She was quiet for a moment as she took a sip of lier own coffee.
“There’s nothing wrong with being friends. I mean, lie has to understand that your fated mate left you for another woman only recently. You are still heartbroken, and your wolf is healing,” she told me. “You can’t be too hard on yourself, and he can’t be too hard on you.”
I bit my lip and stared down at the brown liquid, my cheeks flushing at the memory.
“Why do I feel like there’s more to the story?” She suddenly asked, taking in my sour expression.
“Because there is,” I murmured, pecking up at her through my lashes. “He was so angry, Nan. I was so scared, and I tried to get away. Things were sald… and lines were crossed.”
“Lines were crossed?” She asked and I could feel her rising irritation. “Did he hurt you??”
I chewed the inside of my cheek, not able to say the words.
“OH, my Goddess!” She nearly screamed. “He did, didn’t he?!”
“Not so loud, Nan!” I pleaded, grabbing her arm to settle her down. “I don’t want this to get out.”
“I’m going to fucking kill that asshole!” She hissed and was seconds away from standing up, but I pulled her back down, not wanting her to make any stupid decisions.
“Gavin is already dealing with it…”
She froze and stared at me with wide eyes.
“Gavin? Gavin Landry?” She asked.
I nodded.
“He saw me walking last night and he pulled over to give me a ride…” I told her. It was half the truth b I wasn’t going to tell her the entire story. “He figured out what happened, and he promised me that Walter won’t hurt me again.”
She raised her brows and then a smile tipped the corner of her lips.
“Alpha Gavin Landry is protecting you?” She asked.
My cheeks blushed and I stared down at my hands.
“Yes,” I answered, not able to look her in the eyes.
“Why do I feel like there’s more to it-”
“I have to get to my next class,” I said quickly, jumping to my feet. “Thanks for the coffee.”
I grabbed my bag and my coffee and hurried towards the doorway.
“Okay, but we aren’t done with this conversation!” She shouted after me. I waved at her without looking at her and hurried to my next class.
By the end of my last class of the day, I was covered in sweat and exhausted. I was kind of relieved when

I didn’t run into Nan as I made my way to the front of the school. Before I could grab my phone to call for an Uber, a car pulled up in front of me, making me freeze.
The back window rolled down and Gavin smirked at me.
“Get in,” he ordered.
I opened my mouth to protest, looking around to make sure no one was watching.
“Don’t make me beg,” he murmured. “Get in the car.
My heart skipped a beat, but I did as he said and got into the car. Before I could put my seatbelt on, was grabbing me, pulling me in, and his lips were covering mine in a sweet and passionate kiss.

Third Person POV
A couple of weeks had passed since the Gala and Irene had been a mess. Ethan found it hard to maintain her.
“I
‘t believe he just left without
saying a word to me,” Irene pouted one night as she snuggled into bed with Ethan. “He literally left the country and said nothing!”
“I’m sure it was because of an emergency,” Ethan told her, sighing. “He will call you when he’s ready.”
It’s been like that for weeks; she would cry over her cousin leaving without a word and Ethan would attempt to comfort her. Though, his mind wasn’t truly in it. His mind was with Judy. She’s been different these last couple of weeks. Ethan had noticed how she was practically glowing.
Whenever he spotted her, she was either with Gavin, or training with Matthew and Gavin would be sitting outside, watching them. Ethan noticed the quick looks that Judy would give Gavin and the small blush that crept along her cheeks. He noticed the smirk on Gavin’s lips whenever their eyes locked. Sometimes Ethan would catch them speaking softly to one another but when they noticed him standing nearby, they would break apart and talk only about business.
It left Ethan feeling unsettled as he watched the two of them together.
Later that same evening, Ethan went to get Irene and take her out on a date to get her mind off Walter’s betrayal, but he froze when he saw Gavin and Judy in the corner just in front of the back doors. It was clear she had just finished with training and was probably leaving.
He smiled down at her and Ethan’s heart fell into his stomach when he watched Gavin tuck a strand of hair behind Judy’s hair.
It was a small gesture, but it was still so intimate.
Had Judy truly moved on already?
