Gavin’s POVGavin felt like he couldn’t even move. He couldn’t have heard her correctly.Susanna couldn’t have been pregnant. He hasn’t touched her in over a month; he would have known by now if she was actually pregnant.No. Something doesn’t add up.Susanna was manipulative and would do anything to get what she wanted; he knew that much. There was no way she was pregnant.“As I said, you should talk to her,” Erin said as she turned away. Gavin knew there was nothing he could do to get her to stay with him; he watched as she walked toward her car, disappearing through the shadows.He came here to tell her that he was going to end things with Susanna once and for all but it looked like he wasn’t going to get that chance.The feeling he had at that moment was the same feeling he had the night Erin broke up with him.She also had the same look on his face. He had really fucked up this time.…Erin’s POVI couldn’t look at him.Why did it hurt this badly?I knew things with Gavin an
Gavin’s POVThis couldn’t have been happening.Word has already gotten back to the packhouse about this pregnancy. Beta Seth was exceptionally happy about this news.“I’m glad you finally came to your senses and decided to do something about Miss Susanna,” he said with a proud smile.“I didn’t do anything with her,” Gavin growled furiously, shocking Seth to his core. “I don’t believe she’s telling the truth.”“Miss Susanna wouldn’t do something like that,” Seth said, shaking his head. “How could she even fake a pregnancy…?”“I don’t know, but I’m going to find out,” Gavin said in return, going toward his office.He no longer wanted to speak about this matter.He was always careful when having sex with Susanna.He only slept with her a couple of times; both times he wore a condom and both times he didn’t even finish.He shook his head at the thought. He didn’t want to think about fathering any kid that Susanna had.But of course, if it were true, then he would protect that kid at all c
Erin’s POVI drove straight to Gavin’s packhouse; I didn’t even care if I’m spotted by those in his pack. This was way too important to not tell him about it right away. He needed to know what he was up against.As soon as I entered the packhouse, I froze.Standing before me was a very angry Susanna.…Gavin’s POVGavin could smell the scent of outsiders from miles away. His pack was usually the most protected; out of all packs, he had the most gammas, and he had the strongest force. Nobody would dare to invade his territory and rummage for supplies while Gavin was in charge.Yet, somebody was.As soon as word got out that there was a pack invasion in the area, Gavin knew he needed to be on the scene and assess the situation for himself.Gavin had the biggest land around the kingdom, so it took a little while to reach the point of invasion. He traveled in his wolf form along with his comrades, including his Beta.Ahead of him, he could see the wolves from the Darkmoon pack.They were
Erin’s POVThere was instant regret on her face.I watched the life draining from Susanna’s eyes. Her face had gone completely pale, and her entire body trembled as she clutched the knife, deeper into her stomach.Her perfectly white blouse was painted red with her blood, pooling to the ground around her feet. She gasped as she tried to contain her breath, but it was being drowned out by the sounds of her gargling the blood that was forming in the back of her throat, oozing out of her mouth, and staining her fair features.She hit an artery and was losing blood at a quick rate.I raced toward her, clutching the knife in my hands as she fell into the ground, painting the rest of her body in the pools of blood.The feeling of death lurking around the corner haunted me; I had felt it many times before when I lost those close to me. Susanna wasn’t close to me, but I certainly didn’t want to watch her die.I knew if I were to remove the knife from her stomach, I would have to act fast. As
Gavin’s POV“This is Erin, please leave a message after the beep!”Goddammit. This is the 3(rd) time that Gavin has called Erin and it keeps going straight to voicemail.Where the hell could she be right now? “Why do you keep trying to call her?” Seth asked; they were currently rushing to the hospital to see Susanna. “You should be worried about Susanna. She’s the one who was stabbed!”“Of course, I’m worried about Susanna,” Gavin said in return as he tried to call Erin once again.That wasn’t a lie.As crazy as Susanna might drive him, he never wanted her to be hurt. He cared for Susanna more as a friend than anything else. But he also didn’t believe for a second that Erin would ever try to hurt Susanna over jealousy.That wasn’t in Erin’s nature.Wherever Erin was, he just hoped she was safe.As they arrived at the hospital, there were anxious people forming around him, blocking his way to the rooms.“Out of my way,” he growled to them; but they were too busy asking what happened
Gavin’s POV“I want every test done to find out if Susanna really was pregnant,” Gavin ordered his Beta. “I don’t want you to leave the doctor’s side during the entire process. Understood?”“You really think Susanna would do all of this just to trap you?” Seth asked, raising his brows. “I find that hard to believe. I don’t think she’s that manipulative.”“I don’t know what she’s capable of. But I do know that I don’t trust her. Erin has disappeared because of all of this, and I want to prove her innocent.”“What if you find out something you don’t wish to find out?” Seth asked.“Then, I’ll deal with it if that time comes,” Gavin said in return. “But until then, I want to find out everything I can about Susanna’s pregnancy. I think she might have paid off the doctors to forge some of the results. So, get me every test, and don’t look away for a minute.”“Yes, Alpha,” Seth said, nodding his head.Gavin glanced down at his phone hoping for the off chance that Erin would return his call.
Erin’s POVI woke up in the middle of the night.I dreamt of the day I met Gavin, my freshmen year of high school. He was so handsome, and I was in such sweet bliss.That was the moment that would change the course of my life forever. I thought I was okay; I pretended for so long that I was okay.But I was only lying to myself.I sat up in bed, peering around the dark room I lay in.I was completely alone and in a place that didn’t feel comfortable to me.Henry wasn’t here and I wasn’t in my usual home.I was at the Headquarters where my life would forever change.There was a time I felt safe here; I would stay here during long missions under the protection of my former boss, Theo, and the security team. But now this place felt like a stranger’s home.I was out of my element.When I arrived, I was exhausted and requested to be taken to a room right away. Theo was the first to greet me; Henry had warned him that I would be arriving and explained to him the entire story so I wouldn’t ha
Erin’s POVMaybe it was the way he was looking at me, or maybe it was the way he spoke. But I couldn’t hold it in any longer.I started to laugh.He frowned, narrowing his eyes at me as I held onto my stomach and nearly tumbled over in a pit of laughter.“I don’t see what’s so funny,” Theo said, seemingly annoyed.“I’m sorry,” I said between gasps. “It’s not you. It’s just that I should have known you would try to recruit me to return.” I shook my head in disbelief, trying to contain my laughter. “You never did do favors out of the goodness of your own heart.”“That’s not fair…”“Isn’t it though?” I asked; my laughter started to die down and I just stared at him for a short while. “You can’t honestly say you’re allowing me to stay here because you care about me. You wanted to make me an offer. It’s obvious now.” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him. “Did Henry put you up to this?”He looked shocked by my words; I knew it was wrong to throw Henry in the mix of things but this felt l
