“Is she really unworthy of the scholarship?”“Her silence speaks volumes!”“Why isn’t she defending herself??”My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan; her eyes were wide and filled with worry. She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was i
Judy’s POVCarol’s face paled immediately upon hearing Gavin’s words.I could see the panic on her face as she tried to desperately come up with a story to justify her actions. I knew Carol was a lot of things, but a cheater?She had always worked so hard to get to where she was and a part of me sti
Nan only rolled her eyes and made her way over to me, wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in for a hug.“Are you okay?” She asked me, her voice low and for my ears alone.I nodded, feeling the burning sensation of unshed tears in the back of my eyes. I refused to let them fall right here thou
“I’ll take care of you tonight,” Alpha Edward told me softly. “Don't worry about a thing. You just focus on having fun and forget about that terrible ceremony.”I smiled, grateful to him.After my 3(rd) tequila shot, I could barely walk. As soon as I slid off the barstool, I nearly fell to the groun
Gavin’s POVHer scent of Lavender and fresh vanilla was intoxicating. Even drunk, she was oddly captivating. But she was young, almost my daughter’s age and I wasn’t someone who would take advantage of a young girl. There was a reason she decided to drink so much tonight; the last thing she needed w
I internally cursed as I walked to her front door. Her purse was on her shoulder, so I reached inside to grab a set of keys. I was surprised at how dark her house was; it was as if nobody else lived there, but I knew at least her mother should be home at this hour. It was ghostly quiet, and it gave
Judy’s POVWhat in the world happened last night? How did I end up back in my bed? I looked around with a frown, nothing seemed unchanged, but there was a lingering scent that caused my heart to beat rapidly in my chest.My head was killing me from all the alcohol I drank last night. Why the hell wo
“He put you to bed?” She asked, I could hear the smile in her voice.“In the most nonsexual way possible,” I told her. “I was still fully clothed.”“Ouch,” she murmured.“What am I going to do, Nan? I made a complete fool out of myself in front of a Lycan.”“You were drunk; you can’t blame yourself
“Change of plans… take me to the place,” I told him.He furrowed his brows in response.“Why?” He asked.“Irene needs my help with the baby, that’s why,” I told him simply. “If Gavin doesn’t want to see me, then that’s fine, but I’m not cutting myself off from Irene.”He nodded and, without another
Judy’s POVMy entire body was frigid as I heard what this woman…a woman I had never even heard of before, saying that Gavin was in the shower. My entire body shook, and I could feel my heart shattering in my chest. I barely registered her words next because I was so numb from the inside out.My hear
“Well, hello there, Judy,” she said, her pleasantries easing my mind slightly.“Good morning, Mrs. Connolly,” I replied, stopping in front of her desk. “I heard Dean Griffin wanted to speak with me.”She nodded and turned back to her computer; she typed something on the screen and then turned toward
Judy’s POV“You look as if you haven’t slept in days,” Nan points out as I join her in the coffee shop near the school campus. I felt gross; I didn’t bother showering and knew I had dark circles under my eyes. “I haven’t,” I admitted. “Not since my date with Gavin.”“You still haven’t heard from h
“It’s not fair that you are letting him dictate your lie like that. How can you scare so easily, having Lycan blood?” I asked him, narrowing my eyes.“It’s because I have Lycan blood that makes it scary. I was on another Lycan’s territory. There are laws…”“It’s my fault for not telling you in the f
Judy’s POVI watched Gavin’s face go pale as he clutched the phone tightly. His eyes met mine, and I could see the turmoil, confusion, and something else lingering in them. My heart squeezed at the sight of him like this.After a long beat of silence, he finally cleared his throat.“Can you have Gam
“What happened between them?” I found myself asking.Judy smirked and stepped closer to me.“You are such a protective father,” she teased, wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her body against mine. “It’s kind of hot.”She was deflecting my question and trying to distract me; just like how
Gavin’s POVWhen I got to the mansion, I wasn’t expecting to see guests. I scowled as I stared at Judy who looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I could hear her heart pounding against her chest and her breathing picked up, like she was just caught red handed.“Who gave you permission to have
“I guess so,” she whispered. “I just hope he’ll one day see it that way too and I can return home.”That was another reason she had to stay in this mansion; she couldn’t be around matt right now without his wolf going insane and trying to rip her throat out for betraying them. She nearly tried to ki
