I could see the horror in his eyes, and it made me look away from him again. I didn’t want him to feel bad for me, but I also wanted to be honest with him about everything. It seemed he was struggling w
Gavin: Sorry I couldn’t come over last night. I’d like to see you tonight though. Dinner tonight? I couldn’t help the smile that lit up my face. I pressed the reply button and typed out my own message. Me: That sounds great! I pressed send and then I quickly got out of bed. I didn’t bother cha
Judy’s POV “A…are you serious right now??” Harper asked, taken aback by Chester’s words. He nodded and sighed. “Yes, Harper. I’m sorry,” he murmured, and then he walked past her and back inside. Harper stood frozen, her face red with anger and hurt all at the same time. My heart hurt for her;
“Nan…” I whispered. “What is it?” “I’m so sorry…” she said hoarsely as she pulled her eyes away from me to look at the ground. “But I can’t stay here…” “Wait what?” I asked, my brows raising. “Why not? What’s wrong? Please, talk to me…” She shook her head; she was trying hard to keep the tears
