Chapter 465
Irene nodded.
"I know what I did was wrong... I'm so sorry..."
"Why did you do it? Why did you try to kill me?"
"I wasn't trying to kill you," Irene nearly shouted as she stood to her feet. “I promise, Matt. My intention wasn't to kill you. It was to get rid of Judy. I wanted to frame her because I was jealous of her. I thought she was after Ethan—”
"This was because of Ethan?" Matt asked, shaking his head with disbelief written all over his face. "You hurt me because of a guy?"
Irene let out a sob; she knew this conversation was going to be hard, but she felt utterly gutted.
"I know..." she said with desperation in her tone. "I know what I did was awful. I wasn't thinking rationally. I had gone mad... I know it. But I Matt, you're my brother. I love you and-"
"You don't love me... You tried to kill me!" he shouted, his face red with rage. He looked just like Gavin when he was angry, and it hurt Irene's heart knowing that Matt's anger was directed towards her. "Get out of my room!" Matt yelled, his eyes glowing.
Irene's eyes grew wide... it was impossible. The glowing eyes signified that his wolf was close... possibly even surging forward. But Matt was only almost 8 years old... he wasn't due to have his wolf for another 10 years. Nobody got their wolves this early in life... he wasn't ready for his wolf...
Irene took a step away from him as his face started to twist, and a growl escaped his throat. The anger on Matt's face soon turned into pure agony as the sounds of cracking bones filled the silence that stretched across the room....
"Holy shit..." Irene gasped before she let out a horrified scream.
Judy's POV
It was mid-morning when I got to the Landry Villa. It was Saturday, so I was planning on getting a morning training session with Matthew to make up for being AWOL this past week. As I walked in through the doors, Gavin was walking down the steps with his hair a mess from sleep and his pajama bottoms hanging low on his waist. He wore no shirt, so his abs were clear as day, and my jaw nearly hit the ground from the sight of him.
He paused when he saw me, and he tilted his head.
"Wasn't expecting you this morning," he said, though he didn't sound displeased. "If you were planning on coming here this morning, you could have just spent the night."
"I wanted to get some training in with Matt today," I explained, proud that I didn't stammer like a fool.
The corner of his lips twitched in a sly smile as he walked towards me.
"Sure you weren't trying to catch me with my shirt off?" He teased, his tone low and sultry.
I opened my mouth to give him a sly reply in return, but then we heard Irene screaming and the sound of a growl coming from upstairs.
Gavin's face turned from flirty to alert in seconds. Without wasting another second, we were both
running up the stairs, taking two net
steps at a time. We followed the sounds of the growling and Irene's panicked screaming. noveldrama
It was coming from Matt's room.
Gavin didn't hesitate to burst through the door, only to freeze at the sight before him.
Irene ran out of the room, her face pale and filled with Panic.
"Hey, what happened?" I asked her, trying to get her to calm down. But she was only sobbing and pointing a shaky finger at Matt's bedroom, her entire body quivering in fear.
I knew I wasn't going to get any answers from her, so I followed after Gavin and into Matt's room, freezing beside him as I stared down at Matt, who was growling and screaming out in agony.
"Holy fuck," I gasped. "How is that possible?"
Gavin snapped out of his stupor for a moment and knelt to the ground beside Matt, touching his dislocated shoulder.
"Matthew breathed... It's going to be
okay. We are going to get you through this," Gavin reassured him though knew he had no idea what to say or what to do. This situation had never been known to anyone before... It's never happened.
Gavin looked up at me with almost pleading eyes, and I too snapped out of my
stupor, kneeling on the ground.
"Just relax, Matt. Let it happen," I
told him, remembering the words my father had once said to me. "You are shifting into your wolf... You need to let your wolf take over. Just breathe."
