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."

"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.
