Erin’s POVA glimmer of a smile spread across Judy’s lips. I stood frozen in the center of a small town in the human world. It wasn’t far from the border into the werewolf world. Jill remained tied to a pole, struggling to get herself free. I could see the pure horror on her face and the tears forming in her eyes once she realized how serious this situation really was. Judy had the ability to form bomb dust from her fingertips and this entire town reeked of it. Jill reeked of it. There was enough bomb dust to explode most of the human world. All Judy had to do was flick a match and everything would turn to dust. I could use my abilities to wash the dust away, but not quickly enough and not without Judy noticing. I glanced around the town; there weren’t many people outside, but there were some passing by. However, they were frozen in place. Which meant Gavin used his abilities to freeze time without me even noticing. 

 Erin’s POV“I don’t believe that at all. Gavin wouldn’t betray me like that,” I said, shaking my head. I had to admit that I had my own concerns, especially after that wolf called him a traitor. But there had to be an actual explanation. Other than the fact that he was part of the Killer organization. Gavin was the strongest and most powerful Alpha; there was no way he would be part of something like that. “There’s a reason why he’s being called a traitor by a member of the organization,” Theo said, staring between the two of us. “We were blind to Judy’s motives in the past and we aren’t going to make a mistake like that again. We can’t be too careful anymore.” “There has to be another explanation,” I said, shaking my head. “He wouldn’t do that to me.” “Erin, I know he’s your mate and you have feelings towards him. But you might need to be prepared for the worst scenario. Your feelings are going to get you killed if you aren’

 Erin’s POV“Somebody is after his family?” I asked, staring at Anna in disbelief. “Who?” This was my first time hearing this information and I couldn’t believe it. How could he not tell me something as serious as this? “I’m not sure and I don’t think Alpha Gavin knows either,” Anna said with a timid frown. “But they’ve been after his family for months. His parents are currently living in a safe house and—” “His parents??” I asked quickly. I knew his parents weren’t in town, but I didn’t think for a second that it was because he sent them away to a safe house. “Yes,” she said with a single nod. “They are currently living in a safe house for their protection. He finally convinced Miss Jill to go to a safe house as well. I think this whole thing with Mrs. Conrad convinced her even more though.” I must have looked as shocked as I felt because Anna, who was examining my face, spoke again in a softer tone. “I’m so

 Erin’s POVI didn’t like being cruel to him over a cheap blouse, but I needed to get out of his office quickly. My entire body was incredibly warm, and my heart was racing at lightning speed. I wanted so much more of him; I needed more of him. But I had to get out of there. I hurried up the stairs before anyone saw me. I was completely bare; only the fabric of my shirt hid my breasts from the world, but only if I held them together. The last thing I needed was for Anna to spot me like this; then, she would know something was going on between Gavin and me. Once I was in the room, I felt relaxed. I dropped the ripped shirt onto the ground and grabbed my phone. I only had one message from Henry asking how my night was, but aside from that, I hadn’t spoken to him much besides telling him that I got inside the packhouse. I opened our text thread to send him a quick message. “Gavin’s being blackmailed by an unknown woman.

 Erin’s POVGavin ran his fingers down my body as he kissed my neck with a heated passion. My entire body felt like it was about to be engulfed in flames from how hot I was. I wanted him so badly, but this mission was way too important. I also really wanted to remain respectful to Henry, knowing that he was at our home, waiting for my updates. “Wait…” I said breathlessly as I pressed the palm of my hand against his incredible chest. He stopped kissing me, but only for a moment. He kissed my lips gently, biting at my bottom lip and bringing it into his mouth. I could feel his manhood growing hard with each passing moment. He was getting hungrier too. “You’ve been sweating. I can smell it on you. You should take a shower first,” I said between his kisses. “I’ll take one after,” he said in a low and incredibly sexy tone; it made my heart flip in my chest. “I’d prefer to have my way with you clean,” I said, wiggl
