Nan nodded; he did come all this way, after all. It was only right that he was allowed to sleep on the couch.“It pulls out,” she told him.He seemed to have relaxed. He soon cleared his throat and turned to her.“First aid kit?” He asked as he headed towards the bathroom.“It’s behind the door,” sh
Judy’s POVI hate sitting here like a waiting duck; it was only Tabby and me while everyone else went to search for more flags. Tabby was staring out at the ocean, watching the waves jolting the canoes we needed to take to get off this island. There were three in total for our team, just enough to g
But his attempts were futile; I still had the upper hand.After their initial shock wore off, the others lunged at me as well, trying to get me off their supposed leader. With the help of Tabby, we were able to get them all on the ground, gasping for breath and begging for us to stop.“Surrender,” T
Gavin’s POV“Alpha Gavin….?” I heard a voice from behind me as I was heading to the arena.I paused when Megan, a woman I had once had a fling with, walked towards me.Megan was tall and slender with long blonde hair and ocean-blue eyes. She always wore elegant clothing, which made sense because her
Judy was not mine to care for or protect, so I wasn’t sure why a scratch bothered me so much.“Looks like we have our winners,” Megan whispered from behind me. “Any of them from your pack?”My eyes remained fixed on Judy. I didn’t want to engage in a conversation with Megan; I mainly just wanted to
Her breath hitched, and her eyes grew wide as I pulled her into a dark corner, secluded from the eyes of everyone around us.“Gavin,” she breathed as I pressed her against the wall. “What are you—?” She started to say, but I didn’t give her a chance before my lips were pressed against hers. The kiss
Third Person POVIrene sat in the parlor at the villa, her hands trembling as her thumb was hard at work, scrolling through the many pictures she and Ethan had taken together this past year.All her hopes and dreams for the future were gone now that she knew Ethan wasn’t being truthful. All the lies
It was a good punch, too, enough for his nose to take a bit of damage and blood to trickle out. Though Irene looked small and dainty like a princess, she was Gavin Landry’s daughter. Of course, he had her train at a young age for a bit of combat and self-defense.She wasn’t completely helpless, and
Judy sucked in a sharp breath.“They just left, and nobody knew where they had gone?” She asked, tears filling her eyes.I nodded.“Yeah,” I murmured. “We searched everywhere, but they were gone. There was a note saying not to look for them and that they didn’t need us anymore. I knew she was going
I felt sick to my stomach at the memory and swallowed the bile that threatened my throat.“Gavin?” Judy asked when I hadn’t said anything.I sighed; I could lie to her or deflect the question… but cared about Matt. She should know the truth so she can help me protect him when I’m not around him.“Ye
Gavin’s POVMy mother had crossed a line tonight. I knew tonight’s dinner was going to end up disastrous, but I had no idea she would end up attacking Judy so boldly like that. I was angry and replaying the evening in my head as I drove Judy home. I was well aware of how awkward the silence was that
“I don’t follow that kind of thing,” Donna said, rolling her eyes.“It was all over the news,” I countered.Something about her brushing it off after putting me down didn’t’ sit right with me. I was starting to suspect that maybe she knew about the competition, and she was just looking to put me dow
Judy’s POVMy blood went cold at the sound of her question. I stared at her and she stared back at me with a glint of humor in her eyes. I wanted to vomit at that moment; all the food I had just eaten resurfaced.I could feel Gavin’s agitation towards his mother, but he remained quiet, just glaring
Donna sighed, tossing aside what she was going to say a moment ago and then she stood to her feet.“I guess we should go eat then,” she said as she eyed us both carefully.Gavin stood; his hand still entwined with mine. It was almost like he was afraid of letting me go and I found my heart skipping
Judy’s POVMy heart weighed heavy in my chest as I stared up at Gavin. He had a scowl on his face and he looked like he wanted to punch something at the thought of his sister. Gavin hadn’t told me much about her, but I knew she fell on hard times. She wasn’t like the rest of the Landry’s. She cut ti
“Madam Landry, your son and his date have arrived,” Doug announced, stepping aside for us to enter.Donna Landry wore one of her gorgeous gowns and her jet-black hair was curled around her features, crowning her heart-shaped face. She was a gorgeous woman and you’d never be able to tell she had chil
Judy’s POVThe manor was gorgeous; it was everything the magazines had said it was. It was in a secluded part of the Silver Crescent pack, so I never had the privilege of actually seeing it. In the beginning of the small forest, there was a pearl gate that led up the driveway and it was guarded by a
