He didnt want to continue this conversation . He had already made up his mind that he wasnt to see Judy Montague again . Or are you just afraid , Taylor asked , his tone teasing and a smirk playing on his lips . Gavin scowled at his Beta . Taylor youre fired , he muttered . This made Taylor laugh . And how many times have you fired me ? Taylor asked , still laughing and shaking his head . This week ? More times than I can count . One of these days Im going to mean it , Gavin replied , rolling his eyes . And you think thats going to stop me from telling you my thoughts ? Weve known one another for a long time , Alpha What makes you think Im going to keep quiet ? Just focus on driving , Beta , Gavin said through his teeth . Taylor was about to say something more , but then his phone rang , making him stop in the middle of his sentence . He pulled his phone out and pressed the talk button . A familiar voice sounded on Bluetooth . Butler Adam , you are on speaker phone . I have Alpha Gavin with me , Taylor said . Adam had been part of Gavins family for a long time and a trustworthy butler . Gavin personally put him in charge of caring for 7 year old Matt while he was away . He didnt usually call like this unless it was Matt related . As soon as Gavin heard that it was Adam on the phone , he was immediately on high alert . Oh , good Alpha . I must speak with you about your son . Another tutor quit this evening , Adam said , sounding a bit irritated . Another one ? Gavin asked , pressing his lips together . That would be number 49. His tutors never lasted more than a few days . Matt wasnt a bad kid , but Gavin knew he was a bit troubled at times . Yes , sir . Master Matthew scared her off like he had the others . Im not sure what more to do for him . Ive tried speaking to him , but he only lashes out at me , Alpha . Widen the recruitment scope and increase the salary offers , Gavin demanded . Maybe a bit more money will keep them around longer . Adam sighed . Yes , Alpha . Ill see what I can do , he murmured before the line disconnected . Beta Taylor was quiet for a short while , stealing glances into the mirror periodically . Do you suppose hes developing issues concerning his mother ? Taylor finally asked . Gavin glared at him through the mirror .noveldrama He doesnt speak to his mother , Gavin said bitterly . No will he for quite a while if I have anything to say about it . . 7/2 Chapter 0005 Judys POV Its been a disheartening couple of days . All my job applications kept getting rejected . 1 didnt understand why I wasnt getting any of these jobs . My application was flawless ; I had a ton of experience from former jobs , not to mention a ton of education due to college . I was also young and in good shape . Yet I kept facing rejection after rejection. Pulling out my phone , I decided to search the job boards . I applied to a few of these businesses already and most of them I hadnt heard back from . Then , something new appeared and my brows raised . It was posted a little over an hour ago . A tutoring job for a 7 year old boy , multiple subjects including basic combat skills and defense . Must be knowledgeable and experienced . I bit my lower lip as I sent in my resume ; a tutoring job would be nice , and I would be able to do it after my own school schedule as well . The job was posted on a werewolf job board and the location was in the Silver Crescent pack , which wasnt far from the Redmoon pack Instead of waiting around for them to call me , I decided to use the number listed on the board and give Mr. Adam Conners a call . Adam Conners speaking , a deep voice said on the other end . Hello , Mr. Conners . My name is Judy Montague . I stumbled across your ad seeking a tutor for a 7 year old boy . I just sent in my resume , and I would like the opportunity to meet with you . There was silence on the other end , and it made me feel nervous . A swarm of butterflies flapped away in my belly as I waited for his response . This job isnt for the weak , madam . May I ask if youve ever tutored before ? He asked . I have helped my peers with their schoolwork in high school . Im currently a student at Royal Academy studying combat and shifting . Im skilled in most subjects . I graduated top of my class in high school , and I aim to do the same in college as well , I told him . I see , he said thoughtfully . Thats quite impressive . Master Matthew is a bit troubled though and might need someone strong enough to handle him , he said a bit hesitantly . My goal after college is to become a Gamma warrior . If Im not strong enough to handle a troubled 7 year old , then theres a bigger issue at hand , Mr. Conners , I said without missing a beat . There was a brief pause on the other end , and then I heard him chuckling . I must say , I like your confidence , Miss Montague , he replied . Please , call me Judy , I insisted . Alright , Judy . Well , I just pulled up the resume you sent me and its quite impressive indeed . Why does someone with your skill sets and ambitions want to tutor a child ? </body></html>
