Erin's POV

“I can’t believe this,” Rowan slammed the door as he barreled into the house.

I bit my bottom lip to stifle a smirk.

The only time Rowan ever got this worked up is because of Azure, which means my little intel drop was successful, and Azure earned some brownie points in my book.

The sound of his briefcase smacking against the wall just outside the kitchen had me painting on a fitting expression, “What’s going on?” I called out as he entered the kitchen.

Rowan’s face was flushed red with fury, “Azure Blackwood is what’s going on,” he snarled. “Do you remember that deal I was telling you about this morning?”

He leans down, elbows on the granite, and presses his forehead to the countertop.

“Vaguely,” I glanced up from the book I was pretending to read. “I’m assuming it didn’t go well?”

“Didn’t go well is an understatement,” he spat, slamming his fist against the counter. “That fucker managed to swoop in with a ten-year contract instead of the five-year contract I was offering,

  • His Baby, My Revenge   Chapter 28

    Erin's POV“Feeling any better?” my boss, Andrea, appeared in the doorway, her arms crossed tightly over her chest and an eyebrow raised.“Much, thank you,” I offered her a fake smile, though knowing her, she’s about to call me out on my bullshit. When I woke up this morning, I looked like hell.Rowan has been hovering since I returned home from my date with Azure, waiting up with me or urging me to come to bed with him. Last night, he tried to initiate sex, and before I could think of a way out of it, the photos of him and Ophelia flooded my brain. My dinner curdled in my stomach, and I barely made it to the toilet before spilling the contents.Not only that, but I’ve been hyper aware that someone is following me. I thought at first it might have been someone Azure hired, but the last two men he sent after me were about as subtle as a flying brick. Whoever this was, they were skilled in what they were doing, leaving virtually no trace of their presence.“Erin,” Andrea began, snapping

  • His Baby, My Revenge   Chapter 27

    Azure's POV“What the fuck happened yesterday?” I stepped inside my office at the pack-house with a headache from hell. I’d spent the entirety of last evening cleaning up what shouldn’t have been my fucking mess.“I received word that you were being trailed shortly after you left the gala, but when I tried to reach you or Nero,” I cut Finn off. “Are you going to spew bullshit excuses or get to the point? Why were those trashy assholes trying to attack me?”Finn was used to my harsh tone when it came to these types of matters. Rogues were always going to be a damn problem. They had no morals, and due to that, packs weren’t interested in anything they had to offer unless it was for illegal purposes.Someone had hired those dipshits thinking they’d catch me off guard. I should give them a round of fucking applause because they succeeded in catching me off guard, they simply lost their lives for doing so.“That I haven’t figured out,” Finn couldn’t meet my gaze, knowing damn well it was h

    Erin's POV“Are you certain you don’t need to see a doctor?” Finn studied me, his eyes laced with genuine concern. “I’d be happy to drive you.”I glanced at the bright green illuminated light on the dash showing 3:47 am, and it seemed as if the numbers themselves were pleading with me to rest.“Honestly,” I offered a tired smile, “I’m so exhausted, I’m not sure that I’ll make it to bed.”“Do you need me to walk you in?” his question was earnest, and I was shocked yet again by his raw kindness.“I’ll be okay,” I forced a smile. “Thank you.”“Of course,” Finn replied with ease, a warm smile on his face. In the lowlight of the moon, the green in his eyes glistened like an emerald.Then a pair of glowing golden-rimmed, green eyes filled my head, and I swallowed thickly, “You don’t have to worry about what happened,” I whispered, feeling strangely at ease over the whole thing. Maybe it was a combination of shock and the adrenaline wearing off, but I didn’t feel that familiar strum beneath

    Erin's POVFinnick’s touch was gentle but burned all the same as he dragged me through the wreckage left behind by the wolves.“What the….” The coppery tang of blood clung to the air as if it had attached itself to the oxygen, mixed with the faint scent of smoke coming from somewhere nearby.“Don’t look,” Finnick tugged harder, but I’d already seen the mess. Those wolves had attacked both workers and hotel patrons, leaving their mangled bodies strewn across hallways and common areas.“It’s kind of hard not to,” I hissed, feeling my emotions slowly getting the best of me.Tonight was supposed to be simple. I would pretend to be Rowan’s loving, dutiful wife for the charity gala, and if I could play the part well enough, we’d be on our way back to our pretend life where he hits the 'gym' and I lay awake wondering why I wasn’t good enough.That has been the cycle now for nearly two weeks, but instead, Azure bought me for the evening, and my life has shockingly turned into more of a shitsh

  • His Baby, My Revenge   Chapter 24

    Erin's POVWood splintered in every direction as the sound of glass shattering had Azure forcing me behind him.I stood wide eyed and confused as a shape… no.. several shapes cloaked in the darkness of the shadows appeared in the now busted frame. Their eyes were bright red, burning like smoldering embers, but the sounds of low growls were what truly terrified me.Azure was relaxed, slowly rolling the cuffs on his sleeves to his elbows, “You two,” he let out a deep, dangerous chuckle. “Made a terrible mistake disturbing me on this lovely evening.”The shadowy figures let out a low, deep growl, emitting a rotten scent that made my stomach roll. One of the two creatures bolted towards me, and I stumbled backwards, falling onto my butt.Azure’s head snapped to the side, catching my gaze before letting out a deep growl of his own, “Worst mistake of your fucking life,” he snarled.That growl… It was incredibly deep, vibrating the ground beneath me.It was inhuman. “Az…. Wha….” I couldn’t

  • His Baby, My Revenge   Chapter 23

    Erin's POVAzure’s hand remained outstretched for what felt like a lifetime. I knew the moment I placed my hand in his, this entire ruse would be over.My mind felt conflicted, and Azure felt magnetic.Abandoning all sense, I hesitantly placed my hand within his, earning a triumphant grin from him.“Thank you for indulging me,” he whispered, wrapping an arm around me. His skin felt electrified and warm, despite the layers of fabric between us.“You did spend five-hundred thousand dollars for tonight,” my voice was raspy, and I cleared my throat. “Might as well make it worth it.”Azure felt familiar… As if I'd known him my whole life.He let out the softest chuckle, so soft, his chest barely moved, “This night with you was priceless. Don’t consider the money as anything more than a generous donation.”For the first time since walking into that conference room, my nerves had me tongue-tied.“What would you like to know, Erin?” Azure’s voice pulled me out of my head as we swayed in the s
