“Daddy!” Irene gasped, rushing to his side. “Don’t be rude to Ethan’s family.” “I’m not the one being rude,” he said through his teeth. “It was a misunderstanding,” Sophia went on to say, her words coming out hoarse. “We didn’t know who you were.” “And that makes it okay?” Gavin asked, raising
Judy’s POV “Mom, you can’t be serious!” I gasped. “How could you agree to such a thing.” “I know it’s not the ideal situation but—” “Not the ideal situation?!” “Don’t raise your voice at me, Judy,” my mother scolded. “We need the money, and I am running out of options.” “If they are so kee
“He’s a ruthless Alpha,” my mother warned. “He’s a Lycan chairman, and very powerful. Be careful around him. Make sure to show him respect.” I nodded. My mother finished cleaning our mess in the bathroom before she turned and walked out, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I stared at myself in t
Gavin’s POV The rage I felt when I saw Ethan’s family tormenting Judy was beyond what I had ever felt in my life. I was honestly surprised that I was able to control myself. Staying at this barbeque wasn’t something I wanted to do, but Judy pleaded with me to let it go for right now and I wasn’t g
I didn’t bother sticking around to hear any more of what they had to say; I was done for the evening and if I had to drag Judy out of there by force then I would. Thankfully, it didn’t come to that. Judy said her quick goodbyes, though most of them went unanswered, and then she hurried after me, kee
Third Person POV The look Ethan had on his face when Judy left the party with her father did not go unnoticed by Irene. There was a look of longing; almost like he was a lost child, and it made Irene’s heart ache. She bit her bottom lip, refusing to cry in front of Ethan’s family. She had already
She stood up from the bed, unable to truly rest. She walked over to his drawers and started to mindlessly rummage through them. There wasn’t anything in them besides some clothes that most likely no longer fit him. She sighed and went to his nightstand to rummage through that as well. There wasn’t
Third Person POV Ethan returned to his room later that night after saying goodnight to his family. He was planning on taking Irene home, but when he saw that she wasn’t there, he frowned. His room was completely empty. He grabbed his phone and checked his messages, seeing that he had a missed text
“Oh, sorry, Dad. I thought you said that session was only moved,” she murmured. “I told her the session had been moved. But when she got here, she said she wasn’t feeling well and then left. That’s all I know…” Something wasn’t sitting right in the pit of my stomach, but Irene had no reason to lie
Gavin’s POV I thought I picked up Judy’s scent a moment ago. I hadn’t been able to speak with her since this morning due to being so busy today, but I told Irene to text her and let her know that the tutoring session was moved to a new location, then I decided to just cancel it for the day because
If Judy wanted to play games, then Irene could play ten times better. “And what does this Judy have that I don’t?” Skyla asked; she had noticed that Gavin barely spared her a second glance and ignored her subtle advances. Now she knew the reasoning behind that… it was because of Judy. “Nothing,”
Third Person POV Irene knew exactly what she was doing. The look on Judy’s face was exactly what she was going for. She wanted Judy to see Skyla with her father and to think that Skyla was a better match. Judy was no match when it came to Skyla, and everybody knew it. Including Skyla. Just that
I chewed the inside of my cheek and then nodded. I guess it did answer my question; this was only sex, and he only had that one thing on his mind when he suggested this little arrangement. I knew it wasn’t anything more than that, but still, it made my stomach hurt a little. There was still a part o
Harper rolled her eyes. “Don’t you ladies have anything better to do?” She asked. Folding her arms across her chest and narrowing her eyes. Chester grinned. “Now Harper, no need to be jealous,” he said, nudging her shoulder. “You know you are still my favorite.” “I’m not jealous,” she retort
Judy’s POV Tonight was the first night that Gavin had actually stayed the night with me. I have been here for a few days, and usually after our time together, he leaves after I fall asleep. I wasn’t expecting to wake up and find him still in my room, sleeping in my bed with his shirt off. It seems
“We really appreciate this, Alpha,” Chanse said thoughtfully. I nodded. “How about I take you and the crew out and I can show you around for the day?” I suggested. “Unless you’re in a rush to get started, then I’ll leave you be.” “I wasn’t planning on starting until tomorrow, so a tour would b
Gavin’s POV Skyla Sinclair definitely had some timing. Getting dressed and watching Judy get dressed as well was difficult, especially when I wasn’t able to finish, but there would be time for that later. We would continue where we left off as soon as my workday was done, and I was able to get h
