Chapter 495

Judy's POV

I wanted to leave, despite Gavin's protests. I didn't want to go home though. So, after a back and forth, he decided to bring me to the mansion. Now that Sammy and Ethan had been caught, he figured it was safe enough for me to return to the mansion and stay with Irene.

She was overly thrilled to see me.

On our way, I texted Nan and gave her a briefing of what happened, so I wasn't surprised when she met me there and wrapped me in her arms. I was majorly confused about the events of today and my wolf's reaction to Ethan and Sammy. She felt betrayed all over again, not just by our mate this time, but someone she thought was a friend. Her instincts were usually better than that, but in this case, we were wrong about being able to trust her.

I felt manipulated and lied to and all I really wanted to do was curl up on the couch with a couple of people I knew I could trust and vent about it.

Gavin didn't want to leave me at first, but after he saw that I was surrounded by friends, he relaxed.

"I'm a phone call away if you need anything," he tells me, his voice was kept gentle.

As he left, I couldn't help but stare after him. I was a bit confused about what our relationship was now. I didn't get why he's been so tentative with me, and I wondered if it's because he was feeling the same way I was feeling. I knew at the start that Gavin Landry doesn't' do relationships. At least not since the passing of his wife, Irene's mother. I knew what I was getting into, and I had to respect that, but when he treated me like this... like I was made out of glass and he had to protect me, it was hard for me to remember those boundaries.
