Erin's POVAzure’s back turned rigid as he spun around, and the smile plastered on his face was so plastic, you might think he belonged in one of those creepy wax museums.Everyone in the room held their breaths, even Alpha Redrock as Az commanded the room, “I planned on waiting to discuss this with you privately, but it’s clear that you don’t deserve the pleasantry,” the swirling in his eyes told me that Nero was fighting for control, and I finally stood taller. “Erin, the human that you are callously referring to as a surrogate, is my mate and the future Luna of Blackwood. If I were you, I’d be more inclined to watch my tongue moving forward.”Alpha Redrock’s nostrils flared, his cheeks burning a cherry red, but I could barely focus on his internal temper tantrum. Azure’s face softened, his eyes finding mine, and the corner of his lips curled into the start of a smirk.I wanted to be happy… Honestly, less than an hour ago, I was on cloud nine. Azure and I weren’t a secret to the wor

Enzo's POV“I swear, those decrepit mother fuckers just love meddling.”Finn’s weight grows heavier with every step, and I know we’re running out of time to get him hidden from the council. The last thing Blackwood needs right now is for them to find out that Finn’s on his deathbed.Somehow, we’ve managed to silence everyone else… But something doesn’t settle right about that bitch nurse. The way she switched from begging and pleading to anger at the snap of a finger means I’ll have to watch her too.It feels like the list of people I need to keep track of never stops growing.‘Can’t you give me a break….’ Igris mutters under his breath.I almost react…‘Respectfully, fuck off.’ We don’t work nearly hard enough… That much is obvious as Finn chuckles, but the sound isn’t the same. It’s weak, and Finnick Gray isn’t fucking weak, “They are just doing their job. And they’re not all decrepit,” I feel his chest move with a humored huff.“Are you trying to piss me off?”The most recently ap

Azure's POVDoubt curdles in my gut as I walk the edge of the Northern border for the fourth time.Finn would tell me I was a fool. I know that, and still, I can’t bring myself to turn around.This could be a trap, and I’d be the dumbass who was so blinded by the need to save my mate, that I ignored it.‘It’s definitely a trap, you dipshit,’ Nero sneers. ‘You’re just lucky I have no qualms about eliminating anything and everything that tries to stop me from getting Nash back.’ Nero has been increasingly agitated in the past few days. I think losing Nash solidified our reality that we both need Finn and Nash.“Color me surprised,” my mother’s voice sinks beneath my skin like it always does. It’s embarrassing that my body reacts to her, even after all this time. “I didn’t think you had the balls to show up.”“That only proves how little you know your son.”She laughs, and I finally turn around. Her hair has turned a bright silver, similar to her eyes. The striking similarities between

Erin's POVFinn wrinkles his nose as Enzo reappears with two bottles of water.Enzo doesn’t miss a beat, “Erin tracked the poisoned blood of a dead rogue through the house.”Maybe my strength hasn’t withered, considering the look I just leveled Enzo with.Finn shifted on the bed, wincing as he used his elbows to bring himself to a seated position, “Speak. Now.”“Well, when you talk to me like that,” Enzo grins, but a single glare from Finn has the look falling from his face. “I may or may not be finding a cure for your shitty predicament.”“The council is in Blackwood as we speak, and you,” the rasp in Finn’s voice grows with every word, “It was you… the whole time?”“What the fuck did you expect me to do?” Enzo snarls, venom in his voice, “Jerk my dick until you die? Fuck that shit. Az can waltz around with his head up his ass, but I’m not about to let you die because of his inaction.”The two of them stared at one another, jaws set tight, and tension riddling their muscles, but afte
