Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
This looks delicious, I said before taking my first bite of the delicious salad.
Gavin got a rare steak with mashed potatoes and roasted veggies.
We both ate in silence and gradually sipped on our wine.
When I was just about done, I could feel the wine had gone right through me.
I need to use the restroom, I told him as I slid out of the booth.
Ill be back.
He nodded and I took off towards the bathroom, walking by a stunning woman with auburn hair and the most dazzling green eyes I had ever seen.
As I walked by her, she brushed her shoulder against mine, making me pause.
I briefly wondered if she did that on purpose ; she didnt even apologize ! 1 brushed the thought out of my head though and quickly went to the bathroom.
When I returned, I noticed that Gavin was now standing, and his arms were folded across his chest.
He was speaking to the woman who bumped me a few minutes ago.
She looked upset with him and when I approached, I heard her words clearly.
So, this is why you havent called me back? Because you been with another hussy?? Thats enough, Daisy, he said, his voice low and threatening.
Just answer the question, Gavin.
Are you seeing her? She asked, hurt evident in her tone.
Gavins eyes flickered to me as if he could sense that I was nearby.
Without answering her, he walked over to me.
My eyes grew large as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders and pulled me close.
I was immediately entranced by his scent and warmth ; electricity flared across my flesh from his touch, his face buried against the nape of my neck.
The woman, Daisys, eyes followed him, and she looked utterly pissed.
And if I am? Gavin asked ; I could feel his breath against my cheek and my heart hammered wildly in my chest.
Youll soon tire of her, Daisy sneered, folding her arms across her chest.
You always do and then you come crawling back to me.
How long do you plan on being the third wheel on our date? Gavin asked.
My breath hitched from his words, Daisy scowled.
This isnt over, she muttered before giving me a nasty look and storming off.
As soon as she was out of sight, Gavin released me.
I nearly fell to the ground from how weak my legs were.
I could hardly speak as Gavin walked back to the table and resumed his food as if nothing had happened W …what was that? I stammered breathlessly, hating how weak I sounded.
Gavin glanced at me and shrugged a shoulder.
That was Daisy, he murmured.
Shes a noble Lycan and my late wifes sister.
I was stunned by his remark.
Oh, I managed to say.
My mother has been wanting to pair us together as a second chance for me, he continued.
I didnt want to reject her too bluntly.
Im sorry for using you like that.
My cheeks were still on fire and Im sure he noticed but he didnt mention anything about it.
I nodded in reply and said nothing more.
We finished our meals and Gavin paid.
Gavin had the driver take us back to my house and I thanked him for the meal and the job before I got out of the car and walked to the door.
The car remained until I was inside and then I could hear it driving off.
I let out a breath I hadnt known I was holding.
But the slight relief didnt last long because I could hear my mother speaking to someone in the living room.
The minute I reached the entryway, my entire body froze when saw who was sitting on the couch, chatting away y with my mother.
Judys POV
My mother was smiling for the first time since my father was taken away by pack Gammas.
Oh, Judy.
Good, youre home.
Look who came to visit with us, my mother said, a smile beaming on her face as she looked at Ethan.
He told me that hed be able to help us if you are cooperative with him.
She had a questioning look in her eyes when she looked back at me.
I had told her that Ethan refused to help, but now he was making it seem like I was being uncooperative owards his demands and that was the reason he refused to help.
I could tell he didnt tell her what those demands were, and I wasnt going to tell her either.
It would only break her heart further and I didnt have it in me right now.
I was exhausted after the day I had, and I just wanted to go to bed.
The last thing I wanted right now was to deal with Ethan.
I folded my arms across my chest and glared at Ethan who had a smug smile on his face.
Whats he doing here, Mom? I asked her She frowned at me.
Is that any way to speak? She asked, her brows pinching together.
I raised you better than that, Judy.
Ethan has been a friend of this family for a long time.
Hes your mate hes also offering to help us during our time of need.
You should show him more respect, I pressed my lips together in a thin line.
