Chapter 8
I don't mix personal relationships with other matters , Gavin replied as he sat back in his seat and continued to stare out the
window .
He didn't want to continue this conversation .
He had already made up his mind that he want 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 I'm going to mean it , Gavin replied , rolling his eyes .
And you think that's going to stop me from telling you my thoughts ? We've known one another for a long time , Alpha What
makes you think I'm 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 didn't 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 .
That would be number 49.
His tutors never lasted more than a few days .
Matt wasn't 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 .
I'm not sure what more to do for him .
I've 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 .
I'll 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 he's developing issues concerning his mother ? Taylor finally asked .
Gavin glared at him through the mirror .
He doesn't speak to his mother , Gavin said bitterly .
No will he for quite a while if I have anything to say about it .
It's been a disheartening couple of days .
All my job applications kept getting rejected .
I didn't understand why I wasn't 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 .
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 was not 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 isn't for the weak , madam .
May I ask if you've ever tutored before ? He asked .
I have helped my peers with their schoolwork in high school .
I'm currently a student at Royal Academy studying combat and shifting .
I'm 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 .
That's 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 I'm 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 ?
