Gavin’s POV
Erin sat curled up on the couch; she had a suitcase with her. Whatever happened, it must have been far worse than Gavin could imagine.
“I don’t know whom to trust anymore…” she breathed after a long while of not speaking.
“You can always trust me,” Gavin said, reaching his hand out to touch hers. She tensed at his touch, but she relaxed soon enough. “What’ happened?” He finally asked her.
They were alone in the living room, just how he wanted it. Beta Seth was kind enough to give them some space.
Gavin had ordered one of his workers to get her some tea, so she’s been sipping it gradually, trying to warm her cold body.
She slowly explained the entire story from when she found out that Susanna was lying about the pregnancy, to when Susanna stabbed herself.
His suspicions of that were correct despite how unsettling that sounded.<
Erin’s POV“Oh, my goddess!”Emily gasped. “Did he just ask us to move in with him?”I stared at Gavin with my mouth hanging open; he was looking at me with such seriousness on his face that I couldn’t even think of what to say in return. I couldn’t just move into Gavin’s packhouse and live with him.Could I? I wasn’t sure how long I was staring at him, but it must have been long enough to make him feel uncomfortable. He broke his eyes from mine and gave me a small laugh.“Is that a yes?” He asked with a playfulness in his tone.“Say yes!”Emily cooed excitedly.She wanted to be around him as much as she could, and this would be a great opportunity to be around him more.But I wasn’t sure I’d be able to han
Erin’s POV“Gavin and I are just friends,” I assured Seth, taking another bite of my food, although, at that point, I wasn’t so hungry anymore.“Does he know that?” Seth asked, raising his brows.Who was he to decide what kind of relationship I had with Gavin? This wasn’t fair of him to put me on the spot like this.I pressed my lips firmly together and folded my arms across my chest.“Yes,” I answered firmly. “He knows that. I’m not here to step on any toes or become the Luna. I don’t want to be a Luna. I just want to be myself.”“Well, if that’s how you feel then we don’t have any issues.”Any issues? Who the hell did he think he was?I pushed my plate away from me and stood to my feet; I no longer wanted to entertain this conversation. He didn’t say anything when I left the room, but I co
Gavin’s POVGavin couldn’t believe what he had just heard.Erin was still breathing heavily after their intimate moment when he pulled away from her. She stared up at him with such seriousness and regret on her face.“What?” He asked, trying to keep his wolf under control.Was she actually being serious? She left him because of her father? What did that even mean?“My father threatened your future…” she explained, her face growing red as she stared down at her hands. “He told me if I didn’t leave you, then he would revoke your scholarship.”“For college?” Gavin asked, narrowing his eyes at her. “You lead me to believe you left me because I was poor.”“I didn’t know how else to end things,” she explained. She met his eyes, and he could see the sadness lingering within them. “I&rsqu
Gavin’s POVThe hospital is on fire!“How bad is it?” Gavin asked, rushing out of his office and toward the front entrance of the packhouse.“It’s burning to a crumble,” Beta Seth explained, following closely behind him. “They are trying everything they can to put it out, but it seems like it won’t die.”“And the patients? What about the hospital staff?”“Some got out,” Seth said just as Gavin reached his car. Gavin snapped a look at his Beta, urging him to continue. “Most did not.”Gavin didn’t have the time to drive to the hospital; instead, he shifted into his wolf form and sprinted through the crowded streets of his town. He could already smell the burning of the building in the distance.The smoke grew intense the closer he got to the hospital. The dark clouds collected in the sky as the smoke got thicker.He could hear the screaming of those still inside the building; his heart instantly sunk into his stomach. There was no way he was going to be able to get in there and save eve
Gavin’s POVThe rain was quick but extremely effective. As soon as it cleared, Gavin was ordering the fire and police department to get inside the building and get everybody out.Just before Gavin ran inside himself, he spotted Erin from across the scene. She was standing in a quiet and secluded area, staring up at the sky. He glanced upward as well, watching as the clouds lightened and the sun returned, warming, and drying the grounds.He glanced back at Erin; he felt a fondness for her at that moment. Her powers were incredibly amazing, and he found himself in awe.She was glorious and beautiful; even more so now than she was all those years ago.How could he have treated her so cruelly earlier?His wolf was right; he shouldn’t have been so harsh against her. It was obvious the breakup affected her as well. She thought she was doing him a favor; doing what was right to secure his future.She was young and didn’t know any better. She didn’t know how deeply he was in love with her. Ho
Third Person POVMany years ago, there were 3 organizations that were developed. The first organization created was the Killers. They are wolves and humans that developed abilities once they turned 18 years of age.Not all that have these abilities were bad, but many grew worse over time. They used their abilities to torment those who caused them to harm or treated them poorly during their youth. They used their abilities for revenge.However, there were some with abilities that only wanted to use their powers for good. They wanted to protect those without abilities from those with abilities who wish them harm.That was when the Moonshadow organization came to be.A secret organization sought to claim world peace and protect the world from all things evil. The Moonshadow knows all and sees all; to be a member, you have to continuously be good.You won’t find them; they will find you.Once they find you and make you an offer, you can choose to deny their request or join them.Then ther
Erin’s POV“Yes, of course,” I said, plastering a smile on my face and trying to not seem uneasy.The man that stood before me was clearly an Alpha, but I didn’t recognize him. He appeared to be strong and fierce though, certainly not as strong, and fierce as Gavin. His eyes were so dark that they were practically black.He wasn’t bad to look at; in fact, he was kind of handsome, but he gave me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach that I tried to swallow down and ignore.I brought this man to a table on the far side of the room. He took a seat and crossed his leg over his other one, leaning back in his seat, he peered up at me.“What’s your special for this afternoon?” He asked; his tone was almost mocking, and I felt he was making fun of me.But I couldn’t be too sure.He didn’t even know me… so why would he be making fun of me?“Our special this evening is lobster bisk,” I answered.“I’ll take a bowl of your finest lobster bisk,” he replied with a glimmer of humor in his eyes.
Erin’s POVStaring at the note, I was in disbelief.Was he talking about my abilities to manipulate water and my former member status with the Moonshadow organization?I had never spoken to Bane up until today, so how would he know that information about me? My heart was beating rapidly in my chest as I stared at the note.I quickly shoved it into my apron pocket and finished cleaning his table. We were close to closing and once I was able to get out of work, my first thought was to call Henry. He would know exactly how Bane would find out such information and who he was.He was the only one I could trust to talk to, but I was also aware that he didn’t want to speak with me. Of course, I couldn’t say anything about this to Gavin because then I would have to tell him that I’m a part of the Moonshadow organization.What was I going to do?I swallowed my pride and grabbed my phone out of my locker in the back of the restaurant. Once I said my goodbyes to Kelsey, I headed toward my car, b
