Chapter 7

Chapter 0007 But just as I was about to pull up Nan’s contact, a message appeared Ifrowned when I saw Ethan’s name flashing on the top of the screen. Sighing when I read the words he sent me.

Ethan: How dare you leave with another man! You truly are a slut!!

I opened the message and gasped Ethan: You’ll spread your legs for anyone for money. Have you always been this shameless?

Ethan: Maybe if I gave you money, you’d spread your legs for me in the 2 years I’ve wasted on you.

I flinched at his words; 2 years he’s wasted on me?

My wolf whimpered in pain from the cruelty of our mate, and tears immediately filled my eyes as I sat on my bed.

Then, another message popped up.

Ethan: He’s never going to care for you like I do! He hasn’t had a serious relationship in 20 years. You could never be anything to him besides a desperate slut. When you come to your senses, I’ll be here, waiting. Your father could be out of jail tomorrow if you take me up on my offer.

I pressed my lips together as tears ran down my cheeks. I was seconds away from throwing my phone across but then a new message appeared. I was relieved to see that this message was not from Ethan.

room, Nan: Are you okay? You left so suddenly.

Me: Sorry, I don’t think I can do this job anymore. It’s too much and I feel gross. I hope you aren’t mad.

Nan: I’m not mad. I kind of figured you wouldn’t want to continue working here after today. You are better than this place. Did you leave with Ethan?

Me: No. I got a ride with someone else.

I wasn’t sure if I should tell her that Gavin was the one who dropped me off at home.

Nan: Who?

I didn’t want to lie to her, so I started to type in a response, but then she texted again.

Nan: Tell me later; we just got a huge rush of people.

I sighed and typed a quick response.

Me: Okay, talk soon.

I threw my phone at the end of my bed and rested my head on my pillow. I knew with certainty that it would be yet another restless night.

Third Person POV Ethan stared in the direction that the car went; it was Gavin Landry, Irene’s father, and the man that Ethan so desperately wanted to impress. Yet, his mate just got into the car with him and drove off.

Did that just happen?” Ethan’s friend asked, equally shocked. None of them expected Judy to be telling the truth about getting together with Ethan’s future father–in–law. But her getting in that car casually was proof enough.

Chapter 0007 +25 BONUS This was not supposed to happen; Judy was supposed to take Ethan up on his offer. That was the whole point of Ethan’s plan.

He knew when he married Irene, he would lose Judy and the only way he could get Judy to stick around was to blackmail her using the only thing he could against her... her family.

Bankrupting her father’s company was easy considering he had connections everywhere. Ethan’s family was very well known and now that he was the candidate for becoming the Alpha of the Redmoon pack, he had even more connections.

He thought Judy would have jumped at the opportunity to save her family. But she was stubborn.

When Ethan found out Judy worked at this restaurant, he brought his friends along to scare her away from this job but that also didn’t work out as planned.

He pulled out his phone and made a call.

“Cut off all of Judy’s job opportunities. I don’t want her working anywhere around here,” he ordered into the phone.

“Are you sure? Miss Montague has quite a few applications around town,” the man on the other end stated. “They are pretty good positions too and her applications are flawless.”

“Get rid of them all,” Ethan.ordered. “She isn’t to get any of those jobs. Understood?”

‘But-

“I’ll pull my family’s sponsorship from your business and ruin you if you don’t do as I say!”

There was a moment of pause on the other end before he said, “Yes, sir.”

The call was cut off and a slow smile spread across Ethan’s lips. It won’t be long now before Judy grows so desperate that she crawls into his bed, begging to be his mistress.

Meanwhile, as Beta Taylor drove away from Judy’s house, He peered through the mirror at Gavin who was staring out the window with a tense expression. He had been quiet since dropping Judy off at her house. When they saw her arguing with Ethan outside of the restaurant, Gavin ordered his Beta to stop driving immediately and he did so. It was a strange reaction for someone who claims to not care for the girl.

“Why don’t you pursue her?” Taylor asked as he fixed his attention back on the road.

Gavin looked at him and furrowed his brows.

“What?”

Taylor smirked.

“I see the way you look at her, Alpha. You are clearly more interested in her than you have been with the others. So, why not pursue her?”
