Chapter 0244
“I want to be the Alpha of the Redmoon pack,” Ethan blurted. “But I also want Judy back too.”
The Alpha grinned.
“I could get you both,” he told Ethan exactly what he wanted to hear. “Gavin isn’t the only one who has power.”
“I’ll do whatever it takes,” Ethan said, a smile spreading across his lips.
“Excellent,” Levi said as he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a business card. He handed it to Ethan. “If you want this arrangement between us to work, you’ll need to have over all control over me. Mentally and physically,” Levi continued. “Which means we cannot have secrets between us. You must tell me everything you know. Give me a call when you are ready for the next stage.
With those words left in the air, Levi motioned for his gammas to follow him and soon they were gone, leaving Ethan alone with his thoughts and a grin on his lips.
Judy’s POV
“Can you take me to Nan’s house before we go to the villa? I asked Taylor just after we left the school grounds.
“Sure,” Taylor said, glancing at me through the mirror. “Is everything okay?”
“I’m not sure,” I told him. “I hadn’t heard from her since she ran out of the mansion on Saturday. I’m worried about her.”
He nodded thoughtfully and didn’t say anything more as we reached the apartment complex just outside of campus. Nan’s complex was a few buildings down. I already knew the passcode to get into her building and I also knew the hidden key that Nan had in a potted plant just outside her door. I wasn’t going to bother knocking or buzzing in because I knew she would only ignore me as she’d done when I called her these last couple of days.
“Do you want me to come in with you?” Taylor asked from the driver’s seat; he rolled the window down and I stood on the sidewalk, staring up at Nan’s building.
“Yes, please,” I told him before I could stop myself. I wasn’t sure why, but I feared what I might find. I worried that something was wrong with her and if that were true, then I might need some backup or something.
He nodded and went to park the car before he turned it off and joined me outside Nan’s building. He gave me an encouraging nod. I walked over to the keypad and typed in Nan’s code. The door clicked unlocked and Taylor opened it for me.
I stepped inside with Taylor following after me. Nan was on the second floor and only a few doors down. She was the only one who had a potted plant outside of her doorway I always told her that it was obvious she was hiding something there, but she told me that nobody would think to look for a hidden key.
I rumunaged through the plant until I came across a small golden key and then I pulled it free from the twigs as I looked up at Beta Taylor.
“I’m scared,” I admitted.
“I’m right here,” he assured me.
I took a deep breath and nodded; thankful he was here with ne. I put the key in the door and listened for the click indicating that it was unlocked.
I turned the doorknob and pushed it open. I stepped inside and I frowned at the mess in her apartment. Nan was

typically a very clean person, so to see pizza and beer bottles all over the floor and tables, was shocking. The TV was left on some kind of reality TV show and the fridge was left open as well. I walked over to the fridge to shut it, but I noticed some stuff was rotting and there was water on the floor, indicating that it’s been open for a while.
Taylor was also frowning, his nose crinkled when he saw the mess on the coffee table. He grabbed the remote and turned it off.
My heart hammered in my chest.
“Nan??” 1 called out, hoping she would reply, but I didn’t hear her.
1 looked at Taylor panicked.
“Maybe she’s in her room?” Taylor asked.
I took a deep breath and walked down the small hallway until I reached her bedroom door.
“Nan?” I called out again. Taylor was right behind me, and he waited as I turned the handle to her door and pushed it open.
As I stepped inside, my entire body froze.
Nan was lying on the ground, face down, in a pile of her own vomit.
“N… Nan?!” I screamed as I rushed towards her, tears flowing down my cheeks.
“Holy fuck,” Taylor breathed as he grabbed his phone from his coat pocket. “I’m calling 911 and I’ll make sure my mate meets us at the hospital.”
“Nan….” I cried, barely paying attention to a thing Taylor was saying. I turned her over to see that she was so very pale. I grabbed her wrist to check for a heartbeat and I was relieved to see that there was one. “Nan… hold in…” I cried. “It’s going to be okay. We are going to get you some help.”
