My wolf 161-200

Chapter 161 Chapter 0161 A knot formed in the pit of my stomach as I stared at my Beta .

Then , where is she ?? She moved into the Cash family manor , Taylor blurted .

Fury boiled through me ; over my dead body will I allow Judy to continue living in that mansion .

Not after the way they treated her the last time we were there .

Get Raymond Cash on the phone ; Im inviting myself over for dinner , I said through my teeth .

Yes , Alpha , Taylor said with a smirk .

Is there a specific reason you want me to give him ? I narrowed my eyes at him .

Im a Lycan Chairmen , I dont need a reason , I all but barked .

Taylor nodded and went off to do what I asked .

An hour later , I was receiving an email inviting me to the Cash manor for dinner with Raymond Cash and his family .

Are you sure you dont want me to go in with you ? Taylor asked as he pulled up the front doors of the Cash family manor .

If you lose your temper , it could start some issues .

I can handle myself , I muttered .

But stay here , just in case .

Will do , Taylor said as he watched me get out of the car and walk towards the front doors .

The butler opened the door before I reached the top step of the porch .

Alpha Gavin Landry , its an honor to have you in my home and having dinner with my family and 1,1 Raymond said with a broad smile .

I have to admit though , I was quite curious about the reason behind this meeting .

Theres no reason , Raymond .

I figured if my daughter is going to marry into this family , I need to get to know you a little better .

After all , we are all family now , arent we ? I said , raising my brows at him .

He looked nervous and had a small trail of sweat on his forehead .

Yes , of course , he said , nodding his head .

I apologize .

Im glad to have you here .

Well , hello there , Alpha , Kelsey , the 18 year old Cash daughter said as she made her way down the stairs .

When I heard you were joining us for dinner , I had to get the perfect dress for the occasion .

Do you like it ? It was a shimmering gold dress that sparkled under the crystal chandelier .

Hmm , I murmured .

Meredith and Kelsey will take you into the dining hall , Raymond said .

I have a quick call to make and then Ill join you shortly .

I nodded and went with the girls into the dining hall .

I paused when I saw a woman seated at the table .

She was wearing a casual evening gown , and her dark hair was pinned out of her face .

She looked up at me with familiar warm eyes and a smile tipped the corner of her lips .

# Chapter 0161 Alpha Landry .

Its so good to see you again , she said Mrs.

Montague , I said , taking her hand and bringing it to my lips .

She chuckled at the gesture but when she saw the scowl that Meredith was sporting , her smile to into a deep frown as she pulled her hand away .noveldrama

Shelly , I didnt think you were joining us this evening .

You know we were expecting an important guest , Meredith said with a fake plastered smile .

Michele Montagues face reddened as she glanced at her empty plate .

Im sorry ; nobody informed me that I wasnt invited.

I have been eating dinner with your family every ir night these last few days , she said softly .

I can go Id like it if you stayed , I said sharply .

Please .

She looked surprised , as did the others .

But nobody would go against me , an order .

Of course , she said , relaxing in her seat .

which was why I spoke it like Its not a problem at all , Meredith murmured .

Please , take a seat , Alpha She motioned for the spot directly next to Kelsey , who kept staring at me and batting her lashes .

I felt sick being this close to her , but I took my seat anyway .

Seeing Michele here was proof that Judy was also here .

apter 0162 Raymond entered the room shortly after and whispered something to one of the maids .

She nodded and went with a few others towards the kitchen .

Sorry for the delay .

Shes going to start bringing out our meal now , Raymond said as he took his seat at the head of the table .noveldrama

1 frowned .

leing that ther But not everyone is here yet , I said , glancing around the table and wasnt an empty chair left ..

Oh , were you expecting someone else , Alpha ? Raymond asked with a frown .

I wasnt aware .

Your Beta didnt inform me … I glanced at Michele Montague who looked a bit sheepish .

I got the feeling that she knew who I was talking about .

She bit her bottom lip and stared down at her plate , refusing to meet my eyes .

I guess not , I murmured , still confused , keeping it quiet for right now .

Soon , the maids were returning with our food , and they served us both the meal and wine .

Daddy , the maids have been working so hard .

I think we should give them the rest of the evening off , Kelsey said as she nibbled on her steak And who will clean up after dinner ? Raymond asked raising his brows .

Ill take care of it , she said , shrugging .

Its honestly no problem .

Its the least I can do .

Raymond thought it over carefully before relenting and nodding .

Okay , he said , taking a big bite of his food .

If you dont mind .

She grinned as she continued to eat her food .

We spoke casually for most of the meal ; I couldnt help but worry about Judy though .

She was somewhere in this manor … I could smell her as if she was right next to me .

Her mother kept avoiding my gaze and continued to eat without contributing to the conversation .

Kelsey continued to brush against me and a few times , I felt her foot on my leg .

I had to keep shoving it off and positioning myself away from her .

Raymond spoke mostly about the advantages of his pack and how excited he was that his son was going to be the Alpha .

It was a long time coming and nobody deserved it more than Ethan .

He expressed how Irene fit right into the family .

Meredith chimed in at that point and said something about Irene , inviting them to the country club for brunch at some point next week .

After the meal concluded , Raymond stood to his feet .

How about we take this conversation into the parlor , and we can have some coffee and dessert ? He suggested .

We walked out of the dining hall and towards the parlor .

Kesley stayed behind to clean .

As we waited in the parlor for our coffee and dessert , we continued the conversation .

My stomach was twisting and for 1/2 Chapter 0162 some reason my wolf was agitated .

He wanted to return to the kitchen .

I looked in the direction of the door and my brows furrowed .

Is everything okay , Alpha ? Meredith asked .

Kelsey has been awhile , I pointed out .

Oh , Im sure shes fine .

There were a lot of dishes , Meredith said , sipping on her coffee .

Still , Im going to check on her , I said , standing to my feet .

Such a noble Lycan he is , Raymond laughed , Meredith laughed as well but it was more forced and awkward .

I ignored them both and made my way back toward the dining hall .

But as I reached the door , I heard Kesleys voice sneering , which made me freeze .

You are nothing but a useless bitch ! Only good for being a slave and cleaning up after my familys meal .

Chapter 0163 Judys POV My stomach was growling angrily .

I hadnt eaten much other than scraps in days .

When Kelsey came to get me and told me to come to the dining hall , I thought I was going to finally get some decent food .

But I was sorely disappointed when I saw that they had already eaten and left not even a single morsel .

All that was left were their dirty plates and empty wine glasses .

She gave the maids the night off and she expected me o clean the entire mess by myself , while she watched like some kind of creep .

She ridiculed me the entire time .

I grabbed a large tray and started to pile up some of the glasses and plates on the tray .

Just as I walked past her and towards the kitchen , she stuck her foot out , making me fall to the ground and shatter most of the plates and glasses .

One of the glass chunks sliced through my finger and I hissed in pain as I saw blood pooling in my palm ..

So , fucking clumsy ! Kelsey hissed .noveldrama

Look what you did ! You were the one who tripped me , I murmured as I cradled my injured hand .

She swung her hand so fast ; I didnt even see it coming .

But I felt the sting of the slap and I bit my lip from the force .

I tasted blood in my mouth from splitting my lip open .

Why was this happening to me ? What had I done to deserve this ?? Awe , are you going to cry now ? Kelsey asked , folding her arms across her chest .

Get over yourself .

Nobody is coming to your rescue , especially not your weak ass mother .

I lifted my gaze and stared at her through my tear filled eyes .

Dont you dare speak about my mother like that , I said , my tone coming out shaky .

I knew if I truly wanted to , I could easily beat the crap out of Kelsey .

But I couldnt because of my mother … she would never forgive me if I ruined this for her .

I felt so helpless at this moment .

The pain in my hand stung even worse as Kelsey laughed .

You are nothing but a useless bitch ! Only good for being a slave and cleaning up after my familys meal .

How does it feel to be a nobody ? Just then , the door of the dining hall burst open , and Kelsey staggered back when she saw the intruder .

What is the meaning of this ?! A familiar roar echoed through the room .

My entire body stilled upon .

haring his voice .

I lifted my gaze , and I was stunned to see Gavin standing before me .

Anger was rolling off him in waves as he glared daggers at Kelsey .

His Lycan aura shining brighter than his Alpha aura .

He was pissed and he was about to make everyone in this house knows it .

A … Alpha , Kesley stammered , suddenly looking like a weak child .

I was just … I was … Shes hurt a and youre ridiculing her , Gavin hissed ; it wasnt a question , just an observation .

Why is Chapter 0163 she on the ground with glass all around her ? I … uh … Kelsey stammered , her face growing redder by the second .

She tripped and fell .

I was just about to help her up .

She bent down to grab my arm but stopped suddenly when Gavin roared loudly , shaking the entire manor and nearly knocking her off her feet in the process .

Do not touch her ! Gavin growled .

Even I was shivering from his anger ; he was truly fierce and terrifying when he wanted to be .

Whats going on in here ? Raymond asked as he ran into the room .

When he saw me on the ground , his eyes darkened with fury and he looked as if he was about to say something degrading towards me , but Gavin spoke first .

Is this how you raise your daughter ? To treat your house guests with disrespect ?? Gavin growled , turning his anger towards Raymond .

Raymond paled upon hearing Gavins question .

What ? No , of course not .

I- Tell me why your daughter thinks its okay to treat anyone like this ! Gavin said , pointing down at me .

Raymond glanced at me and then at Kesley who was now shaking in the corner .

I wanted the ground to open and swallow me whole .

Once again , the door swung open .

Gavins POV Kelsey ? Meredith asked as she walked into the room .

Mom ! Kelsey cried as she ran towards her and wrapped her arms around her mother , sobbing .

She pushed me first .

I was only cleaning the dishes , and she told me that she could do it better .

She grabbed the tray of plates and glasses out of my hands and fell in the process .

I didnt mean for her to get hurt ! Of course you didnt sweetheart , Meredith cooed her daughter .

All will be okay .

Your father will sort it out .

See , Alpha .

Its only a misunderstanding .

I stared down at Judy who had tears in her eyes ; she could barely look at me and my stomach tightened .

I needed to get her out of here .

Kelsey clearly had them wrapped around her finger , but I wasnt a fool .

I knew she was lying .

I sent a mindlink to Beta Taylor and ordered him to get me the security footage of the dining hall .

I shoved my way through the dining hall and stopped when I reached Judy .

2

hapter 0164 She was trembling and keeping her eyes on her open wound .

I wrapped my arms around her , hating how tense she was from my touch .

I pulled her into me and lifted her into my arms .

She sucked in a sharp breath as she held onto me with her good hand and carefully positioned her injured hand away so she wouldnt get any blood on me .

Take me to your bathroom , I ordered Raymond .

Yes , Alpha , he said quickly as he rushed out of the dining hall .

I followed after him , not bothering to spare the mother and daughter duo another look .

As we walked down the hallway , I heard a loud gasp from nearby .

Judy ?? Michele exclaimed .

What happened ? Are you okay ? Im okay , Mom , she said weakly .

Just a little cut .

Shes losing a lot of blood .

I need to patch it before she loses anymore , I said as I continued to follow Raymond down the hall .

We entered the bathroom and just as Raymond was about to say something more , I slammed the door in his face .

I let out a breath of air .

Judy was still tense , and her eyes were fixed on her wound .

I set her down on the counter as I searched the bathroom for a first aid kit .

It didnt take long to find one under the sink You dont have to do this , Judy said , breaking the silence .

I glanced up at her briefly before I rummaged through the first aid kit , uncovering bandages and ointment .

Do you expect me to let you bleed out ? I asked her in return .

She shrugged her shoulder , but she said nothing .

I grabbed her hand and turned on the water to the sink.

The moment my hand wrapped around her wrist , she tensed and made it impossible for me to move her .

I frowned at her .

Just let me take care of you , I breathed , my body becoming so aware of hers that I was practically on fire .

She stared into my eyes for a moment longer before relaxing herself .

I brought her hand to the warm water and started to rinse out her wound .

She winced from the sting and her body tensed once again , but it only lasted a moment .

Soon , she was relaxing again , and she was releasing a breath of relief .

I ran circles with my thumb around her wrist , soothing her , as I cleaned her wound .

With each stroke of my thumb , she relaxed even more and I notice she was now looking at me periodically .

I tried to pretend I didnt notice , but I could feel the heat of her stare on the side of my face , and I had to fight the smile tugging at the corner of my lips .

Why are you here? She asked , breaking the thick silence that started to consume us .

I grabbed the bandages , along with some ointment that will keep her wound from getting infected .

I came here for you .

– Chapter of I dont think she was expecting that reply because she sucked in a sharp breath and her eyes grew wide .

You what ? I paused and looked up at her , meeting her eyes .

I was wrong , I told her , keeping my eyes locked on hers .

About everything .

I shouldnt have accused you of hurting my son .

I know you arent capable of something so sinister like that .

I should have listened to you instead of kicking you out .

Im here to apologize to you .

She was quiet for a long while as she continued to stare into my eyes .

I broke eye contact so I could continue tending to her wound .

I applied the ointment , and she winced at the sting as she too refocused her attention on her injury .

I wrapped her hand tightly , making sure her wound was closed .

I sent a link to Taylor to have his mate check over Judys wound in the morning When I finished , I released my hold on her , but I did so reluctantly .

Thank you , she finally said , breaking the silence once again .

For wrapping my hand and for apologizing … I should have done so sooner , I told her , meeting her eyes .

Apologize I mean .

Sending Taylor to you was stupid and a cowardly thing to do .

She bit back a smile , but I could see it forming on her lips as her cheeks turned red.

Yes , it was , she agreed .

But you did the right thing .

And its a good thing you came when you Kelsey is crazy .

Who knows what more she would have done if you hadnt entered .

I didnt want to think about such a thing .

did .

Good thing shell never get the chance to hurt you again , I muttered as I caged her in with my arms , staring back into her eyes .

She furrowed her brows .

What are you talking about ? She asked .noveldrama

She has all the opportunity in the world .

I kind of live with her now if you hadnt noticed .

I smirked and leaned in closer to her , our lips only inches apart .

I could feel her warm breath cascading across my mouth and warming my features .

Not anymore you dont , I murmured before brushing my lips , featherlike , against hers .

Her cheeks turned a bright shade of pink as she sighed in contentment from the chaste kiss .

Because from now on you are going to live with me .

Chapter 0165 Judys POV I was about to protest that I couldnt just leave with him without others being suspicious .

But before I could utter a single word , there was a knock on the door .

My entire body tensed , and I felt my cheeks burning hot .

Gavin didnt seem to be as worried because he backed away from me and then he winked .

It made my checks burn even more and I wanted to jump in front of him to keep him from opening that door , but it was too late .

He swung open the door , and my mother stood on the other side with wide eyes .

She stared up at Gavin , her body trembling before her eyes found mine .

Judy , sweetie , she breathed as she brushed past Gavin and entered the bathroom .

Are you okay ? What happened to you ? Its okay , I rushed out , not wanting her to worry .

okay .

Gavin patched me up .

Im good as new .

I showed her my hand and she cradled it gently , tears filling her eyes .

I knew my mother was aware of what was going on with me , but she was pretending that everything was okay , acting as if she wasnt seeing or hearing things through the grapevines .

I couldnt blame her ; she was only doing all of this for my father .

She wanted him out of prison desperately and she would do anything to make that happen .

At one point , I would have done the same thing for Ethan .

Im so sorry , she whispered .

Its honestly okay , Mom , I reassured her .

It was only an accident .

It happens .

I hated lying to her , but I didnt know what else to say to make her feel better .

Gavins eyes darkened because he knew it was a lie ; he saw what had happened and he was furious on my behalf .

I gave him a slight head shake as my mother threw her arms around me to hug me ; I didnt want him to reveal my lie .

He sighed and folded his arms across his chest .

I have a separate mansion in my pack , Gavin went on to say as my mother untangled herself from my arms .

Its fully staffed and Im only there when I have business at the Northern Border .

I want you both to live there .

There are no stipulations .

My mothers eyes widened as she stared up at him ; I was at a loss for words .

He was offering my mother a way out as well .

My heart swelled and tears filled my eyes .

I expected my mother to jump at the opportunity right away , but when she said nothing , my heart began to grow heavy as I stared at her concerned face .

Alpha , would you mind if I spoke to my daughter alone ? She asked him .

He looked a bit taken aback as well as he met my eyes ; was just as confused .

But he soon nodded .

Of course , he told her .

Take all the time you need .

He gave me one last look before he turned and walked out of the bathroom .

Hooked at my mother and she turned to me with a sad smile .

Chapter 0165 Mom , whats going on ? I asked her .

Firstly , can I ask you if something is going on between you and Gavin Landry ? She asked , raising her brows .

I was shocked by her question , and I felt my cheeks burning .

No , of course , theres not , I told her , lying once again .

Why do you ask ? She shrugged .

He seems to show you a lot of concern .

I know youve been working in his pack as a tutor and thats how you know him … but he seems to treat you with a care that seems almost intimate .

Nothing is going on , I said quickly , staring down at my hands .

Is that why you wanted to talk to me ? No , she said , stepping closer to me and taking my hands in hers .

I cant leave here Judy .

I sucked in a sharp breath .

What ? Why not ? I asked her , shaking my head , not wanting to believe her words .noveldrama

She looked sad as she sighed .

Because then we wont have the Cash family to help us , she murmured .

They offered me money to do some housework for them .

I get to live in one of their pristine guest rooms and eat with the family , but Ive been given basic chores .

In return , they will give me a large sum of money thatll help pay off your fathers debt .

I raised my eyebrows .

They want you to be a maid ? I asked her , my lips pressing in a thin line .

Ive seen firsthand how they treat their servants , and I didnt want my mother to be a part of that .

My stomach twisted at the very thought , and I suddenly wasnt feeling too well .

Not exactly , she told me .

Its different because they still treat me like an old friend and a part of their family .

I shook my head , tears filling my eyes .

Mom , you cant be serious .

Please , Alpha Landry is giving us a way out of here ….

Is he offering to pay your fathers debt ? She asked .

Have you asked him ? I swallowed the lump in my throat ; I hadnt exactly told him about my fathers debt .

Of course , he knew I was desperate for money from all those times Ive tried to seduce him before truly getting to know him … but I never told him of my family issues .

I was a bit embarrassed about it if I were to be honest and I truly didnt want him to know about it .

Chapter 0166 At least not right now .

My mother could read my expression , and her gaze softened .

It wasnt fait of me to ask you to get Ethans help , and it wouldnt be fair of me to ask you to get Gavins .

help .

So , Im doing my part and trying to get help without making our family look pathetic , she explained .

This is something I have to do .

If all goes well , I should be able to get him out of prison in a few months and we can be a family again .

Tears slipped down my cheeks as I nodded , not sure what else to do or say .

She cupped my face with her warm hands and brought my face up to meet her gaze .

But I think you should go to that mansion and take him up on that offer , she continued .

I narrowed my eyes at her .

What ? I asked , shocked .

I cant just leave you here ..

Ill be fine , sweetie , she assured me .

But I know things arent okay for you here and I dont want to subject you to any more of this .

I know your injury wasnt an accident and Im so sorry to put you in this position .

I shook my head .

No , its okay , Mom .

It truly was an accident … You cant lie to me , Judy , she told me , releasing her hold on my face .

I only want whats best for my family and for right now , I think you living in the Landry mansion would be best .

Once your father is out of jail , we will get back on our feet .

We will get a new home and be a family once again .

But until then , I think this would be best .

I bit my lower lip as more tears slipped out of my eyes .

I love you , I whispered hoarsely .

She smiled and wrapped me in her arms .

I love you so much , she murmured .

You were the best decision we had ever made .

I love being your adopted mother and Im so sorry this is happening .

I sniffled and wiped my moist cheeks .

Its not your fault , I assured her , knowing just how true that was .

It was Ethans fault ; I didnt trust him or his family and now my mother was a victim to them .

There was nothing I could do about it , which was even worse .

After a moment , my mother opened the bathroom door and stepped into the hallway .

Gavin wasnt anywhere near the bathroom , and I was relieved by that because it meant he hadnt heard the conversation .

I followed my mother out of the bathroom and down the hallway until we reached the parlor ; we heard the voices of the Cash family as they spoke every excuse known to man to Gavin about 1/2 Chapter 0166 how I got Injured .

1 couldnt help but roll my eyes .

When we entered , the conversation started to subside as their attention was fixed on me .

Oh , Judy , youre back , Meredith said as she rushed over to me , acting like she cared .

How are you feeling ? Hows your hand ? Im so sorry about what happened .

Its okay , I murmured , glancing at Gavin who only looked pissed .

He could see through it as well and I was relieved by that .

How about you get back to your room and rest for the evening , she told me .

1 I looked at my mother and she gave me a faint smile .

I nodded .

Okay , I murmured .

Good night .

I turned and left the parlor but as soon as I stepped out and the door shut behind me , it reopened and then shut .

I turned and saw Gavin following me , his eyes dark with rage .

Youre living with me whether you like it or not .

I dont want you here any longer , he told me , fully expecting that I would put up a fight , but I had already made up my mind .

I nodded .

Okay , I told him , defeated .

His expression softened and he looked almost surprised .

Okay , then , he murmured .

And your mother- Shes staying here , I told him , stopping whatever he was about to say .noveldrama

It was her choice .

She doesnt want to come .

.He raised his brows .

Are you sure ? Shes made up her mind , Gavin , I told him .

But if we leave … you have to promise me that youll make sure they treat my mother with respect and kindness .

Dont let this … I held up my injured hand .

… happen to her too .

H His eyes darkened and he nodded .

Ill speak with them , he said without hesitation .

They wont lay a finger on her .

I was relieved to hear that , and I turned to walk back to the servants quarters , but he grabbed my arm to stop me .

Pack your things .

Beta Taylor will be by tonight to grab you .

Tell them youre staying with a friend going forward .

11 Chapter 0167

Chapter 0167 Gavins POV After Judy went back to her room , I returned to the parlor where Richard was speaking with his wife .

They both looked nervous as they discussed what they were going to do If I did happen to pull my funding .

Without my funding , they would go bankrupt and they would lose almost everything .

They would have to use the profits from their business to pay back the money I invested .

I turned to Michelle and gave her a small smile ; she watched me warily and I knew she was only worried for her daughter .

How about you rest as well ? I need to speak with the cashs alone for a moment , I told her softly .

She nodded and soon , she left .

I turned to the Cash family , my eyes narrowed .

Richard silenced his conversation and then turned to Kelsey .

Leave us , he ordered .

She pressed her lips in a thin line and folded her arms across her chest .

Can I stay ? She asked him .

No , he said firmly and without hesitation .

We need to speak with Alpha Landry alone .

She pouted , but she didnt argue any further .

She soon left , but not before batting her lashes up at me and winking .

I recoiled at the sight and remained quiet until she was gone .

I turned to face Richard and Meredith who both looked small as they stared back at me .

Im not pleased with what I had seen here tonight , I said to them .

I felt like I was scolding a couple of children .

How can I allow my daughter to marry into a family I cannot trust ? You can trust us , Alpha , Richard assured me .

It was only a misunderstanding .

It will be dealt with properly .

Are you forgetting that I funded most of your business and I can take it away in an instant ? Youd have to pay back every dime I gave you , I reminded him .

I funded most of the businesses around the Werewolf Kingdom , but only the ones I saw potential in .

They were investments and they mostly did me well .

Some other Lycans funded some as well , but not nearly as many as I did .

If I were to take it away , they would have to pay me back every dime invested .

Of course , I didnt forget Alpha … If theres any further harm to either Judy or her mother , there will be consequences to those actions , understood ? They both nodded .

Yes , Alpha , Richard said , bowing his head to me .

He nudged his wife who also bowed her head to me .

Chapter 0167 .

No harm will come to either of them .

You have our wols , Judys POV spent an hour packing my clothes and other personal belongings .

Most of my things were in storage , so I didnt have a lot of things here .

But I had to stop a few times to gather my thoughts .

I couldnt believe I was going to move into Gavins mansion without my other .

Leaving her here was the hardest thing ! ever had to do , and my stomach twisted at the very thought .

I sat on the small cot that had been my bed for most of this week and took in a deep breath .noveldrama

I certainly wasnt going to miss this place that was for sure .

Most of the malds treated me terribly because they felt I didnt belong there .

But none of them treated it would only mean trouble for my mother , so e as badly as Kelsey and if I stood up for myself , I knew bit my tongue and let her do as she pleased .

I continued to pack until all my things were accounted for .

Soon , the door of my room was swinging open , which wasnt shocking .

There was no privacy here and when Kelsey wanted me for something , she never knocked .

She stormed into my room and her scowl was furious as she glared at me .

What the fuck do you think youre doing ? She asked , staring at the bag on my bed .

Im leaving , I told her without looking at her .

The hell you are , she growled , grabbing my bag , and ripping it out of my hands .

I was so stunned by her movements that I was frozen as I watched my bagly across the room and hit the wall with a loud thud .

You arent going anywhere .

You have nowhere to go .

You are nothing but a useless orphan and youre going to stay here until you die , bitch ! I narrowed my eyes at her , my temper rising with each breath I took .

Im staying with a friend , I told her through my teeth .

My mother already gave me her blessing and 11 Chapter 0168 Chapter 0168

Chapter 0168 She let out a loud laugh , cutting off my words .

# Oh , you mean the mother who just signed a contract to be our live in maid for the next unforeseen future ? She asked , folding her arms across her chest Now , youre a maids daughter , which is even worse than what you currently are .

It wont be long before youre sharing a room with your precious mother .

My mom never lets maids live in her pristine guest rooms .

Shes going to be moving here by tomorrow morning at the latest .

1 I pressed my lips in a thin line ; they promised her that she would be able to live in the guest room and still be a part of the family while she did some household chores .

Had they lied to her ? Did she even read the contract before signing it ? My stomach twisted in a tight knot and my hands trembled at my sides .

I couldnt let that happen to my mother ; Something had to be done about this .

They were terrible people , and they were feeding off our misfortune .

I will kill you if you do anything to hurt my mother ! growled , my eyes growing red with fury .

Her hand moved so fast that I barely saw it , but I felt the sting in my cheek and the loud slapping sound .

Before I could react , she grabbed my hair and yanked me to the ground as her foot came down and stomped on my injured hand .

I screamed in pain as I grabbed her ankle and pulled her to the ground .

I focused my attention on all my training even though I was pretty sure my hand was fractured or at least sprained .

However , I managed to the best of her and pinned her to the ground .

She screamed and clawed at me , bringing forth the claws of her wolf , and scratched at my flesh until the scent of my blood filled the room .

I hissed out in pain , trying to get her to unlatch from me .

Before I could retaliate , the door swung open , and I heard a loud gasp .

Kelsey ! Meredith cried as Kelsey managed to shove me off her and swiped her claws across the flesh of my face , leaving her markings on my cheek .

I cried out in pain as the sting took over my entire body and burned .

Her nails had wolfbane nail polish on them , which was why it hurt so badly and made me coward away .

What is the meaning of this ?? I heard Beta Taylor growling as a couple of Silver Crescent guards grabbed Kelsey and pulled her away from me .

She attacked my daughter , obviously , Meredith hissed as she went over to Kelsey .

She should be punished ! My fingers trembled as I kept my injured face covered and my eyes averted away from them .

Get Judys things , Taylor ordered one of the guards who nodded and went to grab my suitcase which was thrown across the room .

Taylor turned to Richard who stood at the doorway with his eyes wide as he looked between me and his daughter .

Is this how you raised your daughter ? You should be ashamed of yourself .

Alpha Gavin will hear about this .

P … please , Richard stammered .

Theres been a misunderstanding … Hes made it perfectly clear before he left that no harm would come to Judy and her mother .

You broke your vow , Taylor growled , pointing at me .

Look at what your daughter did to her ! I will deal with Kesley .

She wasnt there for the conversation .

Shell be punished but please , dont Chapter 0168 punish the rest of us for her actions , Richard pleaded Deal with her , Taylor said after a moment of pause as he narrowed his eyes .

Or we will and your new role as the Delta of the Redmoon pack is terminated , and your son will have no chance of becoming the Alpha .

Not to mention all the funding from Silver Crescent will be pulled .

Y … yes , Beta , Richard said , bowing his head .

I will deal with it .

Beta Taylor turned to me and without hesitation , he led me into his arms , cradling me bridal style .

He turned to his guard and nodded .

They released Kelsey and they started to leave the room .

Kelsey was trembling with rage when she watched us leave .

What the hell is going on ? Where are you taking her ? She demanded .

Kelsey ! That is enough ! Richard growled .

But Dad ! She complained .

I said enough !! He growled , practically shaking the entire manor .noveldrama

Im not sure what happened next because I soon blacked out .

Todays Bonus Offer GET IT NOW

Chapter 0169 Judys POV Youre a miracle working , Beta Taylor breathed .

Theres not even a scar left .

I cant take all the credit , a womans voice replied .

er wolf is strong and was able to heal most of her already .

1 only applied some ointment to help with the external Injuries .

Alpha Gavin will be pleased when he sees her , Taylor sald .

When do you think shell wake up ? She was overly exhausted and very dehydrated , not to mention a little malnourished from this week , the woman said softly .

I cant imagine what she went through this week .

We should let her rest a little further .

I groaned as my fingers twitched to life and both their voices faded away .

I managed to open my eyes but closed them upon seeing the bright light of whatever room I was in .

I could tell I was in bed , and I could hear the light beeping of the heart monitor near the bed .

I must have been in the hospital .

I remembered Beta Taylor carrying me out of the Cash family manor , and then everything went black as I passed out .

He must have brought me to the Silver Crescent Hospital , which was known to have the best doctors in the world .

It seems shes waking up now , the woman said , sounding pleased .

Once again , youre a miracle worker , Taylor said , sounding far too proud of this woman .

She chuckled and for the first time , it sounded almost intimate .

My brows furrowed together as I moved my head , trying to get a feel for my body .

Thankfully , I wasnt feeling any pain , and I was even able to move my hand , which meant it was no longer sprained .

Behave yourself , Taylor , the woman said .

I heard him kissing her and her breathy chuckles .

When I opened my eyes for the second time , it was a bit easier this time .

I looked over to see Taylor kissing the side of her face and she playfully shoved him away .

Not while Im working , she murmured against him But Ive missed you , he replied .

Youve been gone too long .

Its my job .

You know there was an emergency in a different faraway pack that I had to attend to .

But Im here now and Im not going anywhere for a while .

We have time to catch up , she assured him .

He pouted and wrapped his arms around her .

I know , he sighed .

Its not fair .

No one else is separated from their mate for this long .

Mate ?! This woman was Beta Taylors mate ?? I knew that Taylor was mated , but I honestly didnt think much about it .

I had no idea that his mate was a doctor in the Silver Crescent hospital , let alone a traveling doctor .

Chapter 0169 Its been 2 weeks , she chuckled ..

Neither of them noticed that my eyes were now open as they fell into an easy conversation .

As they continued to talk , I examined her for a long while .

She was very pretty with her long blond hair pulled back into a neat ponytail and her large , framed glasses She wore a long white doctors coat with a pink collared shirt underneath .

She was tall and thin , but not as tall as Taylor .

He still towered over her by at least a foot , and they looked so comfortable with one another .

It was strange to see Taylor like this and it melted my heart a little .

Taylor was the first to notice that I was awake , and his eyes widened .

Oh , sorry , he said , stepping away from his mate .

I didnt notice you were awake .

How are you feeling ? The doctor then glanced at me and her eyes also widened as her cheeks grew impossibly pink.

My apologies , she said , straightening out her coat .

Do you feel any pain ? Are you able to speak ? I licked my dry lips .

I think so , I said hoarsely .

Um … do you have any water ? Oh , course , she said quickly as she grabbed a water bottle from the nearby mini fridge and brought it over to me .

She opened the top , cracked the seal , and brought it to my lips , helping me take a slow and steady sip .

The cold water soothed my aching throat and made me feel a million times better .

I couldnt remember the last time I had a drink of water , but it was just what I needed .

How long have I been here for ? I asked , glancing between the two of them .

Only for the night , Taylor said .

You slept all night and into the morning .

Its mid morning right now .

I nodded and glanced around at my surroundings ; I was right , it was a hospital with the Silver Crescent Silver symbol on the wall .

You were overly tired , the doctor informed me .

And dehydrated .

But other than that , you are healthy , and all your injuries have been healed .

And my face ? I asked , remembering that Kelsey scratched me with her Wolfsbane nail polish .noveldrama

I reached up to touch my cheek , but I felt nothing there .

Your face looks good as new , the doctor assured me Not even a scar

Chapter 0170 Shes truly a miracle worker , Taylor said with a proud smile .

I raised my brows at him and then glanced at the doctor .

I dont believe weve met , I told her , my voice starting to come back fully as I took another larger slp of water .

She blushed and gave me a small smile .

Im Doctor Elizabeth Pierce .

You can call me Eliza though because I know you are close to Taylor and the Alpha .

I glanced at Taylor , giving him a perplexed look .

She knows that you are working for Gavin , he admitted .

And that youre moving into his mansion .

And why does she know this ? I asked , already knowing the answer , but wanting to hear it from him .

Because Eliza is my mate , he explained .

I glanced at her , and she was looking at him with a proud smile .

She looked like she was in her early 30s , maybe even late 20s .

Shes also the best doctor in the world , he continued .

Shes the leading doctor in his hospital and travels frequently .

She just got back after being away for 2 weeks .

Ill be around for a while , she assured him .

Im not due to leave anytime soon unless theres another emergency that requires me .

Which isnt likely .

I smiled at their interaction ; they were cute together .

Perhaps she could be a friend ; I could use another one of those , especially if I was going to be living in the Silver Crescent pack .

Nan was going to lose her mind when I told her this ; Iwasnt going to keep this from her .

She was my best friend , and she deserved to know what was going on in my life ; it was time that I confessed some things to her .

Besides , its not like Id be able to hide the fact that Im living with Gavin Landry .

She would eventually find out the truth and I didnt want her to find out from anyone besides me .

You are free to go whenever you are ready , Eliza told me with a warm smile .

Taylor , will you take you to your new home .

My new home .noveldrama

That felt weird to think about .

I nodded and glanced at Taylor .

Your things have been brought there already , including the stuff you put in storage , he explained .

I was surprised by this , and my face must have shown it because he let out a laugh .

Alpha Gavin is thorough , he explained .

Should we get going ? Okay , I said .

After a few more minutes of me drinking water and Eliza taking the IV out of my body and detaching the to heart monitor , I was ready to leave .

Ducion they had me sitting in a wheelchair as they wheeled me out of the hospital and towards the waiting car .

Taylor said goodbye to his mate before .

helping me out of the seat ; my legs felt a little weird , but I knew the feeling wouldnt last long .

I sat in the back seat of the car and before Taylor shut the door , Eliza poked her head in .

I hope we can see each other again soon , Judy .

It was very nice to meet you .

I nodded and smiled at her .

Yeah , you too , I told her .

She was the one who shut the door .

I watched as she kissed Taylor gently on the lips .

After they said their final goodbyes , he jumped into the drivers seat , and we drove away from the hospital .

Gavins POV Shes on her way to the mansion right now , Beta Taylor mindlinked me while I was in my -glanced at the time and saw that it was just past noon .

office .

I Ill head there shortly , I told him .

I closed the link and tried to finish my work as quickly as I could .

I heard the sound of a new email alerting my computer and when I opened it , I frowned at the name of the person who sent the email .

I recognized the name Chanse Wellington ; he was a famous movie director , and I had been in contact with him over the last couple of months because he wanted to film a movie in my pack .

I signed the contract stating my terms and conditions and the deal was finalized a few weeks ago .

I hadnt heard back from him yet though so I wasnt sure when the movie filming would take place .

But it seems he finally figured it out and was returning my email after keeping me waiting for weeks .

Hello Alpha Landry , Sorry for the short notice , but one of our actresses has an urgent matter to attend next month and wont be able to continue filming this movie .

We decided to push up the date of filming to appease her schedule .

We will be there next week .

If you have any questions or concerns , dont hesitate to respond to this email .

Otherwise , we will see you soon and we look forward to meeting you ! Best , Chanse Wellington .

Chapter 0171 Judys POV I wasnt sure what I was expecting when I arrived at the mansion , but it was gorgeous and almost as big as Gavins villa .

My mouth nearly fell open as we drove toward the glant stairs that led to the front door .

This place is fully staffed , Taylor explained .

It only doesnt have a butler , but I dont think youll need one .

Gavin assigned Leroy to this mansion as well , so he will be here to give you rides to and from whenever you need them .

He was assigned his own room with the staff so he will be here 24/7 .

Of course , Ill be in and out as well and so will Gavin .

I nodded along with each word he spoke , feeling incredibly overwhelmed .

There are 4 maids here , one of them being the head mald , and a head chef with 2 kitchen aids .

The maids each have a different role ; theres a maid for laundry , a maid for cleaning , and a maid for serving , and then the head maid is in charge of it all .

Dont hesitate to ask her for anything .

All your things have been put in your room already , including your cell phone .

I was relieved to hear that he recovered my cell phone from the Cash household ; I hadnt put it in my bag , and I worried that I would have to get a new one .

The maids worked on getting your room together all morning and putting your things away so it should be easy for you to find what you need .

Your schoolwork had been placed on your desk and everything , Taylor continued , surprising me even further .

Thats very thoughtful , I told him .

Thank you for all of this .

Dont thank me , he said , glancing at me through the rear view mirror .

It was all ordered by Gavin .

He wanted to make this move was easy as possible .

I think he feels bad about the whole Matt situation .

He knows it wasnt your fault and the one responsible has been dealt with .

I nodded , already knowing this because Gavin told me I appreciate that , I told him , glancing at my hands .

Will I be able to see Matt again ? Of course , Taylor said with a smirk .

You wont be getting out of work that easily .

So , I still have a job ? I asked .

Gavin already said as much , but I still wasnt sure if it was true or not .

Yes , Taylor replied .

Matt refuses to have another tutor .

You know he was willing to take the fall if it meant getting you back .

Wait what ? I asked , furrowing my brows .

Before I found out the truth , Matt told Gavin that it was him who put the peanut butter in the sandwich .

Claiming he forgot he was allergic , Taylor laughed .

My eyes grew wide as I stared at Taylor .

Are you serious ? I breathed .

He did that for me ? That boy worships you , Taylor told me as he turned the engine off .

So , it would break his heart if you werent his tutor anymore .

Chapter 0171 I nodded and bit my lower lip , unable to hide the smile forming on my face .

I couldnt believe Matt would do that for me .

Of course , I would never let him take the fall .

If I had found out that Matt took the fall and that was the reason I got my job back , I would have told Gavin that it was me and that Matt had nothing to do with it .

But Im pleased that it didnt come to that .

Come on , Taylor said as he got out of the car .

I followed him out of the car , walking closely behind him as we walked into the mansion .

It was just as beautiful on the inside as it was on the outside with its marble flooring and rustic designs .

It reminded me of the designs in Gavins villa and I could tell he had a specific taste in style .

The one thing that I noticed was that this entire place smelled like Gavin ; even with the various other smells in the mansion , like the staff and the food , I could heavily smell Gavin , and it made both me and my wolf relax .

We were immediately greeted by a middle aged woman who was about my height and her eyes were warm and welcoming .noveldrama

She had short curly brown hair pulled out of her face with a bandana , and unlike the servants in the Cash family manor , she wasnt wearing a maids uniform .

She wore a casual T shirt and an old pair of jeans .

Hello , she said sweetly .

Harper , this is Judy , Taylor introduced .

Judy , this is Harper , the head maid .

If you need anything , shes the one to ask .

I nodded .

Its nice to meet you , I said to her .

Likewise , she replied .

I hope everything is to your king.

If you are hungry , let me know and Ill have the kitchen staff cook you a meal .

Send me a list of your favorite foods and Ill make sure we have plenty of ingredients for them .

hapter 0172 I smiled .

Thats very kind of you , I told her .

But Im okay for right now .

Maybe later ? She nodded .

Of course , she said thoughtfully .

Taylor turned me .

I have to leave now but Gavin will be here later , he assured me .

Harper will take you to your room and help you get settled .

I nodded .

Thank you, Taylor , I said to him .

He nodded and then after a final goodbye , he left the mansion .

I turned to Harper who kept a sweet smile on her lips .

Its nice to have someone to serve , she said sweetly .

Alpha Gavin is here sometimes , but not nearly as much .

It gets boring taking care of an empty house after a while .

Im sure , I chuckled .

Im glad to be here .

Let me show you to your room , she said sweetly .

As we walked up the stairs , she started to explain all the things this mansion had to offer .

There was a library , a garden , an outdoor pool with a hot spring , and each bedroom had its own bathroom .

I was used to having my own bathroom , so it was going to be nice to have that again .

When we reached the second floor , we walked down the wide and brightly lit corridor until we reached my room .

She stepped into the room first and my mouth fell open .

Not only was it much bigger than the room I spent my entire life in , but it also had all my stuff .

Even the bed had my comforter and sheets on it ; all my pictures and awards were neatly placed on dressers and shelves .

My books were on the bookshelf and as Taylor said , my schoolwork , along with my backpack , was on the desk on the far side of the room which sat in front of the large window that overlooked the packland .

There was another large bay window on the other side of the room that overlooked the gardens , and , in the distance , I could see the pool and the hot spring .

There was a vanity that held my makeup and hair supplies , and I wasnt surprised when I peeked into the bathroom and saw that all my toiletries were already placed in their rightful spots .

The bathroom included a large shower and a separate whirlpool tub , along with a toilet and plenty of counter space .

The closet has all your clothes , Harper said as I stepped out of the bathroom .

She had the walk in closet door opened and I peeked my head in to see it filled with all my clothes , along with a few new things that I didnt recognize .

Some of these arent mine , I told her .

Chapter 0172 She nodded and bit her lip .

Some of the clothes that you brought to the Cash major looked deliberately ruined , she admitted .

I sighed and I couldnt help but roll my eyes .noveldrama

I knew it had to be because of Kelsey .

Im not sure when she went into my room and destroyed my clothes , but it had to have been recently because I didnt notice it .

So , I went shopping and bought you a few new outfits .

I hope you dont mind .

I couldnt find the exact outfits , so I improvised , she said , peeking up at me .

You didnt have to do that , I told her .

I would have been fine without them and even so , I could have replaced them myself .

She shrugged .

Gavin insisted that I got you some new clothes ; it was his money that was spent so its not a big deal , she assured me .

I sighed .

Im not sure if thats better or worse , but I didnt want to seem ungrateful and complain so I only thanked her once again .

I hope everything is to your liking , she said , glancing around at the room as we stepped out of the closet .

Its perfect , Harper .

Thank you , I told her .

She nodded , looking pleased with herself .

If you need anything , dont hesitate to call me .

You can either come find me or call or text me on your phone .

I took the liberty of putting my number in your contacts , she told me as she pointed to my phone charging on the nightstand .

I was relieved to see it and I smiled gratefully .

Unfortunately , we cant mindlink because you arent officially part of this pack .

So , thatll have to do for now .

We could change that , a deep voice said from the doorway , making me freeze entirely .

If you pledged yourself to me that is .

Chapter 0173 Judys POV Gavin was leaning against the doorframe with a smirk on his lips and I rolled my eyes at his words .

There wasnt a chance in hell I would convert myself and switch packs .

Not that easily at least .

Despite Ethan about to become the Alpha of the Redmoon pack , it was still my home .

My family was from there and so were my friends .

Gavin knew this though and I could tell he was joking because he looked like he was about to burst into laughter upon seeing my face .

Alpha , its good to see you , Harper said , bowing her head in respect .

I was just getting Judy settled and making sure she was okay before I attended my other duties .

Was there anything you need while Im here ? No , Im okay .

Thanks , Harper , he said to her politely .

I was pleased to see that he spoke to his staff with respect , unlike the Cash family who treats their staff but Taylor made it clear that no harm would come to my mother , or else Gavin would have the last word .

trusted them to keep their promise and protect my mother , so I had to hold onto that hope .

like worthless slaves .

My chest tightened when I thought about my mother still being in that e Harper nodded and then retreated from the room , leaving me alone with Gavin .

I swallowed as he stepped into the room , closing the door behind him .

Is everything to your liking ? He asked , glancing around the space .

Yes , its perfect , I told him .

I cant believe you got all my stuff .

He shrugged .

It wasnt hard , he admitted .

I just wanted you to be comfortable .

My checks grew warm , and I knew they were probably incredibly red .

Thanks again , I told him .

For everything .

Im glad to see that you are well .

Dr.

Peirce truly is the best doctor , he said , studying my face .

I felt embarrassed that he had seen me in that state .

She was very kind .

Taylor is lucky to have her as a mate , I told him .

Yes , he is , Gavin agreed .

By the way , you are expected to return to your duties Monday evening after school .

Youll be coming to the Villa to tutor Matt .

Leroy will be here later and will be staying here .

Taylor told me , I told him .

Gavin nodded .noveldrama

We stood awkwardly for a moment ; I knew we needed to talk about our relationship going forward because it hadnt been discussed yet .

Things got so messy after they had been so good for so long and now , I wasnt really sure where I stood .

I kept my eyes on the ground , but I felt Gavin studying my face with a curious expression .

Chapter 0123 1 bit my lip and glanced up at him , seeing his dark eyes trailing my face and down my body .

We should talk about us ….

1 finally found the courage to say .

I know things were messy after the Matt thing but Before I could finish my sentence , Gavin was closing the distance between us and his lips were covering mine .

He kissed me with more need than I ever thought Gavin would ever feel towards me .

His kiss sent an electric chill throughout my entire body ; I Instantly wrapped my arms around his neck , pulling myself close to him and he lifted me off the ground , forcing my legs around his waist as he walked towards my bed .

His tongue slipped out of his mouth and traced my bottom lip ; I parted my lips , allowing him entry and I felt the warmth of his tongue in my mouth as he tasted everything I had to offer , I couldnt help but moan against him as heat coursed through my entire body .

as soon I was itching to get myself and him out of these clothes .

He didnt keep me waiting long though , as my back was on the bed , he lifted off me and removed his shirt .

My heart hammered against my ribcage as I ran my fingers down his incredible abs , my mouth watering with desire as I took him in .

How was it possible for him to be this good looking and he was allowing me to touch him ? I could hardly contain my excitement ; I had missed this .

These past couple of weeks had been so lonely and all I wanted was to be with him again .

I was quick to remove my shirt , and he helped me remove my bra , exposing my bare chest to him .

His eyes darkened at the sight of my breasts and without warning , he was sucking and teasing my nipples , making me gasp with pleasure .

More heat coursed through me and as he worked to undo my pants , leaving me in only my panties , I could feel the evidence of my desires pooling between my legs .

Chapter 0174 Chapter 0174 He kissed down my body , making goosebumps form on my flesh and I wiggled beneath him with anticipation .

He slipped my pantles down my legs , and I kicked them to the ground .

I was completely naked now and exposed to him .

I wasnt embarrassed though ; I was too far gone to truly care .

He kissed my inner thighs , taking in my scent and the moisture that collected beneath me .

His eyes were dark with desires , and I knew his wolf was on the edge.

He let out a low growl as he buried his face in my core and devoured me .

I nearly screamed at the incredible sensation .

I dug my fingers into the bedsheets and moaned out his name , not caring if I was too loud and the maids could hear me .

I felt the pressure building quickly and just as I exploded , I cried out for him , making him growl again as he lapped up my orgasm .

He brought his lips back to mine so I could taste myself on his tongue and it turned me on even more .

I ran my fingers down his body , pushing at him gently , urging him to lie down on his back .

He didnt hesitate to oblige , and he watched me as I straddled his lap .

His eyes were dark as he took me in .

He helped me undo his pants and I slid them , along with his boxers , down his legs and onto the floor .noveldrama

He sprung to life and once again , I was amazed by his size .

I was only ever with Ethan , and even then , we never had sex , but we had done other things , and I did see his manhood .

It was nothing compared to Gavins though , If I hadnt already had sex with him , I wouldnt have believed it could fit inside of me .

He took hold of my hips as I ground against him .

His eyes were dark with lust as he watched me .

I smirked at him and lowered my face to him so I could kiss him , sucking his bottom lip into my mouth and making his mouth nice and swollen .

He nibbled at my bottom lip in return , making me chuckle .

Without warning , he lifted me off him , positioned me directly over his erection , and lowered me down with a final thrust .

I gasped at the sensation of him filling me .

The shock turned into pure pleasure , and I suddenly felt at peace … like I was officially whole again .

The only other time I felt like this was the last time I had sex with Gavin , but for some reason , this felt even better .

We stayed connected , unmoving , just looking into one anothers eyes for a moment longer , with our heartbeats thumping in unison and our breathing in sync .

After a moment , I started to move my hips , bouncing on him like our lives depended on it .

I moved even faster as his grip on my hips tightened .

His breathing grew heavy as he whispered out my name hoarsely .

I loved hearing my name on his lips when I was taking control of him ; it felt like I had full control over his soul .

I ran my fingers up my body , cupping my breasts and watching as his eyes dilated ; I loved the effect I had on him .

I ran my fingers through my hair and let out another breathy moan as his cock hit that perfect spot , causing my legs to tingle .

I felt him growing even more inside of me if that was even possible and his manhood started to twitch .

I knew that meant he was close , but he was holding back , wanting me to finish first .

I felt my whole body coming to life as I reached the peak .

I cried out his name as he reached between us and started to massage my clit with his thumb ; that was all it took for me to fall over the edge , taking him with me .

We came together as we both cried each others name .

I felt him filling me and then started to drip between my thighs .

Chapter 0174 I fell on top of him , keeping him inside of me .

He wrapped his arms around me and positioned us , so we were both lying down on our sides , our legs entangled and our connection intact .

Im not sure how long we remained like that , but soon I found exhaustion taking over .

His breathing was steady , so I knew he was also feeling the same exhaustion as I was .

At some point , I must have fallen asleep because darkness engulfed me .

But I fell asleep with a smile on my face and a single thought popped into my head .

I think Im going to like living here .

Chapter 0175 Judys POV Later in the evening , we had dinner in the dining hall .

I told the kitchen staff and Harper that on the days Gavin isnt here , Ill just eat in the kitchen .

They seemed to have understood ; so far , everybody here was very nice .

The food was delicious as well .

I glanced at Gavin who was cutting into his steak and when he felt me staring at him , he glanced in my direction .

I need to talk to you about something , I said quickly as I put down my fork .

Go on , he said , raising his brows ; he was trying hard not to smile , and I could tell because the corner of his lip twitched .

I need my best friend , I blurted .

I need to be able to talk to her about stuff and I hate lying about whats been going on in my life .

Shes going to ask questions once she realizes Im no longer living at the Cash family manor and Id like to tell her the entire truth about … well … this , I said , motioning between me and him , and then gesturing to the mansion .

He studied me for a moment ; I was holding my breath as his eyes scanned my face and then he put his fork down .

His face was shining with indifference , and it made a knot form in the pit of my stomach .

I worried about what he was going to say ; maybe I was looking way too into this and there was nothing to tell .

Either way , I still wanted her to know that I was living in the Landry mansion .

But what if he said no then I would have to continue lying to her .noveldrama

… My mind was spiraling , and I was very aware of that , but then he cleared his throat , bringing my attention to his face .

Is it that girl that works at the Carter resort ? He asked .

I was surprised he remembered her , and I felt a strange sense of jealousy rising in my chest , but I swallowed it down and nodded .

Yes , I told him .

Nan .

We grew up together and I usually tell her everything about my life and vice versa .

Shes my best friend .

He studied me a bit longer , neither of us saying anything and I started to squirm in my seat , feeling uncomfortable .

Then , after what felt like an eternity , he nodded .

Okay .

I raised my brows , watching as he grabbed his fork and continued to eat as if this conversation hadnt happened .

Okay ? I asked him , wanting clarification .

Hmm .

I can tell her ? I asked , not satisfied with his short response .

He glanced at me , the corner of his lip twitching again ; he was finding this amusing I realized .

He liked watching me squirm and giving me Chapter 0175 indifferent answers .

Yes .

My heart swelled with excitement .

I was going to call Nan first thing in the morning and invite her to lunch with me so we can talk properly .

I would have jumped across the table and kissed him , but just then , one of the kitchen aids walked in and started to clean some of the mess off the table .

I was expecting Gavin to spend the night with me , but he had to return to his Villa .

I couldnt blame him .

His children were there after all .

But that didnt stop him from rocking my world another time before he left .

I ended up falling asleep before he officially left , so I didnt get to say goodbye .

But when I woke up the next morning , I felt a sense of loneliness .

The bed where he was once lying was cold and I felt my chest becoming empty .

I sighed and got out of bed ; the sun was rising in the distance and a smile tugged at the corner of my lips as I watched the different rays of colors expand across the Silver Crescent pack .

I went info the bathroom and spent some time utilizing the giant whirlpool tub .

It was the best thing Ive ever experienced .

It was like a hot tub in the middle of the bathroom .

By the time I was finished , my entire body felt like Jello , and my mind was put at ease .

I had never felt more relaxed in my life .

I was surprised that breakfast was ready when I reached the kitchen .

Good morning , mam , the head chef said with a polite smile .

Breakfast is ready for you .

You can call me Judy , I assured him .

Then , you can call me Chester , he replied .

Chester looked to be in his late 30s and was honestly not bad to look at .

The female kitchen staff certainly made their interest known because they blushed every time he spoke to them .

I wondered if they were new because they didnt seem quite used to him yet .

Its nice to officially meet you , Chester , I said , grabbing a fork out of the silverware dish .

hapter 0176 I took a bite of the eggs and smiled at the deliciousness .

This is really good , I told him .

Its not hard to make eggs , he teased .

By the way , you still havent sent Harper your favorite food list .

You can always give it to me , so I know what to make for future meals .

I nodded .

Honestly , Im not picky .

You can literally make anything , and Ill eat it , I told him .

Itd make me feel better if I made your favorites though .

I shrugged .

Everything is my favorite , I assured him .

So , do you live here too? Yes , he answered .

Im here 24/7 , so if you ever need a late night snack … he trailed off suggestively, I knew he was joking because he had a twinkle of humor in his eyes .

Im sure everybody in this mansion knew about my relationship with Gavin by now .

I felt like it was quite obvious .

But seriously , ever need food or something late at night , Im your guy .

Ill keep that in mind , I said , taking another bite of the food .

All of the staff here live in the quarters on the main floor , he continued to explain .

I nodded .

And your quarters are decent ? I asked him ; the thought of them living anywhere remotely like the servants in the Cash manor made my stomach twist .

I hoped their living situation wasnt like that .

He nodded .

Better than my apartment before I got this job , he told me .

I love it here ; a lot of space , private bathroom , gorgeous views , I get to do what I love , and Im paid well .

We are all paid well .

Ive been told our rooms arent much different than the ones upstairs .

But obviously , some are bigger than others .

I nodded thoughtfully .

And Gavin treats you well ? I asked him , biting my lower lip .

Chester raised his brows at me , and he studied me for a moment before answering .

Well , yeah , he said with a shrug .

When hes here .

Hes not always here .

Its nice to have someone to cook for consistently .

However , a couple of times a week , he has me cooking for large gatherings or for his charity house , so I always have a job to do when Im not cooking for him personally .

But now I get to cook for you , and Id like to do that well .

So , please … send me a list of your favorites .

I laughed .

Will do , I assured him .

We fell into a comfortable conversation while I ate and I could tell from the small interaction I had with 1/2 Chapter 0176 him , along with the way he was with the kitchen aids and even Harper , he was a flirt .

But the harmless kind ; he was definitely friend material .

After breakfast , I insisted on cleaning , but Harper wouldnt let me .

The Alpha would have a fit if he knew we let you clean , she would tell me .

I sighed and eventually relented .noveldrama

Later in the morning , once it was a reasonable enough time , I called Nan and told her I needed to talk to her about something .

We agreed to meet at our favorite coffee house near the campus .

The moment she saw me , a big smile broke out on her face as she hugged me .

I feel like I havent seen you in ages , she murmured as she pulled away from me .

Its only been a couple of days , I chuckled .

Theyve been keeping you so busy , I couldnt even get through to your phone .

She was partly right , but mainly it was because the room I was in didnt have a place to plug in my phone , so it died a couple of days ago .

It only turned on again when I got to the mansion , and I was glad that Taylor had the sense to plug it in for me so it would be ready when I arrived .

Im sorry I havent called , I told her .

Theres a reason for that .

You look a lot better , she said fondly .

I nodded and bit my lower lip .

I feel a lot better , Nan , I told her .

We ordered our coffees and then took a seat in the corner of the room .

So , tell me whats been going on with you , she said as she took a sip of her expresso .

1 Okay … so , I dont want you to freak out , I told her , watching her warily from across the table .

She frowned and lifted her gaze to meet mine .

You are starting to freak me out , she told me , raising her brows .

I took a deep breath ; it was like ripping off a band aid .

I moved in with Gavin Landry .

Chapter 0177 Chapter 0177 Judys POV If she was holding her coffee cup when I blurted out the news , she most certainly would have dropped it .

Her jaw was practically on the ground as she stared at me , her eyes wide with alarm .

I hated that I kept this part of my life from her for so long , but now I was ready to tell her everything and I just hoped she wasnt mad at me for keeping it from her .

Im sorry , I dont think I heard what you said , she said , narrowing her eyes at me .

What ? I swallowed the lump in my throat and took a sip of my own coffee before putting the cup on the table .

No , you heard me correctly , I told her without meeting her startled gaze .

I moved in with Alpha Gavin Landry .

How … ? What … ? She stammered , unsure of what to say or what to ask .

I couldnt blame her ; Im sure this was the last thing she was expecting .

Okay , before I tell you , dont be mad at me for keeping this from you .

She watched me warily for a moment and then she sat back in her seat and folded her arms across her chest .

Have you been seeing him ? I flinched at her words because I could tell she was already getting upset and her question kind of took me off guard .

Its more complicated than that , I admitted .

Complicated how , Judy ? She asked me , losing her patience .

I swallowed heavily and took a deep breath .

I had been working in his villa for a few months now I admitted .

She raised her brows at me .

Im sorry , what ? That kid I was tutoring … its his kid , I told her quickly .

Ive been tutoring his son .

She raised her brows at my words and then shook her head .

Alpha Landry doesnt have a son , she told me .

He has a daughter , but of course , you know that already .

He does have a son , I assured her .

Hes just hidden from the limelight .

He goes to a private school , and I think only the pack knows of his existence .

Its been kept a secret .

Why would he keep his son a secret ? Nan asked with a frown , marring her lips .noveldrama

Hes only 7 , I said with a shrug .

Maybe he just doesnt want Matt to get caught up in pack drama .

Chapter 0177 Matt ? His son , I clarified .

She nodded thoughtfully and then took a sip of her coffee as she pondered that information .

And youve been tutoring him ? She asked after a brief pause .

I nodded .

Yes , I answered .

And thats how you got so close to Gavin ? I nodded again , sucking my bottom lip into my mouth as I thought about what to say next .

Then , our relationship kind of grew , I admitted , feeling my cheeks burning .

She raised her brows and leaned forward , narrowing her eyes at me .

What do you mean that it grew ? She asked , her voice hushed .

Well , we kind of ….

I trailed off as the fire in my face burned even brighter .

I didnt need to finish my sentence for her to know what I was going to say because she gasped and covered her mouth .

Oh , my Goddess ! She nearly shouted .

Thankfully , the coffee shop was practically empty .

I shushed her anyway though , not wanting her to draw the attention of any of the workers .

She lowered her voice and leaned forward , closer to me .

Are you dating him now ? I shook my head , but then I shrugged .

I think its just casual , I admitted .

I mean … technically he wanted to try this whole thing out .

He mainly just wanted his mother off his back because she kept trying to set him up with someone , he had no interest in .

Im kind of using him for the same reason … to get Ethan off my back .

I mean , Ethan doesnt know that we are seeing each other , but I think he suspects something is happening and Gavin wont let him near me , so theres a plus .

Holy shit , Nan breathed , her eyes wide with wonder Is it any good ? I raised my brows at her question .

Is what any good ? She rolled her eyes as she took another sip of her coffee .

Dont play stupid, Judy , she said, shaking her head .

Is the sex any good ? I was startled by her question and my cheeks burned even more as I averted my gaze from hers .

Its incredible , I murmured .

She shrieked , once again , gaining the attention of some of the workers , this time , I let out an awkward Haugh and shook my head at my friend .

Seriously , Nan .

You cant tell anyone about this , I warned her .

She held up her hands and for a Chapter 0177 moment , she looked offended .

Chapter 0178 I would never do that , Judy , she told me .

You can trust me .

I knew she was right and that I could trust her , so I relaxed in my seat .

It felt good to talk about this and get this whole thing out .

I was glad that I had Nan in my corner and that I could confide in her in this kind of thing now .

So , you moved in with him ? She asked , wiggling her brows .

Yeah , well , apparently he has another mansion in his pack , I told her .

She didnt look surprised , she only nodded thoughtfully .

Hes Gavin Landry , of course , he has multiple properties .

Thats probably not even his only other mansion , she told me .

He went over to the Cash family manor for dinner to get to know them better and he saw me being treated like a slave .

He was angry and ordered that I move into his mansion , I continued to explain .

She looked as if she was about to shriek again , but then she caught herself and cleared her throat .

I continued to tell her the story about how I wanted my mom to come too , but she insisted on staying but wanted me to go .

Nan listened thoughtfully as we continued to sip on our coffees .

So , he doesnt know about the financial problems ? She asked .

I shook my head , but then I thought about it and shrugged .

He knows I need the money and Im sure hes guessed that my family is struggling .

But I dont think he knows how bad it is .

He doesnt know my father is in jail , I told her .

I dont get it .

Why not tell him ? You know the Landry corporation funds most of the businesses around the wolf kingdom , right ? I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair .

My father is a proud man and didnt want to take any handouts from the Lycans .

Plus , years ago , his business plan was rejected when he first presented it to Alpha Gavin , so he never bothered to try again .

I murmured .

He wanted to be able to do this by himself and prove himself worthy .

He ended up making a deal with some loan sharks and took out way more money than the business was worth .

Obviously , the business did well , but not well enough to pay back the sharks .

Apparently , they charged a large amount of interest , so they require the money they loaned him , plus interest , which we dont have .

So , they charged him with theft .noveldrama

Why not tell Gavin about this ? She asked .

He could help you easily and Im sure he would if you were to ask .

I shook my head and bit my lip , chewing on it vigorously .

Im embarrassed , I admitted .

I dont want him to think badly about my family and plus , I dont think he remembers rejecting my fathers business plan .

Hell ask questions about why this business wasnt Lycan funded , and I dont really have answers for him .

You are just like your father , Nan said with a smile .

Too proud for your own good .

1/2 Chapter 0178 I nodded because she was right , and I knew it .

I cant wait to see this mansion .

Youll invite me over sometime , right ? She asked , raising her brows .

Of course , I promised .

Now that you know everything , you can come over whenever you want .

She clapped her hands together excitedly .

Okay , so onto some other exciting news , she said , leaning forward .

Did Gavin tell you about whats happening next week ? I frowned and then shook my head .

I havent talked with him for a long time these last couple of days , so I havent heard anything .

Whats going on ? I asked her .

He signed a contract to allow a film crew to come to his pack and film an entire movie , she said excitedly .

Working at the most famous resort in the werewolf territory , I wasnt surprised that Nan knew this information .

People , especially rich people , gossip , and Nan hears it all .

Thats actually really awesome , I told her , deep in thought .

I wondered what the movie was going to be about .

Thats not even the best part , she said in a hushed whisper .

The star of the movie is Skyla Sinclair , Judy ! My mouth nearly fell to the ground upon hearing her words .

What , what ? I asked , my eyes wide and my heart thumping against my chest .

She nodded eagerly .

Yes ! She shrieked .

Shes coming here next week !! Next week ? The most famously gorgeous movie star and model will be coming here ? To Gavins pack ?! Todays Bonus Offer GET IT NOW X Chapter 0179

Chapter 0179 Third Person POV Irene was in the kitchen grabbing a bite to eat when she heard giggling in the parlor .

She frowned and started towards the entryway .

Its been quiet around here for the past week , but that was mainly because Matt had been in the hospital .

Even when he returned though , the villa appeared quieter than usual .

She and Ethan had been spending a lot of time here because of that .

When she reached the parlor door , she heard a familiar voice , and her blood went completely cold .

No ….

It couldnt be .

She pushed the door open , and her entire body froze when she saw Judy seated on the couch and Matt beside her .

They were studying , but they were talking about something that made Matt burst into a fit of giggles .

Her father was seated in a nearby chair with a grin on his face as he watched the two of them .

It made Irenes stomach twist and turn as she glared at the scene in front of her .

Nobody noticed her entrance yet and she wasnt sure what to say or do .

Judy wasnt supposed to be back at this Villa .

She had made sure of it .

She pinned the blame for Matts allergic reaction on Judy .

How could her father be so careless and allow her to keep her job like this ? She thought she finally got rid of Judy , but she returned looking stronger than ever .

She clenched her fists at her side and glared at Judy , unblinking .

Judy eventually felt Irenes stare and lifted her gaze to meet hers ; her smile dropped into a concerned frown .

Oh , hey , Irene , Judy said , skeptically as she studied Irenes furious face .

This got the others attention as well ; Gavin looked up at his daughter and he also frowned .

Irene , he greeted , narrowing his eyes at her .

Everything okay ? Daddy , can I talk to you for a minute ? She asked through her teeth as she walked across the parlor and out the other door until she was in the hallway .

Gavin reluctantly followed after her , shutting the door behind him .

He folded his arms across his chest and watched as his daughter paced the hallway , her eyes fixed on the ground and her breathing heavily as she fought to maintain her temper .

Whats this about ? Gavin finally asked after what felt like a lifetime of silence .

How could you let that monster back into our home after what she had done ?? Irene finally asked , stopping her pacing to glare at her father .

Irene- She almost killed Matthew ! Does that mean nothing to you ?? Irene continued , cutting off Gavin before he could explain himself .

Irene , listen- No , Dad .

YOU listen ! She was careless with Matts life and it landed him in the hospital .

She cannot be Chapter 0179 trusted .

She needs to go ! I never want to see her here again !! Irene practically shouted .

Gavin sighed and ran his fingers through his hair as he took in his daughter .

I know youre upset , but would you just listen to me , he said calmly .

She finally looked up at him and he saw the moisture in her eyes .

He could tell that this was bigger than what she was letting on .

But he also knew she wouldnt talk to him about it ; she had to come to him willingly .

He couldnt force it .

How could you let her back in here , Dad ? She asked , folding her arms across her chest .

Judy didnt do anything wrong , he finally said , his eyes fixed on hers .

She widened her eyes and took a step back , her face going pale .

It was a strange reaction , Gavin thought to himself .

But he shook the thought out of his head .noveldrama

W … what do you mean ? She stammered .

I mean , she didnt do anything wrong , he repeated .

One of the maids confessed to the crime .

She wanted compensation for helping me save his life .

I banned her from the pack and turned her into a rogue .

Her mouth fell open as she stared at him .

A … a maid confessed ? She asked , her voice becoming small .

Irene had no idea how a maid could confess to such a crime when she knew for a fact that the maid had nothing to do with anything .

She didnt do this … Irene was the one who put the peanut butter in the sandwich .

She knew the kitchen camera was broken and there was no actual evidence against her or the maid … but somehow , the maid confessed to the crime .

Did the maid somehow know it was Irene , and she was trying to protect her ? Or maybe she was trying to protect Judy .

A pit of jealousy formed in the middle of Irenes stomach .

Why would a maid go to great lengths to protect Judy ? Was Judy really that much better than Irene ? Or maybe Judy blackmailed the maid into taking the fall so she could get her job back and return to seduce Ethan .

Chapter 0180 Anger filled Irene but she tried hard to keep her temper under control while she was in the presence of her father .

So , Judy did nothing wrong .

Therefore , she gets to keep her job .

I appreciate your concern , and Im glad you care for your brother , but lay off Judy , okay ? He asked her firmly , raising his brows .

Her cheeks burned with heat , but she nodded her head Okay , she murmured .

Im sorry .

He gave his daughter a small smile as he pulled her into his arms for a tight hug .

She sighed and hugged him back before he released her .

Are you going out with Ethan tonight ? She nodded and bit her lower lip .

She didnt want Ethan to come here knowing Judy was here .

He had been all over Irene this past week with Judy being gone , and now that she had returned , she worried that Ethan would revert back to his old ways and pine after her like a lost puppy .

Yes , she said .

Ill probably spend the night at his place .

Gavin nodded .

Just be safe , he warned .

Oh , by the way , the film crew will be here tomorrow .

They are going to be staying in his villa , so I need you to be on your best behavior .

Irene perked up immediately ; she completely forgot about the movie being filmed in their pack .

Skyla Sinclair will be here , right ? She asked .

She couldnt wait to meet the famous movie star and model .

Skyla was her role model , and she had been looking forward to this for months since it was first brought up .

Gavin nodded .

Yes , he answered .

Try not to scare her away .

Cant promise anything , Irene teased .

Gavin smirked , stifling a full smile , as he shook his head at his daughter .

He turned away and started back towards the parlor .

Irene watched as he disappeared through the door .

She walked towards the parlor as well and opened the door just a crack so she could peek into the room , watching Judy warily .noveldrama

She noticed that Judy visibly lit up when Gavin returned and even Gavin had a smile on his face when he looked at Judy .

He said something to her that Irene couldnt quite hear and it made both Judy and Matt laugh .

They looked like a typical family and it irked Irene .

She hated how comfortable and happy they all looked .

It was obvious to her that Judy had a thing for her father and it was even more obvious that the feeling was mutual , As Irene continued to watch their interactions , she started to think of a plan .

Skyla Sinclair would soon be arriving at the pack .

Chapter 0180 Perhaps it was time for things to get stirred up just a little .

A wide grin spread across Irenes face as she closed the Parlor door .

1 Judys POV The last time I wore something sexy to Gavins office , it didnt end well .

He rejected me and sent me away , telling me that I was better than this .

It was embarrassing and I vowed to never put myself in that position again .

But since then, I had sex with Gavin , and I was living in his mansion .

I felt like things were different between us .

With Skyla Sinclair coming to the pack later this evening , I wanted to remind Gavin that I was here to satisfy his needs .

I wanted to show him that he didnt need to stay with someone else , even if she was a famous and gorgeous actress and model .

I wanted to show him that I was spicy and that I could keep his interest , even if this thing was casual and we didnt have a conversation about what we were or what we were doing .

I wore a red lacy bra and panty set , but I put a trench coat over it to cover my body .

I did my hair and makeup , so I looked rather beautiful if I did say so myself .

As I stood outside of Gavins office building in the city , my heart hammered against my chest .

I took a deep breath and entered the building .

It was the same receptionist that was rude to me the last time that I was there .

When she looked up at me , she immediately rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest .

You again ? She murmured .

Im here to see Alpha Landry , I told her , trying not to sound as nervous as I felt .

Well , you cant , she muttered .

Im sorry , is he in a meeting ? I asked innocently .

No , but he doesnt want to see you , she muttered .

My eyes grew large .

What ? I asked .

She smirked and leaned back in her seat .

He specifically said he doesnt want Judy Montague to return to his office .

Any further questions ? Todays Bonus Offer

Chapter 0181 Judys POV He specifically said he doesnt want Judy Montague to return to his office .

Any further questions ? The receptionist said in a snarky tone .

My blood went cold from her words , and I stared at her startled .

Had Gavin really told the receptionist to not let me back at his office ? My heart hurt from the very thought , and I instinctively took a step back , feeling dejected .

Her smug look said it all .

She was telling the truth ; Gavin truly did tell her to say this to me .

You cant be that surprised , she said, rolling her icy blue eyes .

You were escorted out of this office last time you were here .

Obviously , he wouldnt want you back here .

I bit my lip and nodded ; I heard her words , but I was having trouble processing what she was saying I sucked in a sharp breath , not sure what more to say .

This plan was a bust and now I was even more embarrassed than I was when Gavin rejected me and then kicked me out .

I started to turn away to leave because it was pointless staying here any further , but then I heard my name from a short distance and my entire body froze .

Judy ? Could this get any worse ? Not only was I getting kicked out of the office building , but now Gavin was here to witness it and probably kick me out himself in front of this receptionist .

I sighed , knowing I couldnt avoid this any longer .

I slowly turned towards him and forced a smile in his direction .

Hello , Alpha , I murmured .

I was coming to see you , but it seems Im not allowed here .

So , Ill Who said you werent allowed here ? He asked .

I narrowed my eyes at him and then glanced at the receptionist who was red in the face and staring up at him .

You told me to tell her she wasnt allowed back here if she were to ever return , the receptionist reminded him .

He looked down at her , his lips turned into a deep frown as he stared at her .

That was then , he said through his teeth .

Things have changed since then and Im pretty sure I already ripped that reminder off your desk .

She glanced down at her notepad and her eyes widened when she didnt see the note she left for herself to keep me out of the office building Next time you dont call me first , youre fired , he growled , making her tremble in her seat .

Now it was her turn to look embarrassed , Y … yes , Alpha , she stammered , keeping her eyes fixed on the desk and avoiding my gaze entirely .

Without warning , Gavin grabbed my hand and pulled me along with him .

We walked in silence ; even when we were in the elevator , heading to his office , we remained silent .

Chapter 0181 We didnt talk until we reached his office floor and walked around the corner and to his desk .

He turned to face me , leaning his back against the desk and his eyes narrowed , a smirk playing on his lips .

So , what honor do I have for this visit ? He asked , watching me curiously .

My cheeks burned and I was suddenly questioning whether or not this was a good idea .

It wasnt a great start , but now that we were alone , I was nervous for a whole different reason .

I … uh … I stammered , shuffling nervously in my shoes .

He raised his brows as he took me in ; his eyes scanned my face and then dropped to the trench coat that I was wearing .

He couldnt contain the smile that twitched the corner of his lips and gave me a lopsided grin .

Well , this looks familiar , he teased .

Did you come for a part two ? My cheeks burned again , but his lighthearted voice gave me the confidence that I needed .

It reminded me that things were different now .

We were different .

I already got Gavin into bed , and I was living in his mansion .

I didnt think he was going to reject me this time around ; this time , I was going to get exactly what I wanted … except I wasnt going to ask for money in return .

Without speaking a single word , I undid the jacket , revealing the bra and panties I was wearing .

His eyes immediately darkened as he took in my appearance .noveldrama

I dropped the trench coat to the ground and took a step back for him to see the full picture ! I just wanted to pay you a visit , I told him in a sultry voice .

I can see that , he replied , his tone deep and sending a wave of warmth throughout my entire body .

Do you like what you see ? I boldly asked him .

He lifted his gaze to meet mine .

More than I could express , he admitted , his tone now sounding a bit strained .

い 25 Chapter 0183 Chapter 0182 I smirked at him as I stepped closer to him , closing the space between us .

Then , perhaps we should take advantage of this time together ? I suggested .

I wrapped my arms around him , pressing my body close to his .

I could feel the stiffness in his pants , and it turned me on ; I liked the effect that I had on him , and I wanted to know what other effects I had .

He surprised me when he wrapped his arms around me , keeping me against him as his lips covered mine .

At first , the kiss was tentative and sweet , but then it deepened as he shoved his tongue into my mouth .

I couldnt help the moan that escaped my lips as I took in his scent and everything he had to offer .

I was barely coherent when he brushed his papers and stuff off his desk to make room for me .

Everything scattered to the ground , but neither of us cared at this moment .

We would clean it up later , for now , we just needed to feel one another and be one once again .

He lifted me off the floor and placed me on his desk .

I wrapped my legs around his waist , keeping him close to me as he deepened the kiss .

His hands roamed across my body , causing goosebumps to form in their path .

I felt my bra loosen and fall around me and onto the desk , he brushed it aside , causing it to fall off the desk and onto the ground .

I chuckled as he nibbled on my bottom lip , making it nice and swollen .

He trailed his lips down the nape of my neck , nipping at the soft flesh as he tailed down my shoulders and across my chest until he reached my breasts .

I gasped when he teased my nipples with his lips and teeth , tugging at them and causing them to pebble in his mouth .

He fondled my breasts with his massive hands while he continued to suck and bite them , leaving small markings where his teeth were .

I couldnt help but moan his name , glad that we had the entire floor to ourselves and that there was no chance for anyone to hear us .

His fingers played with the fabrics of my panties , and I shimmed myself out of them , completely exposing myself to him .

His eyes darkened and he let out a growl as he devoured me on his desk .

I gasped and ran my fingers through his hair as he sucked and teased my clit .

I felt my climax approaching quickly and just before I exploded around him , I tensed and moaned his name , loving the taste of it on my tongue .

He continued to lap up all my juice until there was nothing left and then his lips were on mine once again .

I helped him out of his shirt , throwing it to the ground .

I ran my fingers up his incredible abs .

I couldnt believe that I was able to touch such a man .

He was the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen in my life , and I wasnt sure if I would be able to contain my need for him any longer .

I needed to feel him inside of me .

As if he could read my thoughts , he started to undo his pants and I eagerly helped him out of them , pulling off his boxers as well and completely exposing him to me .

I started off by stroking him gently , making him even harder and getting ready for me .

He was already incredibly hard , but I truthfully just wanted to feel him and touch him .

He didnt seem to complain though ; his eyes were closed , and he breathed with rigidness as he pressed his forehead against mine .

He liked how he felt in my hands , and I liked how he felt as well .

Just when he was about to lose all control and push himself into me , his phone started to ring , halting 1/2 hapter 0182 both of us .

He let out a low and aggravated growl .

There was a part of me that hoped he would just ignore it ; I mean we were both completely naked after all .

But the more logical part of me knew that I interrupted him during his workday , and he was a very busy man .

He couldnt just ignore his phone .

I sighed and released him ; he kissed me one last time , deeply and passionately , before reluctantly parting from me and grabbing his phone .

Yes ? he asked in an annoyed and slightly strained voice .

He paused for a moment as he listened to the other end of the phone .noveldrama

Shes here now ? He asked , and then he paused again before sighing and running his fingers through his hair .

Okay , Ill be there soon .

Then , perhaps we should take advantage of this time together ? I suggested .

I wrapped my arms around him , pressing my body close to his .

I could feel the stiffness in his pants , and it turned me on ; I liked the effect that I had on him , and I wanted to know what other effects I had .noveldrama

He surprised me when he wrapped his arms around me , keeping me against him as his lips covered mine .

At first , the kiss was tentative and sweet , but then it deepened as he shoved his tongue into my mouth .

I couldnt help the moan that escaped my lips as I took in his scent and everything he had to offer .

I was barely coherent when he brushed his papers and stuff off his desk to make room for me .

Everything scattered to the ground , but neither of us cared at this moment .

We would clean it up later , for now , we just needed to feel one another and be one once again .

He lifted me off the floor and placed me on his desk .

I wrapped my legs around his waist , keeping him close to me as he deepened the kiss .

His hands roamed across my body , causing goosebumps to form in their path .

I felt my bra loosen and fall around me and onto the desk , he brushed it aside , causing it to fall off the desk and onto the ground .

I chuckled as he nibbled on my bottom lip , making it nice and swollen .

He trailed his lips down the nape of my neck , nipping at the soft flesh as he tailed down my shoulders and across my chest until he reached my breasts .

I gasped when he teased my nipples with his lips and teeth , tugging at them and causing them to pebble in his mouth .

He fondled my breasts with his massive hands while he continued to suck and bite them , leaving small markings where his teeth were .

I couldnt help but moan his name , glad that we had the entire floor to ourselves and that there was no chance for anyone to hear us .

His fingers played with the fabrics of my panties , and I shimmed myself out of them , completely exposing myself to him .

His eyes darkened and he let out a growl as he devoured me on his desk .

I gasped and ran my fingers through his hair as he sucked and teased my clit .

I felt my climax approaching quickly and just before I exploded around him , I tensed and moaned his name , loving the taste of it on my tongue .

He continued to lap up all my juice until there was nothing left and then his lips were on mine once again .

I helped him out of his shirt , throwing it to the ground .

I ran my fingers up his incredible abs .

I couldnt believe that I was able to touch such a man .

He was the most gorgeous thing I had ever seen in my life , and I wasnt sure if I would be able to contain my need for him any longer .

I needed to feel him inside of me .

As if he could read my thoughts , he started to undo his pants and I eagerly helped him out of them , pulling off his boxers as well and completely exposing him to me .

I started off by stroking him gently , making him even harder and getting ready for me .

He was already incredibly hard , but I truthfully just wanted to feel him and touch him .

He didnt seem to complain though ; his eyes were closed , and he breathed with rigidness as he pressed his forehead against mine .

He liked how he felt in my hands , and I liked how he felt as well .

Just when he was about to lose all control and push himself into me , his phone started to ring , halting 1/2 hapter 0182 both of us .

He let out a low and aggravated growl .

There was a part of me that hoped he would just ignore it ; I mean we were both completely naked after all .

But the more logical part of me knew that I interrupted him during his workday , and he was a very busy man .

He couldnt just ignore his phone .

I sighed and released him ; he kissed me one last time , deeply and passionately , before reluctantly parting from me and grabbing his phone .

Yes ? he asked in an annoyed and slightly strained voice .

He paused for a moment as he listened to the other end of the phone .

Shes here now ? He asked , and then he paused again before sighing and running his fingers through his hair .

Okay , Ill be there soon .

hapter 0184 We really appreciate this , Alpha , Chanse said thoughtfully .

I nodded .

How about I take you and the crew out and I can show you around for the day ? I suggested .

Unless youre in a rush to get started , then Ill leave you be .

1 I wasnt planning on starting until tomorrow , so a tour would be great , Chanse said , glancing over at his crew who nodded eagerly .

I think we could all use the break.

Weve been so busy these last couple of days … an evening out sounds perfect .

I nodded .

Okay , then lets get going , I said , motioning for them to follow .

For the rest of the evening , we spent time walking around the pack , exploring everything the pack had to offer .

They were introduced to many of the packmates who expressed admiration for the crew .

We were stopped quite often so the packmates could take pictures with the stars , but mostly Skyla because she was the most famous of them all .

She was very kind and didnt mind taking pictures with each of my packmates ; she even signed some autographs .

She seemed to be feeding up the compliments and basking in the admiration , which didnt surprise me .

I took them out to eat in the city and Skyla made it a point to sit next to me so she could chat my ear off .

I wasnt stupid , I knew what she was doing .

I noticed that she kept staring at me and was batting her lashes at me , but if I were to be honest , I wasnt really interested in it .

I was only interested in this movie and that was it … Skyla was just another girl throwing herself at me and it was kind of a turn off .

My wolf also didnt enjoy her close proximity and that made it easier to keep my distance ; however , she was relentless .

By the end of the evening , I was exhausted and all I really wanted to do was go to my mansion and see Judy .

I wanted to finish where we left off in my office earlier .

I told Irene that I had some business up North tonight and that she needed to stay home and take care of Matt while I was gone .

I assured her I would be back in the morning , and she agreed to remain home , not questioning what this business was .

After I dropped the crew off at the Villa , I said my goodbyes to them , told them I would see them in the morning , and then I left , very aware that Skyla was watching me until I was completely gone from her sight .

It was going to be a long couple of weeks .

Third Person POV I know that look , Kylie said as she folded her arms across her chest , watching as Gavin disappeared in his car down the street .

Skyla stood at the doorway , her eyes slowly blinking and her heart hammering in her chest .

She had never seen anyone that good looking in all the years shes been an actress and a model .

She heard stories about Gavin Landry , but she never thought that he would be that good- Chapter 0184 looking .

You have a thing for the Alpha , Kylie teased Out of all the actresses and actors in this production , Skyla was closest to Kylie .

They were practically best friends .

Well , the closest things to best friends that this industry would allow .

How could I not ? Skyla said as she sighed heavily .

Hes so handsome .

A guy like that is probably not single , Kylie said , shaking her head .

I heard that his fated mate died years ago , leaving him with their daughter .

His daughter seemed a little too high energy for me … but I could look past that for Gavin Landry .

We arent here to scope out for guys , Skyla .

We are here to work on this movie , Kylie reminded her .

Chanse worked hard on this film and things have to go perfectly .

Kylie was Chanses sister , and she wanted things to go well for her brother .

And things will go perfectly , Skyla said , turning to her coworker and friend .

But why cant I do both ? Do both ? Kylie asked , her brows raised .

Skyla nodded with a grin spread across her lips .

Why cant I do my job … and scope for guys ? She asked .

Now that I have my eyes set on Gavin Landry , I dont think I can let him go that easily .

I want him , Kylie … and I always get what I want .

With that , she turned and went back inside .noveldrama

Kylie shook her head at her friend but didnt argue as she followed her inside .

Meanwhile , neither of the girls noticed Irene tucked away in the corner , listening to the entire conversation , a wide smile spreading across her face .

Operation : Get Judy Away from Her Father was a go .

This was going to be a lot easier than she thought .

Chapter 0185 Judys POV Tonight was the first night that Gavin had actually stayed the night with me .

I have been here for a few days , and usually after our time together , he leaves after I fall asleep .

I wasnt expecting to wake up and find him still in my room , sleeping in my bed with his shirt off .

It seems he put his pants back on though .

My heart skipped a beat at the sight of him .

I wasnt displeased that he was still by my side , but a little confused .

I ran my fingers down his back , feeling the warmth spread across my body at the feel of him .

I wanted to wrap myself back in his arms and stay like that all day , but I knew with the movie industry filming in his pack , he was going to be incredibly busy He stirred in his sleep and when his eyes opened , I walked with bated breath for him to jump out of bed and run for the hills .

I thought that maybe he didnt mean to fall asleep in my bed and that he would regret it .

But when a small smile lit up his face , my heart started to race heavily in my chest .

Good morning , he said , rolling onto his back , and showcasing his incredible abs .

My mouth went dry at the sight of him , and I swallowed the lump in my throat .

Good morning , I replied .

I didnt expect you to still be here this morning .

He stretched before he sat up , running his fingers through his disheveled hair .

It should be illegal to look that good .

I was tired , he confessed .

Yesterday was a lot .

Did you meet Skyla ? I asked him , biting my lower lip .

I didnt love the fact that he was hanging out with a supermodel actress all day , but I knew it wasnt something I could tell him , so I kept biting my lower lip and staring down at my hands .

Yeah , he murmured .

Shes interesting .

I have to oversee their filming today .

I nodded .

Ill be tutoring Matt later , so if you want to meet up … I suggested , my cheeks burning .

He turned so he could look at me , his eyes dark with lust and it made my heart skip a beat again .

Ill keep that in mind , he replied in a sultry tone .

But Ill be really busy today , so Im not sure if Ill be able to stop by later .

I nodded , already guessing that .

He slipped out of bed and grabbed his pants off the ground .

Im going to hop in the shower , he told me as he made his way to the bathroom .

I watched him disappear through the door and I let out the breath I hadnt known I was holding .

After the shower turned on , I got out of bed and quickly threw some clothes on before making my way down the stairs and into the kitchen .

Harper was in the kitchen with a couple of the kitchen aids and they seemed to be in at deep conversation about something .

But it stopped when they turned , and they saw me walking towards them .

Good morning , Harper said with a polite smile .

Are you hungry ? Chester is about to cook some 1/2 Chapter 0165 breakfast .

I nodded .

Im starving , I admitted .noveldrama

Can he make extra ? Gavin is here too .

Harper raised her brows , and I could tell she wanted to ask some questions , but she chose not to and only nodded .

Of course , she replied .

Moments later , Chester walked into the kitchen with some ingredients in hand and when he saw me , he broke out into a large grin .

Do you like waffles ? He asked as he placed the stuff on the counter .

I nodded .

I love waffles , I told him .

Perfect , he said .

Waffles for the beautiful Judy , coming right up .

I blushed at his compliment ; when he glanced at the Kitchen aids who were eye googling him , he winked at them, making their knees practically weak .

Chapter 0186 Harper rolled her eyes .

Dont you ladies have anything better to do ? She asked .

Folding her arms across her chest and narrowing her eyes .

Chester grinned .

Now Harper , no need to be jealous , he said , nudging her shoulder .

You know you are still my favorite .

Im not jealous , she retorted in a growl as she turned to face him .

But flirting while at work has always been frowned upon .

Thats not what you were saying the other night , he said in a soft and breathy whisper , though the rest of us could hear him clearly .

My eyes grew wide as I watched Harpers face turn different shades of pink and red .

Had they slept together the other night ? I wondered what the lure was here … something certainly interesting was happening in front of my eyes and I was way too curious about it .

We werent working , she said through her teeth .

Ineed to run to the store .

Ill be back .

She turned on her heel and hurried out of the kitchen looking mortified .

I turned to Chester who was laughing and shaking his head .

She embarrasses so easily .

I dont get why .

It was only sex , he said , still shaking his head .

It wasnt that big of a deal .

I folded my arms across my chest and watched as he maneuvered his way around the kitchen , cooking in a delicate fashion .

Maybe to you , it wasnt a big deal , I told him .

But did you ever think that maybe it was a big deal to her ? He paused for a moment to look at me over his shoulders .

Its not my fault she went back on her word , he said , shrugging .

We said no strings attached .

We were only scratching each others itch .

Nothing more to it .

Is that the kind of guy you are ? I asked him , raising my brows .

The guy who has mindless sex that doesnt mean anything ? He corked an eyebrow up at me and put his hands on the counter , leaning so close to me that his lips would be on mine if he were to move another inch .

Want to find out ? He asked , his voice dropping sultry .

Just as I was about to lean back and away from him , the door slammed shut , making Chester step away from me by instinct .

Chester , I didnt hire you to flirt and talk .

I hired you to cook , Gavins voice boomed across the kitchen , sending a chill down my spine .

Chester had amusement in his eyes , but he didnt argue with his boss .

Hed be stupid to do so .

Yes , Alpha , Chester said as he resumed cooking .

I chuckled as Chester quickly started to make our breakfast and Gavin sat beside me .

Hes harmless , I murmured .

Gavin rolled his eyes .

Hes a guy and he only has one thing on his mind .

Be careful around him , he murmured in return .

I raised my brows .

Do you only have one thing on your mind too ? I asked him .

He shot me a look and it made the smile drop from my face .

I couldnt really read the expression on his face , and it made my stomach twist .

He was contemplating something as he studied my What exactly do you think this is ? He suddenly asked .

Im sorry , what ? I asked in return .

face .

What do you think this is ? He repeated , but this time he motioned between the two of us .

My cheeks burned at the question , and I had to look away from him ; I stared down at the counter .

He spoke low enough that others in the kitchen hadnt heard , or if they had , they were pretending they hadnt .

We are just having fun , I told him after a beat of silence .

Right ? We are helping each other out and scratching an itch at the same time .

He nodded thoughtfully .

Right , he told me .noveldrama

So , I guess that answers your question .

Chapter 0187 I chewed the inside of my cheek and then nodded .

I guess it did answer my question ; this was only sex , and he only had that one thing on his mind when he suggested this little arrangement .

I knew it wasnt anything more than that , but still , it made my stomach hurt a little .

There was still a part of me that hoped maybe he did feel something more for me and that this wasnt just sex .

But I was only fooling myself .

There you go , Beautiful , Chester said , bringing me out of my thoughts as he slid a plate of food in my direction .

Coffee , Gavin ordered , his nostrils flaring .

Chester nodded as he put a plate in front of him and then went to grab a cup of coffee .

Gavins eyes followed Chester the entire time , and I could feel the tension in the room , though I wasnt sure why there was so much of it .

Gavin had no right to act like this ; it was strange , to say the least .

When Chester slid two mugs in front of us and filled them to the top with coffee , Gavin dismissed him for the morning .

Even Chester had enough sense in him not to argue .

We ate in silence and once we finished , the kitchen aids were the ones who cleaned .

Ill take you to school , he told me as he grabbed his coat off the hook .

I can have Leroy take me , I told him ..

Just come on , he murmured , grabbing my arm and gulling me away from the kitchen .

Careful Alpha Landry , I said teasingly .

One might think you actually like me if you keep acting possessively .

He didnt reply , he just shook his head .

I chuckled as I sat in the car .

We talked for a little while as we and drove to my school , but for the most part , it was fairly quiet .

He told me Leroy would pick me up bring me to the villa later .

Now that Nan knows just about everything , I was able to confide in her a little about it this morning before class .

I told her how confusing it was for me to be spending this time with Gavin , not knowing exactly where I stood .

One minute he was acting cold like this was no big deal , and the next he was being possessive and not wanting other men to flirt or even look at me .

I didnt understand him .

I cant believe you are actually sleeping with him , Nan chuckled , shaking her head .

Maybe hes just as confused .

I pondered that for a while during the day and decided to just let it go for right now .

True to his words , Leroy picked me up and brought me to the villa .

I wasnt expecting a run in with Irene today , but she stood in front of me with her arms folded across her chest, blocking my way into the parlor where I typically met Matt for our tutoring sessions .

You cant go in there today , she said .

My father is busy with the film crew Oh , I wasnt aware they were using the parlor today , I said , glancing at the time .

Is Matt elsewhere ? Maybe in his room ? She murmured .

She glanced over her shoulder and pushed the door open slightly so I could see into the room .

Gavin sat on the couch with none other than Skyla Singlaire seated on his right .

She was just as beautiful in person as she was in magazines and on TV .

Her hands were on his arm , and she was giggling at something that was said by someone in the room .

The sight of them together , so close , made my blood go cold .noveldrama

Dont they make such a beautiful couple ?

Chapter 0188 Third Person POV Irene knew exactly what she was doing .

The look on Judys face was exactly what she was going for .

She wanted Judy to see Skyla with her father and to think that Skyla was a better match .

Judy was no match when it came to Skyla , and everybody knew it .noveldrama

Including Skyla .

Just that morning they had a whole conversation about it .

Irene intercepted Skyla before she joined the others for their morning meeting .

Skyla frowned when she saw Irene because her last encounter with her hadnt been great .

In fact , Irene had made a fool out of herself trying to impress the actress .

But Irene knew something about Skyla now , and she was going to use that to her advantage .

Im late for the meeting , Skyla told Irene , holding up her hand and stopping what she had to say .

Cant this wait until later ? She was used to being bombarded by fans , and in her eyes , Irène wasnt any different .

I think you are going to want to speak with me now , Irene said , folding her arms across her chest .

Skyla froze and looked at the girl ; something about he made Skyla interested and she raised her brows Okay , you have my attention , she said curiously .

For now , she made sure to add .

Irene grinned and leaned against the wall ; her eyes fixed on the beautiful Skyla .

She would make the perfect stepmother ; not only was she age appropriate , but she was also gorgeous … not to mention she wasnt Judy and thats all that Irene cared about .

She wanted Judy away from her life .

In her head , Judy wasnt only using Gavin to get close to Ethan .

Irene wanted her as far away from their lives as possible and if that meant setting her father up with another woman , then thats exactly what she was going to do .

I overheard you speaking about my father last night , Irene went on to say .

I know you have a thing for him .

And why is that any of your business ? Skyla asked .

Well , for starters , if things work out for you , youd be my stepmother .

So , who my father sees , is kind of my business by default , Irene murmured .

Even Skyla had to admit , she had a point , though she didnt think that far ahead .

She only wanted to test the waters with Gavin to see if there was any potential in that .

Being a stepmother was not something she was signing up for .

But she supposed it was the price she was going to have to pay .

Im assuming you have an issue with me pursuing your father ? Skyla asked .

Not at all , Irene surprised her by saying without hesitation .

Dont get me wrong … I think it would be a little weird to call you stepmom … but my fathers happiness is all that matters to me and if you make .

him happy , then Im happy .

Matt and I have been wanting our father to remarry for some time now .

Matt ? My brother , she answered .

Of course , Irene knew that Matt was real brother , but he was basically her brother .

For a moment , she forgot that not everybody knew about Matt .

Even while the film Chapter 015-0 crew were living in their villa , Matt mainly kept to himself .

The crew was so busy , they wouldnt even notice if he had been around or not .

I wasnt aware Gavin had another child , Skyla murtured , displeased by this information , but it wasnt a deal breaker .

Skyla shook the thought out of her mind and narrowed her eyes at Irene .

Why are you even telling me this ? If you dont care that limpursuing him, then why are we having this conversation ? Because I needed to warn you , Irene told her .

I have reason to believe that my father is involved with someone .

Or at least hes interested in her … Skylas mood soured almost immediately .

Why do you believe that ? She asked through her teeth .

Because of the way he looks at her and vice versa .

They are always whispering and secretive … not to mention hes been out of the house most nights when shes not here … but hes always here when she is here , Irene explained .

Hes been trying to hide it , but Im observant and I notice everything And who is this woman ? Skyla asked , trying hard to contain her temper .

Her name is Judy , Irene told her , rolling her eyes at the very name .

Shes Matts tutor .

Irene didnt like this side of herself ; she didnt like being bitter and two faced … that wasnt how her father had raised her .

But she couldnt help herself .

Her jealousy over Judy and the fact that she had lied to Irene , keeping her relationship with Ethan a secret while pretending to be Irenes friend , made Irene act out of pocket .

She felt she had no other choice but to betray her in return .

Chapter 0189 If Judy wanted to play games , then frene could play ten times better .

And what does this Judy have that I dont ? Skyla asked ; she had noticed that Gavin barely spared her a second glance and ignored her subtle advances .

Now she knew the reasoning behind that … it was because of Judy .

Nothing .

Irene murmured .

Judy is my age … shes too young for him .

My father deserves a real woman .

Not to mention you are way prettier .

Skyla smiled at that thought .

That was perfect ; that meant she still had a fighting chance .

She wasnt going to let this Judy girl win Gavins heart .

Skyla , we are waiting for you ! Chanse called to her from the parlor .

I need to be going , Skyla told Irene .

But thank you for this helpful information .

Im going to make sure your father chooses the right woman .

Irene smiled , her plan in motion .

Thats all I ask , she said innocently .

Ill do my part and maybe try and get Judy to walk away as well .

Skyla nodded ; she pegged Irene all wrong .

She thought Irene was a spoiled little princess who could do no wrong and had no evil bone in her body .

Maybe she was a spoiled little princess … but she was no saint .

If things worked out with Skyla and Gavin , she might enjoy being a stepmother to this girl .

She said a hasty goodbye before she retreated and went to the Parlor , pleased to see Gavin already there , She used that opportunity to sit beside him and make her move .

Meanwhile , Irene waited outside the parlor door , knowing that Judy would be here soon .

Her father told her to let Judy know that the tutoring session would be moved to a new location for today because of their last minute meeting .

He was busy and wasnt able to text her himself , so he asked Irene to do it for him .

She told him she would , but she didnt .

She wanted Judy to come to the parlor and see Skyla with her father .

She wanted her to see what a good couple they made .

Telling from the paling expression on Judys face , her plan had worked wonderfully .

Now she had it in her head that Gavin was moving on with someone much better than her and it wouldnt be long before she left .

She didnt want to break her fathers heart , but she knew Skyla could put the pieces back together .

Plus , Gavin was the strongest man that she knew … he wouldnt let a simple fling weaken him .

Thats all Judy was … a fling .

I overheard Skyla talking last night , Irene went on to tell Judy who appeared frozen as she stared at Skyla and Gavin communicating .

Shes very interested in my father .

Im already starting to think of her as a stepmother .

I see … Judy said in a breathy whisper .

She looked utterly crushed and , in a way , it kind of surprised Irene .

She thought that Judy was only using Gavin to get close to Ethan and that she wouldnt be as hurt as she was .

But seeing the many rays of emotions crossing her face , gave Irene some pause .

Then , she shook the thought out of her head … It Chapter 0189 was only an act .

She had been acting since the moment they met , and she was good at it .

There was no way Judy was actually hurt over seeing Gavin with another woman .

She was only upset that her plan to get close to Ethan was failing and now she was going to have to come up with a new plan that didnt involve Irenes father .

Irene was determined to expose all her plans though ; she wasnt going to let Judy win .

Im sorry … Judy said , stepping away from the parlor I think Im not feeling well .

Can you apologize to Matt for me and tell him that our session will be moved to tomorrow .

Irene gave her a fake concerned frown .

Of course , she said with fake sweetness .

Is everything okay ? You are looking pale .

Judy nodded numbly and pulled her eyes away from the parlor door to look at Irene .

She froze when she saw the tears in Judys eyes .

She was trying hard to hide them , but they were clear as day .

Judy was hurt and upset … , but that didnt make any sense .

Why be upset over something like this when she didnt truly want Gavin in the first place ? It was Ethan she wanted … Yes , Judy said , turning her face away .

It was good to see you , Irene .

With that , Judy left without another word , leaving Irene confused .noveldrama

I hadnt been able to speak with her since this morning due to being so busy today , but I told Irene to text her and let her know that the tutoring session was moved to a new location , then I decided to just cancel it for the day because the film crew needed the space for their meeting , and they wanted to examine the training grounds for the movie .

I thought Leroy would have taken her home right after school , so I was surprised when I picked up her scent .

I was about to go check and see if she was here , but Chanse was talking my ear off the entire meeting , and it made it difficult to leave .

Not to mention Skyla was clinging to my arm like she had a right to touch me .

I kept shimmying my arm away from her grasp , hoping she would get the hint , but the more I resisted her , the more determined she got .

My wolf didnt particularly like her touch , and he was snarling in my head the entire time she sat beside me .

I had to block him out before he lost control and did something we would both regret .

As soon as the meeting ended , several long hours later , I was the first to leave the room .

I wanted to call Judy .

and see if she was at the villa .

But just as I reached into my pocket to grab my phone , I heard my name from behind me .

Alpha Gavin , Chanse called after me before I got too far away .

I sighed , stifling a groan , as I turned to face the director .

Yes ? I asked , trying to compose my annoyance .

I was thinking , how about you take Skyla to dinner tonight ? She could use a break and some time away from the rest of us , he told me .

I narrowed my eyes at him .

And why would I do that ? I asked him .

Look , Im worried about her .

Shes lost a lot of weight and isnt eating like she used to .

I know she cares about her body because shes a model and an icon … but I still want her to be healthy .

I wouldnt want that for my sister , Kylie , and I dont want that for Skyla .

She seems to like you , and I think it would do her some good to get out for a little while and take a break .

Im sure you can get her to eat a proper meal and take care of herself a little better .

I ran my fingers through my hair , not caring that I was messing it up .

I kind of have something I need to do- I started to say .

Please , Alpha .

I know Im asking a lot , but shes fragile and I dont want to see her hurt herself , Chanse pleaded .

She looks up to you … she always has .

Im sure you can help her .noveldrama

I sighed ; I couldnt exactly say no to that , especially because I needed to live by example , being a Lycan Chairman and all .

Okay , yeah , Ill take her to dinner , I murmured .

Chanse looked pleased and smiled at my answer .

Chapter 8190 Excellent , he said , clapping his hands together .

Illet her know .

Thank you , Alpha .

He bowed respectfully before retreating to the parlor to tell Skyla the news .

I sighed and glanced at the time ; it looked like I wasnt going to be able to go to the mansion tonight .

I grabbed my phone and brought up Judys contact .

After I pushed the call button , I pressed the phone to my cheek and waited for an answer that never came I frowned and glanced at the screen , hanging up before it made me leave a message .

I decided to text her instead .

Me : Hey , sorry , I wont be able to come over tonight .

But Ill try and swing by tomorrow .

Hope you good day .

had a I reread the message , not fully satisfied with it , but it do .

I pressed send and waited a few minutes for her to reply .

She only sent me a thumbs up emoji .

I furrowed my brows .

Was she upset with me about something ? Oh , hi Daddy , Irene said as she walked down the stairs .

Is everything okay ? Yeah , I murmured , my eyes still fixed on my phone I shook the thought of Judy being mad out of my head and looked up at my daughter who was still descending the stairs .

Did you see Judy earlier today ? She frowned at my question and bit her lower lip .

Yeah , she came here , she said softly .

She wasnt feeling good , so she left .

My frown deepened ; she was fine this morning .

What happened so suddenly that she had to leave due to illness ? I thought I told you to tell her the tutoring session was canceled ? I reminded her .

Chapter 0191 Oh , sorry , Dad .

I thought you said that session was only moved , she murmured .

I told her the session had been moved .

But when she got here , she said she wasnt feeling well and then left .

Thats all I know … Something wasnt sitting right in the pit of my stomach , but Irene had no reason to lie to me , so I nodded .

Okay , I murmured .

Thanks .

Im having dinner with Skyla tonight , so I wont be home till later.

Sure , Dad , Irene said , her eyes lighting up .

Have fun ! I walked past her and up the stairs so I could get dressed for my dinner .

Within the hour , we were ready to go .

Skyla changed into a dazzling red dress that hugged her thin body perfectly and amplified her breasts .

I knew she was doing it on purpose , but it rubbed me the wrong way .

I texted Judy again before I left and told her that I hoped she felt better and to call if she needed anything .

I didnt mind stopping by with whatever she might need … it went unanswered though which made me worry even more .

I shouldnt be worried about her like this … it wasnt in my nature .

Yet , I couldnt seem to get her out of my head , even while I was at dinner with Skyla .

Alpha Gavin , you seem distracted , Skyla said , staring at me from across the table .

She picked up her wine and took a sip .

Is everything okay ? I murmured as I took a sip of my own wine .

I just have a lot on my mind .

Im very busy lately .

I can understand that , Skyla said , batting her lashes Ive been super busy too .

Its nice to get out though and get away from it all .

Thank you for taking me to this lovely restaurant .

Its perfect and just what I needed .

Im sure you needed to get out too , being a busy Lycan and all .

I nodded .

It is nice to not be doing any work right now , I lied .

In truth , this was more work than my actual work .

But I couldnt say that to her , so I decided on a lie .

She seemed to have bought it because she smiled and relaxed in her seat .

Im so glad to hear you say that , she said softly , reaching over the table and touching my arm gently .

Because Im hoping we can spend more time together .

I pulled my arm away subtly and leaned back in my seat , taking another sip of wine .

Its not often that I have this free time , I told her .

Im not sure it would be possible .

Im busy too , she confessed .

But Ill make time for you .

Im really enjoying myself and I think you are enjoying yourself too .

We could have a little fun and get to know each other even better .noveldrama

Two busy souls , finding comfort in one another .

Before I could reply , the waiter returned with our meals .

We didnt finish the conversation ; we ate in silence .

I hoped she had forgotten about the conversation , but as we left the restaurant , she reached over and grabbed a hold of my hand .

I dont want the evening to end , she said in a hushed tone as she stepped closer to me , her breasts .

pressing against my arm .

How about we take a walk under the stars and talk about life ? Its been a long time since Ive been on a date and- I stepped away from her , forcing her arms to drop to her sides and off my body .

This wasnt a date , Skyla , I told her , a little more harshly than I anticipated .

Im sorry if you got the wrong idea but Of course not , but I was hoping that maybe this could have turned into one , Skyla said quickly .

Im not stupid , Gavin .

I knew this wasnt a date when we started , but I also know that theres a connection between us .

This was merely a casual outing at best , 1 told her , my frown deepening She opened her mouth to reply , but a flash of light stopped her .

She turned to see a couple of men with cameras pointed at her .

Skyla Sinclaire ? Are you on a date with Gavin Landry ? Skyla who are you wearing ? Your dress is lovely ! Skyla whats your relationship with Alpha Landry ? Are you a couple ? Or are you just friends ? Skyla was momentarily stunned , as was 1.

I thought she would have told them that this was nothing more than a casual outing as we had just discussed , so was shocked when she stepped closer to me , wrapping her arms around my neck .

She smiled at the camera , winked , and then she kissed me !

Chapter 0192 Gavins POV I immediately stepped away from her and wiped my mouth clean of her saliva .noveldrama

What the actual fuck just happened ? Skylas face turned beat red at the sight of my obvious rejection of her advances .

I turned my icy gaze to the paparazzi who noticed my fiery energy immediately and slowly lowered their cameras .

Leave before I rip your throats out of your necks , I said through my teeth , unleashing a bit of my wolf for extra strength .

I knew that his eyes were shining through mine and turning my gaze glowing yellow .

The paparazzi started to shake in their shoes as they murmured their apologies and quickly dispersed from the scene .

I was still fuming long after they had left ; I was unable to move .

I mindlinked Beta Taylor and told him to pick us up .

I planned to just drop her off at the villa and then return to the mansion so I could see if Judy was okay .

I felt Skylas hand on my back after what felt like a long and awkward silence .

I immediately tensed , my wolf growling and snapped in my mind and I held him back before he hurt her .

Dont touch me , I said through my teeth and stepped away from her .

Gavin- Its Alpha , I snapped , turning my fiery gaze on her and flaring my nostrils as anger surged through ine .

You crossed a line tonight , Skyla .

You shouldnt have done that ! I … Im sorry , she murmured .

I just wanted to get them off my back .

They wouldnt stop until we gave them an answer they wanted .

I seemed to have stopped them perfectly fine without lying to them , I seethed .

You think that stopped them ? Skyla laughed , shaking her head .

They arent through with us just yet We are done here , I said just as Taylor pulled up in the car .

Get in the car and speak nothing about this to anyone .

She stared at me for a brief moment and then she smiled sweetly .

Of course , she said , brushing past me .

I wont have to speak about this to anyone .

Theyll already be talking about it by tomorrow .

I had no idea what she was talking about , but I decided to ignore her .

I sat in the front seat with Taylor while Skyla sat in the back seat .

The further I was from her , the better it would be .

My only thought at the moment was to get to Judy .

Judys POV Maybe it doesnt mean anything .

Nan told me on the phone .

I curled up in bed , tears staining my cheeks .

Why was I acting like this ? I dont even know the full story yet I had no reason to act like I lost everything … I mean , Chester flirted with me and that doesnt mean Im about to screw his brains out .

Chapter 0192 Maybe its the same thing for Gavin and Skyla … Then why does it feel like my heart had been ripped our of my chest and stomped on ? Why is my wolf in despair as if she had lost someone as well ? These feelings were confusing , and I wasnt really sure what to do about them .

I dont know , I murmured .

Im so tired and seeing them together earlier … it hurt , Nan .

Why would Irene show you that ? Nan asked bitterly , She knew you had a thing for him , didnt she ? I dont know if she did or didnt … but I thought she at least suspected , I said softly .

More tears burned in my eyes , but I blinked them away , Shes been acting strangely lately .

Im not sure whats wrong with her , but I dont think she really wants to be my friend anymore .

Good , Nan told me , You shouldnt be friends with your exs mistress anyway .

She didnt know she was a mistress .

I cant blame her for what Ethan had done .

We are both victims .

The only difference is , I know Im a victim and Irene doesnt .

I feel sorry for her … I want to continue being her friend , but shes been avoiding me and acting strangely .

Dont stress too much about her ; I dont think shes worth it .

If Gavin truly likes you , hes not going to do anything with this girl .

Trust me , she told me gently .

Thats the problem , Nan , I whispered .; I dont know if he does truly like me , or if this is just sex .

There was silence on the other end for a moment .

Maybe you should be talking to him about it ? She suggested .

You seem to have a lot of confusion , and it should be cleared up if you continue to spend time with him and live in his mansion , Nan told me .

I was about to reply , but then the door of the room opened , and Gavin stood at the entryway .

It was late in the evening and my heart started to beat fast at the sight of him .

He looked so tired .

I wasnt expecting to see him tonight and I was borderline , mortified that he was now seeing me with my face all blotchy and my eyes filled with tears .

I quickly tried to hide my face and wipe the tears away before they became obvious to him .

I Nan , Ill talk to you tomorrow , I told her quickly , my voice dropping to a whisper.

Did he just walk in ? She asked curiously .

She knew me well .

Chapter 0193 Yes , I whispered hoarsely .

Good luck and remember , take a deep breath and dont jump to conclusions .

Let him explain first before you go off .

Update me on everything tomorrow I will , I assured her and then I hung up the phone .noveldrama

I put the phone on the nightstand and plugged it into the charger before turning to look at him .

He still remained at the doorway , studying me with a frown .

Irene said you were unwell , he told me .

You were fine this morning ! I nodded and wiped my checks again , hoping he didnt notice how blotchy my face was and the tears that were still in my eyes .

I hated how weak I was in front of him , but I couldnt help myself .

Yeah , I was just a little under the weather , I lied .

I think I might have eaten something bad .

Was it whatever Chester made you ? He asked through his teeth .

Ill fire him and- No ! I said quickly .

Dont fire him ; he didnt do anything .

It was something I ate at school .

Nothing more .

He looked almost disappointed ; I knew he kind of wanted to fire Chester because he rubbed Gavin the wrong way , but I wasnt going to let him .

I liked Chester ; he was funny , and he made being here less lonely .

Between him and Harper , I felt like I belonged around here .

At least I did until I spotted Skyla and Gavin together .

That sick feeling returned to my belly and stared down at my lap , willing my tears away before they slipped down my cheeks .

How was your date ? I murmured , unable to hide the bitterness in my tone .

It wasnt a date , he said immediately .

It was a casual dinner .

Chanse thought it would be good if I took her to dinner and- his voice trailed off .

Wait , didnt say anything about it in the text .

How did you know ? 1 bit my lip as my cheeks burned with embarrassment had nothing to be embarrassed about though ; I didnt ask Irene to send me a photo of Gavin and Skyla leaving .

She captioned it , My father going on his first real date in years ! Dont they look beautiful together ? I felt sick to my stomach , and I have been crying ever since .

I hated the effect it had on me , but I couldnt help myself .

They did look great together ; Skyla in her shimmering red dress , pressed herself up against Gavin who was dressed in a nice suit .

He was dressed in something more casual now and I wondered if Skyla helped him take off his suit .

Irene sent me a picture , I admitted .

She wanted me to see how lovely the two of you ! were together .

I looked up at him and saw that his eyes were dark with rage .

I shuddered at the sight of him and swallowed the lump in my throat .

Ill have a conversation with her about that , he muttered .

But it wasnt a date .

I nodded , wanting to believe him .

1/2 Chapter oras He stepped closer to the bed .

Are you still feeling sick ? He asked .

I nodded ; I was feeling sick , but not because I ate something bad .

Ill get you some tea then , he said ; before I could protest , he was already out of the room .

I sighed and leaned my head against my pillow , feeling frustrated and hurt all at the same time .

Gavin returned a little later with a mug of tea , made exactly how I liked it .

I was surprised that he remembered such details about me .

I thanked him and sipped the tea silently , with him watching me .

We didnt talk for the rest of the night ; I wasnt even expecting him to stay the night .

But he did .

He slept beside me as if it was the most normal thing in the world .

When I woke the next morning , the bed was empty , but I heard the shower on in the bathroom and I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding .

He was still there , and he was taking a shower I started to feel a bit lighter knowing that he came to me right after his date and spent the night with me under the impression that I was sick .

He made me tea and was tentative about my needs last night ; he didnt try to have sex with me or anything .

Maybe he did care about me after all .

I grabbed my phone , and I saw that Nan had called me and she sent me a text as well .

I frowned , wondering what was so urgent that she needed to get a hold of me so early this morning , I opened the text and saw her message , my heart weighing heavily in my chest .

Nan : Whatever you do , dont open the internet today ! Please !! There was a sinking feeling in my chest , and I knew I had to find out what she was talking about .

I immediately went to the internet and the news headline was large and in front of my face , making that sick feeling in my stomach return .

Skyla Sinclare Spotted with New Boyfriend , Gavin Landry ! Tears filled my eyes and started to spill down my cheeks before I could stop them .

I pressed the caption and let it take me to the article … and that was when I saw the photo … It was Gavin and Skyla , and they were kissing !

Chapter 0194 In just a heartbeat , it felt like my entire world had been crashing down around me .

Gavin lied to me .

He had taken Skyla out on a date and kissed her … the evidence was in this new story and now I felt stupid for falling for such a nasty trick .

Hadnt Ethan taught me anything? I couldnt trust anyone .

They would all betray me .

Ellian was my fated mate and even he betrayed me .

Now Gavin was betraying me ? The shower turned off and I quickly got out of bed , I grabbed a pair of jeans and a T shirt .

I wanted to get out of here before lie left the bathroom .

I wasnt sure Id be able to face him right now .

I was fuming and I knew it would only be bad .

My wolf was in despair , and she was also angry over the fact that Gavin had lied to us .

What was wrong with me ? Why did I keep getting played so badly like this ? Just as I reached the door , the bathroom door swung open and Gavin stepped out , wearing nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist .noveldrama

Beads of water trailed down his broad chest and I found myself staring made my at it for the longest moment as it disappeared beneath the towel .

Seeing him like this always heart skip a beat and it was a struggle to pull my eyes away from it and up at his face .

He was staring at me with an amused look in his eyes , having caught me checking him out .

My cheeks flushed but it was mainly out of rage and not because of embarrassment .

I was about to turn and leave , but his voice stopped me .

Are you leaving for somewhere ? He asked , glancing at the time .

You dont have to be at school for another few hours .

I was wondering how you were feeling .

If you want , we could … his voice trailed off when he saw the hurt expression on my face .

So , thats why you spent the night here even after knowing I was sick ? I asked through my teeth .

Did you not get enough last night that you needed to get some from me as well ? He narrowed his eyes , a frown marring his lips .

What are you talking about ? פון Dont play stupid with me , Gavin , 1 all but shouted .

I know exactly what you were doing last night , and I feel so stupid to believe that it wasnt an actual date .

But that was a lie .

It was a date … you were on a date with her and then you came here and lied to me about it ! A low growl escaped his throat as he stepped closer to me .

Dont speak to me like that .

You are out of line .

Remember who you are speaking to , he said in a low and deadly tone .

I gave h a mocking laugh .

Oh , trust me .

I know exactly who Im speaking to .

You are a liar , and I shouldnt have trusted you .

You are all the same ! Whats the meaning of this outburst ? He asked , his eye glowing yellow as his wolf fought to take 1/2 control .

I wondered if he wanted to tear my throat out .

Are you still playing stupid ? I asked as I pulled out of my phone .

I brought up the headline and showed it to him , watching his eyes widen as he took in the photo underneath the headline .

He was at a loss for words ; he had been caught in a lie and now he didnt know how to sweet talk himself out of this .

Still going to pretend it wasnt a date ? I muttered bitterly .

1 turned away from him and was about to leave but he grabbed my arm , stopping me immediately .

It wasnt enough to hurt me , but enough to send me into a fight or flight mode .

I whipped around and slapped him hard in the face .

He barely flinched and Im pretty sure I hurt my hand way more than I hurt his face , but it still felt good to hear the sound and to know I made some kind of impact on him .

You are acting like a fool , he said between his teeth .

Calm yourself down before you go anywhere .

I wont have you leaving here like this .

Why ? Am I embarrassing you , Alpha ? I asked sarcastically .

I apologize .

I mocked a head bow before pulling my arm out of his grasp .

Dont touch me ! He grabbed my arm again and this time he shoved me against the wall , his wolf surging forward slightly and I could see him fighting to control himself .

I thought he was about to rip out my throat , but when he nuzzled his face in the nape of my neck and inhaled deeply , letting out a shuttering breath , I felt my body relaxing .

His close proximity gave my wolf and body a strange reaction and the anger I was once feeling started to subside .

Chapter 0196 I didnt realize what I was doing until everybody turned to stare at me .

My wolf was furious at the sight of Skyla all over Gavin and I could hardly contain her .

She wanted blood and I wasnt sure if I could hold her back fully .

She had never acted like this before and had to admit , I was a bit worried .

I felt Matts hand wrap around my wrist and that was the only thing that started to calm me .

Even my wolf knew she couldnt lose control with a child present .

I took a steady deep breath and released it shakily .

My eyes found Gavins and he didnt look pleased with my outburst .

He said something to Skyla who stepped away from him , her hands tucked in at her sides , and her eyes never left mine .

She didnt look pleased either ; the others just looked at me curiously and were a little amused .

Im sure they lived for this kind of drama , and they were hoping something exciting would happen sooner or later .

Before I could grasp what was happening , Gavin was beside me .

He grabbed my wrist and yanked me along with him and into the villa .

I nearly stumbled over my feet in the process .

I could feel his anger rolling off him in waves and it made me that much more nervous .

I had never felt this type of anger coming off him before and it made it that much worse knowing it was directed at me .

When we were far enough away , he finally stopped walking and released his hold on me .

He turned to face me , and I could see the anger crossing his face .

Is this arrangement of ours too much for you ? I was stunned by his question .

W … what ? I asked him , my resolve fading .

Is this going to be an issue ? Are other women being around me ? Because if it is , we should stop with this arrangement and just be boss and employer again .noveldrama

You can still remain in the mansion but- I dont know what happened , I said quickly .

My wolf momentarily lost her mind , but shes fine now .

He was quiet for a moment as he scanned my face .

You made a fool out of yourself out there .

You knew they were shooting today and shouldnt have come out there .

Didnt Irene give you the notice ? I frowned and grabbed my phone from my pocket .

Irene hadnt texted me at all .

I knew she was upset with me about something , but why would she sabotage me like that ? I glanced at Gavin and bit my lower lip .

I must have missed her text , I mumbled , not wanting to pin him against his daughter .

I didnt want to cause issues with the Landry family .

I have to do damage .

If you are going to act like a child , then you can leave .

Do your tutoring sessions elsewhere , he snapped before he turned his back on me .

1 His words were harsh , and they felt like a slap in the face .

I wasnt sure what to say or do , so I stood there , watching him walk away .

A moment later , Matt joined me .

He had a concerned frown on his lips .

Are you okay , Judy ? He asked .

TA Chapter 0196 I didnt want him to think that I was upset , so I forced a smile and nodded .

Yeah , I told him .

Lets do some training in the villas gym today , I suggested .

# He nodded and we headed to the back of the villa and into the gym .

We spent the next hour training and by the time we were done , we were both exhausted .

As I was leaving , I got a glimpse of Irene who was walking out of the kitchen .

She froze when she spotted .

me , and her frown was evident .

Why didnt you tell me that they were filming on the training grounds today ? I asked her , folding her arms across my chest .

It must have slipped my mind , she said , shrugging one of her shoulders as she started to walk towards the stairs .

Is there a problem between us , Irene ? I asked her , stopping her from getting too far .

Why would you think theres a problem ? She asked , a little too innocently .

Her tone spoke volumes , and I realized she had been planning against me .

She was angry with me and for reasons I wasnt sure of .

My frown deepened as my cheeks grew hot .

What had I done wrong to make you dislike me ? I thought you wanted to be friends , but you arent acting like a friend , Irene , I told her .

She was silent for a moment before she let out a bitter laugh .

She spun on her heel and glared at me , her eyes icy and sending a chill down my spine .

My wol

Chapter 0195 Dont test me , Judy , he murmured against me , his lips tracing the nape of my neck , his tongue slipping out .

I trembled beneath him as he pinned me between his body and the wall .

Im not in the mood .

I wasnt sure what to say or do , but at this moment , my body seemed to have a mind of its own .

I lifted up one of my legs and wrapped it around his waist , grinding myself against him like a horny dog .

I felt him hardening and it made me move faster , wanting to see how hard I could make him at this moment .

He let out another low growl before his lips covered mine and he kissed me as if he had been starving .

I hadnt realized how badly I wanted him until that moment , but we were soon ripping each others clothes off .

Now completely naked , I was at his mercy , and I completely forgot why I was even angry with him in the first place .

My heart was hammering against my chest at rapid speed , and I moaned into his mouth as he lifted me up and I wrapped both legs around his body .

He pushed himself into me and I let out another breathy moan , speaking out his name He nibbled on my bottom lip as he continued to thrust into me .

He ran his lips down my neck , sending chills throughout my entire body .

His little bites mark me without actually marking me .

He brought me over to bed and ravished my body as I enjoyed his .noveldrama

He sucked and bit every corner of me that he could , leaving his markings all over the place .

Iran my fingers through his hair as he brought me to new heights .

I was blinded by the lust that our conversation from before had flown right out of the window .

Some might call me foolish , but at this moment I didnt care .

When he pushed me over the edge and I screamed out his name , he growled loudly , his wolf surging forward and his canines elongated .

I gasped at the sight , and I found myself wanting to bear my neck to him ; my own wolf tried to surge as well , wanting to submit to him , but I held her back , confused by the gesture .

As Gavin reached his climax , he managed to pull his wolf back and he let out a distressed howl before submitting ck into Gavin .

We were both breathing heavily as we came down from the peak .

He quickly pulled out of me and gained a bit of distance so we could catch our breaths , neither of us looking at each other .

Im not sure either of us knew what to say at that moment , but my entire body was on fire .

I should go , he said as he quickly got off the bed .

I have some business today .

But Ill see you later at the villa .

I nodded numbly and watched him as he quickly got dressed .

He would barely even look at me and I wondered what was runn he would have told me .

through his mind .

I didnt ask him though ; I knew he wanted me to know , Without another word , he left , leaving me alone with my thoughts .

At school , I told Nan all about it and she told me I was stupid for forgetting why I was upset in the first place , but she was glad I didnt let it ruin my day .

Truth be told , I hadnt thought about Skyla or the kiss since this morning .

My mind was whirling with thoughts of Gavin almost losing control of his wolf while .

we had sex .

Did he almost mark me ? 12 Chapter 0195 Why would that be something his wolf would want ? And why did that excite me ? It didnt make any sense to me , but I decided to not dwell too much on it .

I had to get through my session with Matt and pretend that it never happened When I reached the Villa later that evening , I wasnt expecting it to be so busy with a film crew .

Apparently , they were starting their filming session in Gavins Villa , but the parlor was cleared so I was able to tutor Matt .

After we did his homework , we went outside to spar a lttle before I left for the evening , but I noticed that they were doing some filming on the training grounds .

Gavin was speaking with Skyla about something while the others were talking amongst themselves .

Skyla was putting her hands all over him and he was just standing there , letting her touch him , A furious rage coursed through me and before I knew what was happening , I was growling ! ti

Chapter 0197 You want to talk about friendship ? She asked , stepping closer to me .

You are the one who wasnt acting like a friend .

You lied to me from the beginning and now you are angry because Im the one who has the upper hand ? You are pathetic and my father deserves better than to be played by you ! My blood went cold .

What are you talking about ? I asked her .

I never lied to you … Even as I spoke those words , I knew they werent true .

But Irene couldnt possibly know the truth about Ethan and me … could she ? Telling from the crazed look in her eyes … it was a possibility .

You have been lying to me since the second we met ! Irene hissed ; her eyes filled with a fire I had never seen before .

You told me nothing was going on between you and Ethan , but you lied of me , Judy ! You didnt tell me you were his fated mate ! I was stunned that she knew this information .

How did she find out ?? I wasnt sure what to say , so I stared at her , dumbstruck .

Nothing to say now , huh ? She murmured , shaking her head , her eyes filling with pity and disgust .

Have you been sleeping with him this entire time ? Is that why you never said anything ? Am I the fool here ? Are you and Ethan screwing- No ! I said sharply , cutting off her words .

Ethan and I are no longer together .

# Dont bullshit me , she said , tears filling her eyes .

You dont just break up with a fated mate .

Its not possible .

Either you did something so terrible that it made him walk away from you , or you are still screwing each other , and this is some kind of sick plan to get close to my father .

I dont know what your game plan is , but its not going to work ! I dont know what youre talking about , I said , shaking my own head .

Im not playing you , Irene .

Im not the one you need to be worried about ! I cant believe a single thing that you say ! She hissed , stepping closer to me .

You are a liar , and I thought you were my friend .

But that was a lie too .

You were never my friend .

You were plotting against my fiancé.1 me from the beginning .

You were after Ethan is not the saint you think he is … I tried to reason with her ; I wanted her to see that she was engaged to a monster , He was the one she needed to be mad at .

Tears streaked down her cheeks .

No , you are the mastermind , she said .

Ethan would never deliberately lie to me .

Was she serious ? Irene- Just shut the hell up ! She growled and before I knew what was happening , she grabbed my hair and yanked me to the ground .

It was all so sudden that I had barely enough time to react .

I didnt want to Chapter 0197 hurt her , even though I knew I could take her down quickly .

I just wanted to defend myself , so I used my defense mechanisms to avoid her punches .

looked in the villa foyer ; two girls screaming and rolling around the I couldnt imagine how I must have ground .

Im sure it was pathetic .noveldrama

The second Gavin appeared in front of us , I knew it before I even saw him .

His aura was strong , and it washed over the both of us immediately .

Irene only coward a little at the force of his Alpha powers , probably because they were of the same blood , so it didnt have as strong an effect on her .

But for me , it hurt badly .

I screamed in pain as my head felt like it was about to explode .

The force of his Alpha powers pushed me into the ground so hard that I felt my nose bleeding from the pressure , Irene , tell me what is going on here ? Gavin ordered his daughter , his wolf close to the surface .

She betrayed me , Irene whimpered , her bottom lip trembling .

Shes been with Ethan the entire time … shes his fated mate ! Gavin released me from his Alpha power , and I let out a breath of air from the relief .

I didnt dare move from the ground though .

I was a mess ; my nose was bleeding and apparently , I had been crying without even realizing it .

What did you just say ? Gavin asked Irene , his eyes narrowed .

Irene sniffled and wiped her eyes .

I said , shes been sleeping with my fiancé ! At that moment , the front door shut , and we all turned our attention to the person standing before us .

I was faced with a wide eyed Ethan .

Chapter 0198 Irene hadnt meant to spill that secret like that , especially with Ethan being right there .

But she didnt know that Ethan was about to walk in .

She was planning on meeting him later , so it would have been a nice surprise for him to show up at the Villa announce .

However , at this moment , Irene was mortified .

She stared back at Ethan who was staring at her like he was a deer caught in the headlights .

His eyes were impossibly big , and he had no idea what to say at this moment .

He hadnt expected Irene to know about him and Judy , even though nothing was going on between them right now , she was still never supposed to find out that they were in fact fatedmates .

Had Judy told Irene this information ? How would she have found out ?? I didnt mean to cause a scene , Irene said , standing to her feet and wiping at her eyes .

But Judy lied but it was to me from the beginning .

She told me that nothing was going on between her and Ethan , b nothing but a lie .

Gavins eyes found Judys and they darkened .

He was furious and that much was obvious to everyone involved .

Irene wasnt exactly sure which part he was mad at though .

Was he mad that Judy had and betrayed Irene , or was he mad at the fact that shes been sleeping with Ethan ? Maybe now her father will see that she is not the woman he thought she was , and he can leave her behind .

Skyla is the much better choice anyway .

Irene , Baby … Ethan finally said , breaking the silence between them as he stepped closer to her and around Judy .

He didnt even spare Judy a look and it made Irenes heart swell a little .

He looked so distraught and frightened that it tugged at her heartstrings .

I would never do anything to hurt you .

I just didnt want to worry you but Judy and I are indeed mates … but we broke up … theres nothing more to it than that .

Irene wasnt sure if she should believe him or not .

She stared at him with a hurt expression ; tears filling her eyes .

She bit her trembling lower lip , trying to understand what was going on .

I dont know what to trust anymore … Irene admitted , staring down at her hands .

I know … Ethan said softly , reaching his hand out to her like was trying to tame a wild animal .

And its my fault .

Im so sorry .

But I love you , Irene , and I would never do anything to purposely hurt you .

You have to believe me , baby .

Im so sorry you had to find out this way .

More tears slipped down Irenes cheeks .

Maybe you should speak about this in private , her father said , his eyes still fixed on Judy who remained on the ground .

His Alpha power did a number on her .

Irene finally nodded and took Ethans hand .

Okay , she said softly .

She didnt bother to share Judy another look ; she walked with Ethan up the stairs and into the bedroom , 1/2 Chapter 190 closing the door behind them .

Ethan let out a breath of air once they were alone , but Irene was feeling anything but relieved .

She wrapped her arms around her body and glared at him across the room .

How could you lie to me , Ethan ? She asked him after a beat of silence .

Ethan turned to look at her and she saw the remorse on his face .

I shouldnt have , he admitted .

Im so sorry .

Please forgive me … How can I forgive you so quickly ? She asked , sniffling as she wiped at her moist cheeks .

Are you still sleeping with her ? No , Ethan said without hesitation .

Do you want to sleep with her ? She suddenly asked .

There as a slight hesitation that made Irenes heart crack even more .

Its complicated , he admitted .

My wolf still wants her because shes our mate .

So , I guess until we mate and mark you , then the answer is yes .

I still want to sleep with her in some shape or form .

But thatll end soon enough , and I wouldnt act on those feelings .

You are the one I want to be with .

You are the one I love .

I cant love Judy the same way I used to Why not ? Irene asked , meeting his eyes .

Because she cheated on me with someone else , he blurted , shrugging his shoulders .noveldrama

Shes manipulative .

Shes been here this entire time , using your father , because she wants to get to me .

She told me so herself !

Chapter 0198 Irene hadnt meant to spill that secret like that , especially with Ethan being right there .

But she didnt know that Ethan was about to walk in .

She was planning on meeting him later , so it would have been a nice surprise for him to show up at the Villa announce .

However , at this moment , Irene was mortified .

She stared back at Ethan who was staring at her like he was a deer caught in the headlights .

His eyes were impossibly big , and he had no idea what to say at this moment .

He hadnt expected Irene to know about him and Judy , even though nothing was going on between them right now , she was still never supposed to find out that they were in fact fatedmates .

Had Judy told Irene this information ? How would she have found out ?? I didnt mean to cause a scene , Irene said , standing to her feet and wiping at her eyes .

But Judy lied but it was to me from the beginning .

She told me that nothing was going on between her and Ethan , b nothing but a lie .

Gavins eyes found Judys and they darkened .

He was furious and that much was obvious to everyone involved .

Irene wasnt exactly sure which part he was mad at though .

Was he mad that Judy had and betrayed Irene , or was he mad at the fact that shes been sleeping with Ethan ? Maybe now her father will see that she is not the woman he thought she was , and he can leave her behind .

Skyla is the much better choice anyway .

Irene , Baby … Ethan finally said , breaking the silence between them as he stepped closer to her and around Judy .

He didnt even spare Judy a look and it made Irenes heart swell a little .

He looked so distraught and frightened that it tugged at her heartstrings .

I would never do anything to hurt you .

I just didnt want to worry you but Judy and I are indeed mates … but we broke up … theres nothing more to it than that .

Irene wasnt sure if she should believe him or not .

She stared at him with a hurt expression ; tears filling her eyes .

She bit her trembling lower lip , trying to understand what was going on .

I dont know what to trust anymore … Irene admitted , staring down at her hands .

I know … Ethan said softly , reaching his hand out to her like was trying to tame a wild animal .

And its my fault .

Im so sorry .

But I love you , Irene , and I would never do anything to purposely hurt you .

You have to believe me , baby .

Im so sorry you had to find out this way .

More tears slipped down Irenes cheeks .

Maybe you should speak about this in private , her father said , his eyes still fixed on Judy who remained on the ground .

His Alpha power did a number on her .

Irene finally nodded and took Ethans hand .

Okay , she said softly .

She didnt bother to share Judy another look ; she walked with Ethan up the stairs and into the bedroom , 1/2 Chapter 190 closing the door behind them .

Ethan let out a breath of air once they were alone , but Irene was feeling anything but relieved .

She wrapped her arms around her body and glared at him across the room .

How could you lie to me , Ethan ? She asked him after a beat of silence .

Ethan turned to look at her and she saw the remorse on his face .

I shouldnt have , he admitted .

Im so sorry .

Please forgive me … How can I forgive you so quickly ? She asked , sniffling as she wiped at her moist cheeks .

Are you still sleeping with her ? No , Ethan said without hesitation .

Do you want to sleep with her ? She suddenly asked .

There as a slight hesitation that made Irenes heart crack even more .

Its complicated , he admitted .

My wolf still wants her because shes our mate .

So , I guess until we mate and mark you , then the answer is yes .

I still want to sleep with her in some shape or form .

But thatll end soon enough , and I wouldnt act on those feelings .

You are the one I want to be with .

You are the one I love .

I cant love Judy the same way I used to Why not ? Irene asked , meeting his eyes .

Because she cheated on me with someone else , he blurted , shrugging his shoulders .noveldrama

Shes manipulative .

Shes been here this entire time , using your father , because she wants to get to me .

She told me so herself !

apter 0199 Irene gawked at him ; she suspected as much , but hearing Ethan confirm it was mind boggling .

What ? She asked in a breathy whisper .

Shes using my father to get pet to v you ? Yes , of course she is , he said , rolling his eyes .

Why else would she be hanging around him like this ? Its pathetic if you ask me .

Shes flirted with me so much since she started working here and I keep telling her that Im not interested .

Shes not the person you thought she was , Irene .

You should be careful around her .

Irene knew this , but hearing it was different .

Anger coursed through her ; she started to hate Judy just a little more and now her poor Ethan was a victim to her Ethan closed the gap between them , seeing this as his opportunity to comfort her .

He wrapped her in his arms and kept her close to his body .

His wolf wasnt exactly happy about this … but he needed to comfort Irene if he wanted his plans to work out .

I love yo you , Ethan murmured , kissing the top of her head .

Im so sorry that you got hurt .

But I promise , Im not hiding anything more from you .

15 Irene nodded against his chest and let out a breath of relief .

She felt better after this talk , she now knew who her friends were and who were her enemies and Judy was no friend .

Judys POV Gavin pressed the warm cloth to my nose , wiping away the excess blood on my face .

We hadnt spoken since Irene and Ethan went upstairs .

I was hoping that she would have told Ethan to get lost and not take him back .

But that didnt seem to be the case ; the moment she took his hand , I knew she was going to forgive him .

I was honestly surprised Gavin was even allowing that to happen ; he knew what scum Ethan was .

Yet , hes still letting his daughter marry him .

Were you the one who told her ? Gavin asked , breaking the silence between us .

I looked up at him , surprised by the question .

No , of course not , I told him .

I wouldnt do that .

I wouldnt want to hurt her like that .

Then , how did she find out ? Gavin asked , his tone accusatory .

I frowned at him .

I dont know , I said slowly .

I have no idea how she found out , but it wasnt from me .

He studied my face for a moment before nodding and returning his attention to the blood on my face .

You shouldnt have fought with her .

1 narrowed my eyes at her , shocked by his words .

She threw the first punch , I told him .

I barely fought back .

You know I could have- You should have walked away before it got to that point .

Chapter 0199 His words were like a slap in the face , and I wasnt sure what to say in response .

We both remained silent for a while and once he finished wiping the blood on my face , he leaned back and studied me even more .

to I think until the filming is finished , you shouldnt come villa , he told me .

Ill send Matt to you at the mansion .

I raised my brows .

You arent worried about Matt finding out that Im living here ? I asked him .

He shook his head .noveldrama

Matts only been there a few times himself , Gavin admitted .

If he asks any questions , we can just tell him that you needed a place to stay , and I offered the mansion .

Theres nothing more to it than that , right ? I bit my lip , feeling hurt , but I nodded .

Right , I murmured .

And I think its best if you stayed away from Irene .

At least until things cool down , he murmured .

He didnt have to tell me twice ; Irene made it perfectly clear where I stood with her .

As much as it hurt to lose a friend , it was probably better if I didnt hang out with my exs fiancé anyway .

I nodded again , hating how red my face was getting .

You should go , he concluded as he stood to his feet .

I wont be there tonight , but Ill try to swing by tomorrow .

Its okay , I said softly .

I get it .

He didnt reply , but I could feel his eyes on me .

C … can you tell Irene that Im sorry ? I asked him , peeking up at him through his lashes .

His jaw clenched and unclenched , and he nodded .

Sure , he said .

I gave him a faint smile , but I turned and left , unable to spare him another look .

Chapter 0200 Judys POV Ethan is such a jerk , Nan huffed as we walked to the student lounge .

It was the next day after my encounter with Irene and I had just finished telling Nan about the entire ordeal .

She was aggravated on my behalf , I was just hurt and confused .

Gavin hadnt reached out to me since last night and it was almost nearing evening currently .

Actually , he did text me earlier .

But it was only to tell me that Matt wasnt feeling well and that he wasnt going to come to tutoring today .

He also made it a point to tell me that he wasnt coming over tonight .

It wasnt surprising ; I wasnt really expecting him to .

Yeah , well , Irene is hopelessly in love with him .

Im assuming she took him back , I murmured , shaking my head .

Its whatever .

Its not my problem anymore .

Doesnt it still hurt though ? Nan asked with a frown I mean , hes your mate and all … I shook my head and bit my lower lip .

Thats not the part that hurt the most , I murmured .

Im used to Ethan hurting me and my wolf .

Its not new to either of us .

It hurts less and less each time though .

I dont love him anymore , despite him being my mate .

Nan nodded thoughtfully .

We need to get our minds off stupid guys , Nan said , facing me .

We had just reached the student lounge .

We hadnt gone inside yet though ; her eyes were wide with excitement .

I heard theres going to be a frat party tonight ! קור .

A frat party ? I asked , raising my brows .

Seriously , Nan ? She nodded happily as she opened the door .

I stepped in and she followed after me , looping through mine .

g an arm Everybody is going to be there .

I have tonight off from work , and I really want to get out and have some fun .

So , I was thinking we should go to this party , she told me , a wide grin spreading across her face .

I sighed and shook my head .

Parties were not my thing , especially frat parties .

I would have rather stay in the combat center for a little longer tonight and get some training done .

Oh , come on , Judy ! Nan pleaded .

We never get to do anything .

This is going to be so fun , and you need a night out to forget about Ethan and Gavin .

I sighed , I knew she was right .

It could be a good thing to get out for a little bit and maybe loosen up .

Okay , I finally relented .

We will go to this party .

Its not like I have anything better to do anyways .

She squealed and wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug .

Im so excited ! We will meet here on campus .

Its at the fraternity house .

Wear something hot ! She ordered , pointing her finger at me .

I chuckled and nodded .

Chapter 0200 Yes , mam , I said , giving her a mocking salute .

We spent some time talking and laughing while we studied for upcoming exams .

Afterward , Leroy came to pick me up and take me home .

I spent the rest of the evening getting dressed for this party that I didnt even want to attend .

But when I saw my appearance in the mirror , I grinned .

Third Person POV Nan had nothing good to wear to her first frat party .

She wanted to wear something hot , but most of her clothing was classy and fit for her job .

She didnt wear anything remotely slutty and thats exactly the kind of look she was going for .

She thought about texting Judy and asking her if she wanted to go shopping , but she decided against it .

Judy was having a hard enough time deciding whether or not she even wanted to go and Im sure she needed some peace and quiet before such an event .

So , Nan decided to take her car into the city and do a little shopping herself .

She still had a few hours before the party tonight so there was plenty of time to get something hot for the event and make herself into a gorgeous slut .noveldrama

Welcome back , Nan , the store clerk said as Nan walked through the doors of her favorite boutique .

Hey , Becky , Nan replied .

I need something hot .

Im going to a frat party tonight .

Becky , the store clerk , frowned .

Ew , those are so gross , Becky said , crinkling her nose in disgust .

I dont miss those days .

Becky was a little older ; she was fresh out of college and was training to become a manager at this boutique .

She was never a party animal , but she did go to occasional frat parties during her college years .

Well , this is my first one and I want to make a good impression , Nan said with a shrug .

Becky nodded , understanding all too well where Nan was coming from .

Well , make it quick .

Im closing early tonight , Becky told her .

Nan frowned .

Whats the occasion ? Nan asked .

I dont think its a holiday .

No , its not , Becky said , her grin widening .

I have a date tonight and Im so excited .

I cant believe he actually asked me out .

Hes from Silver Crescent pack , and we met at a bar a few nights ago .

Hes taking me dancing and to dinner .
