Chapter 0149
“Okay,” I finally said after a beat of silence. “We don’t need to talk about this any further.”
“Can you leave now?” She murmured. “I’m really tired.”
I nodded and started to leave, but then I paused and glanced over my shoulder at her.
“I thought you’d like to know that Ethan is sleeping in a guest room. We found him passed out in the bar and it looked like a prostitute was about to take advantage of him.”
Irene’s face paled immediately, and I could practically hear her heart thumping out of her chest.
“What?” She gasped. “Why didn’t you say something sooner? I need to go see him,” she said as she ran towards the doorway.
I didn’t stop her, but I did call after her once she was in the hallway.
“Irene,” I said, halting her movements. “I love you. I Hope you know that.”
She studied me for a moment before she nodded. She didn’t say anything as she turned and quickly hurried to find Ethan.
I sighed. There was no getting through to her.
I was surprised to see that Judy returned the next evening to train Matt; I honestly thought she would have called in sick after our last encounter. I was pleased to see her though; I wanted to tell her that I was sorry for what I had said in the heat of the moment.
Then again, it wasn’t my place to make her see reason. I decided to give her a bit of space this evening, but I admittedly watched from afar with my wolf itching to get closer. I kept my footing though, unable to take my eyes off her.
Irene and Ethan spent the entire day together; Ethan seemed to have forgotten what had happened last night and Irene was just pleased to have him by her side. I’ve noticed there was some tension between Judy and Irene earlier and I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. Irene kept glancing at Judy whenever they were in the same area, and I swear I saw her giving Judy a dirty look.
I thought they were friends… what had happened?
Judy grabbed her phone out of her bag and frowned when she saw the screen. She glanced down at Matt and said something to him. He nodded and started to practice on her own while Judy went to take a phone call.
My curiosity got the best of me… who did she run off to speak to so urgently?
Judy’s POV
When I saw Nan had called me back while I was in the middle of my training session with Matt, my heart leapt into my throat. I hadn’t spoken to her in a couple of days because we hadn’t had school and I’ve been so busy. I left her a message earlier, telling her I needed to ask her something important.

Thad no other options.
Nan lived in an apartment by herself… so I needed to see if I could crash on her couch for a while. At least until I can figure out my next move.
“I’ll be right back,” I told Matt. “I need to make a phone call. Just practice your aiming and I’ll be return as soon as I can.”
“Okay,” he said with a nod before going off to practice on his own.
I hurried away from the field and brought up Nan’s contact information. I clicked on the call button and pressed the phone to my cheek, waiting with bated breath.
“What’s so important?” Nan asked; she sounded tired, and I knew she had just gotten out of work.
“Busy day?” I asked, admittedly stalling because I was too nervous to ask.
“An annoying day,” she murmured. “I got in trouble for smacking a dude after he grabbed my ass and told me he’ll have that as a meal.”
I gasped.
“That dog!” I exclaimed. “I’m sorry you have to deal with that.”
