Chapter 481
I was so focused on feeding her that I didn’t notice Gavin leaning against the doorframe, watching me. There was a look I didn’t recognize in his eyes, almost a thoughtful expression. When our eyes met, it almost seemed to snap him back to the present moment.
“We’re going to use the mansion to hide the baby,” he told me. “I think it’ll be best if Irene moves into the Villa with Emalyn. Right now, Taylor is heading here to take them there. There will be extra security in place around the mansion to keep them both safe. Plus, it’ll be good to get Irene out of the villa, so Matt’s wolf isn’t triggered, so it works out for the best.”
“What about Sammy?” I asked. “I thought I couldn’t go back to the mansion because we aren’t sure what she’s up to or who she’s working for.”
He nodded.
“Sammy will be relocated. She’s coming here so I can keep a better eye on her and find out for sure what she wants. I can’t have her walk around this pack freely if she is a spy, regardless of who she is working for. Having her on the other side of the pack in the northern mansion isn’t good enough. She needs to be at arm’s length.”
I nodded, an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“And what about me?” I asked the question weighing on my mind and heart.
A troubled look clouded his expression, making my heart sink. For a moment, he didn’t look at me. It seemed as if he was trying to look anywhere but at me.
“You’ll move back in with your parents for the time being. At least there you’ll be safe…”
My heart broke a little; he wanted me to move out…
“Is that what you want?” I asked, my voice coming out softer than intended.
He was hesitant, but then he nodded.
“Yes,” he replied after a beat of silence. “And until we get everything sorted… It’s best if you don’t come here.”
Third Person POV
Nan and Chester were in the middle of an argument in the kitchen of the mansion. Nan had her arms wrapped around her body like she was holding herself together; she was desperate to keep from crying in front of him.
She caught him flirting with one of the kitchen maids.
“Nothing happened, Nan,” Cheser told her, his voice pained. There was a dull ache in his chest at the sight of his mate hurting and his wolf was pissed at him for causing her this pain. “I wouldn’t do that… not to you. I was only joking with her, and it was in passing. You just walked in a he wrong moment.”
“I walked in at the right moment…” Nan shot back. “She touched her chest and told you that you were looking extra fit today, and then you replied by flexing your arms and telling her that her petite frame would never be able to handle you,” she recalled as tears filled her eyes. “Then she told you that she wants to test that theory, and you only laughed, Chester. You didn’t decline her…”
“You didn’t give me a chance. That was when you walked in,” Chester told her. “Baby, I wouldn’t cheat on you. You’re my mate.”
She opened her mouth to say something else, but Sammy walked in at that moment. She had a suitcase in her hand.
Nan frowned.
“Going somewhere?”
“Yeah, I’m moving into the Landry Villa. I’m not entirely sure why, but I’m sure they’ll tell me once I’m
there. He said something me!!
about
Irene moving in,” Sammy explained.
Nan raised her brows; she would have to ask Judy what was going on later, but
she needed to sort through this thing with Chester.
Sammy hugged Nan.
“I’ll see you later, though,” she told Nan.
After she said her goodbyes, she grabbed her bags and again retreated from the kitchen, leaving Nan and Chester alone in awkward silence Cheser wasn’t sure what to say to make things better, but he knew he needed to reassure her that he belonged to her and the words he exchanged with that maid were just that… words. They were
meaningless, and he was just about to decline her offer when Nan burst through the door in hysterics.
The maid took off after Nan walked in, and Chester was left speechless. Though, his wolf liked the fact that Nan was protective over him… but still, Chester felt like a piece of shit for making his mate feel like this.
He opened his mouth to say something, anything, but the sound of a phone ringing stopped him.
Nan frowned as she spotted the phone on the counter, her brows furrowed.
“Is that your phone?” She asked.
Chester shook his head.
“No, it must be Sammy’s.”
Nan grabbed the phone and was about to run it out to Sammy, but something on
the screen made her freeze. Chester watched her warily.
“What is it?” He asked.
She looked up at Chester and turned the phone screen to face Chester so he could see.
“It’s Alpha Lycan Levi…” she said, her brows furrowed as the picture of Alpha Levi was shown on the screen. “Her contact for him is Dad…”
