Judy's POV

My heart stopped when I saw the picture. They looked to be in a private area in the local coffee shop near the school. They were huddled in the corner, talking privately. I couldn't take my eyes off the image when Nan texted again.

Nan: I stopped by on my way to work and I saw them together. What do you think they are doing together?

My mind instantly went to the worst scenario. Had Ethan somehow gotten to her and now he was courting her or something? Was Sammy dumb enough to believe the things Ethan says after everything she already knows about him? I had told her about the situation with me, Ethan, and Irene.

But did he somehow twist things and make it seem like he was the good guy in the situation? My wolf whimpered at the sight our her mate with yet another woman, knowing his intentions were not good. I hated that he still affected her, that my wolf clammed up every time he was near or every time he was mentioned. It helped being around Gavin for some reason; she felt more at ease, but still, the image of him and Sammy together, made her recoil a little.

"What is it?" Gavin asked; for a moment, I had forgotten that he was sitting right next to me, driving to the villa. I thought about lying to him and saying it was nothing, but I wasn't sure my voice could carry the lie, so I decided just to tell him the truth.

"Nan went to a coffee shop before work and she saw Sammy speaking with Ethan," I told him, my voice carrying a hint of worry, though I tried to mask it.

Gavin glanced at me with a frown before returning his attention to the road. His villa was nearing; I could see it in the distance.

"I didn't think they knew one another," Gavin said, his tone carrying something I couldn't quite figure out. "When did he return to town?"
