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
“You’re fired.”Two words and the woman falls to her knees.“Please, Eth—”“Mr. Montgomery,” I say. Both of their gazes snap up in my direction- hers with an angry sneer and his with a smirk.“M-Mr. Montgomery, please don’t fire me,” she pleads, looking back to him now.Ethan turns to his desk, igno
Jack“Mr. Aldridge, you’d do well to cease and desist trying to seize Mrs. Aldridge’s inheritance. We will be proceeding with submitting Mrs. Aldridge’s late mother’s will if you do not relinquish the outlined portion of your assets as stated in the divorce settlement,” a lawyer drones. I grit my te
Their gowns are so much nicer and more extravagant than mine.“You look beautiful,” Ethan says softly, his lips brushing my ear. “You outshine every woman here.”My heart skips a beat in my chest, and I tighten my arm around his as we continue walking. How does he know just what to say?“Alpha Montg
FionaThe last three days have been full of meet and greets, healing lessons, and alone-time with Ethan. I haven’t met the whole pack yet, but Ethan thought it would be a good idea to start introducing me slowly to people. I’ve met the healers, some of Ethan’s friends, several of the Gammas, and a f
Ethan“We’re glad to see you feeling better,” Elder Nugyen says as we enter the meeting room. Each of the pack Elders takes a seat, murmuring their agreements and greeting me. I take a seat at the head of the table, motioning for them to sit.“It’s good to be back, and I am thankful for your help, E
Before I can say anything else, Ethan is over me, pulling my hips up and entering me. He slides into my slick heat, filling me in the best way and making me cry out with relief. Then he’s moving, and I’m clinging onto him as we both ride the waves of pleasure.My fingers dig into his shoulders, and
FionaEthan’s lips.His hands.The way his chest vibrates against mine.How he digs his fingers into my ass and pulls me impossibly closer as we kiss.It all sends me into a spiral of pleasure and has me forgetting the pain. Everything is washed away by the fact that we are finally together.“Down,”
Fiona“You have a natural gift,” a soft, clear voice says.Pulling my eyes away from the sun setting over the ocean, I look up to find a woman standing slightly behind me. She looks down at me for a moment before lowering herself to sit on the grass beside me.The breeze lifts her long hair, and it
“Keep a close eye on the Bluemoon pack. They may try to attack soon if they already sent out scouts.”“There were four in total, and each is locked up in the Pack House basement,” Ryan informs me, and I stop walking. He hadn’t told me they caught the intruders. “I didn’t want to let them go, in case
EthanSuch is the life of a leader.“This vendetta wouldn’t be good for either pack, and I’ve told him to stand down, but I’ve had two Gammas watching your father since I learned of his plans. If you don’t stop him, I don’t think he’ll stop,” Ryan says. I sigh and scrub my hand down my face. My fath
EthanThere is no reason my mate should be here, in the hospital, surrounded by my best pack healers and my Beta.It’s the first thing that ran through my mind when I saw her laying in this bed, looking pale and sick. The next thought was that I shouldn’t be in the hospital. I rub my temples, trying
