C ter 0128 She was quiet for a moment as she took a sip of lier own coffee .<\/p>\n
Theres nothing wrong with being friends .<\/p>\n
I mean , lie has to understand that your fated mate left you for another woman only recently .<\/p>\n
You are still heartbroken , and your wolf is healing , she told me .<\/p>\n
You cant be too hard on yourself , and he cant be too hard on you .<\/p>\n
I bit my lip and stared down at the brown liquid , my cheeks flushing at the memory .<\/p>\n
Why do I feel like theres more to the story ? She suddenly asked , taking in my sour expression .<\/p>\n
Because there is , I murmured , pecking up at her through my lashes .<\/p>\n
He was so angry , Nan .<\/p>\n
I was so scared , and I tried to get away .<\/p>\n
Things were sald\u2026 and lines were crossed .<\/p>\n
Lines were crossed ? She asked and I could feel her rising irritation .<\/p>\n
Did he hurt you ?? I chewed the inside of my cheek , not able to say the words .<\/p>\n
OH , my Goddess ! She nearly screamed .<\/p>\n
He did , didnt he ?! Not so loud , Nan ! I pleaded , grabbing her arm to settle her down .<\/p>\n
I dont want this to get out .<\/p>\n
Im going to fucking kill that asshole ! She hissed and was seconds away from standing up , but I pulled her back down , not wanting her to make any stupid decisions .<\/p>\n
Gavin is already dealing with it \u2026 She froze and stared at me with wide eyes .<\/p>\n
Gavin ? Gavin Landry ? She asked .<\/p>\n
I nodded .<\/p>\n
He saw me walking last night and he pulled over to give me a ride \u2026 I told her .<\/p>\n
It was half the truth b I wasnt going to tell her the entire story .<\/p>\n
He figured out what happened , and he promised me that Walter wont hurt me again .<\/p>\n
She raised her brows and then a smile tipped the corner of her lips .<\/p>\n
Alpha Gavin Landry is protecting you ? She asked .<\/p>\n
My cheeks blushed and I stared down at my hands .<\/p>\n
Yes , I answered , not able to look her in the eyes .<\/p>\n
Why do I feel like theres more to it- I have to get to my next class , I said quickly , jumping to my feet .<\/p>\n
Thanks for the coffee .<\/p>\n
I grabbed my bag and my coffee and hurried towards the doorway .<\/p>\n
Okay , but we arent done with this conversation ! She shouted after me .<\/p>\n
I waved at her without looking at her and hurried to my next class .<\/p>\n
By the end of my last class of the day , I was covered in sweat and exhausted .noveldrama<\/p>\n
I was kind of relieved when Chapter 0120 I didnt run into Nan as I made my way to the front of the school .<\/p>\n
Before I could grab my phone to call for an Uber , a car pulled up in front of me , making me freeze .<\/p>\n
The back window rolled down and Gavin smirked at me .<\/p>\n
Get in , he ordered .<\/p>\n
I opened my mouth to protest , looking around to make sure no one was watching .<\/p>\n
Dont make me beg , he murmured .<\/p>\n
Get in the car .<\/p>\n
My heart skipped a beat , but I did as he said and got into the car .<\/p>\n
Before I could put my seatbelt on , was grabbing me , pulling me in , and his lips were covering mine in a sweet and passionate kiss .<\/p>\n
he Third Person POV A couple of weeks had passed since the Gala and Irene had been a mess .<\/p>\n
Ethan found it hard to maintain her .<\/p>\n
I t believe he just left without saying a word to me , Irene pouted one night as she snuggled into bed with Ethan .<\/p>\n
He literally left the country and said nothing ! Im sure it was because of an emergency , Ethan told her , sighing .<\/p>\n
He will call you when hes ready .<\/p>\n
Its been like that for weeks ; she would cry over her cousin leaving without a word and Ethan would attempt to comfort her .<\/p>\n
Though , his mind wasnt truly in it .<\/p>\n
His mind was with Judy .<\/p>\n
Shes been different these last couple of weeks .<\/p>\n
Ethan had noticed how she was practically glowing .<\/p>\n
Whenever he spotted her , she was either with Gavin , or training with Matthew and Gavin would be sitting outside , watching them .<\/p>\n
Ethan noticed the quick looks that Judy would give Gavin and the small blush that crept along her cheeks .<\/p>\n
He noticed the smirk on Gavins lips whenever their eyes locked .<\/p>\n
Sometimes Ethan would catch them speaking softly to one another but when they noticed him standing nearby , they would break apart and talk only about business .<\/p>\n
It left Ethan feeling unsettled as he watched the two of them together .<\/p>\n
Later that same evening , Ethan went to get Irene and take her out on a date to get her mind off Walters betrayal , but he froze when he saw Gavin and Judy in the corner just in front of the back doors .<\/p>\n
It was clear she had just finished with training and was probably leaving .<\/p>\n
He smiled down at her and Ethans heart fell into his stomach when he watched Gavin tuck a strand of hair behind Judys hair .<\/p>\n
It was a small gesture , but it was still so intimate .<\/p>\n
