Gavin’s POV“I picked up the pink gems you requested,” Beta Taylor said as I walked into the villa. He held out a long black case to me and I took it without hesitation. I opened it and smiled at the pretty string of pink gems. This would look great on the mirror in Irene’s new car. She was going to
She opened it with eagerness and when she saw the pink gems inside, she gasped loudly, her eyes lighting up with excitement and a large smile spreading across her glossy lips.“Oh, Dad!” She gasped as she wrapped her arms around me, hugging me tightly. “I love it! Thank you so much.”She pulled away
Judy’s POVAll three of them stared at me. Irene and Matt with smiles on their faces and Gavin with a frown.I stood in front of them with my eyes wide and my heart thudding violently in my chest. I wasn’t sure what to say as an excuse to get out of this. There was no way I was going to have dinner
Gavin sat down at the table, and I hesitantly sat beside him.One maid scurried into the room holding a bottle of wine and another bottle of apple juice. She immediately poured Irene a glass of wine and Matt a glass of apple juice. She walked around the table towards Gavin and filled his glass with
Third Person POVLater in the evening, Irene sat curled up on the couch, staring at her phone. Ethan told her that he would call at 8 pm and now it was 9:30 pm. She tried calling him a couple of times about a half hour ago, but he didn’t answer. She texted him as well, but her messages were left unr
“Why are you asking?” He countered; his eyes narrowed in her direction.She sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and nibbled on it gently as she thought about how to answer his question.Truth be told, she wasn’t sure why she wanted to know. Maybe to prove that the mate bond doesn’t matter. She’s no
Judy’s POVThe house was quiet when I returned home after having dinner at Gavin’s house. It was always quiet these days.The house felt so empty with my mother hiding away in her room, not a sound to be made. I put my coat on the hook and made my way upstairs. I paused outside of her bedroom door w
“I’ve known you for a while, Judy. You can’t bullshit me.”“What do you expect me to say, Ethan? That I’m not okay? That my mother is depressed and barely eats? Isn’t this what you wanted? For me to suffer? So, why are you acting like you care right now when we both know you don’t!”“Judy!” My mothe
I thought about calling Dr. Pierce to have her take a look at her, but Judy soon stirred, giving me a sliver of hope that se was coming to. Though, the waiting didn’t end there. She continued to sleep and made small noises for the next few hours. I put a warm cloth over her face and continued to kee
Gavin’s POVIt was almost like her scent had vanished from pack property. We were able to track her to the forest line, but then suddenly it was gone completely. Though, I thought I smelled a bit of Ethan as well which wasn’t surprising. If they were in cahoots with one another, it meant Sammy could
Something stopped her from resisting me though; her eyes flashed over to the black wolf, and we watched as she shifted forms, returning to her human state.My jaw nearly hit the ground; Sammy stood in all her glory. She was completely naked and admittedly had a great body. Her hair was long and drap
I ignored the gasp of my mother and the reddened face of my father. I didn’t want to disrespect either of them, but they were treating me like I was a child, incapable of making my own choices. This was my life, and I got to choose what I did with it. I would forever be grateful to them for raising
Judy’s POV“You cannot tell me who I can and cannot see, Dad,” I told him, my arms folded across my chest. I’m usually compliant and I don’t typically talk back to my parents, but at this point, I was furious. My father had seriously crossed the line and then he had the audacity to hang up on Gavin
He handed me the phone that we confiscated from Sammy and pressed the play button. I watched as the big black wolf leapt in the air and rescued Judy. My stomach twisted at the sight; I wondered if Judy knew that it was Sammy that saved her.The office door opened again, and Taylor walked in.“We wer
Judy’s POVI don’t remember leaving the villa; I don’t remember getting into my car. I have no idea how I managed to go from the villa back to my parents’ house. Everything was such a blur. I was in a daze when I got out of my car. My mother immediately ran out of the house, tears in her eyes and a
“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
