Judy’s POV“So, what’s going on between you and my father?” Irene asked, making my entire body freeze.It was the next day; the day after I won the competition. We were gathered in my suite, getting dressed for the celebration. I was a bit nervous about it as is because I really wasn’t a fan of that
“That means so much,” I breathed, tears burning my eyes. “It’s all so surreal if I am to be honest. It feels like a dream I’m going to wake up from at any moment.”She laughed and patted me on the back.“Well, start believing it, because you are kind of a star now. Every shifter in the world knows y
Gavin’s POV“Alpha Landry, how does it feel to have the winner of the Gamma competition be a part of your territory?”“Will you be recruiting Judy Montague for your Elite Force?”“What is your personal relationship with the winner of the competition?”The paparazzi were relentless; no matter how man
I suddenly couldn’t take it anymore; I wasn’t sure if it was because of my run-in with the paparazzi, or the fact that Judy was staring at me like I killed her cat, but I wasn’t going to stand around and let this continue.It was only fucking dinner, and she was going to see it from my perspective.
Judy’s POVI watched as Gavin growled a curse through the hallway, nearly shaking the entire building. I was shocked when he took off, my mouth agape.What the hell just happened?I wasn’t sure how long I was standing like that for, but soon, Sammy, Tabby, Nan, and Irene were piling into the hallway
“You crossed a major line, Daisy,” I said through my teeth. “What the fuck were you thinking??”Her eyes narrowed and I saw a flicker of fear in her gaze.“I have no idea what you’re talking about, Gavin…” she denied, making me scoff.Did she really think I wouldn’t find out about her games? Did she
Judy’s POVI felt so incredibly stupid. Of course, Ethan had something to do with this. How could he not? He was always planning or scheming something. I should have known he wouldn’t stop and that he’d use Daisy to get his way.I looked at Gavin’s rigid back as he processed this new information. He
“I thought… I mean… yeah,” I said softly. “We aren’t…” I couldn’t finish the sentence; I hated how vulnerable and weak I sounded at this moment.He cupped my face with his hands, forcing me to keep my gaze on his.“I don’t fuck multiple women at once, Judy,” he told me firmly. “It’s messy and never
“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
“It was worth a shot,” I sighed.His shoulders shook with suppressed laughter.Taylor pulled into the driveway and put the car in park before turning to look at me.“I know it’s hard to see, but the Alpha truly does care about you, Miss Judy,” he tells me gently, his eyes softening. “He’s not great
Judy’s POV“Miss Judy, I was told to bring you home,” Taylor said from the doorway, staring around the room awkwardly, attempting to avoid my eyes. My mouth opened wide as I stared at him. So, Gavin didn’t trust that I would get home on my own? He had to send Beta Taylor to bring me home himself? Th
Nan: 911, get to the Villa now!There was a sense of panic in my chest as I read her text.“I have to go,” I told my mom as I hurried out of the room. She followed close behind me, trying to ask me what was going on, but I was too far gone. All I could think was that something might have happened to
Judy’s POVIf someone told me a few days ago that I’d be moving back in with my parents, having spent almost a year living in the Landry mansion, I would have laughed. But here I was, putting the last of my boxes into my childhood room. Despite that, they once sold their home to the Cash family and
I was so focused on feeding her that I didn’t notice Gavin leaning against the doorframe, watching me. There was a look I didn’t recognize in his eyes, almost a thoughtful expression. When our eyes met, it almost seemed to snap him back to the present moment.“We're going to use the mansion to hide
Judy’s POVI stared at Gavin in shock; he wasn’t smiling or laughing… he wasn’t joking. The baby in Irene’s arms belonged to Ethan. But it definitely wasn’t Irene’s baby. I turned to her as her eyes found mine, and I could see the conflict in her own eyes. She had been crying before we arrived; I co
“What is it?” Alex finally asked after a long while of silence.“I need to call my father,” Irene said, still in a daze.She grabbed her phone and swiped across the screen until she got to Gavin’s contact number. Then she pressed the call button, her breathing shaky. She’s hoping that her tone doesn
