Chapter 580: End Of The North Pack

"I even wrote him a letter!" Finn roared with rage. "I wrote him a fucking letter explaining who I was. Who my mother was!" His chest was heaving now, breath ragged. "The least he could have done was seek her out, apologize, or something. Anything! I don’t know, he could have tried to make it up to me."

Finn let out a harsh, bitter laugh. "But instead, some months later, I get chosen to be Alaric’s beta..." He spat the title like it was filth. "He couldn’t bring himself to apologize, but he had no problem making me serve the very son who’s living the life that should have been fucking mine! Is that how much of a joke I was to him?!" His laughter grew wild, edged with disbelief and pain.

Zara’s face hardened. "So let me get this right, you’re angry because your mother didn’t get an apology?"

Finn shot to his feet, shaking with restrained fury. "I’m angry because you all ruined my mother’s life. You ruined me!"

"Oh please, fucking grow up." Zara rolled her eyes, her tone razor-sharp. "Everybody goes through hard shit in life. The fact your mother let one failed relationship dictate her entire existence? That’s on her, not anyone else. It’s her fucking fault, not mine, not Caspian’s, and certainly not my sons’. If there’s anyone who owes you an apology, it’s your fucking bitch of a mother. Go get it from her!"

Finn went utterly still while she spoke, his face blanching. It was as if he couldn’t believe those words had just come out of her mouth. Then, slowly, his features twisted into rage, only for his face to smooth back into eerie calm.

By the time she finished, his lips formed a chilling smile. "You’re not scared."

"Scared of what?" Zara spat, venom dripping from her words. "Your cowardice? Or the fact that you’ll never amount to anything?"
