He nodded.
“My driver, Leroy, is out front. Have him take you home,” He offered.
I shook my head.
“It’s okay, I’ll grab an Uber,” I told him as I pulled my phone out of my bag. He pu
put his hand over my phone screen, preventing me from using it.
“Don’t spend your money on a ride when I’m offering you one for free,” he said calmly. “Leroy remembers your address from yesterday. Let him take you home.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat and then I nodded thoughtfully.
“Okay, thank you,” I replied.
I turned to Matt who was staring between us with wide eyes. I wondered what was going through his young mind at that moment, but he seemed to snap out of it when he noticed me staring at him.
“I’m leaving now,” I told him. “But I will be here around the same time tomorrow. I have classes in the morning, and you have school until the afternoon.”
He nodded and I could tell from the pout he gave me that he didn’t want me to leave.
“Make sure you clean up your mess and get plenty of rest tonight,” I instructed. “You’ll need it for our training session.”
“Okay,” he murmured. “Bye, Judy.”
“Bye Matt,” I retorted, giving him a small wave before glancing back at Gavin.
He was still fixated on me. I nodded at him, not sure what to say, as I stepped around him and headed out of the villa.
Third Person POV
Gavin watched as Judy walked out of the Villa. For some reason, seeing the hickey on her neck thoroughly irritated him. It was a feeling he couldn’t quite understand, but he didn’t like seeing it on her. He remembered when he left his own marks on her body and there was a small satisfaction in his chest. But those markings faded to the point where they couldn’t be seen, and it was replaced by the markings of another.
Who was the man that left a hickey on her neck?
On second thought, it was probably better if he didn’t know
“Why are you so mean sometimes?” Matt asked, bringing Gavin out of his thoughts.
Gavin blinked a couple of times before looking down at his son, a frown decorating his lips.
“I wasn’t mean,” Gavin denied.
Matt rolled his eyes and slumped down on the couch.
“Yes, you were,” he murmured. “We were having a good day, and she left upset.”

Gavin raised his brows as he watched his son. For a moment, he wasn’t sure what to say. He sighed and decided to sit on the couch beside him. It’s been a while since he spent any real time with Matt; the words of Judy kept replaying in his mind about how Matt needs companionship. He wondered if her words were true.
“You had a good day?” Gavin asked him.
Matt nodded, his eyes remaining on the ground.
“Yes,” he said softly.

“I’m assuming you like your new tutor?” Gavin asked him.
Matt seemed to brighten as he looked up at his father.
“Yes, I do! She’s really nice, Dad, and super cool. She’s really good at warrior stuff, she’s book smart, and she plays video games. She also ate dinner with me tonight. I liked having her around,” Matt gushed. “I wouldn’t mind if she became my new mom!”
Gavin’s eyes widened upon hearing his son say that.
‘Shut up,” Gavin said, shaking his head and avoiding his son’s eyes.
“I’m serious, though,” Matt said, grabbing Gavin’s arm. “I had a mom like Judy, I would be so happy. She’s going to teach me defense and how to shoot a bow and arrow tomorrow!”
Gavin was taken aback by this; he realized that his son was serious. He truly did admire Judy like a mother figure. Matt then pouted and looked at the ground.
“None of my other tutors ever did stuff like this,” he murmured. “They only cared about impressing you.” Gavin felt for the boy, it was true that his tutors mainly never worked out because all they cared about was impressing the Alpha and getting in his pants. Matt often lashed out whenever he felt he was competing for
attention.
This made Gavin think about Judy’s earlier words.
“Matt lacks companionship, Alpha Gavin. This is what is leading to his rebellious side. When you spend time with him, he’s actually a sweet and caring young boy.”
