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 POV“What do you mean he’s being blackmailed by a masked woman?” Henry asked disbelief in his tone.This was the first time I was able to actually call Henry since arriving at the packhouse. Theo was also on the other end, taking notes of everything I say no doubt. He was quietly processing this information; Theo was taking it well, but Henry on the side wasn’t too pleased with this news.“I mean, he doesn’t know who’s blackmailing him. But she’s threatening his family,” I explained.“Somebody other than Judy?” Henry asked. “Are you sure it isn’t her playing some game? She’s still out there somewhere. She escaped, remember?”Of course, I remembered.“It’s not Judy,” I told him. “He’s heard this woman’s voice. He’s been with this woman. He would have recognized if it was Judy.”I shuddered at the very thought of Gavin being with another woman.“Then who else could it be? Maybe the leader of the Slayer?” 
Gavin’s POV“I have to be honest; I’m a little surprised you asked me out. Especially when you didn’t call me after our last time together,” Cassie said, draping an arm through Gavin’s as they made their way through the gardens outside of the packhouse.Gavin pretended to listen to the things Cassie was saying, but he couldn’t bring himself to care that much. All he could think about while he was with her was Erin.He wondered if she knew that he was on a date and what she was thinking. He wondered if his plans to make her jealous were working or not.His wolf was angry with him for deceiving their mate like this, but in reality, it was Erin that was deceiving him.She was playing hot and cold with him, and it wasn’t fair. He had to teach her a lesson.He wanted to see how she truly felt for him, and this was the only way he could think of to do that.“Alpha?” Cassie said, peering up at him. “I’m sorry if I’m talking
Erin’s POVI stared at Gavin with disbelief on my face.I couldn’t believe he was asking me such questions. I had half a mind to tell him off; the other half wanted to walk away.Honestly, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to say to him.“I’m waiting,” Gavin said, leaning back in his chair and staring up at me with a stern expression on his face.“That wolf called you a traitor before he died,” I said, recalling the events from the other day. “I wanted to know why he said that…”“You think I lied to you?”“No…” I said, lowering my gaze to the ground. I needed to appear weak to him because that’s what he sees me as. He would grow suspicious if I acted any other way. “But I think you know more than you are telling me.”“That’s the definition of lying,” Gavin said, raising his brows at me. “When did you stop trusting me?”“It’s been a long time since we’ve been friends.”“That’s what we were? Friend
