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
“How is any of this about you?!” I yell, “I was just assaulted, and you want to get angry at me for… for what?” “Why are you ignoring me today?” His question is a demand, and I laugh. It’s not a happy laugh that escapes me. The sound is soft, cracked, and strained as it leaves my chest. “Becau
Ethan My father hums in disapproval as we enter my house. The staff stand, lined up to greet their former Alpha, yet he still sweeps a disinterested gaze over them. Once they left the pack to come with me, he decided to think of them as gone permanently but they’re not. They will return when I do.
“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
