Judy's POV

Whatever Taylor had said made Gavin's demeanor completely change. One

minute he was holding me and peppering my temple with soft kisses, and the next he was sitting up straight, his entire body rigid. I could feel the tension rolling off him in waves, and it put me on alert.

I sat up with him, trying to figure out his expression. He was quiet as he listened to whatever Taylor was saying; his face became stony.

"The Moon Gem belongs to my mother," he said through my teeth. "It's always been an important family heirloom. Why the fuck would she auction it??"

There was a pause, but I knew whatever Taylor was saying wasn't an answer because I could see the frustration, confusion, and anger on Gavin's face. I could feel his emotions as if they were my own.

"Clear my schedule for this Saturday. I'm going to that auction," Gavin said, a harsh bite in his words. "I'll be damned if I allow Levi that gem."

Without another word, Gavin hung up the phone. His grip on the phone was so tight, his knuckles grew white; I almost worried that he would break his phone before he finally released it, allowing it to fall on the bed.

I rested my head on his arm, not wanting to be too invasive, but I also really wanted to know what had my mate so upset. I knew he didn't love the fact that Levi was so close to his territory and that he's apparently after his family heirloom, but that shouldn't cause this amount of anger? Should it?
