You and Azriel are polar differences, but yet light draws to darkness. Azriel had his infamous shadow-wielding abilities, along with his ruthless reputation. While you on the other side had the power to control light. You two had been mates for quite some time now and spent most nights curled up in each other's sheets. You both made a conscious decision to keep the relationship a secret, especially with the Inner Circle; both of you didn't want to deal with the antics of your chosen family.

Cassian had strolled into the living room without a warning, catching Azriel kissing you lovingly. Cassian, of course, couldn't keep his mouth shut. And unfortunately for you, you both had to attend the Inner Circle monthly supper this night. You couldn't even take a sip of your drink before a thousand questions bombarded you.

“Guys, leave her alone,” Azriel says protectively, knowing it would do little to keep the questions at bay.
