Fiona Stepping off the elevator, I sigh at the quiet of our floor. All week, I’ve felt the eyes and whispers of my coworkers following me, and even though I’ve tried to ignore them, it’s difficult. There have been a few situations where I caught them talking about me in the break room or on the
“Ryan is bringing me lunch. You can eat this,” Ethan says. “Next time, buy yourself lunch if you didn’t bring anything.” There is no anger in his tone. Instead, a soft rumble echoes through the room, sending warm comfort through me. “Thank you, Ethan,” I murmur, stabbing a piece of the steak wit
Ethan Ending the call, I groan. Next week’s Lycan King meeting has been moved to tomorrow morning. As if this week hadn’t already been stressful enough with Fiona being less than fifteen feet away, my wolf howling in my head every five seconds, and the cancellation of the blood shipment to the chi
Immediately, Ethan drops his fork and before I can blink, I’m in his arms, and we’re halfway up the stairs to his room. Within minutes, I’m on my back on his bed with Ethan hovering over me. His lips find mine in a hard, hot kiss, and I moan when his fingers find my hips, gripping me. Ethan tr
Fiona “Where did you choose?” I ask Isla as she pulls away from my driveway. After the call with my dad, I’d gone home to sleep off my sadness, but not before Isla demanded that we go out for dinner tonight. I still feel the heavy weight of disappointment and sadness hanging over me at what my f
Ethan I grind my teeth as I watch Fiona try to help Ms. Phillips clean the coffee mess. There shouldn’t have been anyone up here to spill her drink. I bought her the drink because I was a bit worried that she was upset. She was gone Saturday morning when I returned from my meeting. The meeting w
I tilt my head and raise a brow at her. “Can’t even come up with a believable lie?” I ask. She stammers again, looking to her friends for help, but they offer none, so I turn to Fiona. “Are you okay?” Shaking her head, Fiona straightens herself and looks at the women. “As of today, you’re ta
Fiona “You’re Fiona Aldridge, right?” Turning, I find a man standing in the doorway of the supply room. He’s tall and muscular with tan skin and an unsettling smirk. I’d been making copies extra slowly so I could take a few minutes of space without anyone hovering over me. Now this guy shows u
Jack’s eyes widen. “Have you forgotten everything you’ve done, Jack? You’re the one who ripped our marriage apart, not me,” I growl, stalking forward. “You chose to do the exact opposite of what you vowed on that very beautiful wedding day. You’re the one who stopped putting time and effort into o
Fiona My eyes fly to the door, but there’s no escape unless I go through Jack. Maybe I should’ve eaten with Ethan. Anything would be better than Jack showing up. In fact, he shouldn’t even be in this building. “What are you doing here, Jack?” I demand, putting as much confidence into my voice, l
My gut churns. It could be a lie, I remind myself. It’s what I wanted. Liar, a voice in my head whispers. It’s right. I hate the idea of their marriage moving forward. Angela opens her mouth like she’s going to say more, but I can’t listen to her anymore. I already have enough trouble with wha
Fiona “Please have this correspondence sent out to the Mercy Medical Company as soon as possible,” I tell Patrice, the older mail lady. She smiles at me and pats my hand. “Honey, you didn’t have to come all the way down to the mail room. You could’ve called me to come get this from you,” she say
“Fiona,” he greets as I step off the elevator. I offer my best smile, but even I can tell it’s not as genuine as it usually is. “What did you find?” I ask as soon as we make it into his office. “The lab sent back the forged signature as well as your samples. They wrote an official letter stating
Fiona Grabbing my bag, I make my way to the elevator. I chance one more glimpse at Ethan’s office, but it’s still empty. He didn’t come back after the meeting, and I didn’t look for him. We both need time to assess the situation in order to make the correct decisions. No matter how much my heart
How can he make a claim like that if he’s going to marry someone else? He can’t have it both ways. It’s either me or her, and he has more to gain and less to lose if he’s with her. Closing my eyes, I pull back. Unlike Chris, the wolf lets me pull away. His fingers linger for a moment, but when I
Fiona I noticed almost immediately that there was something different about Ethan, but I didn’t expect the wolf to take over Ethan’s body. Did he think Chris was going to take me away? I mean, for a second, I thought Chris wouldn’t let go. It freaked me out how Chris grabbed me and got so close.
Ethan “Al- Mr. Montgomery, there’s an issue in the meeting room. Fiona is talking with a man, and he’s being—” “Being what? Is she alright?” “I think so, but he got really close and pushy—” Before she can finish, I leave her and Ryan in my office. If someone put their hands on my mate, they’
