**Gavin’s POV**
“Every last lead was investigated, sir,” one of my guards informed me. “They knew nothing about the crime and were shocked she would do such a thing.”
None of them expected this.
Some of them will support her, worried about being banished.
I nodded and tapped my fingers on my desk.
“And that maid is gone?” I asked.
“Yes, Alpha. As you ordered, we escorted her off pack property a couple of days ago.”
“I just sent out a memo to the other Alphas. I told them about her crimes and warned them not to let her into their packs either,” I said, leaning back in my seat.
“Yes, Alpha,” came the reply.
The gamma nodded in agreement. “Is there anything else I can do for you?”
Just as I was about to respond, the door to my office swung open. Taylor stepped inside and stopped short when he noticed the gamma in the room.
“That’ll be all,” I told the gamma. “You are dismissed.”
He nodded and left, giving Taylor a cautious smile as he walked by. Taylor closed the door behind him and turned to face me.
“Any new information?” Taylor asked.
He asked, “What happened?”
“None of the maids know anything,” I whispered. “And the maid who committed the crime is long gone. She’s never coming back to this place again.”
“Perfect,” Taylor replied.
had a sly grin on his face. “She’ll probably be dead by sundown.”
“If we are lucky,” I muttered. “Were you able to speak with Judy?”
Taylor frowned. Suddenly, he looked uneasy. He shifted his weight and avoided my gaze, as if he was hiding something.
Taylor stared at his feet for a moment, avoiding my gaze. I sat up straight in my chair and focused intently on my Beta.
“Taylor,” I said slowly to get his attention. “What happened? Did you or…”
“Did you not speak with Judy?” Taylor asked. He finally looked up to meet my gaze and then nodded.
“Yes,” he replied. “I spoke to her.”
I let out a breath and leaned back in my seat.
“Will she come back to the villa and continue her job as Matt’s tutor?” I asked.
Taylor looked even more uneasy. “I didn’t get a chance to ask her, but from what I heard…”
“No,” he said, looking down at the ground.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked, my frustration growing. “Why wouldn’t she go back to her job now that her name has been…”

Taylor sighed and moved closer to my desk.
“Look,” she said, “she feels wronged, and she has every right to feel that way. She wants you to apologize to her.”
“I shouldn’t have been the one to see her in person,” I thought.
I sank back into my seat. Taylor was right. I shouldn’t have sent him to talk to her. It should have been someone else.
I was the one who kicked her out that night. I made her feel worse than she already did. I had asked her to move in with me, but then I treated her like a criminal. I ignored her all week. I had all these mixed feelings, and I didn’t know how to handle them.
Her calls went to voicemail, and her texts ended up in spam. I realized I was the one at fault, so I asked Taylor to talk to her for me.
“You’re right,” I finally admitted as I stood up.
“I’ll go to her house and talk to her now.”
Taylor looked uneasy again.
“What else aren’t you telling me?” I asked, feeling more annoyed.
“She’s not at her house anymore,” he said.
He said as he pulled out his phone. He swiped through the screen for a minute until he found what he was looking for. “I did some research on my way back here, and it turns out that her mother actually did put…”
The house was up for sale. It sold last week, and they had only a few days to process it.
“What?!” I growled. It seemed the phone conversation I overheard was true. Judy’s mother really did sell their family home, and she forced Judy to deal with it.
She wanted to move away with her daughter. But why would she do that? Was her family struggling financially?
