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
However, if Fiona does happen to be in one of the two packs the scouts mentioned, we’ll be able to get in and get out without alerting them. I don’t want to lose this chance to search for Fiona. It could be my only chance to do so without violence.“Which means I need us to keep a lock on our anger,
Ethan POVMy senses return as the darkness fades away, and I groan because my limbs feel heavy, and my head aches. Taking several deep breaths, I blink to clear my vision, confused when I can’t move my arms.Looking around, I find my wrists trapped in heavy chains. I follow the chains to the wall, n
“Don’t presume you can make demands here, little girl. Now, eat your breakfast like a good prisoner.”The edge in his tone freezes me to the spot, even when he leans forward, snaps another picture, and then unties my hands. I’m too scared to move. I can only watch him leave me behind, closing the do
Fiona POVA clicking sound from somewhere near me has me stirring, but the flash is what brings me fully out of my sleep. The pain in the back of my head is a dull throb, but it grows as I open my eyes just when another flash hits.What is that?My body screams in protest when I sit up and look arou
Ethan POVShoving my father to the ground in front of the pack house, I growl at him. He thrashes, still thinking he can get away even as I grab him by the back of his neck.“If you don’t answer me, then you are no longer welcome in this pack.”My mother gasps from behind me, “Ethan, you can’t banis
Ethan POV“Your father is freaking out,” Ryan says through our mind link.“Freaking out?” I ask as I shift back to my human form. Michael and Robert bow their wolf heads and lead the Gammas back to their barracks. “What does that mean? What’s he doing?”“He’s making a mess of the pack house’s common
Ethan POVTaking a deep breath, I push the door open and step out into my front yard. Fiona has been missing for two hours, and with each passing second, I feel my chest grow tighter. She’s already been gone too long, making me and Zev both angry and anxious to the point of shaking.I shake off the
Fiona POVPain.Stupid, throbbing, aching pain screams in the back of my head as I feel myself coming out of a heavy, groggy sleep.What the heck happened?Blinking, I force my eyes open and find myself still covered in darkness. Though, it’s not pitch black. There is a bit of sunlight coming into t
It seems like everything is too quiet.“Alpha, there have been rogues spotted near the Southern borders,” Ryan mind links.“Send a group of guards. I’m on my way.”Racing outside, I shift and charge toward the southern border. There’s not too much to the south of us, but I won’t let the rogues hurt
