\u201cHmm?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I narrowed my eyes at him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need you to be focused and alert. We don\u2019t know what kind of trouble we are going to have this morning, and having your mind not fully in this would be dangerous for you and your teammates. Can we count on you, or do you need to tag out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Erik kept his gaze locked on mine, and then I could see his resolve cracking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m worried that this won\u2019t work,\u201d he admitted. \u201cThat we\u2019ll get Chuck and bring him back to the Silver Crescent pack\u2026 and then we won\u2019t be able to break the curse.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you\u2019re scared, Erik. But you must know that I\u2019m not going to stop until Irene is okay,\u201d I told him. \u201cWe aren\u2019t going to stop trying, and you will someday have your mate.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He was quiet for a moment, but I knew there was something more he wanted to say.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat if she doesn\u2019t want me even after the curse is broken?\u201d He asked, his voice dropping to a whisper. \u201cI\u2019ve been giving her space because I know I freaked her out, and she wants nothing to do with me. But what if she still wants nothing to do with me even after she\u2019s free from Chuck\u2019s curse\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
>>\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now I understood the real problem he was having; he was afraid that Irene would still reject him.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s a bridge we cross when we get there, but it\u2019s important that we break this curse before we think about anything else. The curse is hurting her.\u201d I told him. \u201cI need you to be focused, Erik. Can you do that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes,\u201d he said with a nod. \u201cI can be focused.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Gavin then tugged my chair closer to his and motioned with his head towards the tray of food he got.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEat,\u201d he ordered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I smiled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, Sir.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once we were done with breakfast, we met with Alpha Jeremy one last time. Some of the gammas had already brought our things back to the plane because we weren\u2019t planning to stay here much longer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Alpha Jeremy gave us the coordinates of where Chuck was going to be, and we didn\u2019t waste any time getting there. The warriors patrolling the area were already alerted about Gavin\u2019s sudden visit, so they didn\u2019t interfere as we made our way towards Chuck\u2019s post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chuck\u2019s eyes narrowed when he spotted us.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d He asked, his brows pinched together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are here to bring you back to our territory,\u201d Gavin informed him. \u201cWe\u2019ll give you a chance to come with us willingly.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd why would I do that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause you put a curse on my daughter and we are going to break that curse as soon as possible,\u201d Gavin said, narrowing his eyes, his gaze turning deadly. \u201cWe can either do this the easy way or the hard way\u2026 your choice.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chuck let out a laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s no curse on Irene,\u201d he said, shaking his head. \u201cI love her and she loves me. I\u2019m going to ask her to marry me and everything. She\u2019s my fated mate. There\u2019s no way I\u2019m going to undo whatever it is you think I\u2019ve done.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His smirk showed me that he was playing a game, and the way his eyes sparkled told me that he knew exactly what he had done. He was getting a rise out of this, and I found my anger flaring.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou say she\u2019s your fated mate, but then why are you sleeping with another woman?\u201d I asked before I could think better of it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes turned into slits as he glared at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just a misunderstanding that we cleared up the other day. She knows how I feel about her, and she\u2019s prepared to run away with me if that\u2019s what it takes,\u201d Chuck boasted, a smug smile on his lips; he was acting as if he had already won.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It infuriated me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat are you even after, Chuck?\u201d I asked, seething. \u201cWhy did you target Irene for your little games?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The corner of Chuck\u2019s lips tipped upward as he leaned forward, his eyes never leaving mine as he said in a low whisper, \u201cBecause she\u2019s easy.\u2019\u00a0<\/p>\n
I barely even saw Erik coming before he was in front of me, punching Chuck in the face. I let out a horrified gasp as I staggered backwards and into Gavin\u2019s open arms as he wrapped them around me protectively.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then there was Chuck, who fell to the ground with blood pouring out of his broken nose. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
