CHAPTER 89
“So, are you ever going to tell us his name?” Amelia asks excitedly.
Gavin and I look at one another and I nod, giving him the go ahead. Instead of just telling them, he builds the anticipation by
talking about why and how we decided on the name, and how we went back and forth on deciding. Everyone is getting antsy and
it’s amusing Gavin.
“Will you stop already,” I laugh, “I am more than happy to tell them. myself if you keep going on and on.”
“You’re ruining the fun, baby.” He takes my chin and kisses me once more. Becoming serious, though, he gazes into my eyes, “I
thought I was losing you...losing both of you. I’ve never been so scared in my life.” He turns back to the others, “I am so happy
that Quinn is okay and that in just over a week, she will be honoring me by becoming my Luna,” placing his arm around my
shoulders, he continues, “But this union ceremony is going to be even more special, because the future Alpha heir to the Dark
Moon pack will be in attendance as well. Quinn and I are proud to announce to you all, the future Alpha, Asher Lincoln Davis, of
the Dark Moon pack!”
Excited chatter breaks out as Gavin turns back to me, “Drama King...” I chuckle.
“Hey, our pup deserved a great introduction!” He grins.
“He sure does!” Declan cuts in, and shakes Gavin’s hand, “Gavin, Quinn, congratulations, Asher is perfect, and I can’t wait until
he is old enough to play with Holden.”

I study him to see if he is being sincere or just nice, but I can tell that he truly means what he says, “Thank you Declan, that
really means a lot, and I’m with you on our boys being playmates.”
“Gavin,” Sarah passes Asher off to Amelia and comes over to the bed, “You announced that he is the heir to Dark Moon but not
Blue River, why is that?”
Gavin tenses, “I know how father feels, Mother. I’m not going to claim something that may never be mine.”
I place my hand on his thigh as Declan places his hand on his cousin’s shoulder, showing him that we stand with him. It makes.
“Well, who else will it go to if not you?” Sara balks.
“Ayden. It’s why he had him to begin with. He never planned to pass it to me, Mother. Why else would he rape a seventeen-year-
old over and over until he knocked her up?”
“W-what are you talking about?” She seems taken aback by this news and I can’t help but wonder if she really is in the dark
about most of it. Although, she still would have known about the infidelity.
“Are you telling me that you didn’t know that Demi’s son is father’s son, my baby brother?”
The horrific expression that appears on his mom’s face, proves that she knows nothing of the pregnancy, “No! You’re lying! He
wouldn’t do that to that poor child, you have to be mistaken!”
“I’m not, Mother. Why do you think she fled. We have them both in hiding, so father doesn’t get his hands on Ayden.”
Sara collapses, and Declan is right there to catch her, as he helps her to lower herself in the chair beside the bed, “I knew he
was unfaithful. I tried to stop him, threatened to leave him multiples times, and take you with me, but then the beatings started
whenever I threatened him. Then whenever I just brought the topic up, he would beat me. After a while, all I could do was accept
it, for fear of both my life and yours, but I never thought he would rape an innocent girl!” Her head whips to all three of us,
“Please, you must believe me, I knew nothing!”
All three of us look at her with sympathy, “I believe you, Sara.” I state, “I wondered how a mate could stand by and allow her
mate to sleep around, especially if you’re fated. You must have endured horrible pain.”
She nods, “You have no idea, but if it meant keeping both me and my son alive, I’d do anything.”
“We need to end his reign, Aunt Sara, you know that don’t you?” Declan asks.
She nods, “I always hoped that once he retired then I’d get my old mate back. We used to be so in love, like fated mates are
supposed to be. I don’t know what changed him.”
and
“Mom, he’s never going to change. Father is all about power will not step down on his own. He shows his power over you by
beating you after he is the one who is in the wrong.” Gavin sits on the edge of the bed and pulls his mom into his arms,
“Whatever happens, know that you will always be taken care of.”

I’m able to go back to the pack house the next morning, since there is no staff at the hospital, there is no sense in staying there
and it’s more convenient for Summer to check on me and Asher
while we are at home, rather than coming all the over to the hospital.
Asher, or what we’ve already started calling him, Ash, is such a good pup. Sure, he wakes up for his feedings throughout the
night, but then he goes right back to sleep. Gavin makes me pump just so he can get up with his son and bond with him while I
sleep. He is so good with our son, and he is so good to me. I’m the luckiest she-wolf in the world. For not having a fated mate, I
have to say that I made out pretty well.
“How are my two favorite people in the world?” Gavin comes up the porch steps where I sit and rock Ash in my arms. He leans
down and plants a kiss to both our heads.
“We are just getting some fresh air while we take a break last minute Union details. Which, I wanted to talk to you about
something.”
He leans against the railing, one ankle over the other while he grips the railing, “What is it? You know that I will go with whatever
you want for the ceremony. I just want to see you beside me at the end of that aisle.” He grins.
“I’ll be there, don’t you worry about that.” I smile mischievously, “But I would also like to have your brother there. I think you
deserve to have him there, and I think he deserves to be there as well. Do you think we can make it happen?”
He shrugs, “I can see if Deke will talk to Demi. It’s her decision on whether or not she wants to chance it.”
“But your father won’t be there, correct?”
“Well, yeah, but again, it’s her decision.”
“Okay. Can you talk to Alpha Deke for me then?”

“You know I will,” he pushes himself away from the railing, “I will do anything for you. Haven’t you figured that out by now?” He
bends down and takes my mouth with his until Ash begins to fuss, “Here, let me take him for a while, so you can get stuff done.”
“Thank you. Oh,” I stop him from walking away, “One more thing, I want to take care of Tiffany before the ceremony. I don’t want
any of my past darkening my future with you and Ash.”
“If you are fully recovered, then we will go the day before. How does that sound?”
“Perfect, thank you for understanding, babe.” I caress his cheek. and then watch him bounce down the steps with our pup. He
love showing him off every chance he gets.
