Chapter 866\u00a0<\/p>\n
Levi\u2019s presence lingered here like a stain that wouldn\u2019t wash out, even though he\u2019d been locked away for months.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gavin\u2019s hand rested firmly at my lower back, steady and protective. He hadn\u2019t said much on the drive here, and I knew it was because he was worried about me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStay by my side,\u201d he had told me as we got out of the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The guard led us down a narrow corridor and stepped outside a reinforced room. Thick glass separated us from the inside. Levi sat at the table, wrists shackled, his dark hair longer than I remembered, his face gaunt\u2026 but his eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
were the same.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sharp\u2026 Calculating\u2026. Watching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment his gaze landed on Gavin, his mouth twisted into something between amusement and disdain. He leaned back in his seat, his eyes narrowed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, if it isn\u2019t my old friend, Gavin Landry,\u201d Levi drawled. \u201cWhat honor do I have for this visit, Almighty Alpha?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gavin didn\u2019t look the least bit amused.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe came for information,\u201d Gavin said, pulling out a seat for me to sit down. I sat down, and Gavin sat in the seat beside me, his hand never leaving my thigh. I wrapped my fingers around his hand, as if that were enough to ground\u00a0<\/p>\n
Levi let\u00a0<\/p>\n
out a bark of laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course, you did\u2026 why am I not surprised that you can\u2019t figure things out on your own?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCut the shit, Levi-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTell me, Gavin\u2026 did you ever figure out that Lila wasn\u2019t the true heiress?\u201d Levi interrupted. \u201cDid you figure out who it was?\u201d His eyes flickered to me, and I saw something flash in them that made dread fill the pit of my\u00a0<\/p>\n
stomach.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHow do you know this?\u201d I found myself asking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Levi let out another laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, you\u2019d be surprised at what I know,\u201d Levi murmured, before fixing his eyes on Gavin again. \u201cI know way more than you think, and Alpha Landry, here, knows it. That\u2019s why he\u2019s here\u2026 am I right?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJust tell us what you know about Megan Churchill,\u201d Gavin said through his teeth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A look of surprise flashed across Levi\u2019s face, and he blinked once\u2026 twice\u2026 three times.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy do you want to know about my sister?\u201d Levi asked, raising his brows.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom what I understand, she\u2019s not your sister,\u201d Gavin told him. \u201cShe used to be your stepsister before your parents divorced,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s still strange for you to be asking about her.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBecause she\u2019s Lila\u2019s mother,\u201d I blurted. \u201cBecause up until yesterday, we thought she was dead, only to find out that she\u2019s been alive the entire time and deemed missing. My adoptive parents admired her and thought of her every time they looked at me\u2026 because she gave me to them\u2026 or so they thought. But even if I was switched at\u00a0<\/p>\n

birth and Meg isn\u2019t really my mom, it almost feels like she is, and she still gave my parents a chance to be parents. So, I want to know where she is.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Levi studied me for a moment, and I couldn\u2019t tell if he believed me or not. He leaned his forehead on his seat and then nodded slowly, his eyes never leaving mine.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay\u2026\u201d he finally relented. \u201cI\u2019ll talk to you and tell you what you want to know. But only you. I don\u2019t want him\u00a0<\/p>\n
in the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He motioned his head towards Gavin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not leaving,\u201d Gavin said through his teeth. \u201cI won\u2019t leave you alone with my mate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are guards still everywhere,\u201d Levi muttered, nodding his head at the many guards that circled this place.\u201d What do you think is going to happen, Gavin?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI still don\u2019t trust you,\u201d Gavin growled, his wolf on edge.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I put my hand on his shoulder, trying to get him to ease back and calm down a bit.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou don\u2019t need to trust him, but I need you to trust me,\u201d I assured him. \u201cThere\u2019s no way he can get to me from the other side of this glass, and as he said, there are guards everywhere. And also, I\u2019m a born fighter. Please don\u2019t mistake my pregnancy for weakness. I can still kick ass when it\u2019s needed.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked at me\u2026 like really looked at me\u2026 and then he smiled as he leaned down and kissed me soundly on the lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay,\u201d he breathed against my mouth. \u201cI\u2019ll be right outside. If you need anything, use our bond to call me for help, and I\u2019ll be here faster than you can blink.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled and leaned into him, kissing him on the lips once more.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI will,\u201d I assured him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
We both ignored Levi, making immature gagging noises as we kissed. Gavin stood and walked out of the visitor center, and the guards closed the door behind him. I leaned back in my seat and faced Levi, my arms folding across my chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay\u2026 you got me here alone,\u201d I tell him, narrowing my eyes. \u201cTell me where your sister is and what happened to her?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
