Judy’s POV
I went to the hospital; I wasn’t sure what compelled me to come here, but Irene spoke to her father last night, and she told me that he had to go to the hospital because something happened with Rachel, and that’s what caused him to miss the graduation ceremony.
I barely managed to finish my speech once that breaking news story got sent to everyone’s phones. My voice had come out hollow, and I could hear the rapid beating of my heart; there was no doubt that everyone else could hear it too. I saw the sympathetic looks of Nan as she watched me struggle to speak.
I apologized and stepped away from the podium, ignoring the scattered claps as I took my seat. My hands were trembling violently, and I couldn’t even look up to meet the wary gazes of my parents, who I knew without a doubt were watching me from across the room. I saw my mother on her phone at one point as well, so I knew she had seen the news story and shared it with my father.
There were a couple more speeches from some of the college faculty, and then the Dean returned to the podium for her final speech before she announced the graduates by name. As she spoke each name, graduates stood and walked up to the stage, grabbed their degrees, and shook the Dean's hand before posing for a picture.
“Nan Bigsby,” the Dean announced.
Nan stood, plastered a smile on her face, and walked onto the stage. Chester was the loudest to cheer, and Nan blushed when he stood up and shouted for her. I wanted to be one of the loudest to cheer for my best friend, but I could barely even move.
I hardly registered what the Dean announced my name. The girl beside me had to nudge me when I made no effort to move.
“Judy Montague,” the Dean announced.
With wobbly legs, I stood and made my way towards the stage. The walk felt like an eternity; though there were clapping and cheering, my parents being amongst the loudest, and Nan and Chester also chanting, I barely heard any of it. To me, the entire place was silent, and the only sounds of my beating heart and breathing could be heard.
I stepped onto the stage, forcing a smile, though I knew it was tired and worn as I took the degree and shook the Dean’s hand.
“Congratulations,” she said just before we posed for a picture.

Judy is dumb as a bag of bricks, I’m over her😤...
Kinda glad I reached the end of the completed work. This is PAINFUL to read. Nobody with an ounce of self respect is dealing with Gavin showing her left and right she isn’t anything to him....
Well Gavin isn't going to let her stay in another pack especially one of his enemies packs. And Judy oh my goodness stop acting like a child put on your big girl panties and COMMUNICATE. You'd think the two of them would have realized by now that all these problems they are having is because they keep running away instead of communicating. Time to get them back together and working as a strong solid unit so they can take down their enemies not continue to collect them....
Why is she confused? Gosh… he confessed the misunderstanding AND is asking her not to push him away because he wants to be part of their lives!! Judy is disappointing me… 😒...
So after all this bloody time she finally gets Gavin and she wants to stay in another pack??? This must be a joke...can they honestly just get together already 🙄...
OMG … where are the next chapters 😳??...
Whoa.com finally something good is happening!! LOL. We are back on track hahaha ....
I feel like this story is just beginning. I think at some point we're going to learn that Judy is of Lycan blood and that she and Gavin are second chance mates. I think all of these discoveries will only surface with more opposition....
Finally the truth is coming out. Now let's let Gavin and Judy kick a$$ and take them down together and end this book lol...
Why is he so shocked she’s pushing him away 🤣🤣 are you kidding. Also - maybe the reason Gavin never dated was not because he couldn’t get over his first love, but was because he has the emotional intelligence of a teaspoon. However I do hope this is it! I’m sure now they’ve been somewhat honest, they will finally get together....
