تسجيل الدخولErin's POVNicklaus’s figure came up, his mouth opening, but before his mouth could form a word, Adam walked into the room, flowers wrapped in pink tissue resting in his arms. His smile faded as he took in all of us.“What happened?” He came towards me.The memory of last night sent a tingling warmth spreading low in my stomach.“I'm fine.”“Erin thought she would disobey my order not to walk around the pack alone,” he growled, “and was nearly killed.”Adam's mouth opened, his wolf flashing through his eyes with rage, his hand closing tighter around the stems of the flowers, a white bandage wrapped around one of his hands, the same hand that Nicklaus and Anthony both had cuts on.“Who was it?”“They got away,” Anthony answered.“We have to find them.” Adam's voice dropped. He looked at Nicklaus.“That is what we were trying to do,” Nicklaus growled. “But Erin is refusing to be taken home.”I held his stare. “And Nicklaus isn’t letting me do the job that he hired me to go.”Nicklaus pu
Erin’s POV‘Turn here.’ Blue slammed into me, pushing me around a corner. ‘They’ve been following us since Emily’s.’ Every inch of her on high alert. She had to be being paranoid, taking Nicklaus’s warnings a little too seriously. Surely it was just someone else walking the same way I was.Distant voices, a child crying. Footsteps. I walked faster, turning the corner and pressing my back to the wall. I held my breath and waited. My hands resting on my chest as I stared into the reflection of the flower shop window across the road.A man wearing a black hoodie pulled over his head looked up, a black mask covering his mouth and nose.Blue shackles rose inside me, rumbling deep in my chest. I trembled. The hooded man looked up.No.He could see me.I pushed myself up off the wall and hurried down the street, listening for his footsteps. They were faster now, slipping on loose stones as he rounded the corner.My eyes scanned everything around me. I needed to lose him.I walked faster, tur
Erin's POVI bit down on my nails as I came down the stairs. I hadn't slept a wink last night because every time I closed my eyes, I was back in that room, Adam's steaming body pressed against mine, his mouth moving over mine.I swallowed.I was doing it again.I ripped my finger away from my mouth as it began to water and shook my head.Stop thinking about it.I had to, because if I didn't, I was going to be a mess all day, and I couldn't get in trouble at work two days in a row with Nicklaus.I paused on the bottom step, letting out a long, slow breath, calming my nerves.Adam, Nicklaus, and Anthony's muffled voices echoed in my ears. They were talking somewhere out the back, low. Confused, I crept around the corner, something in the tone of Adam's voice pushing me to listen. I walked through the kitchen, stopping at the open back door.Adam was standing with his back to me, his shoulders tight while Nicklaus and Anthony faced him.“I said I don't want to fucking talk about it,” Ada
Erin's POVAdam shook violently before he spun me around, storming towards the bed and gently laying me down.My back hit the mattress, and I sucked in a breath, staring up at him. His golden eyes were almost completely taken over by his wolf as he stood over me like he was fighting every instinct in his body not to just take what I had offered him.But he didn't.His hands stayed beside him, fingers curling into fists as his eyes dragged slowly over me.“Can I touch you?”“Yes.” I bit the side of my lip.His fingers brushed against my cheek first, softly. Goosebumps rushed over my skin as his thumb traced across my bottom lip.“Here?”I swallowed.“Yes.”He kissed me, softly. His hand slid slowly down the side of my neck.Fuck.My breath stalled.His mouth moved against mine, deeper, and my fingers curled into the front of his shirt, pulling him closer.Adam groaned.Blue surged forward so hard, my entire body buzzing with electric pleasure and excitement.My eyes opened slowly, roll
Erin's POVI couldn’t move.Fear froze every muscle in my body while my heart slammed against my ribs so hard it hurt.Blue was no help. She was vibrating inside me, stunned with so much excitement mixing with my feelings until I couldn’t separate her feelings from mine.Footsteps came towards me. Adam grabbed my wrist, the paddle still held tightly between my fingers. The second his skin touched mine, goosebumps raced up my arm, that same hot, tingling feeling spreading through my stomach.Adam spun me around.Fast.The paddle slipped from my fingers as I stumbled into him, his arms catching me around the waist. My hands hit against his chest.I gasped, staring up into his glowing gold eyes.His arms pulled me closer, locking around my waist, holding me against him.I could feel every inch of him.The heat of his skin radiating through his shirt. The slow, steady beat of his heart under my palms. His breath brushing over my face.Blue surged forward, making my knees shake.Being this
Erin's POVNicklaus was mad at me for trying to do the job he had given me. For the past three hours, he hadn’t said a word to me, only come out of his office to check I hadn’t snuck off again.I hadn't meant to do anything wrong, and I still couldn’t see how I had done anything wrong. I hadn’t left the packhouse or anything like that. All I was trying to do was do the job he gave me right.And those few minutes I had with the women Madeline had taken me to lunch with had given me more than any of these files had in the last three hours.I shouldn’t have let it get to me so bad. I was only going to be here for three months. That hadn’t changed, and it wasn’t going to.But I still wanted to do the job the best I could to thank Nicklaus for letting me be a part of his pack, giving me a job and a chance to feel useful again after everything Carlos had taken from me.And most of all, for showing my son kindness and letting him lay to rest here.This was the least I could do for him.I jus
