“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
Judy’s POVI was nervous as I pulled up to my parents’ house. I hadn’t seen my father in months. We returned to the territory late last night; I went home to the mansion to sleep and then first thing this morning I went straight to my parents’ house; the one Gavin had purchased for them right after
“I see,” I breathed. “You have no idea how badly I’ve missed you, Dad. I’ve been worried every day.”“Well, I’m home now and we don’t have to worry about something like that ever happening again. Alpha Landry made it so I won’t lose my company and we are back up and running.”Relief flooded me; thin
Judy’s POVI was standing in the presence of Gavin’s mother. Donna Landry.She stared at me with such dismay that I stood there with unease bubbling in my belly. Daisy stood beside her with her arms folded across her chest and a smug smile on her lips. The last thing I wanted right now was to have t
“Sorry,” I said, giving them both a small smile. “Didn’t mean to keep you waiting.”“Is everything okay?” My mother asked, her eyes shining with concern.I smiled, though it was forced.“Yes,” I told her. “There was a long line for the bathroom.”I hated lying to her, but I didn’t want her to know t
By the time she finished, the waiter had filled out his entire notepad and was red in the face. He flipped to a new page and said with gritted teeth, “And what may I get for you?”Chester grinned and pretty much did the same exact thing, only with a different dish.The waiter pretty much grumbled as
As we pulled up to the mansion, I frowned when I saw an unfamiliar car parked out front.“Were you expecting someone?” Irene asked, also noticing the car.“No, I don’t think so,” I murmur as I take off my seatbelt and slide out of the car.We walked to the front door and pushed it open; I immediatel
Judy’s POV“We have to get him outside,” Gavin said, his face twisted with concern as he stared down at Matt.Matt was about to shift into his wolf for the first time, and he wasn’t even 8 years old yet. No wolf had ever surfaced before the age of 18, so this was something neither of us expected to
Irene nodded.“I know what I did was wrong… I’m so sorry…”“Why did you do it? Why did you try to kill me?”“I wasn’t trying to kill you,” Irene nearly shouted as she stood to her feet. “I promise, Matt. My intention wasn’t to kill you. It was to get rid of Judy. I wanted to frame her because I was
Third Person POVIrene had never seen her father so angry at her before. For a second, she feared that he might actually banish her. She was surprised when he didn’t. She nearly got Matt killed and then tried to frame one person while unintentionally framing another. Or at least caused someone to ge
It wasn’t irrational for her to fear that, because that’s exactly what I would have done. Talking to Cassie was the last thing I wanted to do, even now. But it was necessary, so she knew she had no chance of ever seeing her son again.“I want to see my son…” she finally said, her voice coming out so
Gavin’s POVI can’t remember the last time I actually came to visit my sister. Usually, I would send one of my men to come and get a report on her condition. Part of me wanted to turn around and go home; I shouldn’t have let my mother get under my skin like this, but knowing Cassandra wanted to see
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
