Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
She was gorgeous and a famous fashion designer.
She was a strong and successful woman ; in another life, maybe I would give Daisy a shot.
But being around her reminded me too much of my wife.
They looked similar enough that it was unsettling.
My mother didnt seem to see it that way though.
I glanced over at Judy, and I saw that she had completely fallen asleep.
Her head was resting on the window and she was breathing heavily.
Im not interested in her, I said in a low tone.
I just want you to be happy, Gavin, my mother breathed, My romantic life isnt your concern, I told her, my voice firmed.
I will see you tomorrow.
Without another word, I hung up the phone.
Turning my attention back to Judy, she was still asleep.
Alpha, we have arrived, Leroy said as he rolled down the window separating the backseat from the front seat.
I nodded and slid out of the backseat, making my way to Judys side, I pulled the door open, catching her before she fell out of the car.
She weighed practically nothing when I lifted her into my arms as she rested her head on my chest and she made a satisfied noise, it went straight to my cockinternally cursed as I walked to her front door.
Her purse was on her shoulder, so I reached inside to grab a set of keys.
I was surprised at how dark her house was ; it was as if nobody else lived there, but I knew at least her mother should be home at this hour.
It was ghostly quiet, and it gave me an eerie feeling.
It didnt take me long to find the staircase upstairs and ever less time to find her room.
The scent of her room drove me in the right direction.
Her room was the perfect figment of who she was as a person.
Her academic awards were showcased on her wall ; her athletic achievements were on her bookcase across the room.
Clothes were scattered across her floor and draped over her desk chair.
She had a nice desktop computer setup and numerous textbooks and notebooks across her desk.
She had a photo of herself with her parents on her nightstand, and she looked so happy.
She also had a photo of herself with her friend Nan who I recognized from Carters Resort.
I didnt bother changing her out of her clothes ; I wasnt going to cross that line.
Instead, I tucked her into bed, making sure the covers were completely on top of her before I left.
You are late, my mother said as I walked into the house.
Im right on time, I told her, glancing at the clock.
If you arent early, then you are late, she told me, raising her brows.
Everyone is in the kitchen already, Dinner will be ready shortly.
Hi, Grandma, Irene said as she stepped around me and into the house.
My mothers face softened as she reached her arms out and wrapped my daughter in a hug.
Oh, Irene sweetie.
I thought you were going to be too busy to join us this evening.
Im so glad youre here, she breathed.
I wanted you to officially meet my fianc? , she said, motioning for Ethan to step beside her.
Ethan stepped closer and gave my mother a polite smile.
Its an honor to finally meet you, Mam, he said, bowing is head in respect.
My mother chuckled and put a hand on his cheek in a warm gesture.
Hes quite handsome, my mother said to Irene with a sly wink.
Irene blushed and wrapped her arm through Ethans, resting her head on his shoulder.
My mothers eyes found Matt and she smiled sweetly at him.
Hello, Matthew.
You are looking rather handsome yoursel, she added, motioning for Matt to come with her.
He looked up at me with uncertainty on his face.
He doesnt often come to my mothers house, but I insisted he come along for this dinner.
I gave him a short nod and followed my mother through the living room and into the kitchen.
I motioned for Irene to do the same.
She took Ethans hand and pulled him along with her.
I sighed and followed the kids into the kitchen.
The moment I stepped into the kitchen, I wished I could have turned around and walked back out.
Gavin, youre here ! Daisy exclaimed as she walked around the table to greet me.
Beta Taylor was also there ; he was often invited to my mothers family events because hes been pretty much family my entire life.
I gave him a stern look and he gave me an apologetic smile for not warning me that Daisy was going to be here.
She immediately wrapped her arms around me and hugged me ; I shimmed out of her embrace.
What are you doing here, Daisy? I asked, not bothering to hide the edge in my voice.
I invited her, my mother said, beaming up at Daisy.
I thought we already discussed this, Mom, I said through my teeth, my anger rolling off me in waves.
You know your mother and I have always been close friends, Daisy said, batting her lashes at me.
Me being here isnt any different than Beta Taylor being here, Gavin also assumed you would have come to your senses since the last time we spoke.
She folded her arms across her chest.
How about we just sit down for dinner, my mother suggested, ushering Daisy to her seat.
