glared at me .<\/p>\n
I sat on his bed , with my head down .<\/p>\n
Why would you agree to go to that barbeque ? Because Irene asked , I told him .<\/p>\n
Shes my friend , Gavin .<\/p>\n
She needed me to be there \u2026 so Ill be there .<\/p>\n
He sighed , running his fingers through his hair .<\/p>\n
Let me go with you , he said after a moment of pause I stood to my feet and closed the gap between us , wrapping my arms around his neck I like that he wanted to go and protect me , but it wasnt a plausible solution .<\/p>\n
It would only make a scene and reveal our special relationship .<\/p>\n
And how would we explain that ? I asked him .<\/p>\n
We would have to come up with an excuse as to why you are there defending me , Gavin .<\/p>\n
I dont think its a good idea .<\/p>\n
He sighed and wrapped his arms around my waist , pulling me close to him .<\/p>\n
I was invited , you know .<\/p>\n
Im invited every year , but I never attend , he murmured .<\/p>\n
This surprised me .<\/p>\n
I peeked up at him .<\/p>\n
Ifv f you feel like you must attend , then attend .<\/p>\n
But I want to prove to myself that I can handle this on my own without you intervening .<\/p>\n
Plus , I doubt Irene wants your presence there .<\/p>\n
This is supposed to be her moment .<\/p>\n
You being there takes the attention away from her , I told him .<\/p>\n
He nodded and pressed his forehead against mine .<\/p>\n
Youre right .<\/p>\n
I dont like it .<\/p>\n
But youre right .<\/p>\n
But if he gives you any issues- Ill call you , I assured him .<\/p>\n
I stood on my toes and kissed his lips .<\/p>\n
Mr.<\/p>\n
Protective .<\/p>\n
.<\/p>\n
He rolled his eyes , but I could see a hint of a smile on his lips .<\/p>\n
Thats me , he murmured .<\/p>\n
Always the protector .<\/p>\n
He deepened the kiss and then pulled me into his bed where we made love for most of the night before falling asleep .<\/p>\n
Where have you been ? My mother asked as I walked down the steps of the house .<\/p>\n
It was late morning , and I had gotten home a few hours ago from Gavins villa .<\/p>\n
I managed to get a few more hours of sleep before waking up for the day .<\/p>\n
I wanted to get here and act as if I had been here all night before my mother woke up , but apparently , she had noticed my absence .<\/p>\n
I just woke up , I told her , rubbing the sleep out of my eyes .<\/p>\n
You hadnt been home all night , she told me , folding her arms across her chest .<\/p>\n
Dont think I didnt hear you coming home early this morning .<\/p>\n
Youve been like this for weeks , Judy .<\/p>\n
You stay out all night and return in the morning .<\/p>\n
\u03a0 12 Chapter 0132 My cheeks flushed at her words .<\/p>\n
So , she had noticed .<\/p>\n
I bit my lower lip and glanced at the ground .<\/p>\n
She studied me for a moment before her eyes grew wide .<\/p>\n
Are you seeing someone ? She asked .<\/p>\n
What ? No , of course not .<\/p>\n
Is it Ethan ? She suddenly asked , making my blood go cold .<\/p>\n
I could see the hopefulness in her eyes .<\/p>\n
Did you two reconcile ? No , Mom , I told her , bursting her bubble .<\/p>\n
Ethans engaged to someone else \u2026 remember ? She sighed and rubbed her temples as if she were gaining a headache .<\/p>\n
Well , I hoped seeming hes your fated mate and all that you both came to your senses .<\/p>\n
But I guess thats not the case .<\/p>\n
Anyway , we are going to the Cash family barbeque tonight , so just make sure you are on your best behavior .<\/p>\n
I frowned at her and folded my arms across my chest .<\/p>\n
Im not the one you should be worrying about , I told her .<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes .<\/p>\n
Honesty , Judy .<\/p>\n
Its an attitude like that that gets you in trouble , she murmured .<\/p>\n
Im going to ask them for some help paying your fathers debt , so I need tonight to go well .<\/p>\n
My mouth dropped open .<\/p>\n
Mom , we dont need their money , I told her .<\/p>\n
I already told you that Ill take care of it .<\/p>\n
And I appreciate that , sweetie .<\/p>\n
I truly do .<\/p>\n
But your father cant stay another minute in that awful prison .<\/p>\n
My wolf has been taking all the pain hes been feeling and my heart breaks for her .<\/p>\n
We need our mate back and safe and my last hope right now is the Cash family .<\/p>\n
They are rich enough that they could help us .<\/p>\n
It doesnt hurt to ask His family isnt nice , I reminded her .<\/p>\n
Theyve never treated our family kindly no matter how much you and Dad tried to suck up to them .<\/p>\n
They looked at us like we were bottom of the barrel trash and not even worth polishing their shoes .<\/p>\n
That isnt true , my mother told me .<\/p>\n
His mother , Meredith , had always been kind to me and his grandmother as well .<\/p>\n
They are friends , Judy .<\/p>\n
They will help us if asked .<\/p>\n
