Despite Lucy crying for the last couple of hours since the pack meeting till now, she still looked gorgeous. Yes, she had some makeup smeared under her eyes, and her face was a bit pale, but she was stunning.

"Of course," I tell her.

She heads to the bathroom while I get the living room set up for a much-needed talk. I still wasn't sure where my friendship stood with Lucy, but for right now, I think I needed a friend more than anyone. I wanted to call Nan and Irene and tell them what was happening, but that would mean admitting that I'm pregnant with Gavin's baby, and I'd rather skip that part. I wanted to talk to someone who already knew that part of the story, so I didn't have to repeat it.

It didn't take long for Lucy to return. Her makeup was cleaned up, and her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail.

She gave me a small smile when she saw me seated on the couch. When she joined me, she turned to face me, getting herself comfortable.

I bit my lower lip and nibbled on it; I knew this question was going to happen. I took a deep breath before answering her question.

"I'm from his territory," I told her. "I actually tutor his son..."

"His son??" She asked with wide eyes. "You personally work for Gavin Landry?"

I nodded and looked away from her penetrating eyes.

"Yes," I tell her. "I have for almost 2 years..."
