Chapter : 864
“Meg is still alive?” I asked, my breath caught in my throat.
Meg was an essential part of my adoptive parents’ lives, and she was Lila’s mother. Even Lila deserved to know her mother, and my parents deserved to have the closure they needed. From how they spoke about Meg when they told me the story of how they met her, I could tell there was admiration and affection.
They still wondered about her; it would be impossible for them not to wonder about her.
Daisy nodded, and before she could say another word, Erik’s voice cut through, interrupting our conversation.
“Judy, I think you should come back through the gate. Gavin is going to be furious…..” he said, a slight tremor in his voice.
I rolled my eyes.
“So what if he’s mad… I’ll deal with it when it’s time to deal with it,” I said, waving off his concern. I can handle my husband… no problem.
“Mad isn’t the correct term to use for how infuriated I am right now,” his dark and deep voice said, washing over me like a tidal wave.
My entire body froze, and though my wolf was jumping for joy and happy that her mate was nearby, my heart managed to beat way faster than it should have been beating, and with it, my breathing became erratic.
I slowly turned to face a very furious and red-faced Gavin, who stood near a pale- faced Erik.
“Care to explain to me why my pregnant mate is speaking to someone who has done our family harm?” Gavin asked him, his eyes narrowing. “It doesn’t look like you’re keeping my mate safe, Erik.”
“Daisy isn’t going to hurt me, Gavin,” I assured him. “And it’s not Eriks’ fault. He tried to stop me, but you know how I can be… I’m stubborn. So, he compromised and came along with me. He didn’t know I was going to step out of the gate, but it’s clear that we all misjudged Daisy… she’s a victim.”
“And you expect me to believe a word that woman has to say? She betrayed my family and made a fool of my mother. There’s no way in hell—”
“I need you to trust me,” I said, stepping closer to him and placing a hand on his chest, feeling his
quickened heartbeat beneath minet
palm. He stared down at me, his eyes dark and angry she’s had it, really bad, Gavin. Worse than you could ever think. And I believe every word she said to me. I would know it if she were lying. Please, I need you to trust me.”
He stared at me for a moment longer, and I could see the conflict in his eyes. Then,
his gaze softened, and he sighed.
“Next time, call me,” he said,
brushing a strand of hair behind my
ear. “I don’t want to hear about
something like this from my
daughter again. I want you to call
me, and we will deal with this
together.”
I should have known Irene would have called him. I couldn’t help but smile at him as
I stood on my toes and pressed my lips to his.
“I’ll fill you in on everything else later, but Megan Churchill is still alive.”
His brows pinched together.
“What?”
“Megan Churchill, Levi’s sister… she’s still alive,” I repeated, and then turned to look at Daisy Where
exactly is the hospital she’s in?”
“I’m not sure; Levi used to move her around a lot, so she could literally be anywhere now.”
I sighed, my shoulders slumping, and then Gavin’s warm voice made everything better in an instant.
“Then, I guess we’ll have to ask Levi himself.”
