“Judy?” My mother asked softly. “Are you okay?”
I realized I had been quiet for too long, and I cleared my throat.
“Yeah, Mom. I’m okay. I just miss you…” It was the truth; tears threatened my eyes. All I wanted was to hug my mom; I missed her like crazy. I missed the familiarity of home. But I couldn’t go home… not yet… maybe not ever. “How’s…” My voice trailed off as Gavin’s name was the first on my tongue. I wanted to ask her if she had heard anything about him or about his upcoming wedding, but I couldn’t force the words out of my lips. “How’s everyone? Nan… Dad…”
“They miss you,” my mom said, sighing. “Nan is okay. I told her that you were spending time getting used to your new pack and job, so you have your phone off. She’s been worried about you and wants to talk to you. You should give her a call.”
I thought about it, but I didn’t because I knew she’d only talk about Gavn. Being mated to Chester and practically living in Gavin’s mansion with Irene, she has a front row seat to everything. I knew if I wanted information, Nan would provide it.
“Yeah,” I said softly. “Maybe I will.”
“They are talking to Alpha Landry about adopting Emalyn,” my mother told me. “She’s been wanting to tell you that Chester proposed to her a few days ago, and she said yes.”
I gasped.
“What?! Nan and Chester are getting married??” I asked, my eyes wide. Now that was shocking news. So much had changed in only a couple of days.
My mother chuckled.
“Yes,” she replied. “She’s happy, but also sad because she doesn’t have her best friend here by her side.”
Guilt nagged at my insides, and I nibbled on my lower lip, trying hard to keep my voice under control and not crack with emotions.
“I’ll reach out,” I tell her, though I’m not sure when I’ll reach out. I’m not sure what I was so afraid of, but something inside of me stopped me from making that phone call.
There was a lull in the conversation; I wasn’t sure what more to say, even though I wasn’t ready for this conversation to end. My heart ached, and I needed my mom more than anything right now. So, why couldn’t I talk to her?
‘Judy?” My mom said, her tone soft with compassion and lingering worry.

Is there something missing between the last two chapters??...
I need more 😭😭😭2 chapters is a tease😂...
update pls......
Please I'm begging you, and I'm addicted to this book emotionally....
Hey my name is Adelaide I'm from South Africa. Please write more chapters I really want to know if Levi will be able to threaten Gavins company and what will happen with him and Judy and the baby....
yes yes I love this story...
yes voicemails I agree and please more chapters it's so interesting...
Is the author on our side? “I wanted to call Nan and Irene and tell them what was happening, but that would mean admitting that I’m pregnant with Gavin’s baby, and I’d rather skip that part. I wanted to talk to someone who already knew that part of the story, so I didn’t have to repeat it.”...
Oh for goodness sake let them both find out already. We’ll need at least 8 chapters probably 20 for his POV, her POV, her to listen to the voicemails and realise she’s had it wrong all this time and more of each side having their own POV on a single sentence...
Hmmmm...
