Judy’s POV
My heart stopped in my chest. Daisy and Lila wanted to speak with me… I looked up at Gavin, and I could see his jaw tense. His eyes blazed with protection and anger.
“She’s not going anywhere,” Gavin said through his teeth.
I swallowed hard, stepping back just enough to get a good look at him, meeting his eyes. He was determined to keep our little family safe.
“I should talk to them,” I spoke the words before my mind could fully catch up. “Gavin, if they’re asking for me… It’s not random.”
“It doesn’t matter,” he snapped. “They sent rogues to the house, Judy. To you. And now they want you to just scroll over there alone? Absolutely not.”
“I won’t go unprotected. You can come with me, and so will some of the gammas,” I told him, stepping closer to him.
“I don’t trust them,” he said, turning to look at me. “I can’t—”
“Gavin—”
“No,” he said sharply, closing the gap between us; his hands gripping my arms, gentle but full of frustration. “You’re pregnant. Those rogues could have taken you, and now I’m supposed to let you walk towards the people responsible?”
“They sent rogues to get me; we don’t know what they wanted,” I say, my eyes narrowed. “For all we know, they just want to talk.”
“And if they don’t?” He asked, narrowing his eyes right back at me. “If they try to take you? What happens then…. I can’t lose you, Judy.”
He pressed his forehead against mine and took in a deep breath.
I closed my eyes, breathing him in as well.
“You won’t,” I assured him. “You’ll be there the entire time, and you’ll protect me… I know you will. I trust you more than anyone in this world, Gavin. You won’t let anything happen to me. Please… I need to see what they want, and if anything, I need to get that Moon Gem from Lila. According to Cora, it belongs to me. I don’t want it in her hands any longer.”
He stepped back, dragging a hand through his hair. He looked like he wanted to punch a wall, and I wanted to reach out and comfort him, but I stood my ground. Taylor stood awkwardly in the doorway, his eyes shifted to the ground, refusing to look at either of us.
