Erin’s POV“How’s your meal?” Henry asked as he often did from across the table, staring at me with a loving curiosity in his eyes. It was like old times, and I would be lying if I said this wasn’t nice.“It’s delicious,” I tell him honestly. “Thank you, Henry.”He beamed at my feedback and went back to eating his food. We ate silently for the most part; we exchanged some words here and there, but mainly we didn’t have much to discuss. We had said everything we needed to say earlier, and I had run out of words for him.Henry doesn’t know what I am planning, and I wanted to keep it that way. He would only try to stop me if he knew the truth.I was going to find the Slayer hideout and defeat their leader, tonight. I couldn’t risk anybody else finding out about this.I knew where they were hiding; I had the coordinates in my backpack, which I had shoved under my bed to hide it from Henry’s viewing.As soon as he saw that it was packed, it would all be over for me.Gavin was planning on g
Erin’s POV“You’re a vampire,” I said, staring at the man before me. It wasn’t a question, but he answered it anyways.“It looks that way,” he sneered, taking a step toward me. “And you must be Erin; the pesty werewolf who can’t seem to let things go.”“How do you know who I am?” I asked, furrowing my brows together.“Oh, trust me… we’ve all heard who you are,” he laughed. “You are all the organization talks about.”“You mean the Slayers?” I asked. “I thought this was where their hideout is. Where is everybody?”He laughed again, only his laugh was dark and chilling.“I can’t believe you fell for that. Did you really think it was going to be that easy?”“What?” I asked; I didn’t like where this was going and suddenly, I started to feel vulnerable.“Bane… you really think we’d let you meddle in his mind and have him reveal our secrets? Not even your Alpha’s abilities can do that.”My heart fell into my stomach.Was he saying what I think he was saying?“Are you saying that Bane is stil
Henry’s POVThe meeting with Henry’s recent client seemed to be going on forever.She was a middle-aged woman, human, with fair skin and curly blonde hair. She sat across the table with tear-filled eyes, wiping them with a white handkerchief.They’ve been going back and forth over the recent settlement she received from her soon-to-be ex-husband, but it doesn’t seem to be enough for her. It was obvious to both Henry and the judge that she had only married this man for his fortune and now that she was getting divorced, she was trying to milk every penny out of him. He had agreed to pay a certain settlement, something Henry had agreed upon with him directly, but it seems his client is reluctant to take the money knowing that there is a chance that she could get more.“Ms. Conrad—”“Judy,” she clarified. “I would prefer if you’d call me Judy.”She didn’t want to be called by her maiden name or her married name.“Judy,” Henry corrected. “This is a large sum of money that he is offering y
Erin’s POVIt was like I was never stabbed; the wound that was once on my chest was completely gone.But how was that possible?It was a silver dagger that plunged into my chest; even if my wolf had been able to heal me from it, it wouldn’t have happened this quickly. I touched my chest and felt no pain; my breathing had strengthened.I stared up at the night sky with a racing heart.I sat up, searching around my perimeters and that’s when I saw him.I couldn’t help the gasp that escaped my lips. My entire body trembled as I realized what had happened.It was Gavin!He healed me.But how? I scrambled to my knees so I could crawl over to him; he was completely unconscious and there was a gaping wound on his chest. His clothes and the dirt surrounding him were filling with his blood at a rapid speed.He was hardly breathing.“Gavin…” I spoke in a broken whisper.I ran my fingers over his chest and attempted to stop the bleeding with my hands.“He transferred your injuries to himself,”
Henry’s POV By the time Henry got to the forest and spotted Erin, it was too late. Gavin was already there. There was a jealous feeling in the pit of Henry’s stomach as he watched Gavin kneeling over Erin’s unconscious body. It was obvious from where Henry was standing that she was stabbed with a silver dagger. She wouldn’t have much longer to live unless Gavin was able to heal her. Gavin was incredibly powerful from what Henry knew about him so there was no telling what kind of powers he really had. Henry wasn’t surprised when he saw the glowing of Gavin’s hands as he pressed the palms into Erin’s chest. He watched in amazement, and from afar, as Erin’s wound began to heal, and a large wound appeared on Gavin’s chest. He was transferring the damage done to Erin to himself. Could Gavin die because of this? Erin’s breathing grew stronger, and she made a soft moaning sound through her parted lips. Gavin gently placed her back on the ground before he fell to the ground himself an
Erin’s POV “Gavin, you can’t be serious,” I said, staring up at him with wide and shocked eyes. His face was very serious looking, and his eyes remained dark as he poured his gaze into mine. “I have never been more serious in my life,” he said in a firm tone. “I wish for you to marry me and be my Luna, Erin. I’m done playing these games. We love each other and we should be together.” “It’s not that simple,” I told him, shaking my head. Of course, I had always dreamt of marrying him. He’s my mate and I love him so much. But I couldn’t risk him finding out about the Moonshadow organization and even still, I couldn’t risk him being in any danger because of me. I’ve already lost so many people in my life… I couldn’t lose Gavin too. The very thought hurt my heart. “It is that simple,” he said, raising his brows. “Erin—” “I can’t marry you,” I said quickly, meeting his eyes once again. I could see the pure disappointment on his face, and I felt bad, but he had to have known that I
Erin’s POV I can’t remember the last time Theo was in our realm. He’s spent so much time in the Moonshadow realm that he created. I should have known the moment I felt that strange sensation upon entering my home that something was wrong. Theo had come through his portal and was sitting on my bed. He looked at me with such fury that it brought a chill to my spine. I didn’t like it when Theo was mad; whenever he was mad, bad things happened. I deliberately went against his wishes and because of that, there was going to be hell to pay. Henry stayed by my side though; he had a hold on my hand, and I knew he wasn’t planning on letting me go, despite the wrath of Theo. Theo was quiet for a long moment like Henry, and I stared at him from the doorway. He kept his eyes locked on mine; they were dark and deadly. I wondered what he was thinking at that moment. I wondered if I even wanted to know. Even Emily was growing nervous about Theo’s presence. I watched in my mind’s eye as she
Erin’s POV “Where are you going?” Henry asked, following me as I reached the front door of our home. “I need to warn Gavin that Susanna is still dangerous,” I told him; my heart was racing in my chest, and I could hardly think straight. “He knows that she’s a danger,” Henry said, grabbing onto my arm. Theo was watching from the doorway of our bedroom with a timid frown on his face. He wasn’t going to try and stop me like Henry was. He knew I was going to do what I wanted regardless of what he said. “He suspects that she’s still a danger,” I said in return, snapping my eyes in his direction. “There’s a difference. He doesn’t actually know anything. But if Susanna is still a vessel, the Slayers will probably try to break her out. They are powerful Henry. I don’t want to take any chances.” “What do you expect Gavin to do about it?” Henry asked, narrowing his eyes at me. He was adamant
