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
Erin’s POVI pushed Gavin away from me as quickly as I could and slid off the counter. My heart was racing against my chest as I grabbed my bra.Gavin didn’t seem as phased though; he slowly fixed himself and soon it was like nothing had happened. I realized the pounding on the door had stopped and the girl was quiet.Come to think of it, I couldn’t hear anybody.I went to the door and opened it, only to find the girl was completely frozen in place. I groaned and looked over at Gavin who only had amusement in his eyes.“Did you forget I have abilities?” He asked.I did forget.“Unfreeze them,” I demanded.“Let’s join the rest of the banquet first, and then I’ll unfreeze them,” he said, taking hold of my hand and pulling me away from the bathroom.I hoped that when he unfroze everybody, they wouldn’t be able to see the flustered look on my face.Emily was busy purring in my mind after the ev
Gavin’s POV“The deal is changing. It was never stated that I couldn’t marry my mate,” Gavin replied, pressing send in aggravation.“The deal is that you do what I say, or your family will get hurt. You wouldn’t want your family getting hurt, would you?”“Leave my family out of this.”“They are already in this, my dear Gavin. I don’t want you marrying that bitch.”“I will never let you get to my family,” he replied, feeling the anger fueling him.“Then we will see how your precious pack and the rest of the werewolf world feel about your mistress when I reveal myself to the Alpha convention. I’ll see you there, Gavin dear.”Another message came through and this time, Gavin nearly dropped his phone.She wouldn’t dare make an appearance at this convention knowing how incredibly crucial this convention was to an Alpha.“She’s a cold-blooded killer. I wouldn’t put it past her,” Roman growled.Ga
Erin’s POVI didn’t realize the snoring had stopped until I heard his voice.“What are you doing?”I froze and looked over at him; he was staring at me with an alarmed expression on his face. He narrowed his eyes once he realized I was holding onto his phone.For a moment, I thought I saw panic crossing his face, but then it changed to anger.“What the fuck?!” He asked, quickly getting out of bed and rushing toward me in an attempt to grab his phone from my grip.I quickly took a step away from him, still holding onto his phone.“Who is this?” I found myself asking, keeping my tone as calm and confident as I could.“That is none of your business. Give me my phone back.”“I know that you are being blackmailed,” I said in a breath, causing him to freeze altogether.“You don’t know anything about that.”“I know that she is threatening your family. Making you do things in order to prot

Gavin’s POVThe memory of Gavin’s childhood had always been foggy for him. But he knew that the Slayer organization had been after Gavin’s family for a long time.He didn’t grow up with a lot of money; he had to work for everything that he got. But his family had something that the Slayers always wanted, power.They were incredibly powerful beings not only because of his Alpha father but because Gavin’s parents had incredibly strong abilities.Gavin’s memory stemmed back from when he awoke in the middle of the night; he was only a small boy, but he remembered hearing the murmurs coming from his parent’s room. His mother sounded worried, and his father was trying to reassure her.Gavin slipped out of bed and made his way out of his room and to his parent’s room. He didn’t make himself known to them; instead, he pressed his ear against the door to listen to their conversation.“We can’t get ourselves involved with them. We have
Erin’s POV“I thought of that possibility too if I were to be honest…” Gavin admitted.This has been the first time in a long time that he’s been vulnerable to me. My heart ached knowing everything that he and his family had gone through during their lives.I never knew that he was self-conscious about himself during our relationship. I never knew he felt inadequate about us.I loved him very much during high school and I continued to love him every day afterwards. Long after we broke up, I thought of him daily.Not that he knew that.I could see the worry on his face when he spoke about his family; everything he had ever done was to protect them, and so far, it looks like it’s been doing the opposite.“If she wants us to break up publicly. Then, we will break up during the convention,” I told him, grabbing onto his hand. “We were planning on doing so anyways. I can make you look good, so you don’t lose any respect.”
