Chapter 657
That wasn’t a lie, I had worked hard for some of those clothes, and wasn’t going to let him get rid of them. He smiled as he peppered soft kisses along my neck.
“Fine,” he murmured. “How about a compromise?”
“What kind of compromise?” I leaned my head back, allowing him better access.
“You wear my shirts to bed and whenever you’re lounging around the house,” he said, nipping at my neck and making me tremble in his arms. “I want to come home to you like this every night.”
I let out a breath and melted even further into him.

“I can do that,” I whispered, my eyes fluttering as I basked in his close proximity.
“Perfect,” he whispered back as his lips found mine once again.
Our moment was interrupted by his phone ringing. He groaned, but he pulled back. We both knew it could be important. Our time in bliss was over, and reality was quickly setting in. He grabbed his phone off the counter and glanced at the screen.
“It’s Taylor,” he murmured.
“It could be important,” I told him, knowing that if Taylor was calling him this early, it probably had something to do with the rogue issues.
He nodded as he answered the phone, pressing it to his cheek.
“What’s up?” He asked.
There was a moment of pause where Taylor spoke, and Gavin’s eyes darkened.
“I’ll be there soon,” he said, hanging up the phone. I felt a jab of disappointment that he was leaving, but I understood. He was not only the Alpha of this pack, but a Lycan. He had a huge responsibility, and I knew I couldn’t keep him here with me forever. I’m sorry,” he told me, reading my expression like a book. He put his hands on my shoulders and looked into my eyes. “I’ll come to see you later. But I have to deal with these issues before they become bigger.”
I nodded.
“I understand,” I told him. “I have things to do today, too. I’m going to see my parents and go with them to the Redmoon packhouse.”
He nodded.
“Take Erik with you.”
I narrowed my eyes.
“I don’t need protection,” I told him.
((
“You are my mate and the future Luna of this pack. I don’t want you leaving without some sort of gamma protection,” he told me, leaving me no room for argument. I thought about bringing up the fact that I, too, was a gamma, but I didn’t because I could feel his worry and love for me. So, I just nodded. 1
“Okay,” I relented.
He smiled and gave me a brief kiss. “Also, I made breakfast. I’m sorry I can’t sit and eat with you like I planned, but please, eat as much as you can. You are eating for two after all.”
He bent and kissed my belly lovingly.
“I will,” I told him, running my fingers through his hair.
