“You’ve allowed Mila to become a nuisance,” Nero snarled, his lips pulling back to show his teeth.
“I’m beginning to realize that.”
“You’re just beginning to? Right at this very second?” his patience was thinner than mine when it came to Mila. We’ve had an on again off again relationship for years, but I’ve always been clear that she’d never become
Azure's POVI’ve been staring at the wall in my office for some time now. How long? I’m not even sure anymore. It’s… I roll my wrist, a crack from my joint echoing in the silence… 1:05 in the morning.I reluctantly left Finn hours ago, and for some goddessforsaken reason, Erin isn’t responding to my messages, and Enzo keeps giving me short answers, like the little shithead that he is.Loneliness tugs at my mind, and for the first time in a very, very long time; I feel truly alone.I wonder what Erin thinks of me now that she knows the truth. The man behind the curtain was never arrogantly strong. It was all an act. The performance of a lifetime… Does she still find me fascinating? Does she wonder if I will be able to hold it together for our pup?Does she even want to be a part of this life anymore?I snort, sitting upright to ease the ache in my spine.The thought pops into my mind at the exact moment Nero speaks, the two sounds echoing in my mind.She doesn’t have a choice. This wa
Erin's POVI grit my teeth, forcing a smile onto my face as I turned towards Enzo, “I’ll be right back.”“Do you need me to get you anything to drink, doll?” Enzo struggles through the acting on that one, and I play along, “Could you get me something to eat also? I’m famished.”“Anything for you,” his lips pull between his teeth in an attempt not to laugh as he leans forward to peck my forehead before nodding at Rowan, who might as well have smoke coming from his ears, and headed towards the buffet of appetizers lined up on various tables.I followed my mother down the hallway and into a room that reminded me of where a bride might get ready for her wedding. A tall mirror leans against a wall in the corner, surrounded by a thick golden floral border. A deep, chocolatey leather couch sits along the far wall as well as various vanities for doing hair and makeup.The room itself is decorated in a way that is light and airy, but my mother’s presence immediately ruins the atmosphere when s
Erin's POVRowan’s face was various shades of fading purples, greens, and yellows. His nose was taped up, and both of his legs were cast with over-the-knee bionic walking boots.“When did you get such a foul mouth?” he quipped with a growing smirk, which was very unlike him.I stared at him, trying to pick apart what had changed… Was he really doing drugs and now that he’s in recovery, he’s turned a new page?“Sorry,” he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. “I sometimes forget that we’re no longer a happily married couple.”I watch his eyes dip to my very obvious baby bump, and he fights a scowl, fixing his face before meeting my gaze again, “My lawyer mentioned that you haven’t submitted the DNA test yet, is there a reason that you won’t?”“I don’t want to talk about this with you, here,” I blinked rapidly, shaking my head, “Or anywhere for that matter.”“Erin, please,” he reaches out to grab my arm, but I step back before his hand makes contact. “I’m sorry, that was out of line.”
Erin's POVI’m fidgety and Enzo has been uncharacteristically quiet, not even filling the space with his usual quips or sarcasm.“Why did you do that?” he finally mutters, and I watch the skin on his fingers turn white from gripping the steering wheel.“I didn’t do anything.”His sharp eyes turn towards me, “Cut the bullshit.”“Az forgets to give you grace sometimes,” I tap on my outer thigh in an attempt to distract myself. Enzo isn’t the only one who is struggling to grasp what had just happened.I wasn’t foolish enough to think that if that were anyone else, they wouldn’t have reacted the same way as Azure did. Groveling. I’d insulted him and he groveled. In the same situation, Rowan would have made me feel threatened. He never laid a hand on me, but the implication that he could was clear enough to keep me biting back the things that I wanted to say more often than not.My God, I’d been so stupid when it came to Rowan. The more time I spend away from the life I used to live the m
Erin's POVFinn is still in the hospital, and Az has been a wreck for the past few days. He’s trying to keep it together, but right now, his resolve is slipping.“No,” he shakes his head with a slight growl. “Not happening.”“I’ll be fine,” I mutter, feeling defeated. I understand his apprehension, but if I don’t show up today, my parents will use this as another tool in their arsenal.“Erin,” Azure’s silver eyes lock with mine as he gets up, moving around to the front of his desk where I’d been standing. “I can’t be there with you yet, and going alone isn’t an option.”“Az,” I reached up, feeling the stubble that has sprouted across his jawline, and smile. “Send someone with me, but I’m not giving this to them. Not to mention, if I don’t show, who the hell knows what might happen with my family or worse... If Rowan shows up.”Azure winces at the mention of Rowan. That was another subject we really hadn’t gotten the chance to deal with. Everything in our lives feels like it’s moving t
Erin's POV“Jealousy is an ugly as fuck trait, Colt,” Enzo didn’t spare Colt a glance, moving towards one of the mangled bodies, and tossing it over his shoulder like it weighed nothing. “You should focus on something different. Like yourself, maybe, instead of obsessing over me all the time.”He started walking in the direction that Colt stepped out of the woods, but stopped just short of the tree line, “Erin, if you must make yourself useful, go inside and see if anyone needs anything. Call for me if you need anything, troublemaker.”“The future Luna doesn’t need you barking orders at her,” Colt snarls. “Just goes to show you they chose the wrong guy to put on a pedestal.”Enzo doesn’t bother himself with a response, nor does he act as though Colt’s words affected him in the slightest.“Sin,” Enzo snarled, and I watched Sin scramble towards him, scooping up a discarded leg with an unimaginable amount of disgust written on his face.“Why do you allow that?” Colt stood there, fists cl
Azure's POVAnother explosion shook the ground beneath Nero’s paws as we reached the tree line.Smoke rises around us in thick, gray plumes, and I’m frantically trying to pinpoint where the blasts are coming from.‘Someone give me some fucking information,’ I mass linked the warriors, Nero baring h
Erin's POVWhat does one wear to a celebratory dinner inside a wolf pack?I had torn apart every piece of clothing that Az and Finn had delivered here, tossing three semi-casual dresses onto the bed.“Mmmm,” Azure’s lips pressed against the crook of my neck, startling me. “I’ve missed you.”My body
Erin's POV“Wasn’t it just so sweet of Rowan to offer to send us shopping?” Ophelia gushed, digging through her purse for her lip gloss.She popped open a compact mirror, pouting her lips, and reapplying the pale, glittery sheen. The same glittery sheen I wiped from my husband’s lips only moments e
Azure's POVErin’s face appeared calm and collected on the surface, but her pupils dilated, something that someone unseasoned in spotting bullshit wouldn’t see; But unfortunately for her, I was a pro.“I already explained that to you,” her tone was laced with tension. “He had to work.”“So did I,”
