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.
The unread messages taunt me, telling me he doesn’t need me or think about me. I’m nothing but a sex partner for him, but I don’t want to believe that. There’s something growing between us whether we want it there or not… and I think I like it. “How was your day?” Ryan asks, pressing the lobby but
Fiona A bit of guilt hits me as I unlock my father’s front door and slip inside. I didn’t ask Ryan to drive me in case someone who knows my father drives by. Ethan’s car isn’t exactly inconspicuous, so anyone who sees it could inform my father. I don’t want that. I want to get in, search for t
Fiona Beep Beep Beep Groaning, I go to turn over, but pain in my arm and head stop me. “Fiona? Are you awake?” Against the protests of my aching head, I open my eyes and find Isla hovering over me. “Wh-what happened?” The room is plain white and that incessant beeping continues off t
So, after watching two movies and planning out our infiltration of my dad’s house, Isla drives us to the house and uses my keys to let us in. If anyone, including Jack, comes, I’ll just keep searching. No one has the right to keep me from finding my mother’s will. Isla starts searching through m
Ethan “Just hurry,” my wolf urges as I roll my suitcase into the house. Silence greets me, since the staff has the week off, and my wolf paces in my subconscious. He’s been on edge all day, which has also put me on edge. Flying with an anxious wolf in your head is annoying but add the odd exciteme
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
