“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 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
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 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
“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
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 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
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
“Change of plans… take me to the place,” I told him.He furrowed his brows in response.“Why?” He asked.“Irene needs my help with the baby, that’s why,” I told him simply. “If Gavin doesn’t want to see me, then that’s fine, but I’m not cutting myself off from Irene.”He nodded and, without another
Judy’s POVMy entire body was frigid as I heard what this woman…a woman I had never even heard of before, saying that Gavin was in the shower. My entire body shook, and I could feel my heart shattering in my chest. I barely registered her words next because I was so numb from the inside out.My hear
“Well, hello there, Judy,” she said, her pleasantries easing my mind slightly.“Good morning, Mrs. Connolly,” I replied, stopping in front of her desk. “I heard Dean Griffin wanted to speak with me.”She nodded and turned back to her computer; she typed something on the screen and then turned toward
Judy’s POV“You look as if you haven’t slept in days,” Nan points out as I join her in the coffee shop near the school campus. I felt gross; I didn’t bother showering and knew I had dark circles under my eyes. “I haven’t,” I admitted. “Not since my date with Gavin.”“You still haven’t heard from h
“It’s not fair that you are letting him dictate your lie like that. How can you scare so easily, having Lycan blood?” I asked him, narrowing my eyes.“It’s because I have Lycan blood that makes it scary. I was on another Lycan’s territory. There are laws…”“It’s my fault for not telling you in the f
Judy’s POVI watched Gavin’s face go pale as he clutched the phone tightly. His eyes met mine, and I could see the turmoil, confusion, and something else lingering in them. My heart squeezed at the sight of him like this.After a long beat of silence, he finally cleared his throat.“Can you have Gam
“What happened between them?” I found myself asking.Judy smirked and stepped closer to me.“You are such a protective father,” she teased, wrapping her arms around my neck and pressing her body against mine. “It’s kind of hot.”She was deflecting my question and trying to distract me; just like how
Gavin’s POVWhen I got to the mansion, I wasn’t expecting to see guests. I scowled as I stared at Judy who looked like a deer caught in the headlights. I could hear her heart pounding against her chest and her breathing picked up, like she was just caught red handed.“Who gave you permission to have
“I guess so,” she whispered. “I just hope he’ll one day see it that way too and I can return home.”That was another reason she had to stay in this mansion; she couldn’t be around matt right now without his wolf going insane and trying to rip her throat out for betraying them. She nearly tried to ki
