“I’ve known you for a while, Judy. You can’t bullshit me.”“What do you expect me to say, Ethan? That I’m not okay? That my mother is depressed and barely eats? Isn’t this what you wanted? For me to suffer? So, why are you acting like you care right now when we both know you don’t!”“Judy!” My mothe
Judy’s POV“Return the favor?” I asked, my heart falling deep into my stomach. “What are you talking about?”He cleared his throat and straightened his posture; the soft expression he wore for most of the day was gone completely and now it was a cold look that sent a chill down my spine. I instincti
But instead of answering the call, he shoved it back into his pocket, letting it ring. The ringing soon stopped, and my frown deepened.“Why do you keep ignoring that person?” I asked.“It’s not your concern,” he murmured, his eyes dark.Then, a thought occurred to me, and I found myself feeling par
Judy’s POV“That asshole!” Nan gasped as we stood in line at the campus coffee shop, waiting to take our orders. “I can’t believe he had the nerve to do that to you last night. And to involve your mother??”It was the next morning after Ethan came to see me and I just finished telling Nan about what
“Think what you want,” I murmured. “I don’t need to prove anything to you.”“Maybe you should be worried about yourselves,” Nan said, folding her arms across her chest.“Just forget about it, Nan,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m going to get to class. I’ll see you later.”I didn’t wait for her respon
Judy’s POV All the professors knew about my dyslexia?How did the dean even find out about it? All my doctors and therapists assured me that nobody outside of my circle would find out about this. I didn’t want them to start treating me differently like I was incapable. It seemed as if my fears were
I wasn’t surprised to see the familiar luxury car waiting for me outside school when I got done with my final class of the day. Leroy waited for me outside of the car and when I approached, he gave me a polite smile before opening the back door for me.I frowned at him.“You have to be careful. If o
Judy’s POV“Oh, hey Judy,” Irene said as she recovered from Ethan's hold. Her cheeks were flushed and that smile never left her lips. She ran her fingers through her hair and gave me a sheepish look as she stepped into the parlor.Matt lifted his gaze from his homework to look up at his sister.“How
“Oh, I see,” she murmured. “Then you must be very special.” “What about you?” I asked. “Aren’t you competing?” She looked down at her sweatshirt again and her shoulders slumped slightly. “No,” she said softly. “But I’m required to be there to support my gamma.” “Oh?” I asked. She sighed an
Judy’s POV “So, are you ever going to tell me what happened?” Nan asked, eyeing me carefully from across the room. I was helping her finish packing and then we were heading straight to the airport. It was so early, the sun hadn’t even woken yet. I finished packing my things last night and then w
She nodded and stared down at her hands, tugging her fingers nervously. I knew it was now or never; I needed to ask her the question weighing on my mind. “What exactly did you see earlier, Irene?” I asked. “You said you saw Judy shooting him?” She nodded and turned to face me. “She did it on p
I was seeing fucking red! Who had attacked my nephew? My first thought was Levi; had he somehow gotten access to my villa? I ran towards him and fell to the ground beside him; I didn’t think I just acted. It was a flesh wound; after a quick examination of the arrow, I knew it would be safe to
Gavin’s POV “Why are you avoiding going home?” Taylor asked, sitting in the seat in front of my desk. “Why do you think?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at my Beta. He shrugged. “It’s been over a week, and you are barely there,” Taylor said. “Is it because of Judy?” I furrowed my brows. “Wha
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
Judy’s POV I was stunned by her words and I slowly turned to look at her. She was looking anywhere but at me. Her hands fidgeted with the ends of her blouse and her breathing was heavier than usual. “What?” I asked her, narrowing my eyes. “I think he’s cheating on me,” she repeated, her tone b
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
