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
Fiona“You would be entering data, filing papers, scheduling appointments, maintaining records, and helping everything run smoothly,” Chris explains. “At my company we work with charity organizations as well, so you may work some weekends or nights to help with events. In fact, we’re currently worki
“Are you in contact with him now?” He asks again.“Now?” I ask, glancing down at my phone. “Not at the moment, but I saw him two hours ago.”Mr. Adair narrows his eyes a bit, rests his elbows on his desk, and steeples his fingers. His stare settles on me and sends a wave of discomfort through me. Ha
FionaShock jolts through me.“I’m alone, Ethan. What’s going on?” I ask, biting back on my irritation. Why is he yelling at me? I didn’t do anything to make him angry… did I?“Come to Silverclaw, now,” he orders then hangs up. I stare at my black screen for a minute, a terrible twisting feeling tak
“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
