Gavin's Pov I haven't been avoiding her. Not even for a second. When Ares sent me those photos from Paris, it ruined my mood. I had to return to New York and settle this. I didn't want her to see any of it. So, I've been sorting it out, but it didn't go as planned. I had an important meeting with some other pack alphas, who were business partners, one of whom I never liked. He spoke badly about Judy, called her names, and…let’s just say it ended with a fight.That’s why I'm bleeding. The fucker had to cut my flesh open.I don’t want her to see me like this—vulnerable, weak, and stupid. I did take those pictures down, but for some reason, an anonymous person keeps bringing them back up. Even after I shut down the company that produced those photos and their shitty photographer. The dude
