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
Erin’s POVI was usually confident in my abilities, but this wasn’t something I was sure I could pull off.Rumors were already spreading across the werewolf world like wildfire and there was no way I was going to be able to put a stop to it. I hated to admit it, but Theo was right. I had to use this to my advantage.Gavin said he was going to make a phone call and handle these rumors. It wouldn’t be long now before his statement was released and the rumors were shut down for good. But maybe they didn’t have to be shut down.I could tell him that I wanted to be with him and go to that Alpha convention with him. My stomach felt uncomfortable at the very thought of it, but Emily seemed to have perked up a little.She liked the idea of going to that convention with Gavin. She didn’t like the idea of anyone else going with him. Maybe this could benefit us both.But I had to act quickly before Gavin made any phone calls.I
Gavin’s POVEverybody at the press conference was in awe of her. Including Gavin who couldn’t seem to stop staring at her.She spoke with such confidence and grace that he hardly knew who she was. Actually, it reminded him of the old Erin back in high school. She had the same confident demeanor she did back then too.The same Erin that rejected him and destroyed both him and his wolf.He worried that history was going to repeat itself.But the way she told the world of her love for him, it made his heartbeat quickly in his chest and he couldn’t help the stupid grin that appeared on his lips.She was absolutely stunning to him; she was stunning to everybody no doubt.After a pause of silence, the crowd erupted into loud cheers and applause. They stood to their feet to continue clapping.Even Gavin clapped for his future Luna.She chuckled and stared around at all the pleased faces, bowing her head sl
Erin’s POVEmily was incredibly excited; my heart was pounding at lightning speed, and I could hardly contain myself.The way he grabbed my arm and pulled me away from those jerks who were eyeing me like I was some kind of piece of meat, left my skin feeling tingly under his touch.We went down a hall, away from the eyes of the people. He didn’t slow down for even a moment, and I wondered which bathroom he was going to go into.I knew he had one in his mind.To my surprise, he went to the women’s room and knocked on the door. When nobody answered, he took it upon himself to open it.He pulled me inside along with him and latched the door before checking to make sure nobody was inside. Then he turned to me, and I saw the playfulness and hunger in his gaze, causing the palms of my hands to grow sweaty.Before I could grasp what was happening, he was lifting me onto the counter and positioning himself between my legs.&n
