Matt snickered at the name, and I smiled. Shadow rubbed himself all over me before returning to Matt’s side. “My parents got her for me because they were never home. Caramel kept me company,” I finished explaining. Something flashed in Matt’s eyes as he fixated his attention on his dog. It almost looked like sadness.
“My dad is never home,” he murmured. “So, Shadow keeps me company. He protects me from bad and conniving people. That’s why he bit the last tutor. She was conniving and only agreed to tutor me so she could get close to my father”
I raised my brows.
How could a woman do such a thing? I felt sick at the very thought that she was using this little boy only for his father. Who was his father to this woman?
“How about I bring Shadow back inside so you can finish getting to know one another,” Adam suggested as he walked towards the dog who only growled at him.
Matt smirked.
“Careful Adam; or you might end up dog food,” Matt warned.
Adam mumbled something under his breath that I didn’t quite get but he managed to get Shadow and bring him into the villa while I stayed behind with Matt.
Matt stared at me; his arms folded across his chest as he examined me.
“You have good reflexes and aim,” he murmured. “But that doesn’t mean you are strong or smart.
“Well, if it’s my brain you are worried about, I am top of my class in all my subjects. I graduated high school with high honors and I’m currently a college student,” I told him. I felt a little silly felling all this to a 7-year-old. But I could tell he was mature for his age, and he was having trouble trusting my capabilities. “As for my strength, as 1 said, I’m training to be a Gamma warrior. How can I prove my strength to you?”
He smirked; giving me a look I was starting to grow accustomed fo. I knew that meant he was up
I stepped backward, narrowing my eyes.
“Let’s play a game,” he finally said, surprising me.
Okay, what kind of game?”
“Escape. Ever play it?”up to something.
Escape was a game where the opponent tries to escape the other person’s hold. I’ve only played it with others around my age, never ones much younger than me. This should certainly be interesting.
“Would you wish to escape from me?” I asked him.
He nodded.
“I might be 7, but I’m very strong,” he said, putting his hands on his hips.
I smiled.
“I don’t doubt that,” I told him. “Okay, let’s give it a shot.
Before he was even ready, I already had him tackled to the ground. I must say, he did put up a pretty fair fight. I could tell he’s done some training, and it made me wonder why he trained so hard at a young age. It took me a minute to get my bearings and get control of the situation, but I eventually had him pinned and he couldn’t move. He struggled against me, and I just smiled as he attempted to get out of my hold.
“I thought you were stronger than that?” I teased.
His cheeks grew pink from embarrassment, and I laughed wholeheartedly.
“If become your tutor, we can work on this,” I assured him.
As he attempted to escape from me, I heard some footsteps from nearby and I assumed Adam was returning. But then I heard another set of footsteps; Matt must have heard them as well because he froze and looked in the direction of the sound.
I watched as his face lit up in delight; a look I had yet to see from him.
“Dad!!” He yelled excitedly.
I looked in the same direction and my entire heart fell deep into my stomach.
His father, the man of the house, was none other than Gavin Landry.
Judy’s POV
“Adam, how could you just let anyone walk into my home?s there no longer an order for this household? You also left her alone with my son. What were you thinking?”
Matt had already gone over to his father, and I was standing there, my eyes glued to Gavin’s. I couldn’t believe that he was the man of this household. What kind of trick was the cruel fate playing on me? Why couldn’t I shake this man?
Gavin patted his son’s head before stepping around him and closer toward me. His eyes were dark, and I could see he was unhappy that I was at his villa.
“I thought I made myself clear that we aren’t to meet again Miss Montague,” he said firmly. “Showing up house is a bit ridiculous, don’t you think?”to my
My face burned from the embarrassment I felt. I quickly realized that he was misunderstanding why I was there. He thought I was there to seek him out, but in reality, I was only there because of the job that was posted on the werewolf job board..
“You have nothing to say?” Gavin asked after a short while I was too stunned to speak; this was the last thing I expected. I knew that this was Gavin’s pack, and I probably should have realized that a villa this size belonged to the Alpha, but I had no idea Gavin had a son..
Only his daughter, Irene, is known to the media; his son is a secret, and I couldn’t help but wonder why that was.
He turned to look at Adam who was red in the face and seemingly very confused by this encounter. I don’t think he knew I was familiar with the Alpha, and he was trying to work out the unfolded events in his head.
“Escort Judy off my property this instance and make sure she doesn’t return again,” Gavin ordered before his gaze found mine again.
His eyes had gotten darker, almost black, and for a second, I watched as he scanned my body. I was wearing a pair of workout shorts and a white crop top. I wanted to wear something comfortable and something I could easily move in. But the way his darkening eyes were staring at me almost studying me, I felt a sense of unease. It was as if I was standing naked in front of him, I was feeling warm all over and I knew my face was probably as red as a cherry.
His eyes landed on my exposed belly briefly and I could see his nostrils flaring as his gaze lowered, fixating on my bare legs. I licked my lips as heat flowed evenly throughout my body. He finally lifted his gaze and met my eyes again, his eyes still dark and brewing.
I found myself unable to look away from him, stuck in some kind of hypnotic trance. His eyes were keeping me captivated and my heart hammered against my chest.
“Alpha, I believe there is a misunderstanding ” Adam said, breaking through my trance and bringing me back to reality. “I apologize for not speaking sooner.”
“I’m not here for you, Alpha Gavin. I’m here because you posted a job opportunity as a tutor. I have plenty of experience and skills to get the job done. I was invited here by your butler, however, I wouldn’t have come if I knew you were the master of this house,” I told him, folding my arms across my chest.
I grabbed my bag off the ground as Gavin stared at me, seemingly dumbstruck by my words. I had a copy of my resume in my bag that I was preparing to show him when Adam continued to explain the situation.
“I did tell you that I had a few.candidates coming to the house today, Alpha,” he explained. “Judy was one of those candidates. I spoke to her on the phone this morning. I never listed your name in the ad due to confidentiality. So,it’s likely she had no idea you were Master Matthew’s father.”
I managed to pull out my resume and I stepped towards him to hand it to him. He stared at me for a short while, the look of anger melting off his face and now he was almost looking shameful. I had to bite back the smirk I wanted to give him.
With only slight hesitation, he took the resume and scanned it; his brows pinching together.
“You’ve had warrior training?”
I nodded.
“I’m currently studying warrior training,” I explained. “I’ top of my class in every subject. This tutoring job would be a great addition to my resume.”
He handed me back the resume without saying a word to me, but his eyes scanned me briefly before he shifted his attention to his son. The atmosphere had grown tense, almost awkward. Matt was staring back and forth between me and his father, and I could see the questions lurking in his eyes.
“And what do you want, Matt?” Gavin asked the boy.
Matt looked uneasy for a moment as his eyes met mine. There was a part of me that thought Matt would tell me to get out and that he never wanted to see me again. I wasn’t sure if I actually made an impression on him, or if I was just like any of his other tutors. I was bracing myself for the rejection. But then a smile lit up Matt’s face as he looked at his father.
“I want Judy,” he shocked me by saying.
Both Gavin and Adam looked shocked as well; though, relic flooded across Adam’s face almost as quickly. Gavin raised his brows as he looked at his son.
“You’re sure?” He asked.
He nodded.
“I thought she was just another pretty face. But she’s proved herself, Dad. She’s really good at what she does. I want her to tutor me and train me to be the best,” he said proudly as he glanced at me and then back at his father.
I felt a sense of pride swelling in my chest and I had to stifle a smile. I could see the admiration in Gavin’s eyes a he addressed his son.
He then looked at me and said, “My son doesn’t usually take kindly to tutors. The fact that he likes you speaks volumes.”
My cheeks grew warm. Was that a compliment?
