Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
You were the best decision we had ever made.
I love being your adopted mother and Im so sorry this is happening.
I sniffled and wiped my moist cheeks.
Its not your fault, I assured her, knowing just how true that was.
It was Ethans fault ; I didnt trust him or his family and now my mother was a victim to them.
There was nothing I could do about it, which was even worse.
After a moment, my mother opened the bathroom door and stepped into the hallway.
Gavin wasnt anywhere near the bathroom, and I was relieved by that because it meant he hadnt heard the conversation.
I followed my mother out of the bathroom and down the hallway until we reached the parlor ; we heard the voices of the Cash family as they spoke every excuse known to man to Gavin about how I got Injured.
1 couldnt help but roll my eyes.
When we entered, the conversation started to subside as their attention was fixed on me.
Oh, Judy, youre back, Meredith said as she rushed over to me, acting like she cared.
How are you feeling? Hows your hand? Im so sorry about what happened.
Its okay, I murmured, glancing at Gavin who only looked pissed.
He could see through it as well and I was relieved by that.
How about you get back to your room and rest for the evening, she told me.
1 I looked at my mother and she gave me a faint smile.
I nodded.
Okay, I murmured.
Good night.
I turned and left the parlor but as soon as I stepped out and the door shut behind me, it reopened and then shut.
I turned and saw Gavin following me, his eyes dark with rage.
Youre living with me whether you like it or not.
I dont want you here any longer, he told me, fully expecting that I would put up a fight, but I had already made up my mind.
I nodded.
Okay, I told him, defeated.
His expression softened and he looked almost surprised.
Okay, then, he murmured.
And your mother- Shes staying here, I told him, stopping whatever he was about to say.
It was her choice.
She doesnt want to come..He raised his brows.
Are you sure? Shes made up her mind, Gavin, I told him.
But if we leave … you have to promise me that youll make sure they treat my mother with respect and kindness.
Dont let this … I held up my injured hand.
… happen to her too.
H His eyes darkened and he nodded.
Ill speak with them, he said without hesitation.
They wont lay a finger on her.
I was relieved to hear that, and I turned to walk back to the servants quarters, but he grabbed my arm to stop me.
Pack your things.
Beta Taylor will be by tonight to grab you.
Tell them youre staying with a friend going forward.
Gavins POV
After Judy went back to her room, I returned to the parlor where Richard was speaking with his wife.
They both looked nervous as they discussed what they were going to do If I did happen to pull my funding.
Without my funding, they would go bankrupt and they would lose almost everything.
They would have to use the profits from their business to pay back the money I invested.
I turned to Michelle and gave her a small smile ; she watched me warily and I knew she was only worried for her daughter.
How about you rest as well? I need to speak with the cashs alone for a moment, I told her softly.
She nodded and soon, she left.
I turned to the Cash family, my eyes narrowed.
Richard silenced his conversation and then turned to Kelsey.
Leave us, he ordered.
She pressed her lips in a thin line and folded her arms across her chest.
Can I stay? She asked him.
No, he said firmly and without hesitation.
We need to speak with Alpha Landry alone.
She pouted, but she didnt argue any further.
She soon left, but not before batting her lashes up at me and winking.
I recoiled at the sight and remained quiet until she was gone.
I turned to face Richard and Meredith who both looked small as they stared back at me.
Im not pleased with what I had seen here tonight, I said to them.
I felt like I was scolding a couple of children.
How can I allow my daughter to marry into a family I cannot trust? You can trust us, Alpha, Richard assured me.
