“I came to ask you if the news reports are true,” he said, his eyes together?”
My eyes grew large, and I took a step away from him.
With anger and hurt. “Are you and Gavin
“What are you talking about?” I asked him, pretending; not to know a thing.
“Don’t play stupid, Judy,” he said, stepping even closer to he and making me feel even smaller as I stood in front of him. “I saw the news reports last week I saw the picture, are you two truly together? Is that why you want nothing to do with me?”
1 scoffed at him and rolled my eyes.
“I want nothing to do with you because you cheated on me, Ethan. Then, you tried to blackmail me into being your whore. It has nothing to do with Gavin and everything to do with you,” I hissed as I poked my finger in his chest.

His eyes darkened with each jab of my
“Break up with him,” he demanded, making me laugh out loud.
“My relationship isn’t any of your business,” I told him. I was about to turn away again, but he grabbed my wrist This time, it was much harder, and it made me wince in pain. He spun me around to face him, his eyes blaring with fury as he glared at me.
“Everything you do is my business,” he said through his teeth. “Make no mistake, Judy. You are still mine.”
“Fat chance,” I told him in return as I struggled against his hold, wincing as he tightened his fingers around my wrist, bruising me and marking me. “Ethan, let me go…” I said, my voice coming out as a hoarse whisper.
will let you go when I want to let you go,” he said coldly, I’ve been very patient with you, Judy. But my patience had run out and now I want what is rightfully mine.”
“Ehtan…” I just to get him to release me once more, but he only tightened his hold around my wrist. I felt my wrist cracking and I knew he was spraining it. It would heal soon enough thanks of my wolf, but it was hurting badly at the moment. “Let me go, you’re hurting me.”
“Tell me you’re mine,” he demanded, ignoring my pleas.
“Ethan-”
“TELL ME!!”
Just as I was about to grab him and shove him to the ground, Ethan released me quickly and I heard a cracking sound just before blood spilled out of his nose and he fell to the ground, crying in pain.
I stumbled backward, not sure what just happened. I looked up to see Beta Taylor standing nearby with his fist outstretched and he was glaring down at Ethan with fury in his eyes.
“She told you to let go. It probably would have been better if you fiad listened to her,” he said, pulling his fist back. I stared at Beta Taylor with a shocked expression. He jast punched Ethan… for
- me.
“Taylor…?” I whispered, still not believing that he was there.
Beta Taylor looked up at me and his expression softened.
“Are you okay?” He asked.
After a beat of silence, I nodded.

“I… I think so,” I told him, staring down at his red and swollen first and then Ethan’s face. He was still on the ground, covering his clearly broken nose and whimpering as he rolled around the dirty ground.
“Come on, let’s get you out of here,” Taylor said, motioning for me to follow him. I took his hand as he helped me step over Ethan.
“You asshole!” Ethan growled as we started to walk away. “I’m not going to let you get away with this! Do you have any idea who I am!!”
“In case I hadn’t made myself clear the first dozen times, Ethan,” I said, turning to look down at him. “This is over… we are over. Stop following me.”
He growled at me, his wolf close to the surface.
“We are never done,” he hissed.
I sighed and let Beta Taylor escort me to the car. Once I was securely inside, I turned my attention away from Ethan who was still on the ground, fuming in anger. Taylor started to drive off.
“Thank you, Taylor,” I told him.
He looked at me through the mirror and a smile tipped his lips.
“Of course,” he told me. “Gavin would have my head if I didn’t step in.”
I swallowed the lump in my throat.
“Could we maybe keep this between us for now?” I asked. “I don’t want Gavin to worry or be upset. Plus, I don’t want Irene to be hurt even more than she already.”
Taylor was quiet for a moment, but then he nodded.
“Okay,” he finally replied. “It’ll be our secret.”
