“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
Judy’s POV“Well, isn’t this cozy,” Harper said loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear. My eyes immediately went in that direction, as did everyone else’s. My eyes grew large when I saw Nan tensing at the table with Chester seated in front of her.My heart hammered in my chest.I knew Nan an
Before I could grasp anything, Harper grabbed Nan’s wine glass and splashed it at Nan’s dress, making everyone gasp.Nan shot to her feet, her eyes red with unshed tears and her face flushed with embarrassment. Even my parents gasped; my mother let out a sad sigh as she saw Nan’s distraught and brok
Third Person POVChester stood from the chair the moment Nan was out of sight. He grabbed Harper’s hand, his nails digging into her flesh. He wasn’t one to hurt women, but when said woman hurt his mate, all logic and rules went out the window. Harper screamed as the nails of his wolf dug into the so
Nan was seated on the couch in the far side of the room and Chester’s eyes widened.“Ladies have a couch in their bathroom?” Chester asked, amazed. He shut the door behind him and locked it so they wouldn’t be disturbed.Nan didn’t bother retorting; she stared at her hands thankful that the tears fi
Judy’s POV“Great job today, Matt,” I said proudly as we finished up our training for the evening. I was exhausted about ready to return home. It was the day after I went out to dinner with my family, and I hadn’t heard from Nan since last night. I was admittedly worried about her, but life had to g
I moaned into his mouth, my entire body feeling as though it was on fire. I felt his fingers trailing down my back, rubbing soothing circles just above the waistband of my yoga pants.“My room,” he said against my lips. “Now.”I nodded; he didn’t give me an opportunity to agree or disagree because s
“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
Something stopped her from resisting me though; her eyes flashed over to the black wolf, and we watched as she shifted forms, returning to her human state.My jaw nearly hit the ground; Sammy stood in all her glory. She was completely naked and admittedly had a great body. Her hair was long and drap
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
