I was momentarily stunned by his words. Did he really think I was so cruel and conniving that I would purposely hurt someone to get what I wanted? The only thing I wanted was to work hard and pay off my father’s debt, I wasn’t looking for anything and I certainly didn’t want to hurt anyone. Ethan was doing enough of that for the both of us.
I didn’t have to stand here and let him ridicule me though; I was fed up with being looked down on. I pulled my arm out of his grip and glared up at Gavin, my rage evident in my eyes.
“I don’t want to hurt anyone,” I told him. “I’m capable of hanging out with your daughter and being friends with her without any alternative motives, Alpha Gavin. If you have a problem with me being friends with her, then perhaps you should speak to her about it. She was the one who invited me out after all.”
I didn’t bother to stick around and listen to his response. I turned and quickly hurried up the stairs and after Irene. Though, I could feel Gavin’s eyes burning in a hole in the back of my head. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment or if he believed me.
I walked into Irene’s bedroom; she was busy throwing together an outfit for me. She smiled when she saw me at the doorway.
“Did father upset you?” She asked after a quick assessment of my face.
“No,” I lied. “He was just talking to me about Matt’s studies.”
She nodded thoughtfully as she went back to picking out an outfit.
“Here, put this on,” she said, handing me a white crop top and a pair of Capri jeans. I took them and went into her bathroom. The clothing fit a bit tighter than it would have fit her because she’s smaller than me, but it wasn’t uncomfortable, and they were honestly cute. I slid my shoes back onto my feet and brushed out my hair, taking it out of tight restraints. I splashed some cold and sprayed some body spray on myself to make myself smell better. Once satisfied, I left the bathroom to meet with Irene. She smiled widely at me when she saw my appearance
“You look amazing,” she breathed. “You can just put your dirty clothes in my hamper. The maids will clean it later.”
I hesitated, but I eventually did what she said and put the dirty clothes in her hamper near her closet. Irene draped an arm through mine and gave me another wide smile.
“Come on,” she said, motioning for me to follow her.
I followed after her; we went down the stairs and I saw that Gavin was speaking to his driver, Leroy, at the front door. Irene frowned and folded her arms across her chest.
“What are you doing?” She asked, narrowing her eyes at her father.
“Leroy is going to take you girls into the city,” he answered.

“I was planning on driving my new car,” Irene said with a pout.
“I’m not arguing about this,” Gavin growled, clearly not in the mood.
I wondered if he was angry because of our conversation. I decided against pressing him and turned to look at a fuming Irene. It was obvious she did not want Leroy to be driving us, but it also seemed as if she didn’t really have a choice.
After a moment, she relented and followed Leroy outside. I only hesitated a moment, glancing back at Gavin who was watching me. His expression was indifferent and making a nervous pit form in the middle of my stomach. Without a word to him, I turned and followed Irene and Leroy outside.
We both got into the backseat while Leroy got into the driver’s seat.
“Leroy, roll up the window,” Irene ordered, her tone hard.
Leroy glanced at us briefly from the rearview mirror before he pressed the button that rolled up the window separating the backseat from the front seat, giving Irene and me privacy. Irene let out a breath of air I’m sure she’s been holding.
“Everything okay?” I finally asked after we remained silent for most of the drive.
She glanced at me, and I could see the turmoil in her eyes.
“I just wanted to get away,” she murmured. “Away from everything and everyone, but that makes it hard when my father enlists his men to watch over me like a hawk.”
“It’s just Leroy,” I told her. “He’s barely watching you”
She rolled her eyes.

“If you think it’s only Leroy, then you are deranged. Look behind us,” she muttered.
I glanced over my shoulder at the car driving behind us. I raised my brows when I recognized the driver. He was one of the guards I’ve seen around the Silver Crescent pack. His passenger was also a guard.
“Are those Gammas?” I asked in awe.
She sighed.
“Yes,” she muttered. “He never lets me go anywhere by myself. I’m always being watched. I was hoping since I’m with you, things would be different.”
“Is that why you wanted me to come along with you?” I asked, feeling kind of dejected. Here I was thinking she wanted a friend, but she just wanted to get out without being followed by her father’s warriors.
She glanced at me with a frown.
