Chapter 16

Erick POV

I have to get back to Kate. I am worried about her. Her image has burned in my mind since I left her. Her scent lingers on my clothing, and I can still feel her kiss on my lips and her warm body next to mine; I can still feel every inch of her. I need to see her now. I want to hold her, kiss her, and make love to her.

I drive by my house to check on everyone before I go to see about Kate. I want to know my mother is gone before I return with Kate. I stop briefly in front of the house. The wolves are helping my mother pack her things into her car. Good, she needs to be gone very soon. As soon as the funeral is over, I will see that she is no longer a tyrant of this pack. She is lucky I am allowing her to attend the funeral. I call out for Andrew. He runs up to my truck.

“Make sure she takes everything; I want no excuses to come back here. She is to leave as soon as the funeral is over. She cannot be here when I get back,” I say to Andrew.
