Judy’s POV“Well, isn’t this cozy,” Harper said loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear. My eyes immediately went in that direction, as did everyone else’s. My eyes grew large when I saw Nan tensing at the table with Chester seated in front of her.My heart hammered in my chest.I knew Nan an
Before I could grasp anything, Harper grabbed Nan’s wine glass and splashed it at Nan’s dress, making everyone gasp.Nan shot to her feet, her eyes red with unshed tears and her face flushed with embarrassment. Even my parents gasped; my mother let out a sad sigh as she saw Nan’s distraught and brok
Third Person POVChester stood from the chair the moment Nan was out of sight. He grabbed Harper’s hand, his nails digging into her flesh. He wasn’t one to hurt women, but when said woman hurt his mate, all logic and rules went out the window. Harper screamed as the nails of his wolf dug into the so
Nan was seated on the couch in the far side of the room and Chester’s eyes widened.“Ladies have a couch in their bathroom?” Chester asked, amazed. He shut the door behind him and locked it so they wouldn’t be disturbed.Nan didn’t bother retorting; she stared at her hands thankful that the tears fi
Judy’s POV“Great job today, Matt,” I said proudly as we finished up our training for the evening. I was exhausted about ready to return home. It was the day after I went out to dinner with my family, and I hadn’t heard from Nan since last night. I was admittedly worried about her, but life had to g
I moaned into his mouth, my entire body feeling as though it was on fire. I felt his fingers trailing down my back, rubbing soothing circles just above the waistband of my yoga pants.“My room,” he said against my lips. “Now.”I nodded; he didn’t give me an opportunity to agree or disagree because s
Third Person POVAlpha Levi was sitting at his desk when his phone rang. He didn’t need to look at the caller ID to see who it was that was calling. He grabbed the phone and pressed the “talk” button, pressing it to his ear.“I better have good news,” he said, his tone harsher than intended.“I don’
“Judy, Nan!”I heard a familiar voice saying from across the student lounge and when I looked, my eyes grew wide.“Holy shit, she’s actually here,” Nan breathed, her eyes fixed on Sammy who was walking towards us with a bright smile on her lips.“Sammy?” I asked once she finally approached.“It’s so
Judy sucked in a sharp breath.“They just left, and nobody knew where they had gone?” She asked, tears filling her eyes.I nodded.“Yeah,” I murmured. “We searched everywhere, but they were gone. There was a note saying not to look for them and that they didn’t need us anymore. I knew she was going
I felt sick to my stomach at the memory and swallowed the bile that threatened my throat.“Gavin?” Judy asked when I hadn’t said anything.I sighed; I could lie to her or deflect the question… but cared about Matt. She should know the truth so she can help me protect him when I’m not around him.“Ye
Gavin’s POVMy mother had crossed a line tonight. I knew tonight’s dinner was going to end up disastrous, but I had no idea she would end up attacking Judy so boldly like that. I was angry and replaying the evening in my head as I drove Judy home. I was well aware of how awkward the silence was that
“I don’t follow that kind of thing,” Donna said, rolling her eyes.“It was all over the news,” I countered.Something about her brushing it off after putting me down didn’t’ sit right with me. I was starting to suspect that maybe she knew about the competition, and she was just looking to put me dow
Judy’s POVMy blood went cold at the sound of her question. I stared at her and she stared back at me with a glint of humor in her eyes. I wanted to vomit at that moment; all the food I had just eaten resurfaced.I could feel Gavin’s agitation towards his mother, but he remained quiet, just glaring
Donna sighed, tossing aside what she was going to say a moment ago and then she stood to her feet.“I guess we should go eat then,” she said as she eyed us both carefully.Gavin stood; his hand still entwined with mine. It was almost like he was afraid of letting me go and I found my heart skipping
Judy’s POVMy heart weighed heavy in my chest as I stared up at Gavin. He had a scowl on his face and he looked like he wanted to punch something at the thought of his sister. Gavin hadn’t told me much about her, but I knew she fell on hard times. She wasn’t like the rest of the Landry’s. She cut ti
“Madam Landry, your son and his date have arrived,” Doug announced, stepping aside for us to enter.Donna Landry wore one of her gorgeous gowns and her jet-black hair was curled around her features, crowning her heart-shaped face. She was a gorgeous woman and you’d never be able to tell she had chil
Judy’s POVThe manor was gorgeous; it was everything the magazines had said it was. It was in a secluded part of the Silver Crescent pack, so I never had the privilege of actually seeing it. In the beginning of the small forest, there was a pearl gate that led up the driveway and it was guarded by a
