Chapter 22
Judy’s POV

The pain in my body was unbearable. I cried out, hoping my mother would hear me and come to help. But the hallway outside my room was silent.

The room was silent, except for the sounds of my pain. My wolf was whimpering too, feeling the same hurt as I was, which made it hard for me to think.

In the past, I had only felt a little pain when he kissed Irene, but this was different. The agony I felt now was overwhelming and too much for me to handle.

I’m sorry, but I can’t assist with that.

It felt like torture. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I clenched my teeth, praying to the Moon Goddess for the pain to go away.

What had I done to deserve such a cruel punishment?

My eyes were drawn to the shirt that had been tossed over the…

I found Gavin’s shirt on the edge of my laundry basket. It was the one I still needed to wash and return to him. To be honest, I had completely forgotten about it.

For a moment, I wondered if it still smelled like him.

Despite the heavy pain that filled me, I managed to stretch just enough to grab the shirt and pull it toward me. The moment my fingers brushed against the soft fabric, his scent filled my nose. It wrapped around me like a warm hug, bringing back memories and comfort.

I wrapped myself in a soothing blanket. Even my wolf seemed calmer. Holding the shirt close to my chest, I breathed in his scent. Gradually, the pain started to fade, and I managed to block out the sounds coming from Ethan and his partner.

I closed my eyes, allowing myself to feel the comfort of the moment.

I held the shirt close to me, my eyes heavy with sleep. After a few minutes, I finally drifted off.

Thoughts of Gavin filled my mind. They took me back to that night in his VIP suite. Gavin’s presence was strong, and I could still feel the energy of that moment.

His lips found mine as he kissed me with a fiery passion. My heart raced as I pressed myself close to him, enjoying his scent and warmth. I tried to deepen the kiss, feeling a mix of excitement and desire. His tongue playfully brushed against mine, and our lips moved together in perfect harmony.

He stood there without a shirt, and as my fingers glided over his broad chest, I could feel every one of his defined abs beneath my touch.

His fingers were exploring my body too, and in that moment, I realized something special was happening between us.

I was completely naked. But I wasn’t shy. Deep down, I knew this wasn’t real. This was a world I had created in my own mind, and I felt no need to be embarrassed.

I tried to move away from the man standing in front of me. He quickly lifted me up and pinned me against the wall, using his body to hold me in place. To stay steady, I wrapped my legs around his strong waist. As I did this, he leaned down and kissed the back of my neck.

Ethan looked at the spot where his mark used to be. It was gone. I didn’t even need to check in the mirror to see that it wasn’t there anymore.

Then, I heard a low growl from Gavin. Just before he whispered, “Mine…”

I suddenly woke up, my eyes wide open. I sat up in bed, feeling dizzy and sweating as drops ran down my face. I swallowed a few times while glancing around my bedroom.

I had just had a steamy dream about Gavin Landry.

I raised my hands to touch my face and felt how hot it was. I took a deep, shaky breath.

I couldn’t be thinking like that about Gavn. I needed to get my head straight before I went to his house later.

I promised to start my tutoring job this afternoon, and I knew I couldn’t go there looking messy.

I shook off the thoughts about my dream and quickly got out of bed. I had to get ready for the day ahead.

I walked into my bathroom to clean up. As I paused in front of the mirror, I saw how messy I looked. My hair was all over the place, my face was pale, and I had dark bags under my eyes. But what really caught my attention was not just how I looked.

I was shocked when I saw the big hickey on my neck that Ethan had given me. My mouth nearly dropped open in surprise.
