Chapter 0123 Judys POV I could feel my cheek swelling from the force and the cat in my lip dripping with blood .
The moment he saw the blood on my face , I could see the horror in his eyes .
He released me quickly and stepped back , holding up his hands .
The motion of him holding up his hands though caused me to flinch , which caused hurt to flash in his eyes .
Judy … Im- Dont touch me , I said through my teeth , my voice coming out unfamiliar .
Im … Im so sorry … he said , covering his face with his hands .
I didnt mean to hurt you ….
Just leave … I said , desperate to hold back these tears until he was gone .
He didnt keep me waiting long , he said nothing more as he turned and ran from me .
The moment he was out of sight , I let myself crumble .
Tears flowed down my cheeks , stinging the wound on my lip .
I touched my swollen cheek with my fingertips and winced .
Thankfully , there were no witnesses , but I wasnt going to stick around long enough for anyone to come outside and see my situati I quickly hurried from the back patio .
I didnt bother going back inside ; I thought about saying goodbye to Irene , but the moment she saw my face , she would be questioning me , and I couldnt answer those questions right now .
My entire body was trembling as I made my way around the front of the building .
Walter was my ride and there was no way in hell I was going to find him and have him bring me home .
I reached into my purse and grabbed my phone .
I was about to call for an Uber but then I heard my name and my entire body froze .
Judy ? I knew that voice as if it were my own and I was dreading facing him right now .
I couldnt seem to keep the tears from flowing down my cheeks .
I kept my back towards him , not wanting him to see me weak like this .

I heard the car door opening and then shutting , soon , I was engulfed in the familiar scent as I felt his hands on my shoulders , Electricity pulsated through my flesh from his touch , and I hated that I was drawn to him like this .
What happened ? Gavin asked , his dark tone brewing .
He knew I was upset without even looking at me ; how did he know ? When only the sounds of my sniffles could be heard , he forcibly turned me around .
The concern in his eyes turned into shock when he saw my face .
As his eyes scanned my swollen cheek and the cut on my lip , I saw the fury in his gaze .
Who did this to you ? He asked through his teeth .
It doesnt matter , I murmured , wiping the tears off my cheeks .
I just want to go home .
Was it my nephew ? He asked , ignoring my request to go home .
Chapter 1 When I didnt answer , he let out a low grow .
He already knew the answer without me having to say it .
He grabbed my chin gently and moved my head up , so my eyes were fixed on his I will never let him hurt you again , he said slowly , making sure I caught every word he spoke .
I stared into his eyes for what felt like a long while before I nodded .
Then his lips slowly closed the distance , and he kissedine gently , my heart immediately skipped a beat , and my wolf was on her toes .
His kiss was everything and yet so familiar .
It was at that moment ! realized ; he was the man I kissed inside .
I suppose if he were to have his mask on still , he would resemble Walter .
It was the family resemblance , and felt foolish to not have realized that sooner .
My heart was racing as his tongue slipped out of his mouth and glided across my bottom lip , asking for permission to enter .
Permission that I granted by parting my lips for him .
He wrapped his arms around my waist , pulling me into him , kissing me as if his entire life depended on it The pain in my cheek and my lip slowly faded and I couldnt tell if it was him who was healing me , or my wolf , but regardless , I didnt want him to stop .
I wanted … no … I needed more of him .
Gavins POV After kissing Judy on the dance floor , I went to the host of the Gala and gave her my contribution check before saying goodbye and leaving , I didnt want to be there any longer , especially after watching Judy leaving with Walter , hand in hand .
My driver had already left , not expecting that I would be ready to leave so soon , but I knew Taylor was around the corner and would get there faster than my driver , so I called him and had him pick me up instead .
It didnt take long for Taylor to get there and he knew better than to ask me any questions right now .
Just as we were about to leave , I saw Judy walking down the street from the back patio with her arms wrapped around her trembling body and it looked as if shes been crying I knew at that moment that I wasnt going anywhere without her .
