Judy's POV

"Do you trust me?"

A seemingly simple question, and the answer came out of my mouth without hesitation. Because everything, despite our uprise and downfall... I did trust him. My entire being trusted him.

When I told him as such, he closed the gap between us and kissed me so deeply that it took my entire breath away. I was putty in his hands, and he knew he had me exactly where he wanted me. As he kissed me, he put his hands on my belly, caressing it gently, and I melted even more against him. If it wasn't for his arm being wrapped around my waist, I probably would have fallen to the ground from how weak my knees suddenly got.

He smiled against my lips, nipping at my bottom lip, and the sound of a throat clearing brought us back to the present moment. I was flushed and red in the face when we finally pulled apart. I was aware we still had a lot to talk about; I mean, Gavin did say some things that hurt my feelings and made me wary about whatever future he saw between us... If he even saw a future with me outside of this baby... those wounds he opened couldn't be healed this quickly. Though I was grateful that he was here and he saved me... I was also eager to get home, especially knowing that the remaining packmates were coming with us.

"We should get back to the pack," I told them, touching my swollen lips and fighting the smile that threatened to spread across my face.

Lucy nodded in agreement, tears brimming in her eyes.

"Or what's left of the pack," she whispered brokenly. "It's so bad there, Judy..."
