Gavin’s POVThe rain was quick but extremely effective. As soon as it cleared, Gavin was ordering the fire and police department to get inside the building and get everybody out.Just before Gavin ran inside himself, he spotted Erin from across the scene. She was standing in a quiet and secluded area, staring up at the sky. He glanced upward as well, watching as the clouds lightened and the sun returned, warming, and drying the grounds.He glanced back at Erin; he felt a fondness for her at that moment. Her powers were incredibly amazing, and he found himself in awe.She was glorious and beautiful; even more so now than she was all those years ago.How could he have treated her so cruelly earlier?His wolf was right; he shouldn’t have been so harsh against her. It was obvious the breakup affected her as well. She thought she was doing him a favor; doing what was right to secure his future.She was young and didn’t know any better. She didn’t know how deeply he was in love with her. Ho

Erin’s POV“Yes, of course,” I said, plastering a smile on my face and trying to not seem uneasy.The man that stood before me was clearly an Alpha, but I didn’t recognize him. He appeared to be strong and fierce though, certainly not as strong, and fierce as Gavin. His eyes were so dark that they were practically black.He wasn’t bad to look at; in fact, he was kind of handsome, but he gave me an uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach that I tried to swallow down and ignore.I brought this man to a table on the far side of the room. He took a seat and crossed his leg over his other one, leaning back in his seat, he peered up at me.“What’s your special for this afternoon?” He asked; his tone was almost mocking, and I felt he was making fun of me.But I couldn’t be too sure.He didn’t even know me… so why would he be making fun of me?“Our special this evening is lobster bisk,” I answered.“I’ll take a bowl of your finest lobster bisk,” he replied with a glimmer of humor in his eyes.

Gavin’s POVGavin’s entire body froze at Bane’s words. Bane only laughed from behind him. It was taking everything Gavin had to not tear his throat out with his wolf’s fangs. But he held himself back.“What do you know about her?” Gavin found himself asking, his tone was dark and threatening.There was a moment of pause while Bane thought about how to answer his question.“I know that she’s a dangerous individual and could get herself in a lot of trouble if she’s not careful,” Bane said, sounding almost bored.Gavin whipped around, baring his sharp teeth in Bane’s direction, his eyes flashing with anger. Bane didn’t look frightened by it though. He looked more excited than anything.“How long do expect to hide her?” Bane asked, turning away. “It won’t be long before she’s found out.”He was gone without another word, leaving Gavin alone with his thoughts.“You should have let me tear his throat out,” his wolf hissed furiously. “I could have taken care of the problem easily and quickly

Erin’s POVA board game?I wasn’t really in the mood to play a board game, but I could see the pure excitement on Seth’s face. I found it difficult to say no, so I agreed to play a game with him.He chose Monopoly.I should have known he would choose the longest game there was. I didn’t argue though; I sat on the couch in the living room as he set up the board game on the coffee table.“This is my favorite game,” he admitted. “It’ll keep us busy for a while.”“Is there a reason you’re trying to distract me?”“No,” he said. “But if we are going to be stuck here, we might as well do something to keep our attention at bay.”He was right, who knew when I’d be able to leave this packhouse. If I didn’t do something to preoccupy my mind, I would soon lose my mind.“I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings earlier,” Seth randomly said during the game.I glanced at him, frowning.“You didn’t hurt my feelings,” I lied.He gave me a knowing look that showed that he didn’t believe me.“I care about Al

Erin’s POVMy heart was pounding quickly against my chest; I couldn’t tell if it was because I was caught snooping through Gavin’s office or because I was so furious with him. But the accusatory way he was looking at me made my blood boil.“What am I doing?” I asked, stepping around his desk with the Moonshadow list in my hands. “What are you doing, Gavin?”His eyes traced my face for a moment before landing on the paper I held.“I can’t be too safe.”“You think I’m a member of the Moonshadow?” I asked disbelief in my tone.However, considering I was a member, it wasn’t too odd for him to think that.“You have abilities, Erin. Both you and Henry do. It can’t be a coincidence.”“You could have just talked to me about it but you’ve been investigating me instead,” I hissed, fury boiling through me.“Would you have told me if I were to ask you?” He asked, narrowing his eyes at me. I fell silent, unsure of how to answer him. Of course, I couldn’t tell him the truth. The organization would
