GoodNovelJudy's POV "Miss Judy, I was told to bring you home," Taylor said from the doorway, staring around the room awkwardly, attempting to avoid my eyes. My mouth opened wide as I stared at him. So, Gavin didn't trust that I would get hon my own? He had to send Beta Taylor to bringhhimself? The audacity of that man. I had half a mind to tell him off.
"No need. I have my car," I said, folding my arms across my chest defiantly.
Taylor shuffled in his shoes; his eyes fixed on the ground like he was afraid I could kill him with just one look. "Yes, your car will be sent to you by the end of the evening," he told me, clearing his throat.
My eyes grew wide.
"You're not serious," I shot back, staring at him with shock. I looked at Irene, who also looked shocked. "Taylor, just let her drive herself when she's ready. What's the rush?" Irene argued, she was holding the baby while Nan was cooing over it. Cheser sat awkwardly, watching his mate coo over a baby, his cheeks flushed. I was in the middle of teasing him when Taylor cand interrupted us. I wanted to spend stwith my friends; was that such a crime? "I'm sorry, Miss Irene. But your father had givenhis orders," Taylor told her.

"Con, Taylor. He's your best friend. What do you think he's going to do? It's not like he'd fire you or banish you," Irene told him. She had a point; Taylor and Gavin grew up together and had been friends their entire lives. If anyone could break the rules and get away with it, it was definitely Beta Taylor.
"I'm a professional and I know when it's acceptable to push his buttons and when it's not. I have a job to do... my Alpha toldto take Judy home, so that is what I must do," Taylor said, his normal playful demeanor changing into a stubborn Beta.
It even took Irene by surprise as she stared at him, the fight leaving her.
I wasn't in the mood to argue with him, so I sighed and grabbed my bag off the coffee table.
"Fine," I muttered. "I'll leave." Irene sighed and gavea hug.
"Sorry," she whispered against my ear. "I'll give him hell for this." I smiled at her, knowing she'd be true to her word. I turned to Nan and hugged her.
"Thanks for tellingabout all of this," I said softly. "I'll see you tomorrow." She nodded as I pulled away from her. I fist-bumped Cheser and pointed at him while saying, "Behave." He held up his hands in defense; Nan toldabout their little argument earlier from when she caught him flirting with a maid, and I wasn't going to let that go. But right now, it was not the tto discuss it. I turned to Taylor.
"Lead the way, warden," I said sarcastically.
He rolled his eyes, but I could tell he was hiding his smirk as he turned and started towards the doorway. As we reached the car and I got into the backseat, I felt like a defeated child didn't get why Gavin was so adamant about keepingaway from the mansion. It's not like he was trying to keepaway from his life, and that thought hurt more than anything.
My stomach turned into a giant knot as I thought about Sammy. I wondered what was going to happen to her.
"Did Gavin mention anything about Sammy?" I asked. "Or was he too focused on making sure I leave his mansion?" Taylor glanced atthrough the mirror.

have a ton of work to do tonight. He can't exactly accuse Sammy of being a traitor based on the words of your best friend and her mafe. He needs splichproof. Because she's of Lycan blood, he can't mind commanding her. Her phone had been wiped clean... apparently, she knew they were onto her, so she got rid of all the evidence. So, I have done what I can to find evidence." I remained silent for a long while as I processed this information.
"You should check with Ethan," I murmured. "He probably has a ton of evidence, and he isn't smart enough El.
to erase it." "That's my next stop after I drop you off." I smirked at him, my eyes remaining on the mirror, where I could see his face.
"I could help you if you want," I said. "Maybe I can steal his phone or something."
"Thank you for the offer, but it's alright. I can handle it," Taylor said with his own smirk lighting up his face.
