Judy’s POV

I was taken aback by his words. Did he really believe I was so cruel and manipulative that I would intentionally hurt someone just to get what I wanted? The only thing I wanted was to be understood.

All I wanted was to work hard and pay off my father’s debt. I wasn’t looking for anything else, and I definitely didn’t want to hurt anyone. Ethan was already doing enough of that for both of us.

I didn’t have to stand there and…

I let him mock me for too long. I was tired of being treated like I was nothing. Suddenly, I pulled my arm free from his grip and glared up at Gavin, my anger clear in my eyes.

“I don’t want to hurt anyone,” I said.

“I can hang out with your daughter and be friends with her without any hidden motives, Alpha Gavin,” he said firmly. “If you have a problem with me being friends with her, maybe you should talk to her about it.”

“I was the one who invited me out after all.”

I didn’t stick around to hear his reply. Instead, I turned and hurried up the stairs to catch up with Irene. Even as I left, I could feel Gavin’s gaze burning into my back.

I felt a thought lingering in the back of my mind. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment and if he really believed me.

I walked into Irene’s bedroom. She was busy putting together an outfit for me. When she saw me standing in the doorway, she smiled.

“Did your father upset you?” she asked, looking closely at my face.

“No,” I replied, lying. “He was just talking to me about Matt’s studies.”

She nodded thoughtfully and then returned to selecting an item from the shelf.

“Here, put this on,” she said, handing me a white crop top and a pair of Capri jeans. I took them and went into her bathroom. The clothes felt a bit tighter on me than they would have on her.

She was smaller than me, but it didn’t feel uncomfortable. In fact, it was kind of cute. I slipped my shoes back on and brushed my hair, freeing it from the tight restraints. Then, I splashed some cold water on my face and sprayed on a little body spray.

I took some time to freshen up and smell better. Once I felt satisfied, I stepped out of the bathroom to meet Irene. She greeted me with a big smile when she saw me.

“You look amazing,” she said, her eyes lighting up. “You can just put your dirty clothes aside.”

I looked at the dirty clothes in my hamper. “The maids will clean it later,” she said.

I hesitated for a moment, but then I decided to follow her advice. I placed the dirty clothes into her hamper near her closet. Irene wrapped her arm around mine and flashed me a big smile.

“Come on,” she said.

“Come on,” she said, pointing for me to follow her.

I followed her down the stairs. When we reached the bottom, I noticed Gavin talking to his driver, Leroy, near the front door.

Irene frowned and crossed her arms over her chest.

“What are you doing?” she asked, narrowing her eyes at her father.

“Leroy is going to take you girls into the city,” he replied.

“I was planning on…”

“I’m driving my new car,” Irene said with a pout.

“I’m not arguing about this,” Gavin replied, sounding frustrated and clearly not in the mood.

I wondered if he was upset because of our conversation. I chose not to push him any further and decided to let it go for now.

I turned to see Irene, who was clearly upset. It was obvious she didn’t want Leroy to be the one driving us, but it seemed like she didn’t really have any other option.

After a moment, she sighed and decided to follow Leroy outside. I hesitated for a bit, unsure of what to do next.

I glanced back at Gavin, who was watching me. His face showed no emotion, which made me feel a knot of nervousness in my stomach. I didn’t say anything to him. Instead, I turned and followed Irene and Leroy outside.

I climbed into the backseat while Leroy took the driver’s seat.

“Leroy, roll up the window,” Irene said firmly.

Leroy quickly glanced at us in the rearview mirror before he pressed the button to roll up the window.

The divider between the backseat and the front seat gave Irene and me some privacy. Irene let out a deep breath, the kind that made me think she had been holding it in for a while.

“Everything okay?” I finally asked after we had been quiet for most of the drive.

She looked at me, her expression thoughtful.

She looked at me, and I could see the confusion in her eyes.

“I just wanted to get away,” she whispered. “Away from everything and everyone. But it’s hard when my father has his men watching over me.”

“It’s just Leroy,” I told her. “He’s barely watching you.”

She rolled her eyes at me.

“If you think it’s only Leroy, then you’re mistaken,” she said under her breath. “Look behind us.”

I turned around, feeling a bit uneasy.

I looked back at the car following us and raised my eyebrows when I recognized the driver. He was one of the guards I’d seen around the Silver Crescent pack. His passenger was also a guard.

“Are those Gammas?”

I asked, amazed.

She sighed. “Yes,” she said quietly. “He never lets me go anywhere by myself. I’m always being watched. I was hoping that since I’m with you, things would be different.”

“Is that why you wanted me to…”

“Will you come along with me?” I asked, feeling a bit down. I thought she wanted a friend, but it seemed she just wanted to escape without being followed by her father’s warriors.

She looked at me with a frown.
