Chapter 102


    He stares dumbfoundedly at me as though I’m speaking in different tongues, “Den,


    say something.”


    “I’m sorry,” he clears his throat, “I thought I heard you say that the test was for me and


    my son.”


    I swallow hard, “That’s exactly what I said.”


    “Why would you do that behind my back, Quinn? Don’t you think you should have talked


    to me first?”


    “I’m sorry, you’re right. I just knew you had so much going on and since we didn’t trust


    Langly at that time, I went ahead and asked Dr. Sands the night you put the transmitter


    into L. You had a lot going on, and I honestly forgot about it after because not too long


    afterward, I went intobor.”


    Enter title…


    “Well, what did the results say?” He asks very annoyed.


    “I don’t know. I didn’t look at them because I was going to give them to you to look at


    first.” I say softly.


    “Where are they now?” He asks.


    “I’m not quite sure, I’ll have to see if I can find the envelope.” I reply sheepishly.


    “Oh nice, so results saying whether or not my son is really my son are just floating


    around?”


    Now I’m upset as I step right up into his space and poke him in the chest, “I’m sorry that I


    went behind your back to find out what you should have found out a long time ago but


    didn’t, and I’m sorry


    that I misced the f*cking results, but I lost my f*cking mate and my son lost his father,


    so excuse me for not putting your problems ahead of my own!”


    “Now you’re putting words into my mouth!” He scowls at me.


    I don’t have anything else to say to him at the moment, so I go over and pick up Holden.


    Pressing a kiss to his cheek, “Goodnight sweet boy, I will see you soon.” I then go to


    Amelia and give her a hug, thanking her foring. Turning around, I give Ash a kiss on


    the head, “Please bring him to me before you put him to bed.”


    “I will.” She smiles sadly at me after hearing mine and Den’s conversation.


    I then walk out of the dining room and head up to my suite of rooms. Den calls after


    me, but I ignore him each time. He tries toe after me, but I hear his mother stop him


    and then chastise him for upsetting me.


    The next morning as I’m just getting to my office, Cici stops me, “Can I talk to you for a


    moment?”


    “Of course, I’m always here for you to talk to. Well, unless I’ve been kidnapped my


    psychos, in earlybor, or grieving over my mate dying, but otherwise, I’m here.”


    She flinches and starts backing away. I grab her hand and bring her into my office, “All I


    meant is that unless it’s under bizarre circumstances, I’m here for you.” I chuckle.


    “You do seem to get into the most bizarre situations, don’t you?” She snickers.


    “Yeah, well, hopefully those days are over. Now, what brings you to


    me, aside from me being your bestie and you just can’t bear to stay away from me.”


    Sheughs, “Look at you being all full of yourself. It’s good seeing the old you again.”


    I gasp yfully, “Are you saying I’m conceited?”


    “Not at all, b*tch.”


    We both have a goodugh, and when we finally settle down, Cici pulls something from


    her back pocket, “That night I helped you change out of your dirty clothes. I didn’t think


    anything of it at the time because we were all going through a great loss, and then I


    forgot all about it. I heard bits and pieces of your conversation with Alpha Denst


    night and thought that maybe this is what you were referring to.” She ces a folded


    envelope on my desk with red smears all over it.


    I go to pick it up until I realize what the smears are, and I s*atch. my hand away. I shake


    my head back and forth, “I don’t want it, but if you could please pass it on to Alpha


    Den, I would appreciate it.”


    “Quinn…”


    “No, Cici, I’m not going to talk about it. I know now what I did was wrong, but you know


    what, I would do it again if it meant getting. him away from that b*tch, but hey, maybe he


    wants to keep her in his life, so I’m washing my hands of it. Whatever those test results


    say, no longer matters to me. I will not butt into his life any longer. My life is f*cked up


    enough, without adding that s*it show to it as well.”


    “You don’t mean that, Quinn. This isn’t you.” My friend states.


    Snickering, I lean back in my chair, “I love you to death Cici, but you


    don’t know what the f*ck I’ve been through, so I apologize if I don’t seem like myself


    these days, but I had to grow the f*ck up and reinforce my backbone,” I lean forward and


    grab my pen, “Now, if you could please deliver that to its rightful owner,” I point to the


    blood-stained envelope, “I have work that I need to catch up on.”


    I start writing gibberish until I hear the door close, and I drop my pen. Covering my face, I


    give way to the tears that I have been desperately trying to hold back.


    The rest of the day everyone in the pack house has been walking on eggshells around


    me. Cici must have said something about our little meeting and even though I’m not mad


    at anyone here in the house, they stay away anyway. I really don’t mind too much,


    though. It gives me time to put things into perspective without being interrupted. The only


    time I let myself not think about the stressful stuff is when I spend time with my son.

    Aside from his hair, which is the color of mine, Ash is the spitting image of his father, right


    down to his beautiful green eyes. I couldn’t ask the Goddess for anything more perfect


    than this. He’s going to be such adies’ man when he’s older if he looks anything. like


    his father, which that seems to be the case.


    I’m talking to him in my mommy voice and blowing raspberries on his belly when


    suddenly I see his first real smile. Excitement takes hold and I continue to make him


    smile because he’s got HIS smile as well and I have missed it so very much. A warm


    breezees through the window, just like it did yesterday, and I know that Gavin is


    here with us watching his son smile for the first time.


    Some may think I’m crazy for thinking that a simple warm breeze is probably just that,


    but we have a cool front going through this week and the temps have only been in the


    low fifties, so yes, I


    really do believe that my mate is here, watching over us. He told me he would be and if I


    know anything, I know that Gavin was always one to keep his word to me. I hold Ash


    close to my heart and whisper to him, “Daddy loves you.”


    Thanks for reading peeps!
