Erin’s POV“Miss Erin! Are you okay?” Anna asked, knocking on the outside door. I was feeling fine, and this came out of nowhere. Oh goddess, don’t tell me I’m getting sick right before the Alpha Convention. This couldn’t possibly be happening to me right now. I held onto my stomach as I vomited again into the toilet; I couldn’t answer her right now. I stared at my gorgeous gown that hung on the back of the bathroom door and I felt a sense of dread. If I got sick in that dress, I could kiss this convention goodbye. Gavin would be so upset with me. This convention meant everything to him, and I couldn’t let him down right now. Not like this. “Miss Erin?” Anna asked again with another knock. “What’s going on?” I flushed the toilet and grabbed a towel off the counter; I wiped my mouth just before pulling myself to my feet and opening the door. Anna stared at me for a short while, exam
Gavin’s POVGavin saw the blackmailer and his entire body had gone numb. Erin sensed something was wrong because she kept asking if he was okay.But he could barely speak. He wasn’t afraid of her, more like assessing what she was doing and what her game plan was.He stared at the redheaded masked woman from across the room; she was talking to a couple of different gentlemen. Placing her hand on their arms and laughing at whatever they said.They had no idea the kind of dangerous woman they were dealing with.It was unclear if she had noticed him yet, but he was hoping she hadn’t.He couldn’t be too focused on her because he needed to gain the respect of other Alphas and the shareholders around the kingdom.“Alpha Gavin,” a voice sounded walking through the crowd of people, bringing Gavin to the present moment.It was Alpha Peter or the Redmoon pack; another fierce competitor who already has so much
Erin’s POVMy heart was pounding violently against my chest as I stared around at all the people clapping and cheering. I had no idea where that speech had come from, only that it felt right to say.Talking about Gavin and me having children one day brought warmth to my body and pleased my wolf. I placed my hands on my stomach and frowned; what was this incredible feeling I was having?Gavin was looking in the distance and I could see the worry on his face, even when nobody else could. I knew exactly who he was looking for it; his blackmailer was still there, and she was taunting him.I felt furious that I couldn’t be more helpful to him at that moment; she was ruining a moment that was supposed to be incredible. This convention was a huge deal to Gavin, and it was being destroyed by this woman.I turned away and grabbed my phone; there had been no messages or calls from Henry, but I saw that Theo tried to reach me a few times t
Erin’s POVGavin and his blackmailer were both gone.I couldn’t believe that he actually left.I not only felt disappointed, but I was also a little hurt by this. I shook the thought out of my head and jumped into action. The last thing I heard her saying to him was her trying to convince him to go with her to his hotel suite.I’m assuming it was the same suite I went to when Gavin first came back into my life. The thought of him taking her there left an unsettled feeling in the pit of my stomach.“The results will be in shortly,” the announcer’s voice boomed throughout the convention.Everyone was turning their attention to the front stage to prepare for the announcement of the new rankings of the Alphas.I wasn’t going to be able to stick around to see where Gavin’s new ranking was.I had to get to that hotel.Thankfully, the hotel wasn’t too far away from the convention, so it didn’t take me long
Erin’s POVI was staring at my best friend Jessie in the face, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. They must have been playing tricks on me. I was overly exhausted, and I wasn’t fully feeling well; maybe this sickness was making me delusional.But the look on Gavin’s face said otherwise. I could tell he was just as shocked as I was.Jessie was alive and she was standing right in front of us with an evil glimmer in her icy eyes. She gave me a smile that sent a chill down my spine.“How… how are you here…?” I asked in a hoarse whisper.“I didn’t die,” she said, narrowing her eyes at me. “I lied. I only pretended that I was dead…”“You’re the leader of the Slayer organization?” Gavin asked, staring at her in disbelief.I was at a loss for words; my entire body felt numb, and my brain was hollow. I couldn’t think straight, and I wasn’t even sure if I was standing on my feet.“I am,” she confirmed, looking between th
Erin’s POVHow could I have been this stupid?I let her distract me for so long that I didn’t even think that those at the convention could be in danger. The convention was filled with incredibly rich and powerful wolves; not to mention more wolves with abilities.It was the perfect place for the Slayers to raid and that’s exactly what they were doing at that moment while I was having an argument with Gavin in a hotel room.We had to stop the argument to get back to that convention and I knew he understood that as well.Jessie was long gone by the time we got outside. We shifted into our wolf forms and went straight to the convention. I could already hear the screaming and the howling of the wolves as the vampires began raiding the place.My heart was pounding wildly against my chest once we neared the entrance.“Now would be a great time to tell me that the rest of the organization is going to be here to help,” Gavi
Gavin’s POVThe Killers and the Slayers were ransacking the Alpha conference!They were all working for one person and that would be Jessie; someone they all thought was dead long ago.Jessie was the one person he never suspected could be a blackmailer like this, or even associated with the Slayers.He knew back in high school that she had a small crush on him, but he never knew that it grew into an obsession. Which made no sense because she must have known her very family despised his family.The former leader of the Slayers, Jesse’s father, found Gavin’s family to be powerful and fierce with a great amount of power. They spent the better part of a decade trying to drink their blood for their abilities. But they always put a stop to them. That is until they took Gavin as a hostage. Then, his parents had no other choice but to give the Slayers their abilities in exchange for Gavin’s life.The Slayers made a promise
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
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
