CHAPTER 96
"What the fuck was that?" Gavin asks as both he and Declan stare at me as though I've grown two heads.
"What was what?" I'm confused as to why everybody is acting as though none of them have ever ripped the heart of another wolf out.
"What you did to Tiffany..." It's Declan's turn to speak up.
Placing my hands on my hips, I look back to where they are wrapping the dead she-wolf's body up so they can take her to the border. Declan had contacted Alpha Tate this morning to have him. send any kin of Tiffany's to pick up her body. Apparently, she only had an aunt, uncle and two male cousins as family, so Alpha Tate is sending the two cousins to pick her body up at the border, so they can have their own burial for her.
"I don't understand what the issue is. Did I do something wrong?" I ask looking back and forth between the two of them.
"You're telling us that you have absolutely no idea what you did?" Gavin's expression is incredulous. I shake my head as a response, "Quinn, we barely even saw you turn around, let alone see Tala's paw shoot out!"
I laugh, "What are you saying?"
"What Gavin is saying, Quinn, is that you moved with lightning. speed. I've never seen that happen before." Declan grins widely, "It was truly unbelievable!"
Gavin scowls at his cousin. "Yeah, and truly irresponsible! What if the wrong person saw that happen? I don't know how it was possible and maybe it was just a fluke, but you need to watch. yourself, Quinn. Not everyone will be understanding."
"So, I'm fast, I don't see the issue..." I trail off as I watch Gavin's expression turn to a concerned one. He truly looks scared about this, "Okay, I will be more careful." I wrap my arms around his waist and hug him to me until I feel his arms come around me.
He kisses the top of my head, "I love you Quinn, and I can't have anything happening to you, ever again."
"I promise, Gavin, I will not let that happen again, at least not on purpose. I hadn't realized that I did it this time. It must have just been an adrenaline rush. You know like those humans who can lift really heavy stuff when something bad happens; it has to be that."
"Yeah, maybe you're right." He murmurs against my head, "How about we head home, we have a long day tomorrow."
"Hm, sounds good."
Gavin and I spend the rest of the day with Asher. We figure since we will be pretty busy tomorrow, and not get much time in with. him, we might as well do it today. We spend our time taking a walk. and just spending some quality time in the Alpha suites together. Laying on the bed and talking baby gibberish to a week-old pup doesn't seem like much fun, but it's amusing seeing him look. around when each of us talk. He's learning our voices and turning his head already when he hears one of us talking. He's a very smart pup already.
When Ash starts to fuss for his feeding, I get him to latch on to one breast while Gavin hooks up the pump to the other, trying to stock up on extra for emergencies. He always loves to fondle my breast before applying the pump, making me chuckle and shake. my head each time as he grins. He's so devilishly handsome, especially when he grins, and he knows that the look he's giving me right now is the same one that's going to get him laid just as soon as Ash is done feeding and is sleeping.
My future mate doesn't miss a step, and as soon as Ash is out, Gavin carefully takes him from my breast while I detach the pump. I don't bother closing my shirt because he's only going to open it back up anyway. At least this way he doesn't have to rip off.
Gavin comes back into the room after taking Ash to his crib, "Are you ready to practice for tomorrow night?" He slides himself onto the bed and latches onto my breast just like his son had, except he's not trying to get milk.
"Mm, do you think we need the practice? I thought it was already perfect." I moan as his hand finds its way into my leggings.
"Yes, but it won't hurt to strive for better." He mumbles against my chest.
I laugh out loud, "Where do you come up with some of this stuff?"
