Gavin’s POV“Alpha, I just got word from the Moonshadow organization,” Seth said, coming into Gavin’s office. “They are refusing to tell us who their members are.”Gavin stared at his Beta for a long moment, fury rising in him.“If they won’t tell us, then I’ll have to figure it out myself.”…Erin’s POVHenry was already home by the time I returned from work. I tried hard to brush my encounter with Gavin out of my mind before returning home.I had to be careful. Henry was extremely talented at finding things out and I didn’t want him to know this information. I didn’t want to know how weak I had become.I smelled the fresh scent of dinner being cooked in the kitchen. As I entered the kitchen, I see him standing over a hot stove. He was in the moment and seemed to be cooking with such delicacy.Henry was an amazing cook; I wasn’t bad at cooking either and if I had gotten home first, I would have made dinner. I was exhausted tonight though, so I was pleased that he took the initiative.
Erin’s POVErin watched Henry leave feeling nothing but dread. If something were to happen to him on this mission, she would never forgive herself. She had abandoned her partner completely, forcing him to fight for the Moonshadow organization by himself.She was once a trusted member of Moonshadow, but she quit after her “incident.” She couldn’t even think about returning to them, regardless how badly Henry wanted her to.She just wanted to live a simple life and pretend that none of her past had ever happened. She wanted to live a happy and normal life with her husband.But even Henry wasn’t simple, unlike how he portrayed himself. Although he was great at playing the life of simple; he only did this for her because it was what she requested. She needed to keep the act of a simple life and Henry agreed to help her in any way he could.Externally, he is a lawyer. He’s rich, gentle, and elegant. He appears as if he wouldn’t hurt a fly.But on the inside, he was dangerous and powerful w
Gavin’s POVThe previous night. Gavin had returned to his home only to find the Television playing loudly from his workers in the living room. He paused when he saw Susanna’s face. She was holding up her hand and his heart fell into his stomach when he saw the giant-encrusted diamond ring occupying her finger.That was the same diamond ring he had brought Erin after they graduated high school. The same ring he was going to propose to her with. He kept that ring in his nightstand drawer, never to be opened.How the hell did it get on Susanna’s hand?”This broadcast was happening live; she was announcing an engagement that was never discussed.“Bring me, Susanna, right away,” he seethed, turning his back to the TV and going to his office.Susanna arrived an hour later; she had a sheepish look in her eyes as she entered his office. She kept her hand behind her back, probably trying to hide the ring from him.“Hello, my love,” she said with a plastered smile on her lips. “I wasn’t expect
Gavin’s POV“You broke up with her?!” Seth asked, shocked, as he stood in the entryway of Gavin’s office.Gavin didn’t even look up from his computer when he responded.“You saw the news report. I can’t have a Luna who will lie to the kingdom in such a way.”“But Alpha she’s—”“I don’t care who she is,” Gavin said with a growl. “I won’t have that kind of trouble. Now leave me. It’s not your say whom I marry.”Seth straightened his stance, clearing his throat like he was going to say more. But one deadly glare from Gavin silenced him. Gavin was not one to be messed with; not now.He soon left the office, only to return a few moments later with a worried frown on his face.“Uh, sir. You have a visitor,” he said.Gavin glanced up from his computer.“Who is it?”“It’s… uh…Henry. That waitress’s husband…”…Third Person POVBack at the restaurant, Susanna was just humiliated by that bitch, Erin. But she’s realizing quickly that she can’t retaliate because Erin has powers. The kind of power
Erin’s POVI stared at the ring in shock.He must have gone to see Gavin.Being part of the Moonshadow organization, Henry has his way of finding things out. I shouldn’t have been surprised that he would soon find out about Gavin. I have been his partner for many years; I knew what he was capable of.I thought about the day I first met Henry. It was 10 years ago, right after my parents had died from a werewolf pack fight. My heart was so broken; I had previously broken up with the love of my life and now I was completely alone in the world.My family was incredibly rich and of course, left me their fortune, but it wasn’t enough to dry my tears. During that time, when I thought I have cried all that I could, I have woken my special ability. The manipulation of liquids.For a while, the ability frightened me. I wasn’t sure what it meant; I only read a little bit about the special abilities of wolves. I read that they could do a lot of damage if not trained properly. I didn’t want to do
Erin’s POV“Thank you for retrieving the ring for me,” I say, peering up at Henry who smiled down at me with a kind look in his eyes.“I would do anything for you, Erin. When will you learn that?”A blush crept across my face; I had been so deceitful to him and so fixated on my own life, that I had almost forgotten that Henry was my partner. He was my best friend and the one I trusted the most in this life. I should have never lied to him; I should have been straightforward with him from the beginning.“I promise, I won’t keep anything more from you,” I promise him. “I know it wasn’t fair that I kept such a secret. I’m sorry, Henry.”“You don’t need to apologize,” he said softly. “I understand.”I kissed him gently on the lips when I heard Kelsey from behind me.“Erin, will you be returning to work?” She asked, raising her brows.Henry laughed and kissed me again.“I’ll see you at home later,” he assured me.“I’ll walk you outside,” I say quickly, glancing over my shoulder at Kelsey w
Erin’s POV“Why the hell is Gavin here suddenly?” I couldn’t help but ask Emily in pure panic.I was hoping the panic wasn’t revealed on my face, but I was completely frozen as Gavin and Henry continued to stare at one another.“I don’t know but you can’t deny that this is exciting,” Emily chuckled in return.I rolled my eyes at my wolf; she found the most ridiculous things exciting. One of these days, she was going to get me in a trouble.Henry held his hand out to Gavin as he said, “Hello again, Alpha Gavin.”Gavin kept his eyes locked on Henry’s; they were dark and filled with threat. I wouldn’t even dare speak or breathe for that matter. My breath was caught in my throat as my heart thudded violently against my chest.Eventually, Gavin reached his hand out and accepted Henry’s hand. They shook hands and I felt myself sighing with relief. But then I realized it was far from over; their handshake continued. It seemed as if their hands were strengthening; their knuckles growing white
Erin’s POVMy heart fell into my stomach as I stared into Henry’s eyes. He was looking at me fondly and had a faint smile on his lips.He doesn’t find anything odd with what he had just asked.He stared at me with such curiosity lingering on his face.I glanced at Gavin briefly who was leaning back in his chair with his arms folded across his chest, finding amusement in what was going on in front of him.It was obvious he had done this.I touched Henry’s arm gently, keeping my eyes steadily on his.“Henry?” I asked, keeping my tone low. “Are you there?”“Of course,” he said, furrowing his brows together. “Is this your fiancé?”I pressed my lips together and glanced at Gavin.“Whatever you did to him, reverse it,” I say through gritted teeth.Gavin smirked.“I don’t know what you are talking about,” he said, a twinkle of humor in his eyes.“Gavin, please,” I say, softening my tone. “Reverse this…”He stared at me for a moment longer before sighing.He turned to Henry, and I watched as
