Erin’s POVJill Pierce. I knew that name vividly. I have never met her though, but I have heard of her. When I dated Gavin in high school, I knew he had a sister that was sent away to a boarding school. She was rarely ever home. Now that I was looking directly at her, it was obvious now that this was Gavin’s sister. They looked so similar. She had a kind look in her eyes when she looked at me and she waited for me to introduce myself to her in return. I didn’t want to tell her my real name on the off chance that she might know who I am. “Nora,” I told her. “My name is Nora.” “It’s nice to meet you, Nora,” she said in return, widening her smile. “I’ll be going now. My brother will be worried if I’m gone too long. Thank you for saving me. I owe you so much.” On that note, she turned and left. I was at a loss for words. I had no idea his sister was in town; now I was thinking back to the woman who answered his phone. Could that have been Jill? “We should have known our mate wou

 Erin’s POVHenry returned home a couple of hours after he told me he’d be there. I was able to shower and get dressed in comfortable clothing by the time he returned so I didn’t have to explain to him anything. He wanted me to order a pizza, so I had it waiting for him at the kitchen table when he walked into the house. He looked exhausted, not like someone who was about to spend the entire night investigating the vessels with me. We had a plan to go to Bane’s pack and do a little digging on him. But telling from Henry’s exhausted look, that might have to wait until another day. “Is everything okay?” I asked, watching as he sat down at the table. “Yes,” he said. “Just a last-minute client meeting. I wasn’t really planning on staying that late. I’m sorry for keeping you waiting.” I wasn’t going to tell him about running into Gavin’s sister or anything that happened that evening. I sat down with him and grabbe

 Erin’s POVI couldn’t believe what I was looking at. My heart was crushed, and I stumbled backward into Henry who stood behind me, also shocked. Moments later, Bane arrived, and he took charge right away. “We need to get the body out of here and put the pack on lockdown. Nobody is to leave until I can figure out who did this to my Beta.” I could hear the women of the pack crying their eyes out, but their voices grew distorted. Everything around me was growing distorted. I looked at Bane who had dark eyes; though he was taking charge, there were no emotions on his face. I wondered if it was him that had done this. Thinking that this was our fault, that Jeremy died because we were snooping around, made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest. “We need to get out of here...” Henry whispered from behind me. At that moment, Bane looked over at us and his eyes darkened even more. His eyes locked onto mine

 Erin’s POVI couldn’t stop staring at her; she was absolutely stunning. She looked much older, but she was so beautiful and well-kept. Most importantly, she had her arms wrapped around Gavin’s like they were an item. A knot formed in my stomach as soon as I saw the two of them together. I had never seen her in any of our packs before and I didn’t have any research on her from the organization. But as they got closer, I realized why that was. She wasn’t a she-wolf at all. She was a human. I must have looked as stunned as I felt because Gavin’s eyes darkened when he saw me and then a smirk appeared on his lips like he was testing me or something. I felt a wave of fury washing over me. What kind of sick game was he trying to play? I shook the thought out of my head and straightened my stance. I knew Kelsey was watching with curious and worried eyes, but I didn’t say anything to her. I kept a fake smile on my fa

 Erin’s POVI sat in my car for a long while after Gavin left. I couldn’t believe what we had just done in the parking lot of my work. My body was trembling all over and I could feel Emily’s pure excitement from within me. After I was able to recover my mind, I got out of my car and went back to work. I used that breather as my break and when I returned, Kelsey was watching me with a worried look in her eyes. “Is everything okay?” She asked. “Yeah, I just needed to breathe,” I told her, shaking my head of any and all thoughts that had surfaced. “Who was that other girl with Gavin? I know one of them to be Judy Conrad, the multi-billionaire’s wife, but I didn’t recognize the other one.” “That was Jill Pierce,” I told her, watching her eyes widen in shock. “Gavin’s sister.” “Oh, my goddess! I knew she existed, but I never thought I’d ever get to see her,” Kelsey breathed. “She was kind of cruel. Don’t you think
