Fiona Everything in me fights against her words. She has to be lying, my heart tells me. Ethan didn’t want to have dinner together for the past two nights, my head argues. He wouldn’t do that to us, my heart says. He’s goes off on his own a lot at night, my head adds. And he doesn’t tell u
Fiona I claw at the guard’s arm, making him drop my hair and swear. Small trails of blood run down his forearm, sending a little sliver of accomplishment through me. I’m not a weak little girl, and I won’t let him get away with trying to assault me. “You little whore,” Ethan’s ex screeches. I tu

Fiona The final seconds tick by on the board. Fans scream. I scream. “Run, Ethan! You can do it!” I shout, watching on the edge of the platform. I lean over the rail, my heart pounding, as he runs down the field. He spins and dodges an oncoming player, skillfully keeping the ball away from t
Third Person POV “Why don’t we go find Ethan?” Ryan asks, turning toward Fiona. Only, she’s not there anymore. She’d been there just a second ago, but when he looks around, Ryan finds no trace of the woman he’s supposed to be protecting. A direct order from his Alpha, and he failed. It wasn’t

Fiona After Mr. Adair left, Ethan and I worked for the next few hours until he left to get ready for the soccer game tonight. He’d told me Ryan would meet me at the stadium to help me find my seats and to keep me safe while I’m there. I found the statement strange, wondering how much danger I co
