“We’ll meet you back at the hotel, okay?” I tell Ally, kissing her before leaving her with Liam, Nate, and Lulu.
“We’re not letting that bitch get out,” Gavin growls as we head back into the courthouse.
“Over my dead fucking body,” I growl, pulling out my phone. It rings a few times before the other side of the line picks up. “Hey, Dad.” I look to Gavin. “We need a favor.”
“She’s not getting out.”
I step around the corner, seeing Ally standing in the middle of the living room as she stares at the phone in disbelief.
“What?” I ask, not sure if I heard her right.
She looks up from her phone, blinking at me in shock. “She’s not getting out. That was my lawyer on the phone. She’s been denied parole.”
“Thank fuck,” I mutter to myself, letting out a sigh in relief.
“What!” Lulu gasps, jumping up from the couch and rushing over to Ally. “That's amazing.”
Ally’s beautiful face slips into a small smile. “That's not all.” Tears spring to her eyes. “Because of my statement and a few new victims who came forward, the judge has added another five years to her sentence.”
Now that's what I fucking want to hear.
A grin splits across my face, finding Gavin. He looks at me with his own smirk.
Lulu glances over at us, brows furrowed. I just smile at her, shooting her a wink. She narrows her eyes, letting me know she’s on to me. I don’t even care.
“Fuck yes!” Liam shouts with excitement, picking Ally up and spinning her around.
Now my girl can relax. Now she can stop worrying about her abuser being let out.
“I’m so fucking happy for you, Sweetheart.” When Liam puts her down, I pull Ally into my arms and kiss her roughly.
“I feel like I can finally breathe,” she says with a laugh. “I really thought there might be a chance that she would get out early.”
Absolutely fucking not was I going to let that happen.
“She’s right where she belongs.” Nate kisses Ally’s temple. “I’m so happy for you, baby.”
“Me too.”
Me fucking too.
To celebrate, Liam cooks for everyone, and we end up snuggled on the couch watching a comedy show. We end the day with some much-needed laughs after a week that’s been filled with nail-biting stress.
When night comes, Ally is tucked into one of my sides, Lulu on the other. We’ve been staying at Ally’s place, one I’m still not used to being inside.
She had an Alaskan king delivered after we met, so there was a place for us to sleep together when we came back to LA. Knowing she just knew we would be a pack, and that everything would work out, makes me love her even more.
When the morning comes, I find Lulu sitting in the backyard, watching the sun rise, coffee in hand.
“Hiding from our Omega, I see.” I chuckle.
Lulu’s eyes snap up to mine like she’s been caught with her hand in the cookie jar.
She chews on her lower lip, her guilty look making her all the more adorable. “I’m sorry, okay!” she huffs out a laugh. “I love my girl. But I also love coffee. So maybe I sneak a cup or two in the morning. I don’t want to be rude and drink it in front of her face."
“You're adorable.”
“Thanks.” She smiles. “I try.”
