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
Fiona“Can you help me get my inheritance back?” I ask, testing his word. He said he doesn’t make unfair deals, which implies he’ll help me.“I’ve arranged for a lawyer to meet with you tonight,” he tells me. Surprised, I look up at him. When had he done that? Was it before I came to the room or had
He must’ve gotten our information from Ethan beforehand, which will make this a bit easier since we don’t have to start from scratch.“I’ve found that you have a five-million-dollar inheritance, an older house that she was gifted by her parents, and a small house she retained from a charity auction,
Fiona“You have no right to tell me which woman I can choose,” Ethan growls, the anger in his voice making me shiver.His secretary wipes at her tears. She had to know this was coming. There are so many women around Ethan. I mean, he’s momentarily interested in me, but she should remember he’s a bil
We were happy at one point, I thought, but seeing Jack so heated makes me wonder. Was our happy life ever real?“Step back, Jack,” my father warns as I stand at his side. The protective tone makes my heart squeeze when I remember how much time he used to spend with me and my mother. We were a happy
FionaShock rockets through me as Ethan lifts my stepmother into the air with a growl. He moves between us and drops her, sending her to the ground in a crumpled heap.“I don’t hurt women,” Ethan says, “But if I see you harming Fiona again, I may not be so polite again.”The threat sits heavy in the
“That’s just like Isla not to say,” he mutters, “But I was so glad to hear your name when it popped up in conversation. I can’t believe it’s been so long since we’ve seen each other. Come on, take a seat.”I follow him to a small table that already has a coffee cup waiting.Excitedly, Chris dives in
“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
FionaI groan, squeezing my eyes closed as the nausea rolls through my body.“Okay, that’s it,” Isla says, the bite in her tone making me open my eyes. She stomps over and helps me up off the floor, shouldering most of my weight. “It’s been two days, and I can’t watch you waste away like this any lo
“You will not fail the challenges if you want to—”“Silence!” The command rings loud and clear with the Alpha command, making everyone in the room freeze and stopping my father in the middle of his rant. Lately, he’s been pushing the limits a little too much.With the anger and pain already piercing
EthanStepping foot onto my land and then into my pack house this time is different. The usual zing of anticipation is dulled, almost as if it has become numb after Fiona left. It doesn’t matter that she’s never been here or that she’s never fully been part of my pack.There’s something missing now.
Not that I want it to. I don’t want anything to do with Ethan anymore, not after what he’s done. This time, Ethan crossed a line so far that he can’t even see it anymore. That rotten, no-good, lying little—He could be seriously injured or even killed. Ryan’s words suddenly pop into my mind, and I f
