Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
Then, my eyes wandered over to Irene and Ethan.
He was introducing her to a few of his friends ; the same friends who had once welcomed me into their circle and treated me kindly.
Now they had given me the cold shoulder and those who I thought were my actual friends stopped taking my phone calls.
The only one who stuck by side through this entire thing was Nan and she never liked Ethan to begin with.
I should have just listened to her when she told me that Ethan was no good and that I deserved better.
Hes my fated mate, Nan ! I had told her during one of our arguments.
I love him.
Hes the one the Goddess had chosen for me.
But I get a bad vibe from him, Judy.
I need you to trust me.
Something is going on with him, she had told me.
I ignored her then.
I didnt know it at the time, but that was when he was actively trying to woo Irene.
My heart ached at the memory, and I let my shoulders sulk slightly.
Look at her … she knows shes no good and now shes lost in thought, Kelsey laughed.
Are you going to cry about it now? I lifted my gaze to meet hers.
Shedding tears over someone as heartless and idioticas your brother would be pitiful, I said through my teeth.
I have too much pride to allow him to damper my mood.
Im glad hes with someone like Irene, maybe she can finally tame him.
As for you, Im not sure anyone can tame you.
Your cruel words disgust me and its a shame to think I spent so long trying to get on your good side.
Im glad Im not marrying into your family.
They all gasped at my words.
You bitch ! Meredith hissed.
Then I felt the cold liquid splashing onto my face and dripping onto my blouse.
I gasped when I tasted the red wine on my lips, and I turned to see Kelsey scowling at me with her empty wine glass.
Sophia laughed and Meredith smirked, folding her arms across her chest.
Dont you ever speak to me like that again ! Kelsey growled.
What exactly is going on here? I heard a deep voice from behind me and my entire body felt like it was on fire as my cheeks burned with embarrassment.
My wolf immediately perked up upon hearing that voice because we both knew who it belonged to.
Judys POV
And who do you think you are? Meredith asked, raising her brows at the man standing behind me.
This is a private party, Sophia chimed in.
You werent invited.
This is a pack party and you are not pack, Meredith added, rolling her eyes.
Hes handsome though.
Maybe he should stay, Kelsey purred, batting her lashes.
My stomach twisted and I fought the urge to growl at her.
I felt a warm hand on my shoulder, and my entire body seemed to immediately respond to the touch.
I felt myself relaxing and releasing a breath I hadnt known Iwas holding.
Are you okay? Gavin asked me.
I glanced up at him and I could see the concern in his eyes.
I nodded at him, despite my heart feeling heavy in my chest.
Oh, please, Kelsey laughed.
Dont tell me you brought a callboy to the pack barbeque.
Thats a new low even for you.
You seriously had to hire someone to be your date this evening? Meredith asked, shaking her head at me.
Thats truly disgusting.
Pardon? Gavin asked, raising his brows.
Gavin was dressed casually, and it made my heart flutter.
He was barely recognizable without his suit, but he was still so handsome.
He also hadnt really been in the media as of late, so it didnt surprise me that he wasnt recognized at first.
I stayed silent, not sure what to say, watching as Ethans family made a fool out of themselves.
Gavin had a deep frown on his lips as he observed the cash family and their treatment of me.
I cant believe she even bothered to show up at all … but with a male prostitute? Sophia asked, her lip curled in disgust.
You are a shameless woman ! Is this how you treat your guests? Gavin asked, his brow raised to his hairline.
With this much disrespect.
Whos responsible for the wine on her clothes? Its honestly fine, I said, grabbing onto his arm.
I think it was a mistake to come here.
I would like to leave now.
Not until I find out whos responsible for this, he said, his voice low and sending warmth to form on my cheeks She deserved it after what she said to me, Kelsey said, folding her arms across her chest.
I bet you didnt know that she was engaged to marry my brother.
He didnt want her, just like her birth parents didnt want her.
You are wasting your time with this one, sir.
