“I love you, Irene,” he said softly. “Remember that.”
She hesitated for a moment, unsure of how to respond. Finally, she nodded and gave him a faint smile.
He kissed her gently, feeling a mix of hope and uncertainty.
One last time, she looked back at the car before heading inside the villa. After she left, Ethan drove away toward the northern part of the pack. He drove for a long time until he finally spotted a large mansion.
Ethan pulled up to the house and parked Gavin’s car in the driveway. He was about to step out when he noticed Gavin rushing out of the front door. Gavin’s hair was messy, and his clothes were wrinkled. He was busy trying to fix his shirt as he hurried towards Ethan.
Etan reached his car and quickly disappeared inside.
He froze as he watched Gavin’s car speed away. Gavin was in such a rush that he didn’t even see Ethan’s car parked out front.
Ethan frowned as he looked up at the road, trying to process what had just happened.
Gavin had just left the building. Only one light was on inside, shining from the second floor, facing the rest of the pack. As he glanced back, he noticed a shadow moving along the window. Then he saw something that took his breath away.
Gavin felt a lump in his throat. Was that Judy?
He looked over and saw her staring out the window, gazing in the direction where he had just left. She looked a bit messy, and there was a touch of sadness in her eyes. But then, she turned away.
A few moments later, the light…
Ethan watched as the light faded and Judy’s shadow disappeared. He stared at the window in shock.
What was Judy doing here? And why did Gavin leave her alone in the middle of the night?
With a rush of confusion, Ethan picked up his phone and dialed.
He picked up his sister’s number, knowing she would have all the answers he needed. The last he heard, Judy was living with her best friend, Nan. But he wondered if that was the whole truth.
“Hello,” he said as he dialed.
“Big Brother,” Kelsey said on the other end of the phone. “What can I do for you?”
“Mom told me that Judy went to live with her best friend, Nan,” Ethan replied quickly.
“Did she tell me the truth?”
There was a slight pause on the other end of the line.
“Well, I don’t think any of us really knows where she went,” Kelsey admitted.
“It all happened so fast, and it was really strange.”
“What are you talking about?” Ethan asked, clenching his teeth in frustration. He was feeling more annoyed than ever. “Did she or didn’t she move in with Nan?”
“I…I don’t know,” Kelsey said quickly. “She was packing, and then one of Alpha Landry’s men came with his warriors to get her…”
“What??” Ethan growled, his eyes fixed on the house.
Kelsey stood by the window, her eyes wide with disbelief. “Are you saying she could be living with Gavin Landry?”
“I’m not saying that at all!” Kelsey exclaimed, shaking her head. “Why would someone like her be living with Gavin? She’s a nobody!”

“I’m just saying that his men took her away somewhere. I assume she’s with her friend.”
It was clear that calling Nan for information was pointless. But somehow, Ethan managed to see Judy.
Kelsey looked out the window of the mansion, deep in thought. If what she had just said was true, it meant that Judy might actually be living with Gavin.
Just then, Gavin walked out, looking a bit messy and hurriedly putting on his shirt. This made Kelsey wonder if there was something going on between them. Could they really be involved with each other?
Ethan’s grip on the phone tightened so much that his knuckles turned white. He was furious, and controlling his inner wolf was becoming exhausting.
“I don’t have any more information than that,” Kelsye said, trying to calm him down.
She didn’t need to give him any more details; she had already shared enough. Without saying another word to his sister, he hung up the phone and slammed it down onto the passenger seat.
Now, he had to find a way to get Judy out.
The mansion held many memories for him, especially before he lost her for good. He didn’t want to involve Irene in this situation because he had almost lost her once before when Judy was a concern. But now, he wasn’t sure he had a choice. If Irene found out that Judy was living in the mansion, it could change everything.
Judy stood in the grand mansion, feeling out of place. She knew that someone was determined to make sure she never returned.
Ethan watched her with a smirk on his face. He understood exactly what he needed to do to keep Judy away from the mansion for good.
As plans began to form in his mind, he felt a sense of excitement. The next steps would be crucial.
Once there was a small village nestled between green hills. In this village lived a kind woman named Elara. She was known for her beautiful garden, filled with colorful flowers and fragrant herbs.
Every morning, Elara would tend to her garden, carefully watering the plants and picking fresh herbs for her meals. The villagers often stopped by to admire her flowers and enjoy the lovely scents that filled the air.
One day, a traveler named Leo came to the village. He was tired and hungry after a long journey. When he saw Elara’s garden, he felt a sense of peace. Elara noticed him and invited him to sit in her garden, offering him some fresh bread and herbs.
As they shared a meal, Leo told Elara stories of his travels. He spoke of distant lands and adventures that filled her with wonder. Elara shared stories of her village, the people, and her love for gardening.
After eating, Leo helped Elara with her garden. They laughed and worked side by side, planting new flowers and herbs. By the end of the day, they had created a beautiful patch of vibrant colors.
Before leaving the village, Leo thanked Elara for her kindness. He promised to return one day to see her garden again. Elara waved goodbye, feeling happy to have made a new friend.
From that day on, Elara’s garden flourished even more, and she often thought of Leo and his stories. The village became a little brighter with the memories of their time together, reminding everyone of the power of kindness and friendship.
