Gavin’s POVGavin spent the last few days working tiredly in the nursery. He’s been wanting to surprise Erin with this for a long time and he was excited to reveal it to her. Erin spent the next few evenings giving the nursery her own final touches. But one afternoon, she tiredly came into his office, peering over at him with a timid frown on her face. “Have you been sleeping?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at her paling face. “A little at a time,” she admitted. “The pup is very active and makes sleeping difficult.” “I’ll call the doctor and see if he can prescribe you anything,” he said, about to pick up the phone. “I’d rather not take medication. Maybe if he knows of a natural solution or remedies,” I said. “I’ll ask him,” he assured me. “Can it wait until later, though?” I asked. “My boss, Theo from the organization wants to speak with you.” Gavin heard stories about the leader of the org
Gavin’s POV“Are you out of your mind?!” Gavin asked as soon as they were back in the packhouse and away from the ears of Theo. “Why would you tell him I’ll join the organization?”“Did you not want to?” Erin asked, raising her brows. “I saw the look in your eyes. I knew you wanted to.”“That doesn’t matter. What about our pup?”“What about our pup?” Erin counter-asked, folding her arms across her chest. “Our pup will be just fine. It’s not like we are going to be absent parents. I’ve been part of the organization this whole time and you’ve never noticed.”“But I didn’t know you were on dangerous missions. If anything happens to us—”“Nothing is going to happen to us. Theo will make sure of that,” she assured him, but he didn’t feel very reassured.“But if something does happen to us… our pup would be an orphan,” he said, meeting her eyes.“Then, let’s make sure nothing happens to us,” she said, taking him b
Gavin’s POVGavin stood at the end of the aisle, which was located in the gardens of Gavin’s pack. The gardens were one of the most beautiful landmarks in the werewolf territory and Erin requested the wedding be held there considering it was just outside the chapel.Gavin didn’t care where they got married, as long as Erin was with him.Jill walked down the aisle with Beta Seth followed by a couple more bridesmaids and groomsmen from the pack.Soon, it would be Kelsey and Tyler, the best man and maid of honor.Then, it would be Erin.His Erin.The thought filled him with so much joy; Roman could hardly wait to see his mate after days of barely seeing her.The music was playing loudly and the doors to the chapel remained closed.Kelsey and Tyler were supposed to walk through the doors by now.What was keeping them?Gavin envisioned his best man being drunk and Kelsey trying to sober
Erin’s POVI often ask myself, if I could go back in time, what’s the one thing I would change?When I was a teenager, I would have said not kissing Gavin as nearly as much as I wanted to. I wanted him to know just how much I loved him and how badly my heart ached for him when I wasn’t there with him.Even before I had got my wolf, I knew Gavin was my mate. He has always been the kind of boy you could never forget.I loved him deeply and I would forever love him until my last breath.When I broke up with him, it was like my entire world had fallen apart. But my father gave me an ultimatum that I couldn’t ignore.If I didn’t break up with him, Gavin would never be able to attend that incredible college he’s been wanting to go to. I couldn’t be the reason that Gavin’s dream didn’t happen. I never wanted to stand in his way.I did the only thing
Erin’s POV “Oh, you are so wet,” Gavin’s hand slipped between my thighs, tugging at the underlining of my panties. I was pressed against a bathroom stall, with Gavin in front of me, his scent intoxicating. I forgot how good he smelled. It’s been over a decade since I’ve smelled him; over a decade since I walked away from him, ultimately breaking his heart. And my own. His eyes darkened as he played with my core, shoving his fingers inside of me. At that moment, I couldn’t deny how badly I wanted him. How badly I missed him. It was only moments ago that I was waiting tables and hearing the snickering of some girls I went to high school with at their booths. “Excuse me! Waitress?!” One of them sneered. “You forgot the tomatoes on my salad. I refuse to eat this.” I didn’t forget the tomatoes; I watched her eat them. “My apologizes,” I say to her anyways. I took her plate and turned toward the kitchen. However, before I could walk away, I felt a cold liquid going down the back of m
Erin’s POVGavin unlatched the button on my pants with ease. His nearness was intoxicating; I had forgotten what it was like to be this close to him. His fingers crossed my bare belly, tugging at the lining of my underpants.I opened my mouth to protest, but I heard voices from outside the bathroom, causing my entire body to freeze.“Where the hell is Erin? She has tables to clean.”“She’s slacking on the job again.”My coworkers. They never liked me and talked about me any chance they got.“I don’t know why they keep her here. She does a shitty job.”“She should just get fired already.”My face warmed just as Gavin poured his darkened gaze into mine. He could hear them too; there was almost a playfulness in his eyes as his fingers slide into my underpants.“I can punish them for you,” he said in a mindlink so only I could hear him. “Just say the word.”I pressed my lips firmly together and averted my eyes from him. I wouldn’t give him that satisfaction. I felt his fingers reaching t
Gavin’s POVGavin didn’t want his moment with Erin to end, but he knew it had to. Especially when those ratty she-wolves were dragged out of the restaurant.That had to have been his best work yet; forcing them to speak their inner thoughts to one another. He knew at least one of them would have a juicy secret to spill and they didn’t disappoint.He had to be honest though, he wasn’t expecting Erin to be working in a restaurant, especially after the last time he had seen her. She had big ambitions in life throughout high school; she was always well-kept and gorgeous. Seeing her wearing a waitress uniform, shoes with holes in them, and hair that was messily placed around her head, was rather shocking to him.She dumped him in high school because she was too good for him. He was a poor boy orphan who couldn’t bring much to the table, and she was a rich girl living off daddy’s money.How the tables have turned.Now it seemed she was the poor one and he was the Alpha billionaire that she-
Erin’s POVThe hot water felt nice on my porcelain white skin; I breathed in the steam as it filled the bathroom. The water soaked through my hair, rinsing away my worries and fears of being found out.As I stepped out of the shower, I grabbed my robe that I kept hanging closely to the curtains, wrapping it loosely around my body. The robe was loose enough to reveal my deep cleavage with a strawberry mark on one of my breasts.The memories of last night surfaced in my mind; the way Gavin had touched me and kissed me. The way he nibbled on my nipples and used his soft tongue to lick down my body. My face warmed at the memory.The mirror was still foggy from the steam, but I managed to get a glimpse of the dark circles under my eyes. I couldn’t help but bite my lip, tasting the ghost of his lips still there.I wasn’t planning on going to see him last night, but the more I thought about our moment in the bathroom, the more I couldn’t resist him.Finally, I gave myself a valid reason –I
Gavin’s POV What the hell am I doing? Gavin scolded himself as he watched his Beta leave his office. Erin didn’t deserve new shoes; not after what she had done to him. He went to call his Beta back to his office and tell him never mind on that last request. “Don’t you dare!” Roman scowled. “She might be married to someone else, but she will always be yours, you fool! She’s had a bad time; it’s obvious from her place of employment and her shoes alone. She simply won’t survive without your raging cock.” There was humor in his wolf’s voice. “Don’t you remember how badly she had hurt us when she left? She rejected us. I made a promise that I would never feel that way again and I’m keeping my word.” “Yes, Alpha?” Seth asked as he made his way back into Gavin’s office after hearing his name being called. Gavin stared at Seth for a short while, wanting to tell him never mind, but the words seemed impossible to say out loud. “Nothing. Just make sure the shoes are comfortable to work
