CHAPTER 85

Surprisingly, dinner is going well, which I figured it would, but hearing that it is Lila who made sure everything was perfect for us has me wondering if she is up to something new. Even though she hasn’t said a word to me throughout the meal so far, she’s trying to be a gracious hostess with everyone else.

Apparently, Lila was not left in charge of seating because she never would have placed me to the left of her Alpha. Normally, the Beta would sit to his left, but Carter is sitting beside Lila, which is to the right of Declan. Since Lila is Luna, that is her rightful place, but I think there are other motives for placing her there for this evening’s dinner.

I can sense Gavin’s wolf’s irritation about me sitting beside the hosting Alpha, and since Amelia is just to Gavin’s left, I ask him if I could switch seats with him, so I can chat with his aunt. Gavin is quick to give up his seat to me, and I can feel Mace settle back down. Him keeping his hand on my thigh throughout the meal also helps keep both of our wolves calm. Although Tala’s reason for being uptight is due to the she-wolf across from us.

Tala has finally accepted Gavin as our future mate, even though she still longs for Duke. We both have come to terms with not having Declan and Duke as our mates, but it doesn’t hurt any less. Gavin is a good male, though, and I do love him with all my heart, so I think I will count myself lucky.

“So, Alpha Quinn, how much longer do you have?” Dr. Sands asks smiling, knowing very well how much time I have, “You look as though you may go any day now.”

I chuckle and rub the top of my stomach, “I’m supposed to have

another month, I’m sure you know, though, that as an Alpha, he can come anytime now.”

“Oh, yes, yes! Have you picked out any names yet?” He continues. the small chit chat. Thank God, he is sitting just beside Aspen on the other side of the table because I’m too big to lean forward had he been placed beside Amelia.

I look over at Gavin and smile, “We have a few names in mind, but we’ve decided not to tell anyone until he is here, and we choose the right one for him.”

He mouths it back to me, and when I turn my attention back to the table, all eyes are on us. I duck my head and continue to eat while a slight blush creeps up on my face. I don’t dare look over at Declan because I don’t want to see any kind of sadness in his eyes. Tonight is about me and Gavin and I need to keep that in mind instead of
