Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
No, I lied.
Its just been a long day, and you should probably spend some time with your family.
They need you more than I do.
Judy- Ill see you later, Gavin, I said quickly just as I rushed out the front doors of the Villa.
Luckily, the driver was waiting outside and when he saw me running out the door, he opened the back door of the car for me.
I smiled through my tears, grateful for Leroy.
Are you returning home? He asked me..
I nodded and slid into the backseat of the car.
He shut the door and ran around to the drivers side, getting into the car.
Gavin stood at the doorway, watching me as the car drove off.
He didnt bother coming after me and it hurt a little more knowing that he cared so little about me that he didnt bother to stop me from leaving By the time I got home, I was exhausted.
I thanked Lerby and slid out of the car.
I made my way into the house, and I froze when I saw my mother seated on the couch beside Ethans mother, Meredith.
They were both sipping on tea and chuckling about something.
My heart nearly fell into my stomach when they both turned to face me.
Well, look who decided to bless me with her visit, my mother said sarcastically.
Where have you been? Its been days since I last saw you.
I blushed and glanced at the ground.
Ive been spending the nights with Nan, I lied.
Both ladies raised their brows ; they both saw me leaving the party with Gavin the other night and then neither saw me again after that.
I knew they were suspicious after Gavin caused a scene in front of everybody, making it a point to protect me the entire evening.
So, youve made up your mind then? My mother asked, a flash of disappointment crossing her face.
You are going to be living with her? I hadnt even thought about it honestly, I completely forgot that my mother was planning on selling the house.
I … uh, Im not sure, I told her, glancing at the ground sheepishly.
Thats too bad, Meredith said, her eyes flashing with mischief.
We would have welcomed you our home with open arms.
So, its official then? I asked, my eyes never leave my mothers.
You are selling the house? She sighed and met my eyes, sorrow in her gaze as she nodded.
The deal has already been made.
Meredith just brought me the contract.
One of her friends is interested in the house and purchased it with cash.
We are moving in a couple days ….
Gavins POV
I was hesitant for a moment as I stood outside the closed door.
This was ridiculous, I shouldnt be this nervous.
But I couldnt get Judys words out of my head.
Why would I want this for my own daughter? It was obvious Ethan wasnt serious about his mating with her, so why should I allow it to happen in the first place? I was Gavin Landry, the Lycan Chairmen and a powerful Alpha.
If I wanted something, I could get it in a heartbeat.
But the thought of losing my daughter over this made me feel even more unsettled.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
I waited a few heartbeats before the door slowly opened and Irene stood on the other side.
She looked up at me with a wary expression ; her eyes were red, so I know shes been crying.
I hated that she was in pain, and I could only blame Ethan for this.
He was hurting my daughter, and I would make sure he paid for these crimes.
We need to talk, I told her before I could back out..
She sighed and stepped away from her door so I could enter her room.
It was dark and she hadnt cleaned up in what looked like days.
Im really tired, can it be fast? She asked as she made her way over to her bed.
I shut the door behind me and stepped further into her room..
Its about Ethan, I told her, making her entire body still.
She glanced up at me, her eyes narrowed.
What about him? I ran my fingers through my hair.
Are you sure you truly want to marry him, Irene? I finally asked.
He makes you miserable and- He doesnt make me miserable, Daddy, Irene said, standing to her feet and folding her arms across her chest.
Hes the only one who makes me happy.
I raised my brows.
Then why are you locking yourself in your room? I asked her.
She rolled her eyes.
Im just going through something … she murmured.
It has nothing to do with Ethan.
She was lying ; I could tell easily.
Irene, whatever it is, you can talk to me.
Im your father and- Oh, now you want to pretend like youre a caring father? Irene spat, taking me by surprise.
You have never been there for me or Matt.
