\u201cI\u2019m just saying, I think you should stay at the packhouse while I deal with Chuck. It would be safer for you here,\u201d Gavin said, his muscles on full display, making my eyes shamefully wander.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was the next morning, and neither of us slept well. I had a strange urgency inside of me that kept me awake all night. Gavin was in the middle of getting dressed when he told me he didn\u2019t think I should go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jeremy had told us where Chuck was posted this morning, and he was about to reach that post in about an hour. The rest of the warriors were most likely almost done getting dressed by now and meeting in the packhouse dining hall for breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I had an urgency to go\u2026 I needed to get what we came here for and return to our territory. My wolf felt uneasy being outside of her territory. Strange how she was already thinking of it as hers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re going to need me there. I won\u2019t let you go without me, Gavin.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t know how he\u2019s going to react when we try to take him or even talk to him for that matter,\u201d Gavin warned. \u201cIf he tried to hurt you, I can\u2019t guarantee that I won\u2019t kill him.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled at that as I stepped closer to him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIf he went anywhere near me, there\u2019s no guarantee that I won\u2019t kill him first,\u201d I told him. \u201cI\u2019m not helpless, Gavin. I came here because something inside of me is telling me I need to be here. It\u2019s willing me to take action, and I can\u2019t ignore it. I need you to be on my team.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou know I\u2019m always on your team-\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen prove it,\u201d I said, cutting him off. \u201cLet me come with you to get Chuck.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He stared at me for a moment, the corner of his lips twitching.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know what you\u2019re doing,\u201d he said, amusement and adoration somehow entwining through his eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs it working?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He let out a laugh; my favorite sound. My heart skipped a beat as he stepped closer to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s working,\u201d he finally said, his voice low.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I lifted my head to meet his eyes as he stepped even closer, leaving little to no space between us. He reached up and touched a strand of hair behind my face, letting his fingers brush across my cheekbones and making me\u00a0<\/p>\n
tremble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGood,\u201d I said, as I brushed my lips across his jaw. \u201cI guess it\u2019s good that you know who you\u2019re marrying,\u201d I\u00a0<\/p>\n
teased.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI do know who I\u2019m marrying, and I can\u2019t wait to make you my bride and Luna,\u201d he said just before he closed the space between our lips. His kiss took my breath away, and it was over before it truly began, leaving me needy.\u201d But if we are going to do this, we need to leave now. We can\u2019t waste any more time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll get dressed quickly,\u201d I promised as I rushed to get clothes. Within 5 minutes, I was dressed and ready to go. Then we met with the gammas in the dining hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was early in the morning, so naturally, everyone was tired. But Erik looked like he hadn\u2019t slept in days. His\u00a0<\/p>\n
had dark circles beneath them, and he looked to have aged 50 years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
eyes\u00a0<\/p>\n
Any other day, I would have thought he needed some space and let him rest. But today, I needed him to be focused if we wanted this plan to work. We couldn\u2019t risk any major screwups. I had to remember that I had all the training of a gamma and I needed to speak to him on that level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you going to be okay today?\u201d I asked as I sat beside Erik at the table.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d he said without hesitation; he didn\u2019t bother looking at me, he was too focused on putting sugar in his black coffee.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ugh, I missed being able to drink caffeinated coffee. What I wouldn\u2019t give for a cup right now\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
I shook the thought out of my head as I looked up at Erik. He still wasn\u2019t looking at me; he seemed too lost in thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cErik,\u201d I said, trying to gain his attention. When he didn\u2019t reply, I said his name again, only much firmer this time, and it made a couple of others look our way as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gavin sat beside me with a tray of food, some of which were my favorites, and placed it in front of me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Erik finally looked up at me when I said his name the second time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
