EthanAs we drive to my house, I glance at the woman, remembering when I’d first seen her.I’d scented her the moment she walked in. A light floral and vanilla scent that immediately had my wolf’s attention. A delicious, strong scent that had me looking her way as well.“Talk to her,” my wolf urged,
Fiona“He may be able to help, since he clearly likes you…” she trails off, then smirks, “And I still think it’s insane that he’s in love with you.”“Love?” I laugh, surprised. “Isla, he’s toying with me. Another one-night stand to forget about,” I tell her, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear as
FionaDucking my head, I break eye contact with Ethan. I can’t let him sway me again, even if my body craves his touch. God. How can a couple of seconds of eye contact have me wanting to curl back up in bed with the man?I shake off the connection I feel to him. He’d completely ignored my need for h
Fiona“I wasn’t flirting with men all night, Ethan. I was looking for a lawyer to file a lawsuit against my husband,” I tell Ethan. The fear of what just happened still covers me, but with him here, I feel better. Even though he’s acting like a complete bastard. “Is this really the only way to fin
FionaThe arrogance fades from Jack’s eyes as he watches Ethan. Shock completely takes over. No doubt he was thinking of how I’d slept with Ethan. It would come as a surprise to him since it’s out of my character.The longer he watches us, the paler Jack’s face becomes until he’s swallowing audibly
Soon, I’m standing before the suite and pulling the keycard out. Before I can stop myself, I swipe the card and enter the room. Nerves eat at me as I walk through the entrance, wondering if we’ll be sleeping together immediately.He had seemed insistent when he gave me the key.“Make sure the papers
FionaJust as fast as he knocked the breath out of me, my senses come back. Does he seriously think I’ll just give in and throw myself at him?“Even facing a broken marriage, I have my dignity,” I snap at Ethan, pulling away from his touch. I can’t make a decision with him touching me. His touch mes
EthanI swallow the sigh that tries to escape as I look down at Fiona. Why did I choose her? Because I have a horny wolf telling me she’s the one.“Why don’t you tell her she’s your mate?” My wolf asks, intently watching Fiona.“Once I tell her, Fiona will have control over me, and I’ll be forced to
“One more fight,” Laxus says while passing me a bottle of water. “I noticed something in this last fight that might help you keep control.”I whip my head up, “What was it? I can feel myself slipping, like there’s some kind of tether pulling me toward that dark aggression, so anything could help.”“
EthanA metallic taste fills my mouth, and I cough, stumbling back. Four paws melt into two feet as my vision clears.Suddenly, before I can process what’s happening, a slew of scents and sounds assault me. A man yells something before he grabs my arm and thrusts it into the air. Screams mix with ex
Ethan growls down at the struggling wolf, and Laxus leans against the gate, watching his Alpha closely. The murderous rage doesn’t fall away, instead Laxus realizes, as his Alpha lifts his claw-tipped fingers, that it’s grown.“Alpha! He’s down!” Laxus shouts, hoping it’ll pierce the feral haze. Thi
EthanRolling my neck and breathing through the funk I’m in, I follow Laxus out of the tent and to the arena. Shouts and screams cheer fighters on, calling for them to beat the shit out of each other. I wasn’t the first fight of the day, which was probably good after the episode I had earlier.“Zev,
“Like black market?” I whisper, glancing around me. Isla perks up at that and gives me a questioning look.“No.” Sophie laughs. “It’s not illegal. It’s just a little something that a few of the Western immigrants set up to sell to those of us who are over here temporarily so we don’t miss home too m
Fiona“Thank goodness there’s an index because I wouldn’t know where to start if there wasn’t,” I mumble to myself. I flip to page seventy-two and find a second recipe for anti-nausea tea. I write down the recipe in my notebook.“Do you think you have enough?” Isla asks skeptically as she peers over
Red seeps deeper into my vision, taking over like it has several times in the last few days. As if sensing the change, Laxus looks back over his shoulder and his eyes widen.The man continues, pulling my attention back to him as he speaks, “Not that either of you deserves the title of Alpha, especia
Ethan“What’s wrong with you?” Laxus, my number one Gamma, asks, eyeing me. He’s been training with me for the last two days, and I know he’s noticed. Everyone probably has. No matter how hard I try to hide it, there’s something wrong.My skin feels tight over my entire body. The pain ripping down m
An unfamiliar medicine name is printed on the paper.“What’s this?”“It’s a nausea medicine I want you to pick up,” she says, and I look back at the paper. I’d already told her I took medicine, and it didn’t do anything. “It’s safe for you to take, but it’s a higher dosage than anything you can get
