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
Her pointy fingernail digs into my shoulder as she pokes me in a weird, pathetic display of dominance. If she hadn’t already said all of this to me already, I would be angrier. However, I promised myself I wouldn’t listen to her, so I take my seat again and do my best to ignore the witch as she hove
Fiona Ethan steps closer, his eyes softening and a frown pulling at his lips. “I was dealing with confidential business that I don’t share with anyone except family and the select few people close to me,” he tells me. Doubt creeps in like a spider crawling up my spine and over my shoulder. Why
“Are you okay, now, though?” He asks, gently taking my injured wrist and changing the subject. The change in his mood is starting to hurt my head, and I wish he would just pick one side and stick with it. Choosing to fight that battle at another time, I focus on my wrist. “The doctor told me the
Fiona Guilt pools in my chest, making it tighten. It was wrong. I know it was, but I still did it. I’d been mad at Ethan for doing exactly what I just did to him. “Did you use me to get at your husband?” He asks again, his tone hard and relentless. It demands the truth and nothing but that, show
“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
