Judy’s POVWhen I first realized Carol was no longer my friend, back in middle school, it was a few days after the spelling bee contest. She only missed one letter in the word ‘Necessary’ and it cost her the competition. It was only a small competition for middle schoolers, but she took it to heart,
“Is she really unworthy of the scholarship?”“Her silence speaks volumes!”“Why isn’t she defending herself??”My head lifted slightly as I passed Nan; her eyes were wide and filled with worry. She gave me a small and confident smile when our eyes locked and I felt a little lighter knowing she was i

I had no idea what to do at that moment; I was helpless, and all my Gamma training had gone out the window. “What happened?” Gavin asked as he rushed towards us. I hadn’t even known he was home. He must have heard the commotion from inside. He was by Matt’s side before I could blink. He ripped o
Every shifter in the world watched these competitions and I was nervous that I would be one of the ones they watched. I had to admit, I was excited to be getting away for a few weeks and even more excited to be participating in this competition. I was also incredibly nervous, which came to no surp

Adam narrowed his eyes. “It’s kind of short notice, don’t you think?” He asked, raising his brows. I folded my arms across my chest. “I didn’t really have a lot of notice,” I told him. “But this kind of a big deal. I can’t pass up the opportunity.” After a brief pause, Adam nodded. “I’ll l

Judy’s POV Things were awkward, to say the least. Chester didn’t bother answering her question; I think he was too stunned to even speak. He wasn’t prepared for Nan to ask that, and he wasn’t prepared to make that kind of decision. Despite her trying to keep the pain out of her eyes and voice, i
