Page 41 of Saving Sarah (Blissful Bets)

Looking around at the nearly two hundred pack and friends, she noticed a lot of them were crying. Almost every female held some type of tissue, but some of the men were wiping their eyes, too. While they were getting ready, Devon told her of Nicole’s pregnancy. Sarah had been so caught off guard, she fell while trying to put on her pantyhose. Gavin had caught her, but not before her ass hit the floor. Between Evelyn and Nicole, she’d been bombshelled. But Devon informed her of Nicole already being two months ahead of Evelyn’s seven weeks, putting her at around fifteen weeks pregnant.

Devon made it clear that she wasn’t to tell a soul, not even Evelyn, although Stephen had probably already told her. With Ayden being alpha, her pregnancy had to be kept a secret from those outside the pack. The men weren’t chancing any rival coming along and hurting her or the baby.

With all the news of babies, weddings, and pack rules, her head was spinning by the time they pulled into the ranch. She wasn’t sure what she expected, but it sure as hell wasn’t the large two story house, sitting on land for as far as the eyes could see.

The minister’s voice drew her attention, and she watched as they repeated their vows and slid the rings on each other’s finger. Her heart swelled as Stephen let Evelyn bury her face in his chest. Her sobs were so hard, her whole body shook. Tears spilled down Sarah’s face while she tried to control her emotions. At least Ev could blame hers on hormones.

“Are you okay?”

She looked over at Gavin. His finger came up, brushing a tear off of her cheek. The tenderness in his touch quickly made more fall. How could things have turned out so perfect? She couldn’t believe how lucky she’d gotten to have both of her men in her life.

“I’m fine. Weddings just…”

Cheers echoed throughout the large expanse of open space, and Sarah turned just in time to see Ayden sweep Nicole in his arms and dip her down. Her arms clutched to his neck tightly as his lips locked to hers passionately. Sarah burst into tears at the romantic display of their love. It wasn’t every day you saw something like that.

“Oh, honey, come here.” Devon embraced Sarah tightly while she fell into some type of unexplainable breakdown.

Cheers went up again, and Sarah looked up to see Trevor eying Ayden with a mischievous smile. His arms gathered under Nicole’s bottom so fast she squealed as he gently lifted her. A giggle passed her lips as she leaned in and kissed him for what seemed like forever. Ayden burst out laughing, and everyone rushed up to start congratulating them.

Sarah wiped her eyes and looked up. Evelyn stood staring at her, her eyes swollen and red. When they made eye contact, both girls began laughing. They immediately walked away from their men and wrapped their arms around each other.

“So when do I get to come to yours?” Sarah asked jokingly.

“The guys and I were talking about that last night.” Evelyn lifted her hand to show off a large diamond. Sarah gasped, bringing Ev’s hand closer.

“Oh my God! Ev!”

She hugged her friend tightly while Evelyn tried to quiet her. “Sarah, shh, I don’t want to take away from Nicole’s big day.”

“Oh, no one can hear us. So when are you thinking about having yours?” “Soon, before I can’t fit into a dress.”

“I’m so happy for you, Ev.”

“I’m happy for you, too, Sarah. Your mates are good, and they’re going to take great care of you. Trust me when I tell you this. Don’t hold anything back when it comes to loving them. I know you’ve been hurt but give them your entire heart because I can tell they’re giving you theirs.”

“I will,” Sarah whispered. Her chest tightened while she thought over Ev’s words. She looked at the men staring at her adoringly, and she couldn’t comprehend how everything had come together. The pull had saved her. Without Gavin or Devon, she’d probably still be self-destructing, doing Bets, and where would that have gotten her? Fuck, she sure as hell didn’t want to think about that.

Evelyn hugged her, and they walked back to the waiting men. The band was already starting to play. The outdoor reception was in full swing. Darkness was settling in, and lights decorating the large tent twinkled beautifully. Sarah sighed happily and thought someday she’d love to have something like this.

* * * *

Devon watched Evelyn lead Sarah away from the reception and toward the house. Something about going to powder their noses, but he still couldn’t get a grip on the uneasiness of letting her go anywhere without him. Gavin’s hand slapped across his back, and he turned in his direction.

“So, when are we going to tell her? You know she’s going to find out soon enough, anyway.”

“You haven’t told her yet?” Stephen leaned closer to them, drawing Brandon’s attention. “No, I haven’t told her she’s pregnant yet.”

“Whoa, what?” Brandon said, stepping closer.

“Hell, come on, guys. I just found out three days ago myself. I needed time to process everything.”

Devon ran his fingers through his hair. He hated not knowing how Sarah was going to react to the news. Would she be happy, scared, angry, or would she be full of regrets? Shit, if it wasn’t for Gavin, he’d already have driven himself insane with worry.

“Well, how do you think she’s going to take it?”

He looked at Stephen and toward his mate walking in the front door. “If I knew, I probably would have already told her.”

Gavin gripped his shoulder, and he felt reassured. The sound of music and laughter floated around him, and he couldn’t wait to leave. He needed to tell Sarah tonight, as soon as they returned to the comforts of their apartment.
