Chapter 562

Gavin's POV

"You're going to be there, right?" Irene asked on the phone. "It would mean the world to Judy. I just know it would."

"Yes," I told my daughter, rubbing my temple. "For the hundredth time, Irene. I will be there. You don't need to worry about it. I've already reserved two seats: one for you and one for me. Nothing can keep me away from this event.”

I heard her sighing in relief on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, good," she breathed. "I'll see you later tonight, then. I love you."

"Love you too," I said, just before hanging up the phone. I felt my aggravation growing even more; it's been about two days, and there was still no security footage recovery from that night at the Grand Casino Hotel. Monty was supposed to be the best in the business; he arrived last night and had been working aimlessly at getting that deleted security footage. The problem was, so much had been deleted these last few weeks that he said it would take a few days for them all to be recovered and downloaded.

I didn't have a few days; I needed to find out the truth now. Especially because Judy's graduation was tonight, and I couldn't face her fully until I knew the truth. Sitting through the ceremony and then dinner afterwards with the lingering thought that I might have gotten another pregnant made me sick to my stomach.

"Alpha, there's a problem with Rachel," Beta Derek said, rushing into my office. "I think she needs to be taken to the hospital."

A low growl escaped me but I didn't argue with him. I simply stood and followed him out of my office and towards the back parlor where Rachel sat. She was sweating and her breathing was heavy. She wasn't showing yet, it was much too early in her supposed pregnancy for that, and yet her hands rested lazily on her belly like she was protecting her children.
