Without another word to her, I sent a mindlink to Beta Taylor, having him meet us in the parlor. I knew he wasn’t far, and knowing Taylor, he and Derek were most likely to listen to this conversation nearby. They were both around during the Rachel thing, and they knew how devastated I was after she “died.”
Sure enough, Taylor entered the parlor within seconds of my mindlinking him.
“You called?” He asked, trying to act as if he wasn’t listening; it made me roll my eyes before I could think.
“I need a guest room set up for Rachel,” I murmured, meeting his eyes. I could see the questions lingering in his gaze, and they were questions I couldn’t be bothered to answer right now. “She’ll be staying here for a while.”
He nodded, though he looked a bit uneasy about the choice.
I felt Rachel relax beside me, relieved that I wasn’t kicking her out… at least I wasn’t kicking her out tonight. I still needed to figure out where we both stood with one another before I could think about the future and how to move past it all.
She stood from the couch, grabbing her things before she turned to me, a small smile playing on her lips.
“It’s so good to see you again, Gavin,” she said softly; her tear-filled eyes meeting mine. “You have no idea how badly I missed you.”
I could only manage a nod, my words failing me completely. Without another word, she turned and left behind Beta Taylor. I slumped on the couch, my hands pushing my hair out of my face as I groaned.
I needed a drink, and I needed one immediately.
I walked over to my mini bar and poured myself a glass of whisky, my normal drink of choice during stressful situations. I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket, so I pulled it out and saw Judy’s name flash across the screen; she texted me.
My stomach clenched at the sight of her name. I couldn’t open the message because I wasn’t sure what I was going to say to her. I hated myself for leaving her in the middle of our date like that, but the second Taylor told me that Rachel was sitting in the parlor of my villa, I knew I needed to leave immediately.
I couldn’t imagine how it made Judy feel, though. Without opening the message, I shoved my phone back into my pocket and drowned myself in the whisky, feeling a bit lighter as it started to take its effect.
Taylor came back into the room and noticed me at the mini bar; he sighed and walked over to me.
“Am I off the Beta duty now?” He asked. “Or do you still need me for something?”
“Yes,” he told me. “However, you are still a Lycan and still the Alpha. You need to be clear-headed.”
“Wouldn’t be clear-headed sober,” I admitted.
“Yeah,” Taylor agreed, sighing. “What are you going to do?”
“I don’t know,” I admitted. “For the first time in my life, I don’t fucking know. I don’t have any answers, and I’m at a complete loss.”
We fell into a comfortable silence as we pondered what had happened; Rachel was alive, and she was here… wanting to make things work between us. But I wasn’t sure if I was emotionally there. I don’t do relationships anymore, and I wasn’t sure if she was the one I was going to break that rule with.
Then, Taylor's next question brought me out of my haze.
“What about Judy?”

Anyone have suggestions for other books like this that are captivating for me to read while I wait for more chapters etc?...
Despite everyone's frustrations with this book, I think it's quite entertaining. I think Gavin and Judy have a long road ahead of them. If/when they're able to finally get on the same page, they still have to deal with his mom. Not to mention Judy has to reconcile with Matthew after abandoning him when she promised she wouldn't; and face Irene with the news that she's carrying a new sibling. Lol, Levi is the least of their concerns. Then there's having the baby. Pretty sure Gavin has untreated trauma associated with Irene's birth. My thoughts are, just be patient, find other books to read in between and enjoy the ride. I think it'll be good....
Anyone Know where we Can Read all of this book 2 chapters a day is a joke And waiting is killing me I’ll just want to end this book !!...
I never really read these books, but came across this one and annoyingly got hooked. Do these books just go on forever with no resolution? As if so, I’m going to call it a day and write my own ending lol...
Lovely… I just found this book Friday and I’ve finished all that here. How often do they release more and how much at a time?! I’m invested....
So Spencer was “in love” before he even meet her? I used to wake up and read this book but now I let days go past before I read the chapters...
Well heres to the next 300 pages of this never ending story because now Gavin is going to have to save her before Spencer does something even more stupid because Judy is to weak to do anything for herself apparently....
3 chapters we didn't need. Already guessed Spencer was working with Levi and that the attacks were also Levi...
I think of all the things that bother me the most about the rushed writing is the inconsistencies. Judy and Nans room number was initially 606 when they checked in at the island resort for the Gamma Competition, but then was suddemly 906 - which turned out to be needed information later. When they first met, Judy went to Gavin's office the next day and told him about her father's imprisonment and her need for money, but then later the author made it sound like Gavin had no idea. She won 5 million for takimg first in the competition but then it was eluded to her not have much money and needed cash from the additional tutoring job with Lukas and the position in Levi's elite force. Honestly, the wishy-washy writing makes it feel like Gavin is less of a strong leader and more like he has so much personal drama he cant keep anything straight. It feels like Judy is weaker than the author has intended, as well. I feel like Rachel's return could have been tightened up with more details around her time Gavin instead of making Judy out to be a bit pathetic and desperate for just a sliver of Gavins attention. Her pregnancy was also disappointing because of the rushed plot, the author seemed to have forgotten that Judy gave her virginity to Gavin and no other sexual partners were introduced for her - so who the father of her baby was shouldn't have felt like such a surprise - it felt a bit insulting to her vibe and the character build throughout the hundreds of unnecessary chapters. I believe if the author spent a little more time and cleaned up some of the events with pertinent and necessary details and remove the oddities of over-the-top pieces (like the shower gel and cologne that appeared out of nowhere for Gavin in Judy's condo) this storyline could really be something great and intriguing for readers....
