Erin's POVWhat is known to be Gavyn’s lair is not that far. The trip to Gavyn's sanctuary actually took us thirty minutes or so in our wolf state.I was dumbfounded when Gamma Alexander finally gave the order to stop.“We are here.” Alaric and I looked at each other before my eyes quickly took in the house and the surrounding area. It is actually located on a hilltop, which still forms part of the Red Stone Pack territory. “Can you tell me anything about Gavyn? Is he born a pure Warlock?’ I turned around and asked Alexander while we tackled the rocky path. Given that I saw him shift to a werewolf, I can not help but think that Gavyn has werewolf genes in his blood, too. It is not uncommon. Werewolves could be mated to anyone, but those cross-breed matings have their own ups and downs. “None that I know of. He was an orphan when Fabian Gray took him in.” Alaric supplied, and I nodded. The climb proved difficult. It was tricky to climb between rocks and a craggy path. It con

Emma’s POVAfter dropping Cirala off to be with his Alpha father, I walked out of the operating room to find Beth and Rose sitting by the rows of chairs intended for waiting visitors. Accompanying them were Steven, Anton, and the others. They all looked tired and fretful, like everyone else. We did not get enough rest and sleep in the last few days. They rose promptly to their feet anxiously awaiting news after seeing me emerging from the operating room.“How is our Luna?” Steven, our elder, asked when I reached them.“Has our Luna woken up?” Anton asked next.The others, especially Beth and Rose, were hanging on their words and were all eagerly awaiting an update.My gaze encompassed them all before landing on Elder Steven and Pack Secretary Anton. My heart felt heavy, hating to be the bearer of bad news. “She lost the baby,” I told everyone and saw their shoulders sagging collectively in regret.A quiet descended upon us. Some were surprised to know that Luna was with a pup w

Alaric’s POV“Come.” I beckoned Emma to follow me as I waded through the narrow hallway to later arrive at the elevator bay. I pressed the down button, and when the car opened, we got in. Cirala's head turned around as he took in his new surroundings. He wiggled in my arms and lifted his little hand to reach the overhead light. When the elevator door opened on the first floor, we stepped out. We went through a series of maze-like hallways, passing the lobby where people who recognized me as their Alpha nodded in my direction until we reached the entrance to the emergency room. We found Dr. Martin inside. She came ahead of us and greeted us at the door to report on our patients’ progress. “All the patients are still under observation. If we find that they do not exhibit episodes like the Beta and the Gamma until tomorrow, then they are free to go.”“What do you mean?” My brows knotted because I was not fully aware of the situation with my Beta and Gamma until now. I let Emma ha

Erin’s POVIt was the sweetest kiss!My eyes snapped open when I realized what I was thinking. It was like crashing back down to earth after a spine-tingling explosive kiss.“W-what did you do that for?” I stammered when Alpha Alaric released my lips, only to venture south and nuzzle my neck. He darted out his tongue, sending glorious tingles of sensation that spread out all over my body. What is happening to me? Desire shoots up to every corner of my being. Wide-eyed, I stared at him. “This can not be!” I pushed him hard, but he would not budge. He pressed his body against mine, effectively trapping me to the wall. And his stare. Gosh! Why does it make me weak? “Do you understand what I was trying to tell you?” His muffled voice carried its weight to my ears, causing me to shiver involuntarily at the promise in them. I hate it! I hate how my body melted so naturally in his arms. “Stop!” I cried before I pressed both palms to his chest and shoved him off of me. I app

It took Alaric not more than fifteen minutes to process my discharge slip and pay my hospital bills. Then, Alaric returned to tell me we were ready to go. I was excited to leave. In the past weeks, I was not allowed to leave the confines of this hospital, nor was I allowed to walk outside. Alaric posted bodyguards everywhere I turned, annoying me no end. It was a refreshing change to see the bodyguards’ unmissed presence. “Let’s go?” He asked, eyes drifting to the bag beside me on the sofa. In his absence, I collected all my stuff lying around to deposit them inside a travel bag I saw on the bottom of the cabinet.I stood and took the bag, but he knocked my hand off. “Just lead the way, ma’am.” He said playfully, making me laugh so hard. We were silent inside the elevator. We did not speak, but the silence was not a strained one.“Stay here,” Alaric instructed, placing the bag beside me on the floor after submitting to a security check and exiting the lobby. I did not argu
