I frowned.

"A future in the pack?" I asked, raising my brows. Judy didn't have a future in this pack; I was taking her home the second I was done here. She was going to live with me in the villa and raise our baby near our families. I'll eventually give her a position in the Elite Gamma Force so she can pursue what she's worked so hard for.

Lucy nodded.

"Yes," she replied. "I talked to him about it last night. He wants to offer her a position on his force after her maternity leave. He's allowing her to stay in the pack for as long as she wants."

Anger coursed through me; he knew that Judy was the mother of my future baby. Why the fuck would he offer her such a position knowing I was planning on taking her home with me? I wanted to ask Lucy, but something told me to keep that to myself for right now.

"I need to speak with him," I said through my teeth, my jaw tightened.

Lucy noticed the expression on my face, and she frowned. She nodded, though, and stepped out of my way, not saying a word about my sudden sour mood.

I walked past her and towards the office door. Just as I reached the door, it opened and Judy stood in front of me. She gasped and clutched her chest, her eyes wide when she noticed me standing in front of her.

"Gavin?" She said, her breathing slowing once realization dawned on her and she registered that it was me and not some serial killer. "W...what are you doing here?"

The stammer didn't go unnoticed, and it made my eyes darken. I knew Sampson was seated at his desk, watching our exchange with quiet eyes, though I paid him no attention.
