Chapter 27

Chapter 0027 Judy’s POV “I told you,” Adam said, folding his arms across his chest. Not only did she fail in her task at getting him to accomplish any of his schoolwork, but she’s also encouraging his distraction. She should be fired right away, and I’ll post the job once again on the werewolf job board.”

I was shocked by what Adam was saying, when I first met him, I thought he was kind and genuinely wanted me around. But now it seemed he was trying to get me fired. I’m not sure what I had done to him to deserve this type of treatment, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t kind of hurt by it.

“Is this true?” Gavin asked, his eyes fixed on mine.

I looked up at him, my lips pressed in a thin line. I knew my cheeks were probably red because I could feel the heat in them, but ignored it and turned towards the table where we left Matt’s schoolwork.

“See for yourself,” I said, grabbing the papers and handing them to Gavin.

Gavin grabbed the papers and looked them over; his brows raising in surprise.

“This is Matt’s handwriting,” he said thoughtfully as he went through each of the assignments we had done. “He did all of this?”

I nodded, folding my own arms across my chest as I glared at Adam whose face immediately paled. “Yes,” I answered, my eyes never leaving Adam’s “Matt did all his schoolwork and got a bit of studying in. I believe there is such a thing as balance in a young boy’s life. All work and no play can lead to quick burnout and lack of focus. Matt did his assignments, and I rewarded him with some gameplay as I promised him earlier.”

I pulled my eyes away from Adam to look at Gavin who was watching me, a perplexed look on his face..

“Matt lacks companionship, Alpha Gavin. This is what is leading to his rebellious side. When you spend time with him, he’s actually a sweet and caring young boy.”

Gavin raised his brows as he set the schoolwork on the table “Are you trying to teach me how to raise my son?” He asked “Of course not,” I told him. “But perhaps punishing him without truly knowing the reasoning behind his actions is redundant. Even for you, Alpha.”

He opened his mouth to say something but then I felt the starf around my neck slipping down my shoulders. I scrambled to recover the scarf, but it was too late, Gavin was glaring at my neck where the hickey was. His eyes were dark, and his nostrils flared at the sight of it.

“It’s not what it seems,” I murmured as I quickly put the scarf around my neck. I wanted to explain to him what had happened, but I couldn’t tell him the full story. Gavin had already wanted me to stay away from Ethan because he was to marry Irene. He wanted Irene to have a nice life with Ethan without nie intervening. If I told Gavin that Ethan was the one who gave me the hickey, he would never believe that I didn’t want it. He would never believe. that Ethan practically forced himself on me.

He would think that I went after him and seduced him. He would never see it from my point of view.

“It doesn’t matter,” Gavin muttered; he was clearly irritated for whatever reason. I wasn’t entirely sure why, but it was clear in his eyes and in his tone. “Just make sure you better handle your private life. I don’t need that around my son. Understood?”

I nodded and bit my lower lip.

He turned to glare at the butler.

“You told me that Judy failed to complete her mission for the day but so far, I’ve seen that she’s completed her mission and then some. How dare you spread such false rumors, Adam,” Gavin barked, making Adam flinch.

“...uh...” he stammered, unsure of what to say.

“You aren’t to speak in my presence for a month,” Gavin steered. “Now get out of my face.”

“y...yes Alpha,” Adam said shakily as he quickly retreated out of the room, his head hanging low in defeat.

I tightened the scarf around my neck and when I was sure it wouldn’t slip again, I straightened my posture to look up at Gavin.

“I should get going; it’s getting late, and my mother is probably wondering where I am,” I told him.
