Judy’s POV“I can’t believe he’s actually taking you on a date,” Nan said, a bright smile on her face. “Why are you so nervous? This is a good thing!”“Is it though?” I asked, I looked at myself in the mirror feeling a sense of unease in the pit of my belly. It was strange because Gavin didn’t reall
I swallowed the lump in my throat and grabbed a comfortable pair of shoes, putting them on slowly and deliberately.“Ready to go?” He asked when I returned to him.I nodded and followed him out of the house, avoiding the curious gazes of Nan and Sammy who were clearly watching us from around the cor
Judy’s POVI barely had time to register what was happening when we walked into The Grove. The familiar delicious scents of the food that I have come to love invaded my nose and made my stomach rumble even more than it was on our drive into the city. The hostess gave Gavin a polite smile and a bow o
He glanced at the menu and then back at me without taking it.“You’re telling me with everything on this menu, you’re going to get a cobb salad and wine?” He asked, his brows raised.My cheeks flushed, but I wasn’t going to back down.“Yes,” I said, though even I didn’t sound very convincing to myse
Judy’s POVMarcus left to fetch our order, and I stared at Gavin with my mouth hanging open. Never had I imagined that Gavin Landry would be ordering such food, especially on a date. He sat back in the booth, and I could feel his eyes on me, assessing my every facial movement.“Why are we here?” I f
“Am I doing something wrong?” He asked.Without thinking, I picked up a mozzarella ball off his plate with my fingers and dipped it in the sauce before popping it into my mouth with a grin. His eyes narrowed as he watched me take another and also pop it into my mouth. I chuckled at his awestruck exp
Judy’s POV“I can’t believe we are actually at the fair right now,” I breathed as I stared around at all the rides and the colors. The crowd was insane because the fair was only in town for a couple more days, so everybody was having fun now.“Does this make you happy?” He asked, observing me.I nod
“There’s no way in hell I’m getting on that thing,” he told me, shaking his head.I raised my brows at him and turned to look at him.“Is the big bad Lycan afraid of roller coasters?” I asked.He pressed his lips in a thin line and glared at me.“I am not afraid of anything… but I won’t get on that
“OH, Goddess, Judy. No, of course not!”“I’m having trouble believing that…” I admit.She nodded solemnly.“I get that,” she murmured. “And maybe at first, I did target you, but I quickly realized that you are an incredible person, and I was lucky to get to know you. There wasn’t a moment when I did
Judy’s POVWhat are you even doing here? That was a loaded question, with many answers. I came for answers. I came to find out if my friend was a traitor. I came to find out if she was a spy and, if so, for whom she was working. I came to find out if she was sleeping with my ex-mate. I came to find
“It was worth a shot,” I sighed.His shoulders shook with suppressed laughter.Taylor pulled into the driveway and put the car in park before turning to look at me.“I know it’s hard to see, but the Alpha truly does care about you, Miss Judy,” he tells me gently, his eyes softening. “He’s not great
Judy’s POV“Miss Judy, I was told to bring you home,” Taylor said from the doorway, staring around the room awkwardly, attempting to avoid my eyes. My mouth opened wide as I stared at him. So, Gavin didn’t trust that I would get home on my own? He had to send Beta Taylor to bring me home himself? Th
Nan: 911, get to the Villa now!There was a sense of panic in my chest as I read her text.“I have to go,” I told my mom as I hurried out of the room. She followed close behind me, trying to ask me what was going on, but I was too far gone. All I could think was that something might have happened to
Judy’s POVIf someone told me a few days ago that I’d be moving back in with my parents, having spent almost a year living in the Landry mansion, I would have laughed. But here I was, putting the last of my boxes into my childhood room. Despite that, they once sold their home to the Cash family and
I was so focused on feeding her that I didn’t notice Gavin leaning against the doorframe, watching me. There was a look I didn’t recognize in his eyes, almost a thoughtful expression. When our eyes met, it almost seemed to snap him back to the present moment.“We're going to use the mansion to hide
Judy’s POVI stared at Gavin in shock; he wasn’t smiling or laughing… he wasn’t joking. The baby in Irene’s arms belonged to Ethan. But it definitely wasn’t Irene’s baby. I turned to her as her eyes found mine, and I could see the conflict in her own eyes. She had been crying before we arrived; I co
“What is it?” Alex finally asked after a long while of silence.“I need to call my father,” Irene said, still in a daze.She grabbed her phone and swiped across the screen until she got to Gavin’s contact number. Then she pressed the call button, her breathing shaky. She’s hoping that her tone doesn
