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
Erin’s POV“Miss Erin! Are you okay?” Anna asked, knocking on the outside door.I was feeling fine, and this came out of nowhere.Oh goddess, don’t tell me I’m getting sick right before the Alpha Convention.This couldn’t possibly be happening to me right now.I held onto my stomach as I vomited again into the toilet; I couldn’t answer her right now.I stared at my gorgeous gown that hung on the back of the bathroom door and I felt a sense of dread. If I got sick in that dress, I could kiss this convention goodbye.Gavin would be so upset with me.This convention meant everything to him, and I couldn’t let him down right now. Not like this.“Miss Erin?” Anna asked again with another knock. “What’s going on?”I flushed the toilet and grabbed a towel off the counter; I wiped my mouth just before pulling myself to my feet and opening the door.Anna stared at me for a short while, exam
Gavin’s POVGavin saw the blackmailer and his entire body had gone numb. Erin sensed something was wrong because she kept asking if he was okay.But he could barely speak. He wasn’t afraid of her, more like assessing what she was doing and what her game plan was.He stared at the redheaded masked woman from across the room; she was talking to a couple of different gentlemen. Placing her hand on their arms and laughing at whatever they said.They had no idea the kind of dangerous woman they were dealing with.It was unclear if she had noticed him yet, but he was hoping she hadn’t.He couldn’t be too focused on her because he needed to gain the respect of other Alphas and the shareholders around the kingdom.“Alpha Gavin,” a voice sounded walking through the crowd of people, bringing Gavin to the present moment.It was Alpha Peter or the Redmoon pack; another fierce competitor who already has so much
