My wolf 21- 40

1 felt nauseated and filled with fury .

1 struggled against him which only made him hold me tighter .

It was no secret that he was much stronger than me despite all the training I had in my defense classes .

It didn help that he hurt my body and made me weaker as a person , not to mention my wolf was blocking me so I couldnt channel any of her strength .

He bit my lower lip , causing me to gasp in pain .

That was enough time for him to shove his tongue into my mouth .

I pushed at his chest as he started to push me towards my bed .

Panic was striking me so fast that I was losing my train of thought .

In a rush , I bit down on his tongue as hard as I could , making me stop kissing me and howl in pain .

I pushed at him again , but he refused to let go of me .

Instead , his lips found the nape of my neck , right above his mark which refused to fade after his rejection .noveldrama

He bit just above the mark , and I felt him sucking on it hard .

Ethan , get off me ! I demanded .

I felt his smile against the nape of my neck as he released my flesh from his teeth .

Gladly , he muttered just as he let me go and I fell to the ground with a thud .

My neck throbbed from his hard kissing , biting , and sucking .

I reached my shaky fingers up to touch the spot and I winced when I felt the hickey forming on my skin .

I let out distressed whimper which he quickly shushed .

When I looked up at him , I saw that he had pulled out his phone and , on the screen , I noticed Irenes name flashing across .

She was calling him ; of course , she was , I thought to mysel He answered the call and turned his back to me .

Hey , babe , he said sweetly .

His tone completely changed from bitter to loving in a matter of seconds .

I pulled myself up to my feet using my bed and I wrapped my arms around my body like I was desperately trying to hold myself together .

Yeah , I just stepped out for a few .

Ill be home soon though .

Want me to pick you up anything to eat ? He paused for another moment ; I sat on my bed , my legs refusing to work any longer .

Tears burned in my eyes , but I refused to let them fall while he was standing in my bedroom .

I wasnt going to let him see me weaken .

Sure , Ill surprise you , he replied kindly .

Ill see you soon .

I love you , A jab of pain hit my chest , and I winced like he had just slapped me .

He hung up the phone and then turned to me .

Look , I came here to tell you that you need about $ 500,000 if you want to visit your father in prison , he told me , shoving his phone back into his pocket .

If I remember correctly , thats about the same amount of money ur loan payment at school is I couldnt speak ; I stared numbly at the ground .

He stepped towards me and lowered himself , so he was at eye level , forcing me to look into his eyes .

If you want to see your father , give up school and use the loan to pay .

Youll be able to see him getting tortured to the brink of death behind bars , Ethan sneered .

Or you can become my mistress , and Ill pay off his debt entirely .

Youll still have to give up school , but itll save him from being tortured .

The choice is yours , Judy .

I swallowed the lump in my throat , my entire body shuddering with pent up fury .

He smiled as he straightened Chapter 0021 his posture .

No matter the choice , Judy , youll always be mine .

Its best if you remember that .

Now , if youll excuse me .

I have a fiancé to tend to .

Without another word , he turned and left my room , leaving me alone with my thoughts .

I spent the remainder of the night lying in bed; tears spilling out of my eyes .

I had a bad feeling about what was about to happen , and it was making me feel sick to my stomach .

At some point , my wolf unblocked me , probably sensing that I needed her comfort after what Ethan had just put me through .

↑ How could he do this to me ? How could he do this to my family ? My poor father was lying in prison because of him , and there was nothing I could do .

Hours after Ethan had left , I finally started to fall asleep .

However , I was brutally awoken by the pain coursing through my veins ; it felt as if my entire insities were on fire starting from the mark on my neck .

I screamed out in agony as I put my hand over the mark ; every single bone in my body ached .

My wolf whimpered and cried along with me , also feeling the same pain .

Mate , I heard my wolf crying .

Another … woman ! It was then that I realized what she was trying to say .

Chapter 0022 Judys POV The pain that wracked my body was insufferable ; I cried out , hoping that my mother would hear and that she could do something to help me .

But the hallway outside my room remained quiet with only the sounds of my agony filling it .

My wolf was also whimpering in pain which drowned out any coherent thought .

Ive only felt minor pain in the past when he kissed Irene , but this was too much for me to handle .

This was the pain of him sleeping with her .

I could almost hear the sounds of their panting and moans as if I were in the room with them .

I could hear all the things he was doing with her , and it was torture .

Tears streamed down my cheeks as I gritted my teeth , praying to the Moon Goddess for the pain to subside .

What had 1 done to deserve such a cruel punishment ? My eyes were drawn to the shirt that was thrown over the edge of my laundry basket .

It was Gavins shirt ; the one I had yet to wash and give back to him .

If I were to be hones , I forgot all about it .

I briefly wondered if it still smelled like him .

Biting back the heavy amount of pain that consumed me , I managed to stretch enough to grab the shirt and pull it towards me .

The moment my fingers touched the soft fabric , his scent filled my nose and wrapped around me like awarm and soothing blanket .

Even my wolf was calmer .

I hugged the shirt to my chest , letting his scent fill me .

The pain began to subside , and I was able to block out the sounds I was hearing from Ethans lovemaking .

I closed my eyes , keeping the shirt close to me .

After a few minutes , I was finally able to drift off to sleep .

The thought of Gavin filled my mind , and I was immediately brought back to that night in his VIP suite .

Gavins lips found mine as he kissed me with a heated passion .noveldrama

My heart was racing as I pressed myself close to him , basking in his scent and warmth as I fought to deepen the loss .

His tongue glided across mine playfully and our lips danced together in beautiful harmony .

He was shirtless and my fingers roamed across his broad chest , feeling , every single one of his abs beneath my fingertips .

His fingers explored my body as well which was when I realized I was completely naked .

I wasnt shy though ; 1 didnt need to be shy because there was some part of me that knew this wasnt real .

This was a world and scenario that I created in my own head and didnt have to shy away from the man before me .

He lifted me up and pinned me against the wall , using his body to help keep me upright .

I wrapped my legs around his broad waist as he brought his lips down the nape of my neck and sucked on the spot where Ethans mark was .

In this scenario , Ethans mark was gone .

I didnt have to look in the mirror to know that it wasnt there .

I heard a low growl from Gavin just before he whispered , Mine … My eyes flew open , and I sat up in bed , my head spinning and sweat dripping down the side of my face .

I swallowed a few times as I looked around my bedroom .

I just had a steamy dream about Gavin Landry .

I reached my hands up to touch my face and I noticed how hot it was .

I took a deep and shaky breath .

I could not be thinking like that towards Gavn .

I had to get my head straight before I went to his house later today .

I promised that I would start my tutoring job this afternoon and I couldnt go there with a messy head .

Chapter 0022 I shook the thought of my dream out of my head and quickly got out of bed .

I went into my bathroom to clean up , pausing at the mirror when I noticed how disheveled I looked .

My hair was a complete mess , my face was pale , and I had dark bags under my eyes .

but that wasnt the part that drew my attention ; my mouth nearly dropped when I saw the large hickey on my neck made by Ethan .

Chapter 0023 I scowled at it in the mirror .

I couldnt be seen with his hickey on my neck ! I had to cover this up somehow .

I decided to use a scarf .

After I showered and got dressed , 1 grabbed a scarf that paired nicely with my blouse and jeans .

I tied it around my neck and took a deep breath before leaving my room .

My mother made it known that she wasnt very happy that disrespected our future Alpha .

I told her that I wasnt going to do what Ethan asked me to do and that we could find another way to make money .

Honestly , Judy .

Just do what hes asking .

It cant be that hard .

Your fathers life is at stake , she pleaded , tears filling her eyes .

/ 1 I remained silent , not wanting to discuss this any further .

Later in the afternoon , I took an Uber to Gavins house .

I was relieved to see that only Adam and Matt were home , which meant I didnt need to have any awkward encounters .

Adam took the time to show me around the house ; he guided me to all the rooms that I could use and some of the rooms needed to stay clear of , which included Gavins study , and the entire upstairs floor .

The interview was only the first step , Adam said as he turned to face me .

You might have proven yourself to Master Matthew , but you now need to prove yourself to me None of his other tutors had been successful in getting him to complete his tasks .

Your job is to get him to complete his tasks .

Understood ? I will try my best , I answered as confidently as I could .

Adam smirked and folded his arms across my chest .noveldrama

No offense , Miss Judy .

But 1 personally dont believe you have what it takes to truly handle this boy .

Even those who passed the interview process were unsuccessful .

Hes complicated child and its going to take a lot more than a pretty face and good fighting skills to get him to listen .

Third Person POV Judy looked taken aback by Adams words , but what he said was the truth .

Just that morning , he was speaking with Ethan while Miss Irene was getting dressed for the day Ethan told him that Judy had never been around kids before and she didnt know the first thing about them .

He confessed that hed known Judy for quite a while and that he didnt think she could handle this job .

Judy at one point confessed to Ethan about her very serious condition that she claims to have managed , but it makes her less intelligent when it comes to certain subjects Once Adam learned from Ethan what Judys condition was , he felt a bit deceived .

Adam made a mental note to keep a close eye on Miss Judy and report anything he found suspicious Ethan seemed oddly curious about Matt and his interests as well this morning .

I notice he doesnt do much around here and I wanted to know what I should get him for his birthday .

I know its not for months , but if Im going to be in Irenes life as her husband , Matt will be my brother in law .

Id like to start thinking of these things now .

Adam didnt think that was too strange , so he nodded thoughtfully .

Well , hes into video games right now .

Actually , he has a tablet that he plays on .

He has a favorite game in particular that he plays but he isnt allowed to play it right now .

Chapter 0023 Ethan raised his brows .

Why is that ? He asked .

Because it takes up too much of his time .

He will spend all day locked away in his room playing that damn game .

Getting him to do anything and cooperate is impossible .

Can I see the tablet ? Ethan asked .

Maybe Ill get him a new game ; an educational one .

51 +

Chapter 0024 Adam nodded and grabbed the tablet , handing it to Ethan .

Ill return this later .

Thank you for your help , Adam , Ethan said kindly before leaving the kitchen .

Thank you for the warning about Miss Judy .

Ill keep a close eye on her , Adam retorted .

Ill see if theres someone more capable for the position .

Ethan nodded , a smile playing on his lips .

Adam all but forgot about that conversation until a couple of hours later when he was searching the entire house for Matt but couldnt find him .

He wasnt usually hanging out in his bedroom at this time , but that was the only place he hadnt looked .

Ethan and Irene were long gone for the day , so the house remained quiet and fairly empty besides the staff running around Adam knocked on Matts bedroom door and heard him huffing about .

Frowning , he opened the door and spotted him on his bed with his tablet in his hands .

Master Matthew , how did you get that ? Adam asked , stepping into his bedroom .

Get out ! Im busy ! Matt scowled ; his eyes glued on the tablet .

Master Matthew , I insist that you hand that over right away .

You know you arent allowed to have that right now .

Your tutor will be here soon , and you need to be prepared .

I said get out !! Matt hissed as he grabbed a picture frame with sharp corners and threw it as hard as he could across the room , aiming directly at Adams face .

Adam was able to get out of the way quickly and the frame shattered on the wall behind him .

He whipped around to face Matt who kept his attention on the game .

Matt he tried to say but Matt grabbed more pictures and other hard objects and started to throw them at Adam , ordering him to leave his room that instant .

Adam felt he had no choice but to leave .

When Matt got like that , he was dangerous and would stop at nothing to get what he wanted .

The only one who was able to calm him and put some order in his life was Gavin and that was because of his Alpha aura .

However , Gavin had a meeting this afternoon and was unavailable .

Perhaps this would be the perfect way to push Judy away from this job though .

If shes unable to accomplish her mission for the day , it would prove that shes incapable .

Judy appeared soon after for her first day as his tutor and Adam attempted to warn her that the task would be impossible .

He somehow got his tablet and is playing his favorite game , Adam explained .

Hes locked himself in his room and he wont come out .

Its probably better if you didnt even bother trying .noveldrama

Judy raised her brows .

Is that so ? She asked .

Is th Adam went to respond , but then Judy did something unexpected .

She walked past him and started up the stairs .

She looked so confident and determined that it amazed him He quickly followed after her , protesting that she wasnt supposed to go upstairs because it was their personal floor that consisted of bedrooms and private bathrooms .

Chapter 0024 Judy ignored him and she paused when she reached the second floor .

She looked around at each door , and when she saw the door with the stickers on it , she walked towards it .

Miss Judy ! Adam tried to protest again .

She knocked on the bedroom door and waited a moment ; when Matt ignored her , she did something Adam never could have imagined .

She kicked the door open ! Chapter 0025

Chapter 0025 Judys POV Miss Judy ! Adam growled just as I walked into Matts bedroom .

This is highly inappropriate .

You arent supposed to be in their private bedrooms for one and two , you destroyed Gavins property .

The door was barely hanging on the hinges .

I glanced at it briefly before lifting my gaze to meet Adams .

He looked furious that would do such a thing , but I only shrugged .

I will pay to get the door fixed , I told him .

Gavin can take it from my paycheck .

He looked like he was about to say something in response , but I paid him no attention .

I turned my attention to Matt who was sitting on his bed .

He was staring at the tablet as if nothing happened .

I could see the bags under his eyes and the strain that looking at the screen constantly had on him .

I walked over to him.

Matt , Isaid , trying to gain his attention .

When he ignored me , I spoke louder .

Matthew ! He still ignored me .

His face was very serious as he kept his eyes fixed on the screen and he was murmuring something under his breath .

Stupid level … he murmured .

I could hear the sounds of the player dying repeatedly and I furrowed my brows .

I knew this game .

Ive played this game .noveldrama

Ive mastered this game .

With a smirk , I grabbed the tablet from him and yanked it out of his hands .

Hey ! He yelled , trying to get it back .

I kept it out of reach while focusing my attention on the screen , I went through the necessary steps , leveled up the character , and got him the appropriate and much needed equipment to pass the level , along with armor .

Then , I continued with the mission Matt was attempting .

Matt went from desperately trying to get the tablet from me to watching me with a look of awe as I effortlessly wiped out each bad guy in the game and completed the mission .

Woah ! He gasped .

That was amazing ! How did you do that ?? I shrugged I played this game before , I told him .

Then , I went into the save file and deleted everything I had just done .

Why would you do that ?! I raised a brow at him .

I thought youd be a fair player and want to beat the level on your own , I told him , mockingly .

He scowled .

Ive been trying to beat that level all day ! He huffed .

I shrugged .

I could show you how to do it , I told him .

But first , you need to get your homework done .

According to Adam , you have a lot of it .

Chapter 0025 It was at that moment I realized that Adam had left the room .

It didnt matter though ; I didnt need him in here for this .

Matt scowled at me , and I just stood in front of him casually not wavering .

Thats my condition , I added with finality .

He glanced at the tablet still in my hands .

You promise youll help me ? I nodded .

I never break my promises .

Especially when it comes to video games , I told him .

He sighed and then he nodded .

Okay , lets do my homework .

I motioned for his backpack in the comer of the room .

Grab that and meet me downstairs in the parlor , I told him , turning and walking out of his room .

I didnt bother waiting for him or seeking Adam out .

I just made my way down the stairs and into the front parlor .

The parlor reminded me of a luxury hotel lobby ; it had large floor to ceiling windows overlooking the gardens outside and gave way to plenty of natural lighting .

I sat on the couch and waited for Matt to join me .

He didnt take too long to grab his backpack and walk into the parlor .

He sat beside me on the couch and pulled out a ton of papers , books , and writing utensils .

I smiled Lets get started , I stated .

For the next couple of hours , we completed each of his homework assignments and got a little studying done .

I was amazed at the amount of work they assigned a 7 year old , but I suppose its a little different for werewolf students As the sun set a maid walked into the parlor with a faint smile as she looked down at Matt .

The cooks have prepared your supper , Master Matthew , he said to him.

You can come to the kitchen : whenever you are ready .

Matt pouted and then looked up at me .

Can you join me for dinner ? He asked .

Chapter 0026 I was surprised by the dinner request and my brows shot upward to my hairline .

You want to have dinner with me ? I asked .

Theres plenty of food for you as well , Madam , the maid added , a wide grin on her face , I looked back at Matt for confirmation , and he looked so small and almost nervous at that moment .

I wondered what it was about .

My dad is never home for dinner and my sister hasnt bee home since she started dating that Ethan guy , Matt confessed .

Sometimes Butler Adam will eat with me , but not always .

I get lonely … My heart tugged for the child , and I put my hand on his shoulder , reassuringly .

I would love to have dinner with you , Matt , I told him .

Then afterward , we can play that game , and Ill show you how to beat that level .

He beamed at my promise and jumped to his feet .

Come on ! He said , grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the kitchen .

The dining table was set up for only Matt and it made me sad to see the lonely sight .

The maid quickly walked in behind us and set another place for me , giving me a sheepish smile .

I sat at the table beside Matt as the maid poured us some juice before serving the meal .

It w t was a delicious stew ; I hadnt realized how hungry I was until it was right in front of me .

My stomach was growling by the time I had my first bite of the food .

While we ate , I listened to Matt talk about school , his interests , and about some of the friends he has .

I had to admit that I enjoyed spending time with the little gay .

He seemed pleased to have me there keeping him company and I enjoyed that I could do that for him .

After our meal , I offered to clean the table and dishes , but the maids insisted on doing it for us .

Its their job , Matt explained .noveldrama

That doesnt mean we cant be helpful , I told him .

He shrugged .

Can we play the game now ? He asked , bouncing in his seat .

I smiled at him .

Yes , I did promise you that we would , I told him .

He eagerly jumped out of his seat and ran into the parlor where I left his tablet on the coffee table .

I followed after him .

I sat on the couch with him and taught him everything I knew about the game .

I showed him exactly what I did to beat the level , and he followed my instructions perfectly .

After he successfully beat the level , he jumped up and clapped , I laughed and then I gasped in surprise when he wrapped his arms around me to hug me .

Can we keep playing ? He asked .

I thought about it for a moment .

Well , you did finish your homework .

I suppose you earned a bit more gameplay .

But tomorrow we are going to 1/2 Chapter 0026 work extra hard on studying your letters and math before we do some defense training .

Understood ? He beamed as he nodded .

Can you teach me how to shoot the bow and arrow too ? He asked .

I have trouble with my aiming .

Can yo I would be happy to teach you everything I know , I assured him .

He t back down and handed me the tablet , wanting me to continue with the next level .

For the next 30 minutes , we continued passing the tablet back and forth , sharing the gameplay and chuckling periodically at all the mishaps that happened during the gaming process .

The entire time , Adam hadnt made a single appearance to check on us .

I almost completely forgot about him until I heard his voice outside of the parlor .

She let him play on his tablet and theyve been doing nothing but goofing off the entire time , I heard Adam saying I made a mistake by allowing her here in the first place .

Shes not fit to be his tutor .

They have done nothing productive , Alpha ! 1 I looked up at the closed doorway with a frown and before I knew what was happening , the door flew open and Gavin walked into the parlor , startling us both .

Matt nearly dropped the tablet but thankfully I caught it before it hit the ground .

Dad , youre home , Matt said with an awkward smile on his lips as if he knew he was caught doing something he shouldnt be doing , Gavin glared at me with his arms folded across his chest .

What exactly is going on in here , Miss Montague ?

hapter 0027 Judys POV I told you , Adam said , folding his arms across his chest .

Not only did she fail in her task at getting him to accomplish any of his schoolwork , but shes also encouraging his distraction .

She should be fired right away , and Ill post the job once again on the werewolf job board .

I was shocked by what Adam was saying , when I first met him , I thought he was kind and genuinely wanted me around .

But now it seemed he was trying to get me fired .

Im not sure what I had done to him to deserve this type of treatment , but Id be lying if I said I wasnt kind of hurt by it .

Is this true ? Gavin asked , his eyes fixed on mine .

I looked up at him , my lips pressed in a thin line .

I knew my cheeks were probably red because I could feel the heat in them , but ignored it and turned towards the table where we left Matts schoolwork .

See for yourself , I said , grabbing the papers and handing them to Gavin .

Gavin grabbed the papers and looked them over ; his brows raising in surprise .

This is Matts handwriting , he said thoughtfully as he went through each of the assignments we had done .

He did all of this ? I nodded , folding my own arms across my chest as I glared at Adam whose face immediately paled .

Yes , I answered , my eyes never leaving Adams Matt did all his schoolwork and got a bit of studying in .

I believe there is such a thing as balance in a young boys life .

All work and no play can lead to quick burnout and lack of focus .

Matt did his assignments, and I rewarded him with some gameplay as I promised him earlier .noveldrama

I pulled my eyes away from Adam to look at Gavin who was watching me , a perplexed look on his face ..

Matt lacks companionship , Alpha Gavin .

This is what is leading to his rebellious side .

When you spend time with him , hes actually a sweet and caring young boy .

Gavin raised his brows as he set the schoolwork on the table Are you trying to teach me how to raise my son ? He asked Of course not , I told him .

But perhaps punishing him without truly knowing the reasoning behind his actions is redundant .

Even for you , Alpha .

He opened his mouth to say something but then I felt the starf around my neck slipping down my shoulders .

I scrambled to recover the scarf , but it was too late , Gavin was glaring at my neck where the hickey was .

His eyes were dark , and his nostrils flared at the sight of it .

Its not what it seems , I murmured as I quickly put the scarf around my neck .

I wanted to explain to him what had happened , but I couldnt tell him the full story .

Gavin had already wanted me to stay away from Ethan because he was to marry Irene .

He wanted Irene to have a nice life with Ethan without nie intervening .

If I told Gavin that Ethan was the one who gave me the hickey , he would never believe that I didnt want it .

He would never believe .

that Ethan practically forced himself on me .

He would think that I went after him and seduced him.

He would never see it from my point of view .

It doesnt matter , Gavin muttered ; he was clearly irritated for whatever reason .

I wasnt entirely sure why , but it was clear in his eyes and in his tone .

Just make sure you better handle your private life .

I dont need that around my son .

Understood ? I nodded and bit my lower lip .

+75 BONUS Chapter 0027 Understood , I replied .

He turned to glare at the butler .

You told me that Judy failed to complete her mission for the day but so far , Ive seen that shes completed her mission and then some .

How dare you spread such false rumors , Adam , Gavin barked , making Adam flinch .

… uh … he stammered , unsure of what to say .

You arent to speak in my presence for a month , Gavin steered .

Now get out of my face .

y … yes Alpha , Adam said shakily as he quickly retreated out of the room , his head hanging low in defeat .

I tightened the scarf around my neck and when I was sure it wouldnt slip again , I straightened my posture to look up at Gavin .

I should get going ; its getting late , and my mother is probably wondering where I am , I told him .

Chapter 0028 He nodded .

My driver , Leroy , is out front .

Have him take you home , He offered .

I shook my head .

Its okay , Ill grab an Uber , I told him as I pulled my phone out of my bag .

He pu put his hand over my phone screen , preventing me from using it .

Dont spend your money on a ride when Im offering you one for free , he said calmly .

Leroy remembers your address from yesterday .

Let him take you home .

I swallowed the lump in my throat and then I nodded thoughtfully .

Okay , thank you , I replied .noveldrama

I turned to Matt who was staring between us with wide eyes .

I wondered what was going through his young mind at that moment , but he seemed to snap out of it when he noticed me staring at him .

Im leaving now , I told him .

But I will be here around the same time tomorrow .

I have classes in the morning , and you have school until the afternoon .

He nodded and I could tell from the pout he gave me that he didnt want me to leave .

Make sure you clean up your mess and get plenty of rest tonight , I instructed .

Youll need it for our training session .

Okay , he murmured .

Bye , Judy .

Bye Matt , I retorted , giving him a small wave before glancing back at Gavin .

He was still fixated on me .

I nodded at him , not sure what to say , as I stepped around him and headed out of the villa.

Third Person POV Gavin watched as Judy walked out of the Villa .

For some reason , seeing the hickey on her neck thoroughly irritated him .

It was a feeling he couldnt quite understand , but he didnt like seeing it on her .

He remembered when he left his own marks on her body and there was a small satisfaction in his chest .

But those markings faded to the point where they couldnt be seen , and it was replaced by the markings of another .

Who was the man that left a hickey on her neck ? On second thought , it was probably better if he didnt know Why are you so mean sometimes ? Matt asked , bringing Gavin out of his thoughts .

Gavin blinked a couple of times before looking down at his son , a frown decorating his lips .

I wasnt mean , Gavin denied .

Matt rolled his eyes and slumped down on the couch .

Yes , you were , he murmured .

We were having a good day , and she left upset .

Chapter 002 Gavin raised his brows as he watched his son .

For a moment , he wasnt sure what to say .

He sighed and decided to sit on the couch beside him .

Its been a while since he spent any real time with Matt ; the words of Judy kept replaying in his mind about how Matt needs companionship .

He wondered if her words were true .

You had a good day ? Gavin asked him .

Matt nodded , his eyes remaining on the ground .

Yes , he said softly .

warne Im assuming you like your new tutor ? Gavin asked him .

Matt seemed to brighten as he looked up at his father .

Yes , I do ! Shes really nice , Dad , and super cool .

Shes really good at warrior stuff , shes book smart , and she plays video games .

She also ate dinner with me tonight .

I liked having her around , Matt gushed .

I wouldnt mind if she became my new mom ! Gavins eyes widened upon hearing his son say that .

Shut up , Gavin said , shaking his head and avoiding his sons eyes .

Im serious , though , Matt said , grabbing Gavins arm .

I had a mom like Judy , I would be so happy .

Shes going to teach me defense and how to shoot a bow and arrow tomorrow ! Gavin was taken aback by this ; he realized that his son was serious .

He truly did admire Judy like a mother figure .

Matt then pouted and looked at the ground .

None of my other tutors ever did stuff like this , he murmured .

They only cared about impressing you .

Gavin felt for the boy , it was true that his tutors mainly never worked out because all they cared about was impressing the Alpha and getting in his pants .

Matt often lashed out whenever he felt he was competing for attention .

This made Gavin think about Judys earlier words .

Matt lacks companionship , Alpha Gavin .

This is what is leading to his rebellious side .

When you spend time with him , hes actually a sweet and caring young boy .

Chapter 0029 Judys POV I went to the student lounge after my morning class .

I just finished taking an exam and I was completely beaten .

I was pleased to see Nan seated near the window , snaking on a pop tart and studying .

When I approached her , she looked up from her book and smiled .

Hey , she said , sliding an iced coffee across the table .

I got you some caffeine .

You are a lifesaver , I said , taking the coffee and sitting in the seat across from hers .

I took a large sip of the coffee and sighed in contentment , What happened to you last night ? I thought you were going to call me ? She asked , closing her book .

I groaned as I took another sip of the coffee Sorry , I kind of ran a bit behind last night , When I got home , I crashed immediately , I told her .

She raised her brows .

What were you doing that caused you to be so tired ? I knew I had to be careful with what I said to Nan .

The contract that Gavin made me sign stated that Im not to mention him by name or whom Im tutoring .

Gavin and his family were famous in the werewolf world and if people knew that I was working for him , it could cause issues .

I trusted Nan , but I also couldnt risk breaking the contract .

This job was good money , and I couldnt lose it .

I got a job , I told her .

A job ? She asked .

What kind of job ? As a tutor , I answered .

Im tutoring a boy from the neighboring pack .

Its good money and itll help my family out a lot .

Thats awesome , Judy ! She gushed .

Tutoring is a perfect job for you .

There isnt anything you cant do .

I laughed .

You are being so extra , I chuckled .

She rolled her eyes , but I could see the playfulness on her face .

As if , she replied .

Name one thing you cant do .

I thought about it for a moment .

Im not great at knitting , I confessed .

She burst into laughter and shook her head .

But you can still do it even if you arent great at it , she resorted .

Haughed with her .

Goddess , it was good to laugh with my best friend and pretend everything was normal for once .

Too bad that didnt last long because soon , we were joined by none other than Carol and her entourage .

I had known Carol since middle school ; at one point , we were friends .

But then I beat her in the spelling bee , and Chapter 0029 she grew hateful .

Shes been my archenemy since .

Weve always competed for the top spot throughout our schooling years and now that we are in college , things havent changed .

Carol was stunning ; she had a models body and a rocket scientists brain .

She had long curly locks of blonde hair and ocean blue eyes with long dark lashes .

Her full lips were always glossy pink , and she wore a little blush on her upper cheekbones to highlight her features .

She always wore designer clothes that her mother , Natasha Declaire , a famous fashion designer , created .

She was the total package in the eyes of men ; too bad she was a total bitch .

Hey , Judy , she sneered , stopping in front of our table .

Her friends stopped with her and glared at us like we were nothing but bugs they had just stepped on .

Carol , I greeted , my tone dry.

Heard you got rejected by your fated mate .

What did you do to make him dump you ? She asked , putting her hands on her hips .noveldrama

Her friends chuckled .

Werewolves never reject their fated mate unless something crucial happened , I heard one of her friends laughing .

Jady must have done something really bad to chase Ethan away , another one of her friends added , also laughing .

Thats not any of your business , Carol , I told her through my teeth .

Dont you have better things to do ? Nanasked , folding her arms across her chest .

Arent we a little too old for that mean girl act ? And if it isnt Nan the invisible sidekick , Carol muttered before turning back to me .

I also heard your father is in prison because he owes a lot of money .

Its really shameful for your family .

How are you ever going to pay for your next semester at college with your family going bankrupt and all ? Are you just trying to make up for the fact that Ive beaten you for the top student spot again this year by attacking my personal life ? I asked her , narrowing my eyes .

Her eyes grew wide , not expecting that I would hit her where it hurt the most .

Her face grew pale , and her friends .

were also silent .

Nan sat back in her seat looking proud .

It wont last , Carol muttered .

Soon enough , Ill knock you off your high horse .

Lets go girls .

She turned , her hair whipping around her shoulders , and then she walked off with her friends trailing behind her .

As soon as she was out of sight , I let out the breath I hadnt known I was holding That was awesome , Nan laughed .

Did you see her face ?

Chapter 0030 I have a feeling shes going to get me back some other way I murmured .

Speaking of top students , are you going to the award ceremony for top students tomorrow ? The winner gets a full scholarship for next year .

1 completely forgot about that ceremony ; I was sent an invitation weeks ago but with everything going on , I completely spaced it Yeah , I guess I must .

I could definitely use that scholarship .

I glanced at the clock across the room and sighed .

I have to get to my second class .

Ill see you later , Nan .

Bye ! After I was done with class , I stood outside in the parking lot and was about to call for an Uber to take me home .

I wanted to change before I went to Gavins house for the tutoring session , but before I could pull up the Uber app , a luxurious car pulled up in front of me .

I gasped at the fast movement and then the window rolled down .

I immediately recognized Leroy , Good afternoon , Miss Montague .

I was sent to pick you up for work , he said , unlocking the back door .

Ismiled at him , feeling a bit uneasy over the fact that he had come to my school to pick me up .

Thanks , I said as I slid into the car .

As I shut the door , I paused for a moment , I couldnt help but feel I was being watched .

I brushed the thought out of my mind as the car pulled away from the school.

Third Person POV It made no sense as to how that bitch got so much confidence ! How dare she speak to Carol in such a way .

Her friends trailed after her after she left the student lounge , but once Carol got outside , she turned to them and narrowed her eyes .

Leave me , she ordered , putting her hand up to halt their steps .

W … what ? One of them asked .

Why ? I need to be alone , Carol said , folding her arms across her chest .

Leave .

They pouted , but they knew better than to argue with Carol They soon left , leaving Carol alone with her thoughts .noveldrama

Carol walked around the campus ; she had no other classes , and she was thinking about returning to her on- campus suite for a bubble bath .

She needed to rid her mind of every thought of judy .

As Carol walked through the campus and towards the dorms , she paused when she saw a familiar figure sitting in the quad .

They had a dark hoodle pulled over their face and smile spread across Carols lips as their eyes met from across the campus .

She knew this person as a friend , and she had known them for quite a while .

She also knew that this friend couldnt stand Judy .

She straightened her posture as she walked across the campus and towards this friend .

Judy is so annoying .

Carol muttered as she sat beside her friend in the quad .

Youll never believe what she said to me .

She had the nerve to insinuate that she was smarter than me .

What did you expect ? Her friend mustered .

Shes always been on a high horse .

Thats one of the reasons I Chapter 0030 cant stand her .

What are you even doing out here ? Carol asked , staring at her friend with a pointed expression .

You never hang out on the quad .

Isnt this beneath your scene ? Or so you always say .

Her friend rolled their eyes and sighed .

I was actually waiting for you .

Carol raised her brows For what reason ? Because I need your help , they said , turning so they were facing Carol completely .

I need whatever dirt you can find on Judy ; can you do that ? And how do you expect me to do that ? She asked .

Its public knowledge that she was rejected , and her family went bankrupt .

Her friend nodded thoughtfully .

There must be more information .

Something we are overlooking .

Theres no way shes that good at everything .

Shes up to something and I need you to find out what it is , And whats in it for me ? Carol asked , raising her brows .

Her friend smirked .

Because if we play our cards right , we could get rid of Judy once and for all .

Then , youd be the top student , her friend replied .

Carols eyes lit up .

I like the way you think , she said with a wink .

Im in .

I follow her after school and see what shes really up to .

After she parted ways with her friend , she noticed Judy walking out of the academic center .

She was typing away on her phone , concentrating , when a luxury car pulled up in front of her .

Carol hid around the corner upon seeing Judy and her brows furrowed when she noticed Judy talking to someone in the car .

Carol held her breath when Judy opened the back door and slid into the back seat , shutting the door behind her .

That car was a low key Rolls Royce Phantom ! How did she manage such a ride even though her family was bankrupt ?! Carol screamed internally .

It was no wonder she still strutted around with all that confidence !!

Chapter 0031 Third Person POV Ethans phone rang .

He took a sip of his whiskey and put it on the bar in front of him , motioning for the bartender to bring him another .

He cleared his throat before answering the phone .noveldrama

You better have good news , he said without greeting the person on the other end .

Judy never got fired from her job , Ethans subordinate murmured .

She was able to get Matt to do his work regardless of the videos .

Even Adam tried to talk to Alpha Gavin about it , but it was no use .

Judy was persuasive and Matt did get all his tasks done .

Ethan cursed under his breath .

The bartender returned with a fresh glass of whiskey ; Ethan nodded his thanks as he took a sip of the drink .

What about school ? Did you do what I asked ? Ethan asked , feeling himself losing patience by the second .

Yes , I bribed one of her teachers , his subordinate answered.

Hes going to pin some stuff on Judy and get her expelled .

Perfect , Ethan murmured .

At least thats one thing I wont have to worry about .

I also spoke to one of her enemies at school , shes going to dig up some information about Judy and report back to me .

Any information I find out I will let you know .

You might be able to use it against her .

I knew I could count on you , Ethan replied .

Keep me posted .

Will do , boss , his subordinate said just before the line went dead .

Ethan took a sip of his whiskey , a smile spreading across his lips .

Soon , he will get everything he wants .

He will marry Irene , become the Alpha , and possess Judy.

Judys POV I feel way underdressed , I said , staring at all the students wearing luxurious gowns and designer clothing .

I was wearing a nice blouse and a black tight skirt that hugged my form perfectly ; I was dressed for a business function , not a ball .

The function was in the reception hall of the school , and it was decorated beautifully .

After the ceremony , I knew there was going to be a feast for a celebration and to thank the students for attending the award ceremony .

I would be lying if I said I wasnt nervous about this ceremony .

If I won the award , I would be getting an incredibly good scholarship , and I could use that scholarship to continue my education and not worry about the cost next year .

Why is everybody dressed up so much ? I asked Nan who stood beside me , eagerly looking around .

She peeked over at me with a frown .

Didnt you hear ? She asked .

Gavin Landry might actually show up this year .

Hes invited every year , but he never attends .

However , theres a rumor going around that he personally told the dean that he would be attending this year .

So , all his fan girls are dressed up for the occasion A pit formed in the middle of my stomach at the thought of Gavin and his fan girls .

I was surprised that he was actually going to be here .

Of course , I knew he was invited every year , but I never imagined he would actually show Chapter 0031 up to the school award ceremony .

On the stage , there were a few seats lined up , each one with different place cards .

My name was in the center seat right next to Carols .

There were a couple of others on each side of us as well , one of which had already taken their seat and was waiting patiently for the ceremony to begin .

The doors swung open , and I watched as Silver Crescent Gamma warriors piled into the reception hall , surrounding a very powerful Lycan .

Gavin and his men walked into the building as if they owned the place .

For a moment , everyone fell silent as they watched them walk down the aisle to find their seats in the front row .

I found myself holding my breath , my eyes finding Gavin in the middle of his crew .

The girls around the room began their excited chattering and gushing at how handsome he was .

Wow , Nan breathed .

He actually showed up.

Im just as surprised , I admitted , my eyes never leaving Gavin who reached his designated seat .

If only everyone around here knew that you almost slept with him , Nan chuckled , shoving me playfully .

They would lose their minds ! They will never know , I told her , shaking my head .

I dont want to be on their hit list .

Hey , Judy , a friend of mine , Water , said as he paused beside Nan .

Walter was a sweet guy that I befriended in high school .

He is also one of the top students and a candidate for the scholarship .

Unlike Carol , Walter had always been a friendly competitor .

He gave me a broad and toothy smile , making Nan smirk .

I heard about your familys financial problems , Walter went right into saying , making me frown immediately .

This was not the topic I wanted to discuss , and I had to bite my tongue before I said something I would regret .

Im really sorry thats happening .

Thank you , Walter , I said , keeping a plastered smile on my face .

Thats kind of you to say .

As you know , my family has a lot of money .

If this scholarship doesnt work out , you should let me pay for your schooling .

That way you can save whatever money you have to help your father , he suggested .

Nan chuckled and nudged Walter with her arm .

Do you have a crush on her or something , Walter ? What kind of offer is that ? She

asked teasingly .

Chapter 0032 Chapter 0032 Walters cheeks turned red , and he glanced at the ground .

To save him from further embarrassment , I stepped closer to him and put a hand on his shoulder , drawing his attention back to me .

Thats very kind of you to offer , Walter .

But its quite alright .

Ill be fine .

Thank you though , I told him .

He smiled and nodded in return .

Im going to find my seat , Walter said .

I think I sit next to you .

Ill see you up there , 1 told him .

He nodded and walked past me , towards the stage .

Nan laughed again , shaking her head as she watched Walter walk away .

That boy has got it bad , she teased .

Nan , no he doesnt , I retorted .

Walter is just a friend .

You might think so , but hes had a crush on you for a long time , she replied .

Someday , youll see exactly what I mean .

I stared after Walter with a frown ; he was a good looking gay with his shaggy brown hair and nicely built frame .

He always wore nice clothing , and I had to admit that he smelled nice because of the expensive cologne he wore .noveldrama

But to be honest , I wasnt into Walter in that kind of way .

Ladies , the ceremony is getting started .

Please find your seats , one of the professors said as she walked by .

Nan hugged me tightly .

Good luck , Judy .

Ill be here rooting for you .

I smiled and hugged her back .

I quickly made my way to the back of the stage and sat with the other candidates .

Carol snarled at me , but I acted as if I hadnt noticed .

My eyes instinctively found Gavins who was sitting in the front row , and I was shocked to find that he was watching me .

My cheeks immediately warmed , and I had to look away quickly before I combusted , The dean stood up on the stage and began his speech in the microphone ; the students and guests were immediately silenced .

The dean started off by introducing himself and the reason behind the award ceremony .

Then , he turned his attention to us , and he introduced each of the candidates by name , followed by their majors .

We each stood upon hearing our names and the students all clapped and cheered for each of us .

When he reached my name , I could hear Nan screaming towards the back of the room and I smiled as I felt my cheeks warming .

I could still feel Gavins eyes on me as I took my seat .

It was a nice event ; the band students played a couple of songs , as did the chorus students .

Former top students who had won the award in previous years were there to give a speech and congratulate us as well .

The dean felt it was even appropriate to introduce Gavin as well considering he was a Lycan , and this was the first time he had attended this award ceremony , He stood and waved at the students who cheered and gushed over him .

The she wolves practically fell at his feet .

Chapter 0032 Then , it was finally time for the dean to announce the winner of this years top student award along with the scholarship award .

The winner of this years award goes to ….

He said as he opened the envelope .

He smiled thoughtfully when he read the name and then turned to look at us .

Judy Montague ! The audience went wild as my heart leaped into my throat .

could hardly believe this was happening ! I won the scholarship ! That meant I wasnt going to have to worry about school and making loan payments next year because I got a scholarship ! My eyes found Nans who was hopping up and down and clapping the loudest .

My smile was wide as I stood to my feet .

Gavin was watching me with a perplexed look on his face and I hated not knowing what he was thinking .

Was he proud of me ? I wanted to laugh at that ridiculous thought .

Of course , he wasnt proud of me .

Why would he be ? I wasnt anything to him .

I brushed the thought out of my head and walked across the stage and to the podium .

I shook the deans hand and took the envelope from him .

The dean started by telling everyone about how I deserved this reward the most not only because Im the top strident , but because of my familys financial problems and how I could benefit from this scholarship .

Now it was one last thing I had to worry about .

I should have been mortified that he took it upon himself to announce such a thing to the entire school , but I wasnt .

They were already talking about it anyways .

Congratulations , Judy .

You deserve this .

Would you like to make a speech ? He asked .

Thank you , I told him .

Yes , I would like that .

I turned to the podium and smiled as the cheering continued .

Just as it started to silence and I was about to speak into the mic , I heard a loud voice coming from behind me .

Thats enough ! Judy Montague is a fake !! I whipped around to see Carol standing up from her seat and staring at me .

I was too stunned to say anything , but the murmur quickly began .

Miss Declaire , what is this about ? The Dean asked , narrowing his eyes .

She put her hands on her hips and continued to glare at me Judy doesnt deserve this award , Carol smeared .

Shes unworthy of this scholarship !

Chapter 0033 Judys POV When I first realized Carol was no longer my friend , back in middle school , it was a few days after the spelling bee contest .

She only missed one letter in the word Necessary and it cost her the competition .

It was only a small competition for middle schoolers , but she took it to heart , and she never forgave me for taking the prize from her .

She acted like she was still my friend though ; she congratulated me and even hugged me .

The school was going to host a mock ceremony for the reward a couple of days later .

My adoptive mother had me wear a pretty dress and even helped me write a speech .

Not many people know this about me , but I suffer from a condition called dyslexia .

Reading and writing was difficult for me .noveldrama

I often get my letters mixed up ; reading out loud during school was a complete nightmare for me .

entire life .

Most knew I had trouble reading out loud , but they never understood why .

I hid this condition my I prepared for months for this spelling bee , and I wasnt expecting to win .

Thanks to years of training and therapy , I can manage my dyslexia way better now .

It only made me work that much harder and I managed to hide my condition from almost everybody .

The only ones who knew about this disorder were Nan who had been my best friend since elementary school , my adoptive parents , and unfortunately Ethan .

I confessed it to him after he marked me .

I didnt want there to be secrets between us .

Carol , like the rest of the school , only knew that I had trouble reading and writing , but she didnt know the reason .

She also knew how hard I prepared for that spelling bee because we often trained together .

After I won , she spent time with me while I repeatedly went over the speech my mother and I made for the award ceremony .

I had a bit of trouble reading it out loud , but I eventually got it down and I was confident in my ability to read it in front of others .

When I was announced as the spelling bee winner during the mock award ceremony , and was about to make my speech , I noticed that every word on the paper differed .

Someone had switched it out and made most of the words unreadable .

I stood in front of the school , stuttering over each word and struggling to comprehend what was on the paper .

I had never been more embarrassed .

The kids were brutal and started to laugh ; my eyes found Carols , and she smirked at me .

At that moment , I knew this was her doing .

Then , some of the new friends she made walked up to me and dumped a bucket of glue on my head .

Before the principal could intervene , it was Carol who stood in front of me .

You stole my prize .

You dont deserve to win .

I saw your notebook .

You had every word written down and memorized .

You cheated ! She sneered .

Then slje threw handfuls of glitter at me , branding me as a cheater .

I didnt cheat … I only studied .

She could have done the same thing .

I needed the extra help , and I utilized the material given to me .

The entire school erupted in laughter and chanted that I was a cheater .

They also made fun of me for not being able to read .

The principal ushered Carol and her friends away , and Nan came to my side to help and defend me .

Nan was already my friend prior to this , but that was the day she became my truest best friend .

That was also the day I told her about my dyslexia .

Carol only got a slap on the wrist because of her famous mother and rich father , Chapter 0033 I vowed to never feel that vulnerable again .

My parents got the into therapy sessions where they helped me with my condition and I studied twice as hard every single day .

I hadnt thought about that day in a long time .

But as I stood in the middle of the stage , staring at all my peers , they were all silently watching me , wondering what I would do at that moment .

Would I defend myself ? Would I tell Carol that I deserved this scholarship ? I was speechless , just like that of the spelling bee ceremony Carol , this is quite a serious accusation , the dean said , folding his arms across his chest .

This is hardly the time and place for a scene .

I have proof that Judy doesnt deserve this reward , Carol said , stopping next to me .

She is a fake … a fraud .

I was stunned and speechless .

I know everybody was waiting for me to say something in my own defense , but I couldnt .

I was numb and confused .

I couldnt believe this was happening.

The dean also seemed to be at a loss .

He soon cleared his throat and straightened his posture .

How about we speak in my office , he finally stated .

It would be better if we did this more privately .

Fine by me , Carol said , narrowing her eyes as she glared at me .

I would be happy to show you the proof .

The dean nodded and ushered us out of the ceremony room .

He paused by his assistant who was watching us with large eyes .

He whispered something to her , and she nodded her understanding .

I followed the dean , keeping my head low as everyone murmured around me .

Chapter 0034 Is she really unworthy of the scholarship ? Her silence speaks volumes ! Why isnt she defending herself ?? My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan ; her eyes were wide and filled with worry .

She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was in my corner .

We made our way outside and we walked in silence as we reached the administration office .

The deans office was on the top floor , so we had to take the stairs .

Take a seat , ladies , the dean said as he sat on his desk chair .

I sat down beside Carol , and she was quick to pull out her phone .

She had a sneer on her lips , and I knew she was up to something that I wasnt going to expect .

A tight knot formed in the pit of my stomach and my heart thudded rapidly against my ribcage .

There was a knock on the door , drawing our attention elsewhere .

Enter , the dean said , leaning back in his seat .

One of my professors walked into the room ; he was my defense training professor and someone I looked up Carol was also in that class .

to .

For some reason , seeing him made me sigh in relief .

It was nice to see a familiar and friendly face during this high -tension time .

Professor Rodgers , what can I do for you ? The dean asked , raising his brows at the professor .noveldrama

Ive come to offer my guidance and support , he said , walking into the room and leaving the door open a crack .

I think of myself as a mentor figure to these girls and Id like to be here during this conversation if youll allow it .

The dean nodded his head thoughtfully .

Of course , he said , motioning for an empty seat .

Professor Rodgers walked towards the seat ; his eyes refusing to meet mine .

The dean finally turned his attention to Carol and cleared his throat , getting her attention .

You said you have proof that shes been disloyal ? The dean asked .

Carol straightened her posture as she swiped across the screen on her phone .

Check this out , Carol hissed .

Judy doesnt need this scholarship .

Shes rich and has all the money in the world .

She got into a luxury car last night .

Only rich people can get rides from cars of this status .

The scholarship should go to someone in need .

Is her family even struggling at all ? Or was it some big ploy to gain sympathy ? She pulled up a picture of me getting into the car that Gavin had sent to me last night .

I knew I was being watched ; I could feel it .

But I decided to ignore it at the time and now it seemed like it was going to bite me in the ass The dean examined the photo for a moment , his brows furrowed together .

He then looked at me and I watched his Jips press in a thin line .

Where exactly do you work , Miss Judy ? He asked , raising his brows .

Chapter 0034 I couldnt tell him where I worked or who I worked for because of that contract I signed for Gavin .

I wasnt sure what to say or how to redeem myself .

The dean grew suspicious of my silence but before he could say anything , Professor Rodgers cleared his throat .

Its clear that we really dont know who Judy Montague is he said , folding his arms across his chest .

My heart fell deep into my stomach as I turned to look at him .

What was he doing ? What was he trying to say ? If she would lie about something like this , how do we know she isnt lying about other stuff ? I always found it suspicious that she was so good at almost everything .

Shes probably paying someone to help her cheat .

I think we should look more into that , sir .

Surely , we cant allow someone disloyal to remain at this school .

I gasped at his words ; he was supposed to be someone I considered a mentor .

But it seemed he wanted me to get expelled from this school .

I could see the satisfaction on Carols face as she folded her arms across her chest and leaned back in her seat .

Its a serious accusation .

What do you have to say for yourself , Miss Judy ? The dean asked , his brows raising to his hairline .

Before I begin this investigation , do you have anything youd like to say in your defense ? I opened my mouth to speak , but no words came out .

You cant seriously be considering expelling her because she got into a luxury car , are you ? A deep voice spoke from the doorway .

I didnt need to turn around to see who was standing there ; I could smell his incredible cologne , and my heart immediately skipped a beat upon hearing his deep tone .

The dean paled upon seeing who was standing at the entrance of his office , leaning against his doorframe Alpha Gavin , the dean said , bowing his head slightly , Gavin walked into the room ; a couple of his Gamma warriors remained at the doorway .

Its from my understanding that Miss Montague is an outstanding student and more than deserves this reward , Gavin said , narrowing his eyes .

However , I did get some inside intel that Miss Declaire had cheated on her last several tests by paying someone to take exams for her .

0035 Judys POV Carols face paled immediately upon hearing Gavins words I could see the panic on her face as she tried to desperately come up with a story to justify her actions .

I knew Carol was a lot of things , but a cheater ? She had always worked so hard to get to where she was and a part of me still admired her for it despite the fact that we hadnt gotten along since middle school .

But now I was seeing her in a whole new light .

She cheated on pass them .

her exams , forcing someone to take the tests for her so she would I didnt understand why though .

Carol was incredibly smart and more than capable of getting these exams done herself , and she still passed with flying colors .

So why would she have someone else take these exams for her ? L.noveldrama

I dont understand , the dean said , narrowing his eyes at Carol .

Is this true ? N … no , she stammered , her nerves evident .

Its not true I swear ! She tried to explain .

A new presence appeared in the room , and I recognized him as Beta Taylor , I only met him briefly , but he seemed like a nice enough guy .

I have the reports you requested , he told Gavin , handing him a piece of paper ..

Gavin looked over the paper , his eyes fixated on each word that passed his vision .

His lips were set in a hard line .

His expression was hard to read , and I wondered if this had anything to do with Carol and the accusations : He cleared his throat and stepped towards the desk ; without sparing me a look , he handed the dean the paper .

This is proof that Carol had been cheating , he stated simply .

How did she manage to ace this test with flying colors when she wasnt even in the class to take it ? Its strange that she can be in two places at once , isnt it ? Theres also proof of transaction along with the students names.

The deans brows furrowed in surprise .

its not what it looks like … she stammered nervously .

You can do further investigating , but thats what my Beta was able to find under such short notice , Gavin continued .

We hav have no tolerance for cheating , the dean said firmly as he glared at Carol .

One of her classes happens to be yours professor , Gavin said , readjusting his gaze to look at Professor Rodgers .

Are you saying that you never noticed she hadnt been attending class ? Yet you still pass her .

The professor paled as he looked at Carol .

I realized that they were in this together and my lips press in a thin line .

I stared at the ground , unsure of what to say or what to do at this moment .

Things were too awkward , and I just wanted the ground to open and swallow Miss Judy , how about you head to the feast ? I had my assistant send everyone there to begin the celebration , the dean said , his eyes remaining fixated on Carol ; bouncing between her and the Professor .

I wasnt sure my legs would work if I tried .

But as soon as I looked up at Gavin , he gave me a curt nod .

I felt my entire body unfreezing and let out the breath I hadnt known I was holding Chapter 0035 I stood to my feel .

Thank you , I managed to murmur before I left the office ; I didnt bother sparing any of them another look .

When I reached the dining hall where the feast was being held , I was met with a ton of strange stares .

Everybody was whispering amongst themselves about me , wondering if I got in trouble or if my reward had been revoked .

Hope you all got a good show , Nan said loudly , drawing everyones attention to her as she stood in the center of the room .

How about you gossip about something different now .

Everyone looked amongst themselves , their bantering continuing

Chapter 0036 Nan only rolled her eyes and made her way over to me , wrapping her arms around me and pulling me in for a hug .

Are you okay ? she asked me , her voice low and for my eats alone .

I nodded , feeling the burning sensation of unshed tears in the back of my eyes .

I refused to let them fall right here though ; I wasnt going to let my peers see me break .

Yeah , it was just a misunderstanding , I told her .

Did Gavin do anything to help ? She asked .

I raised my brow , surprised by her question .

Why would he do anything to help ? I asked , trying not to sound too awkward She smirked and nudged my shoulder as we made our way through the dining hall and toward an empty table .

Because he ran after you guys so fast ; barking orders at his Beta to find information out on Carol , she explained .

He looked pissed , and I have a feeling its because he wanted to protect his darling Judy .

I knew she was teasing , but her words caused heat to flare on my cheeks .

You are being ridiculous , I murmured .

Im not his darling Judy .

We almost slept together once and havent spoken about it since .

Whatever you say , she chuckled .

A waitress stopped by the table and handed us a glass of champagne .

Just what I needed right now , a little alcohol .

I took a long and steady sip of the drink , wincing at the bitter taste .

I really wasnt a fan of champagne , but I needed something to take the edge off .

Lets just enjoy the rest of the party , she said , giving me a faint smile .

He didnt revoke your reward , did he ? I shook my head .

No , he didnt , I answered .

But I never got to make my speech .

Im kind of bummed about that .

Im sorry that bitch ruined your mornent , Nan pouted .

Karma will come back around and bite her in the ass .

Im sure of it .

I took another long sip of the champagne until the glass was empty .

I need another one of these , I murmured .

Its an open bar , she said , motioning towards the bar .

Its sponsored by the Landry Foundation , as is this entire award ceremony .

I found gh the grapevine that Gavin is a huge shareholder in this school .

He pretty much owns the place .

I raised my brows at her words ; this was new information to me as well .

I walked over to the bar to get another drink .

Congratulations on the reward , a man said from beside me .

When I turned , I saw Alpha Edward seated beside me .

Alpha Edward was an Alpha to a smaller nearby pack , and he also always attended these types of ceremonies , as did a ton of other nearby Alphas if they had pack members who were candidates .

Chapter 006 You dont think Im unworthy ? I asked , feeling the impact of the alcohol as I continued to sip my drink .

I think if anyone deserved this reward , it would be you , he said , winking at me .

I was rooting for you .

I appreciate that , Alpha , I told him .

One of the candidates belonged to Edwards park , so Im surprised he was rooting for me and not her .

But I chose not to say anything about it .

Can I buy you another drink ? He asked .

Its an open bar .

Then , let me order you another drink , he rephrased .

I was on my second glass and already feeling a bit dizzy , but wasnt going to pass up the offer , I just wanted to numb the pain and embarrassment , Yes , that would be great .noveldrama

Thank you , I told him .

Can we get the lady something a little stronger ? She seems to need it , He said to the bartender .

How about a tequila shot ? Iknew that was a dangerous road to travel , but I found mys If nodding my head , not fully caring that I was probably making a huge mistake ,

Chapter 0037 Ill take care of you tonight , Alpha Edward told me softly , Dont worry about a thing .

You just focus on having fun and forget about that terrible ceremony .

I smiled , grateful to him .noveldrama

After my 3 ( rd ) tequila shot , I could barely walk .

As soon as slid off the barstool , I nearly fell to the ground .

Thankfully , Alpha Edward was there to catch me .

He had his arms wrapped around my body and my face was pressed against his chest as he caressed my back almost lovingly .

I had a weird feeling about his touch , and I didnt particularly like it , but I was too far gone to do anything about it .

Come on , you can come home with me , he whispered into my ear .

I could hardly even feel my lips so I remained silent .

He was practically dragging me out of the dining hall .

I couldnt use my feet , so most of my weight was being supported by Alpha Edward .

I briefly wondered where Nan was , but I brushed the thought out of my mind as we reached the doorway and the Alpha lifted me off the ground cradling me bridal style .

My head fell limp against his chest .

I murmured something incoherent , and I felt the rumbling of his chest as he chuckled .

Alpha ! I heard a female saying as he rushed towards us .

I kept my eyes closed because the entire room was spinning , so I wasnt sure who it was , but her voice sounded so familiar .

What are you doing ? You shouldnt be taking this girl anywhere .

Shes far too drunk .

We are too consenting adults , Alpha Edward told her simply .

Its her choice and she clearly wants to go with Ine Before she could say anything , another voice spoke in a low and threatening tone .

Walk away before I break your arms and legs .

Alpha Edward tensed immediately .

I tried to stop him , Sir , the woman said .

וד When I opened my eyes slightly , I saw that she was the dears assistant , Gavin stood beside her ; his eyes fixed on me .

Alpha Edward held me even tighter .

Its okay , Alpha .

I know her quite well .

Ill take her home I wont ask you again , Gavin said through his teeth .

Or your title will be stripped from you , and youll never be able to walk again .

I felt Alpha Edward shuddering as he stepped towards Gavin .

I felt the warm and familiar arms of Gavin as he wrapped them around my body , pulling me out of Edwards grasp .

I immediately clung to Gavin , pressing my face against his broad and warm chest , inhaling his scent .

I … I apologize , Edward said , bowing his head .

Gavin said nothing as he carried me away from Edward .

I felt the cold air outside the moment we were out of the I building .

A car pulled up in front of us and the back door opened .

Gavin slid me into the seat before getting in beside me , his arms still wrapped around me , keeping me close to him .

Heat spread across my cheeks as my hands roamed up his body .

He was so handsome in his suit and tie , I just wanted to undress him right then and there .

His scent and overall aura were so intoxicating that my mouth Chapter 0037 practically watered at the thought of having him , tasting him .

He put his hand over mine as I reached for his tie .

The space around me was still spinning , but a confidence like no other rose inside of me .

What are you doing ? He asked , his tone kept in a low whisper as if it pained him to speak .

My eyes were fixated on his tie as I used my other hand to loosen it .

I want you , I whispered to him .

And I know you want me too , Daddy .

I barely even sounded like myself , but didnt care .

His eyes darkened and just as I got his tie loose his phone rang

Chapter 0038 Gavins POV Her scent of Lavender and fresh vanilla was intoxicating .

Even drunk , she was oddly captivating .

But she was young , almost my daughters age and I wasnt someone who would take advantage of a young girl .

There was a reason she decided to drink so much tonight ; the last thing she needed was someone , old enough to be her father , to have his way with her .

I already saved her from one creep I refused to be another ..

I was almost grateful that my phone rang , interrupting wherever this was about to lead .

But when I saw the caller , I internally groaned .

I pushed Judy slightly so she would give me some space as I swiped across the screen .

Yes ? I said into the phone , ignoring Judys pout .

Is that any way to greet your mother ? My mother asked .

Im kind of in the middle of something , I told her , ignoring her comment .

Arent you always , she murmured .

Too busy to speak with your mother .

I gave birth to you and raised you , but you are too busy to take my calls .

Thats the thanks I receive ? I cant help but roll my eyes .

What is it you want , Mom ? I asked , trying to keep the annoyance out of my tone .

My mother had a way of bringing out my aggravation .

It wasnt that she wasnt a good mom ; we were pretty close growing up , though I was much closer to my father than anything .

My mother was always pushy though and she didnt stop until she got her way .

The day my father passed away , it only caused things to be worse .

She clung to me like I was her saving grace ; I suppose in a way , I was .

I was there for her when she needed me the most .

Its not like my sister , Sarah , really cared about anything or anybody other than herself .

She was too busy drowning her sorrows in a bottle of whiskey and taking drugs her abusive boyfriend would give her Meanwhile , my younger brother , Noah , moved to a different country to be with his mate about 19 or 20 years ago , and the two of them are currently raising a new family together .

Noah checks in once in a while and Ive gone to visit with him and his family a few times .

Ive even taken Matt and Irene to visit with them a couple of different times .

But my mother never bothered to visit them ; she resented him for leaving for 20 or so years and nothing he said would ever change her mind .

My mother was a stubborn woman and since my father died a few years ago , Its only gotten worse .

I was only calling to remind you about our family dinner tomorrow , she told me .

Your grandparents , along with my sisters and brother will be in town Im cooking a meal to welcome them .

I sighed ; its not that I forgot about the event , but something terrible always happens when they all get together .

My mother doesnt get along well with her sisters and her mother does nothing but criticize her .noveldrama

It makes my mother that much crazier .

Its always a shitshow .

She gets blamed for literally everything , including the fact that Sarah went off the deep end .

Ive remembered , I told her after a brief silence .

Ill be there .

You should bring Daisy with you , she blurted not too subtly .

Why would I do that ? Chapter 0038 Because she likes you , Gavin , my mother told me .

I always thought the two of you would make a good couple .

I think its about time you start dating seriously now , dont you think ? Enough with these one night stands and meaningless relationships .

Daisy is a proper woman and deserves to be treated as such .

My mother was a big advocate for Daisy Sparks , my late wifes sister .

I was never a fan of Daisy myself , but I understood why others were .

She was gorgeous and a famous fashion designer .

She was a strong and successful woman ; in another life , maybe I would give Daisy a shot .

But being around her reminded me too much of my wife .

They looked similar enough that it was unsettling .

My mother didnt seem to see it that way though .

I glanced over at Judy , and I saw that she had completely fallen asleep .

Her head was resting on the window and she was breathing heavily .

Im not interested in her , I said in a low tone .

I just want you to be happy , Gavin , my mother breathed , My romantic life isnt your concern , I told her , my voice firmed .

I will see you tomorrow .

Without another word , I hung up the phone .

Turning my attention back to Judy , she was still asleep .

Alpha , we have arrived , Leroy said as he rolled down the window separating the backseat from the front seat .

I nodded and slid out of the backseat , making my way to Judys side , I pulled the door open , catching her before she fell out of the car .

She weighed practically nothing when I lifted her into my arms as she rested her head on my chest and she made a satisfied noise , it went straight to my cock

Chapter 0039 internally cursed as I walked to her front door .

Her purse was on her shoulder , so I reached inside to grab a set of keys .

I was surprised at how dark her house was ; it was as if nobody else lived there , but I knew at least her mother should be home at this hour .

It was ghostly quiet , and it gave me an eerie feeling .

It didnt take me long to find the staircase upstairs and ever less time to find her room .

The scent of her room drove me in the right direction .

Her room was the perfect figment of who she was as a person .

Her academic awards were showcased on her wall ; her athletic achievements were on her bookcase across the room .

Clothes were scattered across her floor and draped over her desk chair .

She had a nice desktop computer setup and numerous textbooks and notebooks across her desk .

She had a photo of herself with her parents on her nightstand , and she looked so happy .

She also had a photo of herself with her friend Nan who I recognized from Carters Resort .

I didnt bother changing her out of her clothes ; I wasnt going to cross that line .

Instead , I tucked her into bed , making sure the covers were completely on top of her before I left .

You are late , my mother said as I walked into the house .

Im right on time , I told her , glancing at the clock .

If you arent early , then you are late , she told me , raising her brows .

Everyone is in the kitchen already , Dinner will be ready shortly .

Hi , Grandma , Irene said as she stepped around me and into the house .

My mothers face softened as she reached her arms out and wrapped my daughter in a hug .

Oh , Irene sweetie .

I thought you were going to be too busy to join us this evening .

Im so glad youre here , she breathed .

I wanted you to officially meet my fiancé , she said , motioning for Ethan to step beside her .

Ethan stepped closer and gave my mother a polite smile .

Its an honor to finally meet you , Mam , he said , bowing is head in respect .

My mother chuckled and put a hand on his cheek in a warm gesture .

Hes quite handsome , my mother said to Irene with a sly wink .

Irene blushed and wrapped her arm through Ethans , resting her head on his shoulder .

My mothers eyes found Matt and she smiled sweetly at him .

Hello , Matthew .

You are looking rather handsome yoursel , she added , motioning for Matt to come with her .

He looked up at me with uncertainty on his face .

He doesnt often come to my mothers house , but I insisted he come along for this dinner .

I gave him a short nod and followed my mother through the living room and into the kitchen .noveldrama

I motioned for Irene to do the same .

She took Ethans hand and pulled him along with her .

I sighed and followed the kids into the kitchen .

The moment I stepped into the kitchen , I wished I could have turned around and walked back out .

Gavin , youre here ! Daisy exclaimed as she walked around the table to greet me .

Chapter 0039 Beta Taylor was also there ; he was often invited to my mothers family events because hes been pretty much family my entire life .

I gave him a stern look and he gave me an apologetic smile for not warning me that Daisy was going to be here .

She immediately wrapped her arms around me and hugged me ; I shimmed out of her embrace .

What are you doing here , Daisy ? I asked , not bothering to hide the edge in my voice .

I invited her , my mother said , beaming up at Daisy .

I thought we already discussed this , Mom , I said through my teeth , my anger rolling off me in waves .

You know your mother and I have always been close friends , Daisy said , batting her lashes at me .

Me being here isnt any different than Beta Taylor being here , Gavin also assumed you would have come to your senses since the last time we spoke .

She folded her arms across her chest .

How about we just sit down for dinner , my mother suggested , ushering Daisy to her seat .

I stood , staring at the nicely set table and noticing that the only seat available was right next to Daisy .

I had to fight to control myself .

Taylor stepped beside me and leaned in so only I could hear his words .

Melissa died years ago , Alpha .

Perhaps your mother is onto something .

You should be moving on .

Chapter 0040 Judys POV What in the world happened last night ? How did I end up back in my bed ? I looked around with a frown , seemed unchanged , but there was a lingering scent that caused my heart to beat rapidly in my chest My head was killing me from all the alcohol I drank last night .

Why the hell would I drink so much ? nothing I slipped out of bed and walked into my bathroom ; I gasped when I saw my disheveled appearance .

My hair was a mess , my makeup was smeared across my face .

I had dark circles under my eyes , and I was so pale .

I touched my face and sighed .

I felt like death and now I looked like death too .

Groaning , I splashed some cold water onto my face .

Memories of last night started to come back to me and I gasped as I staggered backward .

I remembered vaguely one of the Alphas getting me drunk and trying to take me away from the ceremony .

Then I remembered Gavin appearing and getting me out of there .

He took me back to his car and then Oh , Goddess … no .

Panic struck me as the memory slammed into my head .

I threw myself at him ! Was he the one who brought me home ? Well , I was no longer pale .

I was now multiple shades of red and I felt completely and utterly sick .

I staggered out of the bathroom , unable to look myself in the face any longer .

All I could see when I looked into my own eyes was shame .

My purse was sitting on the end of the bed ; now I was understanding why my room had a different and yet familiar scent to it .

It was Gavins scent .

My heart skipped a beat knowing that he was inside of my bedroom .

Another wave of shame hit me when I looked around at all the clothes on my floor .

I hadnt had time to clean up this past week and I was seriously regretting that now .

I reached into my purse and grabbed my phone ; it was almost dead because it hadnt been charged all night .

As soon as I put it on the charger , the screen lit up and I saw that I had some text messages from Nan .

Nan : Where are you ? You told me you were getting a drink and then you disappeared .

Nan : Please tell me you are alive .

Nan : Im going to call the police , Judy ! Seriously , where are you ?? Nan : Okay , someone told me that Gavin took you home .

Are you okay ? How much did you have to drink ? Nan : Please call me when you get these messages .

I internally groaned ; I cant believe I just ditched her at the ceremony last night .

She was only there to support me , and I left her because I couldnt hold down my own liquor .

hated myself for that and I couldnt imagine how worried she must have been last night .

I immediately brought up her contact and pressed her name to call her .

Oh , my goddess .

Where the hell have you been , Judy ? Do you have any idea how worried I was ? Nan 1/2 Chapter 0040 immediately laid into me .

Im so sorry , Nan , I told her , closing my eyes as the memories continued to slam into my head .

I wanted to will them away but to no prevail .

Im not sure what happened The rumors are going around like crazy , she told me .

I heard you got drunk and made out with an Alpha .

Was it Gavin ? My heart nearly beat out of my chest ; had I made out with an Alpha last night ? I remembered Alpha Edward getting handsy with me and Gavin stepping in .

I remember hrowing myself at Gavin , but I dont remember actually kissing him or anyone for that matter .

I dont think that happened , I told her , chewing on my bettom lip .

At least I hope it didnt .

So , what did end up happening ? Did you actually leave with Alpha Gavin ? Yes , 1 murmured .

And I think I made a huge mistake last night , Nan .noveldrama

I dont know what to do .

Tell me about it , she urged .

What did you do ? If you didnt make out with him , Im assuming you didnt sleep with him either .

It cant be that bad , right ? Im not sure , I sighed .

I think I threw myself at him… She was quiet for a moment as she allowed my words to be processed in her mind .

And then what ? She asked .

And nothing … he rejected me .
