Judys 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 at me with 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 .

Do you know this woman ? She repeated .

Uh , no , he said , shaking his head and clearing his throat Sorry , Im not sure what just happened .

Ive never met her before .

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 wouldnt move from Ethans 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 Irenes eyes , and she finally turned her attention to me .

Her blue eyes shined with curiosity and a kindness I wasnt expecting .

My father never brings his girlfriends home , so I understand Ethans confusion .

You must be very special .

I apologize for the strange introduction .

Im Irene Landry , and this is my fiancé Ethan Cash .

I forced a smile , not wanting her to get the wrong impression .

It wasnt her fault Ethan was a cheat , and she seemed like a sweet enough girl .

The least I could do is put in some effort , especially if Im going to be hanging around here for a while tutoring Matt .

Its nice to meet you , I said cautiously .

Im Judy Montague .

1 Montague ? She asked , her brows pinching together .

That last name sounds 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 .

Ive heard what happened with his company .

Im so sorry for you and your family .

I nodded .

I really didnt want to talk about my familys issues with the woman muy mate left me for .

She seemed to understand that my silence meant I wasnt 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 didnt know you were in a new relationship , Irene said , putting her hands on her hips .

Why didnt you tell me ? Im not in a relationship with Miss Montague , Gavin said sharply .

Shes Matts new tutor.

Irenes eyes went large .

Chapter 0016 Another tutor ? Irene asked .

What number is that ? 40 ? 49 , Gavin murmured .

But I believe this one will be different .

Your brother seemed to have taken a liking to Judy .

Im hoping shell stick around for a while .

A tutor , huh ? Ethan said , his eyes finding mine .

Isnt that something ? Something in his eyes made me uneasy ; he almost seemed hopeful and excited upon hearing that I wasnt here as Gavins girlfriend , but only as Matts tutor .

Gavin cleared his throat , his eyes dark as he glared at Ethan 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 I 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 Ethans .

Oh , we are definitely devoted to each other , Irene said , beaming .

Ethan is the best guy Ive ever been with .

Did I even show you what he bought me ? She untangled herself from Ethans arms and reached into the collar of her dress , pulling out a gorgeous golden necklace with a purple pendant , encased in small diamonds It was the very same necklace 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 for me on multiple different occasions .

But he always brushed it off and got me something else .
