Filed to story: Gavin Landry and Judy Werewolf Story
Sometimes I forget that hes just a little boy until moments like these.
My gaze softened and I gave him a small smile as I knelt down in front of him.
It was an accident, I told him, putting my hand on his shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze.
I know you didnt mean to and Im not mad at you, Matt.
Dad is going to be so upset, he said in a low whisper, his gaze shifting downward.
Your father wont have to know a thing, I told him.
I wont say a word to him.
Itll be our secret.
Really? He asked, lifting his gaze to meet mine.
I smiled.
Of course, I told him.
How about you get cleaned up? Im sure the maids will have dinner ready for you shortly He wiped at his cheeks where a couple of tears had fallen and then he gave me a smile as he nodded.
Okay, he said gently.
He turned and walked back towards the villa.
I sighed and stood up, brushing the dirt off my pants.
You are really good with him, Irene said as she walked towards me.
Ive never seen anyone like that with him.
Its no wonder he likes you.
I guess Im just good with kids, I said, shrugging casually.
I turned towards my bag that was resting against a tree nearby.
I grabbed it and started to clean up my stuff, fully aware that Irene was watching my every move..
I think its something more, she said thoughtfully.
He sees something in you that he didnt see in the others.
Its fascinating honestly.
I couldnt help but smile at that thought.oing to call Hes a special little boy and deserves the world, I told her I shouldered my bag and faced her.
Im going an Uber and get going.
Her eyes widened.
? You cant leave with your shirt like that ! She said, staring down at the shirt that was barely hanging on my body.
Thankfully, I was wearing a sports bra underneath, but still … I felt exposed and uncomfortable.
You are barely covered and the last thing you want is a stranger looking at you.
Come with me.
She didnt give me a choice ; she grabbed my arm and pulled me along with her towards the villa.
I didnt bother fighting her ; I let her pull me into the house and up the large stairs, I knew Gavin would be pissed that I was upstairs on their personal floor, but Irene didnt seem to care.
She continued to pull me along with her down the hallway until we reached a door, I assumed was her bedroom.
????She pushed the door open and tugged me along with her until I practically stumbled into the room.
She then proceeded to shut the door behind me.
I wrapped my arms around my body, unsure of what to do or say.
I felt a little uncomfortable in her room and the first scent that slapped me in the face as soon as I stepped foot in here was Ethans.
I stared at the bed that I knew theyd shared numerous times in the past and my stomach twisted at the very thought.
On her nightstand was a picture of her and Ethan holding one another, looking into each others eyes like they meant the world to each other.
I would have to give credit where it was due.
Ethan was a great actor.
I knew he didnt care about Irene ; he was only using her to solidify his role as Alpha It wasnt fair to Irene and a part of me wanted to warn her about him, but it wasnt my place.
It would only hurt her and there was a big chance she wouldnt even believe the I turned away from the picture and watched as she rummaged through her closet.
You really dont have to do this, I told her ; I was seconds away from backing out of this room, not sure how long I could handle being in here any longer.
Nonsense, she told me from over her shoulder.
Its no big deal.
Plus, you cant walk around without a proper shirt.
Third Person POV
Later in the evening, Irene sat curled up on the couch, staring at her phone.
Ethan told her that he would call at 8 pm and now it was 9:30 pm.
She tried calling him a couple of times about a half hour ago, but he didnt answer.
She texted him as well, but her messages were left unread.
He had never disappeared from her like this before and she wasnt sure what to make of it.
Her stomach was in a tight knot, and she couldnt help the bad feeling she had in her chest.
She wishes that she had someone to talk to about this, but she doesnt have any actual friends.
She has some girls that she hangs around once in a while, but Irene was smart enough to know when shes being used.
Most of them only want to hang out with her because of her status as Gavin Landrys daughter ; they either want something from her, or they want to get close to her father.
The closest one she has to a friend right now is Judy and she doesnt have her number.
She isnt even sure if Judy wants to be friends with her.
She wrapped her arms around her body like she was trying to hold herself together.
Everything okay? Her father asked as he walked into the room.
He was wearing his pajama bottoms and no shirt.
It was a rarity for Irene to see her father without a suit on ; he was always well dressed, even if he was just walking around the house, which he never really did.
