Chapter 27
Judys 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 shes also encouraging his distraction .
She should be fired right away , and Ill 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 .
Im not sure what I had done to him to deserve this type of treatment , but Id be lying if I said I wasnt 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 Matts 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 Matts 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 Adams Matt did all his schoolwork and got a bit of studying in .
I believe there is such a thing as balance in a young boys 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 , hes 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 .
Its 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 couldnt 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 didnt 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 doesnt matter , Gavin muttered ; he was clearly irritated for whatever reason .
I wasnt entirely sure why , but it was clear in his eyes and in his tone .
Just make sure you better handle your private life .
I dont need that around my son .
Understood ? I nodded and bit my lower lip .
+75 BONUS Chapter 0027 Understood , I replied .
He turned to glare at the butler .
You told me that Judy failed to complete her mission for the day but so far , Ive seen that shes 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 arent 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 wouldnt slip again , I straightened my posture to look up at Gavin .
I should get going ; its getting late , and my mother is probably wondering where I am , I told him .
