Chapter 717
“And once we finally get these cuffs on you, your Lycan abilities will be gone as well,” one of the gammas boldly stated.
“Get the fuck away from me!” Levi growled, and then he tried to make a run for it. Despite not having his normal chairmen ability, he was still pretty fast, nd nobody seemed to be ready for him to attempt to run, certainly not Lila, who looked dumbstruck and gutted that he would leave her behind.
One of the Gammas had already cuffed her; she didn’t struggle because she knew she wouldn’t stand a chance in a room full of Lycans and Gammas.
Gavin turned to me, his grip on my hip loosening. He bent and brushed his lips against mine; the kiss was soft and sweet, taking me by surprise.
“Stay here,” he whispered against my lips.
I nodded, my heart pounding against my chest.
Then, it was like he vanished in front of my eyes. I blinked, feeling the slight breeze of him as he zoomed past me at lightning speed. I quickly turned to see that he already had Levi in his grip and his fist was plowing into Levi’s stomach, making him grunt out in pain.
My mouth fell open; I should be terrified… seeing Gavin like this wasn’t something I was used to. But I wasn’t terrified at all. In fact, it was kind of a turn on.
My cheeks were flushing for an entirely different reason.
Mica and Jermey didn’t look phased in the least; in fact, they looked amused. They glanced at one another, like they were having a silent conversation, before they turned to Levi and crowded around him.
“Levi, you are hereby removed as chairman. You are being arrested for so many crimes, and you are no longer the Alpha of your own pack. We will collectively decide on a new Alpha, a decision you have no part of,” Mica said, his lip curling in disgust. “In the meantime, you will be held in a maximum security prison until we can figure out what to do with you.”
The gammas finally managed to cuff Levi while he was at his weakest point; once the cuffs were on him, Gavin finally released him and let him fall to the floor in pain.
Within the second, Gavin was back by my side.
I gasped when I saw his blood knuckles. I grabbed his hand and brought the wound to my lips.
“You’re hurt,” I whispered, kissing his hand gently.
“It’ll heal quickly,” he assured me, wrapping me in his arms and inhaling my scent deeply. “I’ll be okay.”
I buried my face in his chest, and I knew with certainty that he was right; he was going to be okay. We all were… Levi was going to prison, and the threat was now gone.
“You did it,” I told him, peeking up at him, a smile lighting my face. “You actually did it.”
He smiled down at me, his lips finding mine in another sweet and gentle kiss. I’m sure he didn’t want to be too needy in front of others, and I couldn’t really blame him. I wanted him all to myself, nd I couldn’t wait until we could go back to the villa.
Mica approached us, breaking through the little bubble that we created for ourselves.
“Jeremy and I will get him out of here. We’ll meet up tomorrow to figure out the plans going forward,” Mica told Gavin.
Gavin nodded and outstretched his hand to shake; the men shook hands firmly.
“We have a hotel suite set up for you and Jeremy at the Carter Resort. Feel free to stay for as long as needed,” Gavin told him. “I’ll meet
you both there tomorrow afternoon for our meeting.
Mica nodded and turned to Jeremy, who was overseeing Levi and Lila being escorted out by the gammas.
“It was good to see you again, Miss Judy,” Mica said, bowing his head to me slightly.
“You as well, Alpha,” I said to him in return.
With that, the room started to clear, and Taylor approached us, still holding the phone up, livestreaming everything.
“Any final words?” He asked.
Gavin looked at the camera lens on the phone.
“I hope we can all move past the events of today. My territory is safe
ow, and that’s all that matters Stay tuned for a special announcement soon,” Gavin said, raising my brows.
“Signing out,” Taylor said as he turned off the livestream.
“Who were you streaming that to?” I asked.
“The world,” Taylor grinned. “There were billions of people watching. It was surreal. The comments are
going nuts through all of them, but there were a
did have time to go
ton about you.”
My eyes grew wide.
“Me?” I asked. “What were they saying about me?”
Taylor opened his mouth to speak, but Gavin stopped him.
“Perhaps we should discuss this another time,” he suggested, his point made loud and clear.
Taylor cleared his throat, looking a bit awkward, before he nodded and ran his hand through his hair.
“Right,” he murmured.
Gavin turned to me, his expression softening.
“How about we go home?” He suggested, tucking a strand of loose hair behind my ear.
I smiled at his words.
Home…
I liked the sound of that.
