Fiona Staying far enough behind that I don’t get caught, I follow Jessica and Angela down the hallway, ducking behind a door when one of them turns around. I can’t hear their whispers, but with the way they glance over their shoulders, they’re up to something. They finally walk into the bathroom
The hallway is silent with no signs of partygoers when I poke my head out. The hallway lights are dim, but no one is around, so I slip out and make my way back to the ballroom. Jack’s voice filters loudly through the building, and I realize he’s already making his speech. His words are muffled unt
Fiona He’s following me. Without looking behind me, I can tell Ethan is close behind. His heavy, warm presence is unmistakable and comforting. Honestly, it gives me the strength to keep going. However, as soon as I step out of the ballroom, a large hand circles the back of my arm, pulling me g
Ethan looks up from his meal, an eyebrow raised. Taking a steady breath, I look him directly in the eyes. His intense gaze makes me pause, but I don’t let it fully stop me as I say, “I wanted to tell you that, no matter what happens between me and Jack, I won’t use you to retaliate against him aga
Fiona Pulling on my black sleeves, I make sure they cover my arms fully, not that it truly matters. It’s pitch-black outside, so even if I weren’t covered “You ready?” Isla asks, glancing at me from the driver’s seat. Like me, she’s dressed entirely in black because she said we needed to be like
“Where should we start?” Isla asks while spinning in a slow circle. “Jessica said there was a hidden safe, so maybe start with the art and the shelves? Isn’t that where secret safes are usually hidden?” I ask, glancing at her. I know this isn’t a movie, but it feels like a scene taken straight fro
Fiona “Did you find anything?” Isla asks as I pick at my cuticles. “No, and I’m about to go crazy,” I tell her, looking through another set of papers I brought from home. “Did the lawyer say what kind of paperwork you needed to find? Does it have to be physically official, or could it be somet
“Oh,” I mumble. “Yeah, you were supposed to meet me for lunch fifteen minutes ago,” Ethan says as my cheeks grow warm with embarrassment. I was so intent on searching that I’d forgotten about lunch and lost almost two hours of time. Crap. “I’m sorry, Ethan. I was looking into Jack’s finances,
FionaWhy is everyone staring at me?I glance back at Laxus and Michael, wondering it the stares bother them as much as they’re freaking me out. Is it because we told everyone I’m pregnant?That was an entire week ago, and I haven’t noticed this many stares until today, so what’s the deal?Subtly, I
“You alright?”Nodding, I smile and answer as honestly as possible, “I am, but I wish my mother were here.”Ethan POVExcluding Alpha Mandra, who I recently learned is Fiona’s Uncle, I send out my physical and digital invitations. Each Alpha in the North, all eight of them, will receive the summons
Fiona“It was nice to meet you, little Queen,” Alpha Mandra says with a bow. “I will be in contact with you again.”“Really?” I ask, confused. I like the man, but I didn’t think he was the type to become friends with someone like me. It’s a bit strange, but I like it. Having more friends, even if th
I sit back, finished with my tirade, and listen as they continue their discussion.“We don’t know for a fact that Fiona is the rogue’s target, but it’s a good start. I propose we send a few warriors to No Man’s Land to infiltrate the rogue camps and search for information,” Ethan says, looking to th
Fiona“You will bite your tongue,” Alpha Mandra says at the same time Ethan speaks.“You will not disrespect my mate, Alpha Moore.”“It’s not disrespect if it is true. She is weak and not fit to be the Luna Queen,” Alpha Moore says without fear. He’s brave, or stupid; that’s for sure. “Even though s
FionaI stay back as Ethan greets several large men who walk into the meeting room. He greets each of them with the Alpha title.The meeting isn’t set to start for another few minutes, so I watch Ethan interact with these new men. He seems familiar with them, enough that he didn’t stay by my side li
“I’m fine,” I say softly, not wanting to agitate her. I’m not sure what state she’s in, the wolf, I mean. Interrupting her taking care of her mate’s injuries may not be a wise choice, so I lean in and allow her to clean my wounds.She moves to my other arm where the claw marks that were raked down m
EthanAs the guards round up the few living rogues, they line up the intruders and shackle them. I stand between the remaining rogues and my mate as she lies on the ground in her wolf form, panting from the exertion of the fight.Aaron and Maximus are at her sides, sitting and affectionately petting
One minute I’m watching her fight off three wolves, and the next minute, Aaron is shifting and his dark brown wolf is tearing them off of her. My father shifts into a larger version of Aaron’s wolf and also joins the fight, tackling a rogue that comes at us from the side.Then there’s Ethan. I didn’
