GoodNovel"It was worth a shot," I sighed.
His shoulders shook with suppressed laughter.
Taylor pulled into the driveway and put the car in park before turning to look at me.
"I know it's hard to see, but the Alpha truly does care about you, Miss Judy," he tellsgently, his eyes softening. "He's not great at expressing his feelings... he never has been. But he does the best he can. Cut him sslack." My heart was heavy in my chest as I thought about what he was saying. I found myself nodding and nibbling on my lower lip.
"When can I expect my car?" I asked, not wanting to talk about it anymore.
"Givea few hours," he told me. "I'll have it sent here soon." I nodded as I got out of the car, slamming the door shut behind me. Taylor didn't leave until I was securely in the house, which I found to be odder than usual. I wondered if Gavin ordered him not to stay outside the house until I was inside.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI seriously didn't understand what was happening, but I pushed it aside so I could have a normal family dinner with my parents.
I told my mom what had happened with Sammy at the mansion, and she was shocked to say the least. My father agreed that it was best if I stayed away from them for a while. He didn't want more trouble for the Montague family, and that's what it seemed like was happening... trouble.
It took a couple of hours, but soon, Gamma Eric was bringingmy car, and another Gamma was picking him up. My mom, in her motherly fashion, while he waited for the other Gamma to arrive, kept offering him food, but he politely declined, saying he was planning on going out later that evening for food.
"A date?" I asked when my mother finally went inside.
We were sitting on the porch; having Eric being my main driver over the course of the year, we becfriends of a sort.
He grinned.
"Maybe," he said. "Guess we will see how it goes." His ride appears, and he nudges my shoulder.
"See you later," he said before running to the car. I shook my head and laughed.
It was starting to beclate, and I knew my parents were settling down for the night. My mind kept wandering over Sammy and all the lies she had told me. My chest was conflicted at the thought of her betraying me. I hated that feeling... I wanted to talk to her about it.
I knew I probably shouldn't go against Gavin's wishes, but I had to find out for sure what Sammy was thinking and what was going on with her. So instead of going inside, I got right into my car and drove to Gavin's villa. I parked in a secluded area so he wouldn't see my car. He was gone, so I didn't think he'd be here, but I knew his staff would tell him everything.
I got out of the car and got inside the villa, only to be stopped by the Butler, Alex.
"You aren't supposed to be here," Alex said, folding his arms across his chest. "I thought you were moving home." "I did, but I forgot sthings," I lied.
He rolled his eyes.
"Should have called; I would have had someone bring it to you," he told me.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI shrugged.
"It's no problem," I told him. "I didn't want to make a fuss out of it. I can grab it. I left it upstairs." Thankfully, he didn't argue with me.
He letgo upstairs, and I pretended to walk towards Gavin's room, where I had been staying these last couple of weeks, but instead, I headed towards the guest wing. I picked up Sammy's scent right away; I had always been good at picking up on scent, so it didn't take long to find her room.
I knocked on her door, thankful there weren't any guards outside of it, m When she opened the door, I was even more relieved that it wasn't locked, but I saw an ankle monitor on her leg, makingfrown. "What is that?" I asked her, stepping into her room.
"I can't leave this room, or Alpha Gavin will be alerted. He also took my phone," she murmured, shutting the door.
She looked drained and defeated; despite everything, I still felt bad that she was going through this. There' $ going! had to be an actual explanation for all of this. There was no way she was lying from the very beginning. Then Sammy asked, "What are you even doing here?"
