“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
Judy’s POV“Return the favor?” I asked, my heart falling deep into my stomach. “What are you talking about?”He cleared his throat and straightened his posture; the soft expression he wore for most of the day was gone completely and now it was a cold look that sent a chill down my spine. I instincti
But instead of answering the call, he shoved it back into his pocket, letting it ring. The ringing soon stopped, and my frown deepened.“Why do you keep ignoring that person?” I asked.“It’s not your concern,” he murmured, his eyes dark.Then, a thought occurred to me, and I found myself feeling par
Judy’s POV“That asshole!” Nan gasped as we stood in line at the campus coffee shop, waiting to take our orders. “I can’t believe he had the nerve to do that to you last night. And to involve your mother??”It was the next morning after Ethan came to see me and I just finished telling Nan about what
“Yes,” I whispered softly. My wolf’s ears perked at my admission. This was the first time I was admitting out loud that I was in love with Gavin Landry. “I love him.”Irene’s eyes grew wide, not expecting that I would spill my secret so easily.“No shit?” She asked, her eyes even wider as she took i
Judy’s POVAfter how I spoke to my father and how hurt my mother was when I left, the last place I wanted to be right now was home. Nan went to spend the evening with Chester, leaving Irene and me alone with the baby. I already made the decision to spend the night and then figure out the rest in the
It was true, the Silver Crescent pack and the Redmoon pack have kind of merged into one pack with Gavin being the Alpha. It’ll be that way until the Redmoon is appointed an Alpha. I do feel better though knowing Ethan is out of the running.“Now that Sammy is no longer a factor, will my father let y
Judy’s POVI wanted to leave, despite Gavin’s protests. I didn’t want to go home though. So, after a back and forth, he decided to bring me to the mansion. Now that Sammy and Ethan had been caught, he figured it was safe enough for me to return to the mansion and stay with Irene.She was overly thri
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

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
