INICIAR SESIÓNErin's POVI threw the blanket off me, my eyes landing on the box sitting on my bedside table. There was no point using the key or even finding out if it even was to the locked room because I wasn't staying here forever, and whatever Adam had hidden in that room was his business.I was already getting too comfortable here as it was.The last thing I needed was another reason to feel like I belonged.I sat up, grabbed the key out of the box, got out of bed, showered, and got dressed before heading downstairs.I wasn’t going to drag this out.Adam was kind and caring; he deserved to know now, not to waste any more of his time on me.But what if he asked me to leave his house?Where would I go?I pushed those thoughts out of my head and forced myself to go downstairs. This was the right thing to do, rip the band-aid off now before I had another one of those stupid moments I couldn’t explain or want happens again.The sound of someone in the kitchen came towards me as I walked down the ha
Erin's POVNicklaus's hand came up, closing around Ruby's throat, her feet dangling in the air as her eyes widened with fear. His eyes stayed cold and distant as he glared at her, his hand tightening around her neck.“You don't get to attack people in my pack and walk away from it.”Ruby clawed at his wrist, panic overtaking her. “Nick... Alpha, please.”He didn't blink.Even from the bed, I could feel the power rolling off him.He threw her to the ground. “Take her away.”Anthony grabbed her by the arms, dragging her from the room.“Please.” Ruby screamed, begging. “You don't understand.”Nicklaus turned to Adam and me, his eyes flashing with something as he looked over me. “Take her to the hospital.” He turned and left the room.Adam gently lifted me, his body shaking slightly as he carried me down the stairs. I closed my eyes, letting his warmth and the beat of his heart lull me into the darkness, the pain slowly fading away.‘Erin.’ A weak voice echoed around in my head.‘Blue,’ I
Erin's POVRuby glared down at me, her eyes filled with rage. “This isn't over, you stupid bitch.” Her fist slammed into my face as she threw me back onto the floor, my head smashing hard into it. Stars danced across my eyes. Blood pooling.I breathed out slowly.Ruby took off towards the window, leaping out of it.The darkness creeping in.Whatever Ruby had done to me was making me weaker by the second.The door burst open.“Erin!” Adam's panicked voice yelled as he rushed towards me.My eyes fluttered.“Erin, look at me.” Adam dropped to his knees in front of me, his face blurring in and out as his hands moved over me.I tried, but I couldn't move.Nicklaus rushed in behind him, his eyes taking in me and the blood on the floor before looking around the room. “Find them,” he growled.Anthony took off, leaping from the window.Adam gently lifted me off the floor, cradling me in his arms, the steady beat of his heart and his warmth spreading through me, holding me here. He laid me down
Erin's POVI spun around, pulling the shirt back over my head. My eyes scanned the room, something moving near the wardrobe.Blue growled, pushing against me, ready to shift at any second.Ruby walked out from beside the wardrobe.“What the fuck are you doing in here?”Her eyes narrowed as she looked me up and down. “I thought this was Adam's room.”“Well, it's not.” I took a step towards her. “So get out.”Ruby took a step closer, crossing her arms over her chest. “Make m...” she stopped.Anthony's laugh drifted from downstairs. “Come, Nicklaus, it was funny. Lighten up for once. Even Adam thought it was funny.”Rage filled Ruby's face, her wolf clear in her eyes. “You've been here what? A few days?” she said. “And suddenly all three of them are downstairs eating your food like you've always belonged here.”“What does that have to do with you breaking into my room?”“I came here for Adam.”“Then go downstairs and find him,” I said blankly to her as I walked away from her, going to ge
Erin's POVAdam closed his eyes, his jaw clenching as his hand dropped from my cheek and he turned around.Another knock on the door.I let out the breath that I had been holding, the room moving around me for a second. I watched as Adam walked to the door. The second he opened it, he stood taller.“What are you doing here?” he growled.“Aren’t you happy to see us?” Nicklaus said.Adam stood taller, blocking the doorway. “We’re about to sit down for dinner.”“Perfect, I bought wine,” Anthony said.Heat creeping up my neck as I remembered my last meeting with him.My heart was still beating too fast, my mind a jumbled mess from the moment I’d just had with Adam.“There’s enough for everyone?” I said, stepping forward, touching Adam’s arm.Truthfully, I was relieved they were here. I couldn’t be alone with Adam right now. Not after whatever the hell had almost happened.The more people between us, the better.Telling him I planned on leaving when my three months were up would just have
Erin's POVI woke up, my body dripping in sweat.It was just a dream, just another stupid dream about the monster that killed my baby. Rage swam through me, hot and fast.Revenge.I needed it.One day I was going to stand in front of Carlos again and make sure he understood exactly what he had done.I pushed the blankets away and sat on the edge of the bed.Three months.That was all I had here unless I chose a mate. But I didn’t want another mate. Not after Carlos and not when I didn’t even know who I was anymore. When the three months is over, I would leave.And I would make Carlos pay, no matter the cost. I got up, heading for the door, and went downstairs to find Adam. But the house was empty, a note sitting on the kitchen bench.I picked it up.*Had to work. Be home around dinner. Eat something.*I put the note back down and opened the fridge, forcing myself to make some toast before looking around the kitchen.The house was quiet.Sitting around all day with nothing but my tho
