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.”
Erin’s POVI stared at Henry with disbelief for a long while; he was being serious.“I don’t understand,” I finally said, narrowing my eyes at him. “This wasn’t even my idea, it was Theo’s. We don’t have a choice.”“We always have a choice, Erin. I don’t think it’s a good idea,” he said, shaking his head. “I’m putting my foot down and pulling you out of this.”“What has gotten into you, Henry?” I asked, folding my arms across my chest. “Where have you been?”“It doesn’t matter. But as your partner, I think this is a terrible idea. I don’t trust Gavin and I think he’s leading you right to the Killers and the Slayers. He’s doing it on purpose.”“You don’t know what you are talking about,” I said in return. “Gavin would never betray me.”“His entire family is being blackmailed and I have reason to believe that it’s connected to the Slayers. They aren’t going to rest until you are killed. They won’t leave their family alone until yo
Gavin’s POVThey knew where Jill was.This was the blackmailer’s way of threatening him once again.Why the hell were they doing this?What more did they want?As far as they knew, he was planning on breaking things off with Erin during the convention. That was the blackmailer’s recent and only request.So, why the added threat?Gavin knew that he couldn’t keep Jill there knowing that she was being watched by the blackmailer and her followers.However, he wasn’t sure where he could hide her without the blackmailer knowing about it. It seems regardless of what he does and where he hides his family, she always finds them.They weren’t going to be safe.He stared down at the paper he’s kept of all the possible members of the Moonshadow organization.Gavin had crossed Erin’s name off because she would have told him by now if she was a member of this organization.He gave her e
