LOGINI forget that I can add these on here sometimes. I know my updates have been far from consistent in the last few months. Basically, my life imploded, and then I got terribly sick, and now I'm trying to recover from both. It's exhausting, and unfortunately, my work had to be put on the back burner for a bit. If you're still here, I appreciate you more than you know. If you decide to give up on the story, I completely understand and appreciate the time and money you spent reading it. I'll be focusing on trying to get back to some sense of normalcy and hopefully finish this story asap.
Azure’s POVA fucking code red… of course while I’m in the goddamn city, Finn’s in the hospital, and Erin is dealing with Rowan.I stare at the screen of Finn’s laptop for a moment longer. Erin will be okay. Sin is here to keep her safe. And if nothing else, as soon as I handle things at Blackwood, I’ll have Enzo head back out to bring them home.Slamming the thing shut, I tuck it back into the drawer, locking it up.‘Anything you can tell me?’ I link Enzo, but receive silence in return.The sound of my foot tapping against the floor echoes through the elevator, the damn thing refusing to speed up.Glaring red numbers roll away, getting lower and lower, but not fucking fast enough.My anxiety is spiking with every dip of the elevator.Normally, I’m not on my own. Finn would be here taking the lead, ensuring that I keep my head on straight.Pathetic.An alpha who relies on everyone around him…‘Shut the hell up and focus. Throw yourself a pity party later,” Nero hissed, his anger enough
Erin's POV“Steal?” I pressed my back against the stainless-steel wall opposite of Creighton King. His dark, beady eyes haven’t strayed from mine, and I know this is his typical scare tactic.He’s well known for using intimidation as a tool for business, and I’d be lying if I said it didn’t work.There was something about him that made my skin crawl in a way that you felt deeper than the surface.Creighton’s face doesn’t shift. There’s no grin any longer, no frown, not even indifference…. “Let me tell you something, Erin Connolley,” I don’t miss the shift in his tone while saying my married name, but I don’t let it show on my face.I just needed to focus on getting through this meeting, and then we’ll be on the home stretch. After the paternity results come in, I’m sure they’ll be leaked to the press, which will likely create a shitstorm of stories. I’ll have to reach out to Andrea and allow her a personal interview.It’s the least I could do after all but abandoning my duties as a jo
Azure's POVFinn never responded to my last message. He must have fallen asleep again.I fell back against my chair, nearly knocking over the telescope in the process.He only had a few weeks before….“Fuck,” I snarl, ripping at my hair. Strands tear from my scalp, but I can’t find it within me to care. I keep trying to uphold this image that I’m not dying on the inside. I keep telling myself that I can figure it out, and do whatever the hell needs to be done to ensure Finn gets treatment, Erin stays safe, and Enzo doesn’t lose himself along the way, and yet… Everyone seems to be slipping through my fingertips like sand.I can’t save anyone…Leaning forward, I try to distract myself. This telescope cost a pretty penny, but as Erin’s face came into view, every cent was worth it.She looks stunning as always, glowing. Fucking glowing carrying my pup.‘Our pup.’ ‘Get out of here. You’re stealing her time later.’‘Jealous much?’ Nero snickers.I’d roll my eyes, but that would mean I lost
Erin's POV“This won’t hurt the baby, right?” My palms were sweating as I tapped my fingers against my thigh nervously.The nurse smiled, not pausing to stop pulling out supplies, “Modern medicine has come a long way. We just draw from your arm now.”Cecelia instructed that Az and I arrive separately just in case we were being followed by anyone pertaining to Rowan. I’m not even sure that I care anymore about being seen. At first, I thought the backlash would destroy my case, but as time has passed, my desire to focus on more important things has won out over my desire to destroy Rowan.And besides, I know the men in my life well enough to know that Rowan will never get off scotch free for what he’s done to me.“You seem happy,” the nurse startles me, looping a band around my upper arm.“For the first time in a very long time, I am.”“Good,” she lined up the needle, counting to three before poking me, “Bringing a child into the world is a blessing, no matter who the father is…. All do
Finn's POV“What the hell did you need these for?” Enzo drops my laptop bag onto my lap, brow arched. “Aren’t you supposed to be ‘taking it easy’?”He rolled his eyes while saying that, making me chuckle.“I haven’t quit taking it easy, asshole,” I muttered, knowing we were both just poking fun.The truth was, I was dying in here. Figuratively and literally. It’s not only infuriating, but the mental toll is exhausting. My legs are restless while being too weak to walk more than a few minutes. My mind is running a million miles a minute, but I’m so god damn exhausted, I just want to sleep, and the sedation... A shiver rolls through my body.Please... Not today.The quiet in my head is something I had entirely forgotten existed. Nash’s presence was something I’d grown used to. Even in his silence, I could feel him. That emptiness… It’s too much sometimes.“So, what’d you need those for?” Enzo nods towards the laptop case, a few loose strands of hair falling over his forehead before he s
Azure's POVErin’s breath catches in her throat when I grind my hips forward, allowing her to feel exactly what she’s doing to me.My fingers trail along her outer thighs, and I watch the dramatic shift in her breathing. Her chest rises and falls rapidly.It’s been too long since I’ve been in this position. We’ve been busy, tired, and quite frankly; Stressed the fuck out, but right now, I want to take my time and savor this moment.“Az,” Erin’s voice is breathy, and the sound goes straight to my dick.Nero has been restless lately, and I thought it had everything to do with Finn and Nash, but as Erin grows increasingly more aroused; I pick up the sweet scent of pheromones.She must have been giving off microdoses in the short time that we’ve spent together, but right now…. Fuuuuuuck. I need a taste. No, I need to drown and get drunk on that scent.If I die between her legs, just know that I died the happiest fucking man on the planet.“Have I ever told you how absolutely perfect you a
Erin's POVFinn escorted us to another room with floor to ceiling windows as well as various monitors showing different areas of the arena.My curiosity got the best of me, and I walked straight up to the large windows, looking down at a massive space designed to look like a forest. Large, fake tre
Erin's POV“You’re wearing something new on your lips,” Finn’s green eyes dip to my mouth before lifting to my eyes.“You’re observant,” I can’t fight the smile that pulls on my lips. As I was doing my makeup, I pickup up my tinted gloss but just as I was raising the wand to my lips, I switched to
Azure's POV‘We’re not sharing,’ Nero snarls in my head, our combined focus locked on Erin’s pale blue eyes.‘Sounds like you’re going to have to put aside your pride, big boy.’ ‘You call me a ‘big boy’ again, and I’ll take over your body and never return it to you,’ If Nero were in his wolf form,
Erin's POVAzure’s fingers trail over my blazing skin, creating a sensation I can’t quite describe. It feels like tiny fireworks are exploding beneath my skin, but with every explosion, a surge of pleasure courses through my veins.“You look like sin, sweetheart,” Azure purrs before slapping my ass
