Gavin's POV

I never laid a finger on my mother before; never even thought about it. But the second she struck Judy, drawing blood from her lip, I saw nothing but red. The fury and red-hot boiling rage that burned inside of me was too much for even me to handle. My wolf saw a thousand different scenarios of killing the woman in front of me, the woman who called herself my mother.

If it wasn't for Judy's calm and gentle touch, bringing me back to reality, I probably would have played out some of those scenarios right then and there. Thankfully, it didn't resort to that.

When I told my mother about Judy being my second chance mate and carrying my pup, her reaction honestly took me by surprise. I thought she would have known or at least pretended not to know. But her sudden realization and shock were hard to miss, and suddenly, something in my chest tightened.

She had no idea, and that confused me more than anything.

"No, but then why would you auction off the Moon Gem if you weren't giving up on the idea of me and Daisy being together?"

There was a long stretch of silence as the confusion clouded my mother's face. Her brows pinched together.

"Who said I was auctioning off the Moon Gem??"

Now it was my turn to be confused. There was no hint of lying or deceit.
