All Chapters of The Azure Moon Series - Complete Collection: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Lottie’s POV Ember needs to shut up, she just keeps going on about mating and marking. Her constant complaining is driving me crazy. She is like a radio that won’t shut up. Does she not realize the pressure she is putting on me and after the stunt she pulled a few hours ago? She will be lucky if I let her shift again. There was absolutely no need for her to act that way. I would have gotten there, eventually. I am just a little nervous. Mom must have seen how stressed out I was getting. I usually get that way when I am hungry and sleep deprived. Caren feeds me and then I am sent to bed, like a child. But when I get to my room, I can smell my dad. It is weird having a dad and it was weird saying it 'dad'. He is not to blame for the situation, and he has put in a lot of effort. After watching him break down over my mom, I felt compelled to give him a chance. I paused for a moment before saying it. I had never used the term ‘dad’ before and it seemed to be stuck on my tong

Millie’s POV Lottie has a chance of happiness, the same as what Aidan and I had. Maddox needs to play his cards right, but right now, he is too hesitant and worried about her. So, I give him the shove he needs by encouraging him to ‘tuck her in’. I want to laugh as I tell him this, as in most households, that will mean making sure a child is wrapped up in bed. But not in this household. I want to feel bad, because I have just given him permission to climb into bed with my daughter. But if they truly are mates and destined to be together. Which I believe they are. Then their relationship needs to blossom, before Alpha Hudson gets his way and keeps her in his pack. In which case, Maddox is likely to get her to go to the Spring Valley Pack with him. I know Alpha Hudson knows what I have done and tells me so on the way to the human town. “She doesn’t have a future without him.” Is my response. He agrees and we go to the human town. We only wanted a bigger birthday cake anyw

Alpha Hudson’s POV I am devastated. I should demand she stay at the River Valley Pack with me, her father. But Millie is right. Her mate offers her a chance of happiness, and I was content with what I had, even though I had lost my mate. I just want to be selfish and keep her all to myself for the rest of my life. But that would be like robbing her of her life, her happiness, her future. I should set my feelings aside and encourage her to lead a full life. That is what Veronica would have wanted, that is what I would have wanted had she been in my life all of this time. I can visit her at Spring Valley Pack anytime and she can visit me here at the River Valley Pack. She will also visit Millie as well. I know I will have plenty of contact with her in the future. I make her aware that if she does not wish to stay with Maddox, she always has a home with me. Which gets Maddox annoyed, but I don’t care about him. It is her well-being that is most important. I can always

Lottie’s POV Maddox gives me an enormous hug when I walk outside. “Ready?” he asks. “Physically yes, emotionally no.” I tell him honestly while looking at my mom through the window. “She will be okay, we can visit.” he says, reassuring me. “Ember, how does this gift work?” I asked her. “I am not telling you unless you promise I will get to meet Xavier later,” she responds. I obviously annoyed her, seeing that I am not letting her meet up with Xavier again for their official mating. “That’s blackmail.” “No, that’s negotiation.” I looked at Maddox and told him what Ember was saying. “Please let them meet. Xavier is going crazy. He is saying I am torturing him and that you are holding his mate against her will.” “Fine,” I tell Ember and Maddox at the same time, “Tonight I am not missing out on time with my mom or dad.” Ember howls with joy. Speaking of dad, I went and found him, for some time alone. We took the box of pictures to my mom’s grave. We laugh,

Lottie’s POV “You will be okay.” Maddox says as we pull out of the driveway. The tears streamed down my face as we left them there on the porch, leaving her. My mommy. I call Caren on the phone to check how she is doing. She is sobbing too. At least I am not the only emotional one. It’s a good 6 hours of solid driving to get Silver Mountain Pack, which is why we had to set off so early. We all agreed we should visit, as we have no information about our elemental gifts, or how dangerous they can be. I must have dozed off, as when I woke up, we were pulling into a roadside diner. It makes me smile because the diner chain is the one mom worked for. I really like the burgers when they cook them right. We got out and I feel a little less emotional than I was earlier in the day. I felt thirsty, though. I guess all that crying has made me dehydrated. We walk in and there is a huge birthday celebration going ahead. I don’t even know the boy and I already know that it’s Tho
