FionaEthan slides his arms under my legs and shoulders, lifting me into his arms and making me gasp. For a second, I thought he was going to deny me, but when he turns, closes the door, and begins walking to his car, I realize he’s taking me home with him instead of staying with me.“I don’t have a
Shaking the thoughts away, I dip the applicator into the medicine.“Let me apply it for you,” Ethan says, and then he lowers himself and kneels before me. I go still, taking in a quick breath when his hand circles my ankle and slowly slides up my calf. Tingles zip through my body and settle in my co
FionaWith my stomach growling, I wrap a large sweater around myself and exit my room. I don’t want to bother anyone since they’re probably busy, so I quietly pad to the kitchen to find something for breakfast.I wander around, not knowing where I’m going, until I pass a door and hear a woman shriek
Fiona “You’ll what?” I ask as Ethan stands to leave the table. “I’ll have your desk moved right next to mine,” he repeats. I stare at this man. What is going through his mind? Like he hadn’t just said we’d be together every day, Ethan slides his phone into his pocket and walks away. Is he seri
Sighing, I lean my forehead on the window. The cool glass offers a bit of respite, so I close my eyes and try to relax like Ryan said. It doesn’t work, but I do get a bit of time to clear my head before we pull into my father’s driveway. Steeling myself with confidence, I get out of the car, ask
Fiona I watch Jessica reel back in shock and horror, stumbling as she listens to the person on the phone. Bankruptcy. “What do you mean? How did it go under? The project was supposed to—hello? Hello?” She screeches in fury, throwing her phone onto the couch near us. The project must be the XX
“Okay, I’ll see you soon.” Ethan I end the call without responding and set my phone on my desk. The excitement that had eaten at me all day put me behind in my schedule. I wanted to see her. All day my focus kept shifting to Fiona. I wanted to call her and move the dinner earlier, but she’d
Fiona After helping me buy a load of groceries, Ryan begins the drive and, on our way, we pass a flower shop. The bright colors draw my attention and my longing. I’ve always loved flowers. Mom used to keep flowers in the house when I was younger, and they always made my day when I saw them. Jack
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
