Erin’s POVTraitor? I glanced up at Gavin who didn’t seem fazed by that wolf’s last word before he died. “What did he mean by traitor?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at him. “I don’t know,” Gavin shrugged. “It doesn’t matter now. He’s gone.” He turned away from me and walked toward his sister who was struggling to get herself free. With an easy motion, he was able to untie the rope and it fell to the ground around her feet. He also untied her arms, and she ripped the tape off her mouth right away. She burst into tears and wrapped her arms around her brother; her entire body quivering as she cried. “It’s okay now. You’re safe,” he said to her gently. “Nobody is going to hurt you again.” I was still staring at Gavin in shock; I had no idea what that wolf meant when he called him a traitor. It seemed like he knew Gavin somehow. I mean, everybody knew Gavin because he was the most powerful and richest Alph
Erin’s POV“I don’t believe that at all. Gavin wouldn’t betray me like that,” I said, shaking my head.I had to admit that I had my own concerns, especially after that wolf called him a traitor. But there had to be an actual explanation. Other than the fact that he was part of the Killer organization.Gavin was the strongest and most powerful Alpha; there was no way he would be part of something like that.“There’s a reason why he’s being called a traitor by a member of the organization,” Theo said, staring between the two of us. “We were blind to Judy’s motives in the past and we aren’t going to make a mistake like that again. We can’t be too careful anymore.”“There has to be another explanation,” I said, shaking my head. “He wouldn’t do that to me.”“Erin, I know he’s your mate and you have feelings towards him. But you might need to be prepared for the worst scenario. Your feelings are going to get you killed if you aren’
Gavin’s POVGavin wasn’t stupid; he knew that Erin and Henry were never married. But he also knew that Henry was in love with her.Erin looked so upset as she sobbed into her hands.“I don’t understand. Why would he break up with you?” He asked.“He accused me of still loving you. Then, he told me to get out,” she explained with slumping shoulders. “I didn’t know where else to go… so I came here…”Gavin was pleased that she went to him instead of elsewhere. That must mean that what Henry was saying must have been true. At least may be a little true.“You are always welcome to stay here, Erin,” Gavin said, wrapping his arms around her.It felt nice to have her there and immediately after Gavin had wrapped his arms around her, it seemed her body had relaxed greatly.“I’m sorry for piling this on you,” she breathed into him. “I just didn’t know what to do.”“You don’t have to apologize to me. You never
Erin’s POV“Somebody is after his family?” I asked, staring at Anna in disbelief. “Who?”This was my first time hearing this information and I couldn’t believe it. How could he not tell me something as serious as this?“I’m not sure and I don’t think Alpha Gavin knows either,” Anna said with a timid frown. “But they’ve been after his family for months. His parents are currently living in a safe house and—”“His parents??” I asked quickly.I knew his parents weren’t in town, but I didn’t think for a second that it was because he sent them away to a safe house.“Yes,” she said with a single nod. “They are currently living in a safe house for their protection. He finally convinced Miss Jill to go to a safe house as well. I think this whole thing with Mrs. Conrad convinced her even more though.”I must have looked as shocked as I felt because Anna, who was examining my face, spoke again in a softer tone.“I’m so
Gavin’s POVSeeing Erin in his office was alarming for Gavin at first; she wore her tight blouse and a shirt that nearly revealed her entire bottom half. He could see the outlining of her silk underpants and her cleavage was practically waiting for him.She stared at him like she had seen a ghost; it was obvious to him that she was snooping through his things, but her scent was hypnotizing.At that moment, he didn’t care what she was actually up to. All that mattered to him was what he wanted to do with her.His wolf was practically panting at her glorious scent; whether she was lying or not, he could smell her desires and it was mouthwatering.Her touch, against his torso though his shirt, was warm to his flesh. When he kissed her, it was electrifying.He wanted to bite onto her swollen lip and suck on it like it was candy. And she let him.She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling her close to him and running h
Erin’s POVI didn’t like being cruel to him over a cheap blouse, but I needed to get out of his office quickly. My entire body was incredibly warm, and my heart was racing at lightning speed. I wanted so much more of him; I needed more of him.But I had to get out of there.I hurried up the stairs before anyone saw me. I was completely bare; only the fabric of my shirt hid my breasts from the world, but only if I held them together.The last thing I needed was for Anna to spot me like this; then, she would know something was going on between Gavin and me.Once I was in the room, I felt relaxed. I dropped the ripped shirt onto the ground and grabbed my phone. I only had one message from Henry asking how my night was, but aside from that, I hadn’t spoken to him much besides telling him that I got inside the packhouse.I opened our text thread to send him a quick message.“Gavin’s being blackmailed by an unknown woman.
Erin’s POV“I’m telling you, Sasha… I heard them in his office. They sounded hot and heavy.”“I mean, she is quite pretty. But she wears such boring clothing and she’s a waitress. Completely out of Alpha Gavin’s lead.”“But I hear she’s the mate that rejected him after high school. Now that she’s single… this could be Alpha’s second chance.”I was walking by the halls when I heard a couple of maids gossiping. I knew I could find gossiping maids somewhere.As soon as they saw me, they stopped talking immediately and I saw life draining from their faces. They were both beat red and with gaping mouths.I rose my brows at them, folding my arms across my chest.“Miss Erin,” one of the maids said, bowing her head. “I’m so sorry. Please excuse us for outspeaking.”“You don’t need to apologize,” I assured them, keeping my tone even. “I came here knowing that rumors would be started if I stayed. I guess I just wasn’t
Erin’s POVGavin ran his fingers down my body as he kissed my neck with a heated passion. My entire body felt like it was about to be engulfed in flames from how hot I was.I wanted him so badly, but this mission was way too important.I also really wanted to remain respectful to Henry, knowing that he was at our home, waiting for my updates.“Wait…” I said breathlessly as I pressed the palm of my hand against his incredible chest.He stopped kissing me, but only for a moment. He kissed my lips gently, biting at my bottom lip and bringing it into his mouth. I could feel his manhood growing hard with each passing moment. He was getting hungrier too.“You’ve been sweating. I can smell it on you. You should take a shower first,” I said between his kisses.“I’ll take one after,” he said in a low and incredibly sexy tone; it made my heart flip in my chest.“I’d prefer to have my way with you clean,” I said, wiggl
Erin’s POV“Beta Seth? What are you doing?” I asked, trying to shove him away from me, but his knee went into my stomach, pinning me to the wall even more.“I asked you a question,” he growled in return. “What are you really doing here? What are your intentions with Alpha Gavin?”“Get off of me,” I hissed and this time I shoved him with a little too much force to the point where he stumbled backward in surprise. “Don’t ever touch me like that again.”I went to walk away, but he grabbed onto my arm, spinning me around to face him.“If you are here to harm Alpha Gavin in any way—”“I’m not trying to harm him, I’m trying to save him,” I said firmly, pulling my arm away from his grip.He narrowed his eyes at me.“Save him? What do you mean?”“I know about the blackmailer,” I said through my teeth.I watched the life drain from Seth’s face as he stared at me.“How did you hear about her
Erin’s POVI often ask myself, if I could go back in time, what’s the one thing I would change?When I was a teenager, I would have said not kissing Gavin as nearly as much as I wanted to. I wanted him to know just how much I loved him and how badly my heart ached for him when I wasn’t there with him.Even before I had got my wolf, I knew Gavin was my mate. He has always been the kind of boy you could never forget.I loved him deeply and I would forever love him until my last breath.When I broke up with him, it was like my entire world had fallen apart. But my father gave me an ultimatum that I couldn’t ignore.If I didn’t break up with him, Gavin would never be able to attend that incredible college he’s been wanting to go to. I couldn’t be the reason that Gavin’s dream didn’t happen. I never wanted to stand in his way.I did the only thing
Gavin’s POVGavin stood at the end of the aisle, which was located in the gardens of Gavin’s pack. The gardens were one of the most beautiful landmarks in the werewolf territory and Erin requested the wedding be held there considering it was just outside the chapel.Gavin didn’t care where they got married, as long as Erin was with him.Jill walked down the aisle with Beta Seth followed by a couple more bridesmaids and groomsmen from the pack.Soon, it would be Kelsey and Tyler, the best man and maid of honor.Then, it would be Erin.His Erin.The thought filled him with so much joy; Roman could hardly wait to see his mate after days of barely seeing her.The music was playing loudly and the doors to the chapel remained closed.Kelsey and Tyler were supposed to walk through the doors by now.What was keeping them?Gavin envisioned his best man being drunk and Kelsey trying to sober
Gavin’s POV“Are you out of your mind?!” Gavin asked as soon as they were back in the packhouse and away from the ears of Theo. “Why would you tell him I’ll join the organization?”“Did you not want to?” Erin asked, raising her brows. “I saw the look in your eyes. I knew you wanted to.”“That doesn’t matter. What about our pup?”“What about our pup?” Erin counter-asked, folding her arms across her chest. “Our pup will be just fine. It’s not like we are going to be absent parents. I’ve been part of the organization this whole time and you’ve never noticed.”“But I didn’t know you were on dangerous missions. If anything happens to us—”“Nothing is going to happen to us. Theo will make sure of that,” she assured him, but he didn’t feel very reassured.“But if something does happen to us… our pup would be an orphan,” he said, meeting her eyes.“Then, let’s make sure nothing happens to us,” she said, taking him b
Gavin’s POVGavin spent the last few days working tiredly in the nursery. He’s been wanting to surprise Erin with this for a long time and he was excited to reveal it to her.Erin spent the next few evenings giving the nursery her own final touches.But one afternoon, she tiredly came into his office, peering over at him with a timid frown on her face.“Have you been sleeping?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at her paling face.“A little at a time,” she admitted. “The pup is very active and makes sleeping difficult.”“I’ll call the doctor and see if he can prescribe you anything,” he said, about to pick up the phone.“I’d rather not take medication. Maybe if he knows of a natural solution or remedies,” I said.“I’ll ask him,” he assured me.“Can it wait until later, though?” I asked. “My boss, Theo from the organization wants to speak with you.”Gavin heard stories about the leader of the org
Erin’s POV5 months later.I sat at the bakery, staring at the many pieces of cake that sat before me on incredibly fancy dining ware.“I think all the cake is delicious,” Jill, who sat beside me, said with a mouthful of cake.“Yes, but I need to find the best one,” I said in return.“I really love red velvet,” Kelsey said from the other side of Jill as she took a big spoonful of the red velvet cake.“I never get to eat like this. I’m always worried about my figure. Let me have my moment,” Jill pleased. “Besides, I spent the last few months hiding in a safe house.”After months of searching for Jessie to no prevail, we decided to move on with our lives. Which meant bringing Gavin’s family home.“In just a few days, I’m going to be walking down the aisle to marry my mate,” I breathed, a large smile spreading across my face. “Everything has to be perfect.”“Oh, don’t forget, you have lunch with my mother th
Gavin’s POVOut of all the things for Erin to blurt out at that moment, Gavin certainly was not expecting that one.Her face was as red as cherry as soon as those words left her mouth.She couldn’t believe she blurted it out like that either.“You’re pregnant?” Gavin managed to ask after what felt like an eternity of silence.Tears filled her eyes, and he could see the shame that lurked behind her gaze. She was truly struggling with this, and Gavin didn’t understand why.Unless the baby wasn’t ours.“Oh… it’s ours,” Roman said, sniffing the air. “She’s having our pups!”“You knew about this?” Gavin growled at his wolf. “And you didn’t think to tell me?”“Our mate was right, with everything going on, it never seemed like the right time. Besides, I only now just picked up the scent. Go easy on her… I don’t want anything disrupting this baby of ours.”“Are you mad?” Erin brought Gavin out of his con
Erin’s POV“Gavin is awake,” Beta Seth said into the phone.Relief flooded through me.Thank goddess; that meant he was going to be okay, and I could finally breathe. It’s been killing me not being able to go to the hospital. But with Jessie still, out there, we were all still in so much danger.Theo doesn’t think Jessie is going to strike back this soon, especially when her reputation has been tanked as soon as her identity was revealed to the public.But that didn’t make me any less worried that she would soon return.“The first person he asked about was you,” Seth continued, pulling at my heartstrings painfully.I hated that I couldn’t be with Gavin, but finding Jessie right now was way too important.“He also doesn’t think bringing his family home is a good idea,” Seth said with uncertainty in his voice. “I thought it was mentioned that there’s no trace of Jessie or anyone left in her organization.” 
Erin’s POV“…!!”“Oh, my goddess,” Emily cried from within me.I felt her heart shattering just as I saw Gavin falling to the ground.Red was oozing under my wolfed paws as his blood mixed with the water.The water was done spraying, and Gavin and I were left on the roof alone. I fell to my knees and placed my hands on Gavin’s chest. The dagger stuck out of him, and blood continued to ooze.“Gavin… no…” I whispered as tears fell from my eyes. I felt so broken at this moment; I couldn’t lose him. Not like this.“Don’t let her get away,” he said in a raspy whisper. “She’s still alive…”I knew I needed to go after her; I couldn’t let her get away after it took us so long to find her. But the image of Gavin bleeding out before my eyes was too painful. I couldn’t just walk away from him.Theo and a couple of the men from the organization burst through the doors of the rooftop and he narrowed his eyes at
Erin’s POVPregnant?!My heart thudded violently against my chest.Could I really be pregnant?I pressed the palm of my hands to my stomach and felt that warmth radiating throughout my body and giving me strength.I gasped.I knew at that moment that it was true.I had a little pup in me.I kept my hands on my stomach as I turned to face Jessie.“You wouldn’t hurt me knowing that I’m carrying a small pup,” I said to her, narrowing my eyes at her stunned expression.“You’re pregnant?!” She gasped, staring at me with wide eyes. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” In high school, when envisioned getting pregnant with Gavin’s baby much later in life, I obviously thought it would be much different than this.I never imagined in a million years that my best friend would be trying to kill me.I always thought Jessie would be the first person who knew that I was pregnant, and I gue
