Chapter 0016 Judy's POV I was stunned to see Ethan standing before me, next to Irene. My wolf instantly hid herself in the furthest part of my mind, closing herself off from even me.
"Ethan?" Irene said again, touching his arm. He was busy glaring atwith dark eyes to notice that his fiancé was trying to get his attention. But once she touched his arm, he blinked a few times as if he remembered where he was and who he was with He finally looked at her and saw the worry on her face.

His words were like a slap in the face. 2 years together and that was what we resorted to. Strangers? Irene still looked uncertain; I could see it on her face. I was too stunned and hurt to say anything. My eyes wouldn't move from Ethan's as he consoled his fiancé. My heart was bleeding at the sight of them. "Éthan was probably just surprised that I brought a woman back to my home," Gavin said, intervening.
I was brought back to the current moment and finally pulled my gaze away from Ethan and looked up at Gavin. He was calm and his eyes were fixed on Ethan as he spoke, almost like a silent warning.
Understanding flashed in Irene's eyes, and she finally turned her attention to me. Her blue eyes shined with curiosity and a kindness I wasn't expecting.
"My father never brings his girlfriends home, so I understand Ethan's confusion. You must be very special. I apologize for the strange introduction. I'm Irene Landry, and this is my fiancé Ethan Cash." I forced a smile, not wanting her to get the wrong impression. It wasn't her fault Ethan was a cheat, and she seemed like a sweet enough girl. The least I could do is put in seffort, especially if I'm going to be hanging around here for a while tutoring Matt.
"It's nice to meet you," I said cautiously. "I'm Judy Montague." 1 "Montague?" She asked, her brows pinching together. "That last nsounds familiar, Where have I heard it before? "My father is Reggie Montague," I answered. "The Delta of the Redmoon pack." "Oh, right!" She exclaimed, and then her face paled. "I've heard what happened with his company. I'm so sorry for you and your family." I nodded. I really didn't want to talk about my family's issues with the woman muy mate leftfor.
She seemed to understand that my silence meant I wasn't comfortable with this topic, so she cleared her throat and looked up at her father.
"Dad, where did you find this stunning young woman? I didn't know you were in a new relationship," Irene said, putting her hands on her hips. "Why didn't you tell me?" "I'm not in a relationship with Miss Montague," Gavin said sharply. "She's Matt's new tutor." Irene's eyes went large.

I'm hoping she'll stick around for a while." "A tutor, huh?" Ethan said, his eyes finding mine. "Isn't that something?" Something in his eyes madeuneasy; he almost seemed hopeful and excited upon hearing that I wasn't here as Gavin's girlfriend, but only as Matt's tutor.

"You should start considering your wedding date to ensure that neither of you has any entanglements and that you are both devoted to each other," Gavin said, his eyes fixed on Ethans,
Ethan paled upon hearing his words; I understood the double meaning. Gavin knew about my history with Ethan and that was his fated mate. His words were a warning, and considering the look Ethan was giving him, Ethan also understood the meaning. Irene only smiled and wrapped her arm around Ethan's.
"Oh, we are definitely devoted to each other," Irene said, beaming. "Ethan is the best guy I've ever been with.
Did I even show you what he bought me?"
She untangled herself from Ethan's arms and reached into the collar of her dress, pulling out a gorgeous golden necklace with a purple m pendant, encased in small diamonds It was the very snecklace I saw in the window at the high-end jewelry store last year. It was incredibly expensive, and I asked Ethan if he could buy it foron multiple different occasions. But he always brushed it off and gotsomething else.
