CHAPTER 50

Gavin

Can I grill? Please…’I say to Mace, my wolf, ‘Is it just because I’m an heir that she would think I don’t know how to use a grill?’

‘Um, when have you used a grill, and where was I when you used it?’ Mace shows me an image of him scratching his head.

*Pfft, I watch all those cooking shows, I know the gist of it. Exactly how hard can it be?’ I ask him.

He face paws himself, ‘She going to know.’

‘No, she’s not. They are not going to know; I will make sure of it.’

‘Whatever. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.’ Mace chuckles and then goes to his corner to watch me.

I’ll show him, I think to myself as I start the grill. See, I’ve never turned a grill on either, and voila, it was a piece of cake. Now all I have to do is not burn the food. Adjusting the flame, Connor walks out with the tray of beef patties and a tray of hot dogs. It doesn’t take a genius to know that the hot dogs will cook faster than the burgers, so I hold off a bit before putting them on.

After a small fire and a few crisp patties, in which I tossed before anyone could see, I had done a pretty decent job, and everything was edible. I don’t think they were Grill Master worthy, but when Quinn compliments me, I will take it.

Walker comes over and we stand here and chat for a while as I steal glimpses at Quinn who is over talking with both Cici and Summer. I can hear the awe in Walker’s voice as he talks about his mate, and I wish I had that. I wish Quinn could be my mate, but we’ve already established that she isn’t, not a fated one, anyway.

Someone calls Walker away and I take this chance to go to Quinn and wrap my arms around her. When she glances back, her smile makes my whole world stop for just a moment.

“There’s the amazing Grill Master!”

“I told you I was pretty good. I think you owe me a kiss for doubting my talent.” I smile back down at her.

She begins lifting herself up, so I lean down and meet her lips. As much as I would love to steal her away, I know it’s impossible right at the moment, so I break away from her soft lips. I turn my attention to her friends who are now talking about Walker, and I feel Quinn slip from my arms.

“I will be right back,” I hear her mumble before she walks away.

Looking in the direction that she’s going in, I see a flash of movement slip around the corner, and I sense my cousin right away. As much as I want to know what’s happening, I stay put and wait for Quinn to return. My aunt Amelia steals my attention from the corner of the house where I watched Quinn walk around, following Declan, and I turn towards the older female and smile warmly at her.

I’ve always loved my aunt Amelia. She’s never treated me unkindly and has always praised me in everything that I have done. I wish my father had gotten just a smidgeon of the kindness that both his sisters had gotten, then maybe life would have been different for me.

“Oh, Gavin, my dear boy! How are you doing these days?” Amelia asks, placing a kiss to my cheek.
