Cheers went off around us as he landed on the ground with me in his arms. The people around us rushed in, their voices a tidal wave that drowned out anything else in the video. Until the announcer speaks. “And this was WBS News with the latest on Mr. Montgomery’s daring rescue,” the reporter’s v
Fiona The embarrassment I feel churning in my chest isn’t from shame. Quiet the opposite, actually. The thought of being with Ethan for longer than the year-long contract we signed makes my heart hopeful. The butterflies from my stomach surround my heart, wrapping it in a light, soft feeling. If
I sit up as well, mirroring Isla’s stretching. “I’m not sure,” I tell her, “But if they read off the questions, maybe they’re just hoping to gain more attention. Maybe they think we’ll come forward and make a public announcement.” “Another question from a new follower: Is this woman a rich busin
Ethan “Did you figure out how the fight got started yesterday?” I ask as I enter the office. Ryan sits behind my desk, typing away at the keyboard. He barely acknowledges me, his eyes narrowed on the screens in front of him. I’d tasked Ryan with finding the start of the fight and the reason for
Fiona After I send the congratulatory email off to the staff of the month, my phone rings. Not my office phone but my cell phone which is unusual. I don’t get a lot of calls from anyone other than Isla, and she wouldn’t call me at work like this. “Hello?” “Fiona Kate Bowen!” I yank the phone a
Would I be better off without him in my life? As a little girl, I always thought he’d be there for me, but the realization that he doesn’t want anything except my money makes the crack in my chest deepen. The nail that’s been hammered at every time he hurt me going deeper and deeper until it final
Ethan Normal people would probably worry about holding their woman in their office while she cries, but I’m not normal. Neither is our relationship. She shifts her head, slightly pulling my collar with the movement. “Her tears are staining your shirt,” my wolf growls, his anger mirroring the r
Fiona Silently, I shovel the scrambled eggs I’d just finished making onto two plates; one for me and one for Ethan. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get him to give me more information on his trip. Even after sleeping together and watching a movie, he wouldn’t spill any more information than
Their gowns are so much nicer and more extravagant than mine.“You look beautiful,” Ethan says softly, his lips brushing my ear. “You outshine every woman here.”My heart skips a beat in my chest, and I tighten my arm around his as we continue walking. How does he know just what to say?“Alpha Montg
FionaThe last three days have been full of meet and greets, healing lessons, and alone-time with Ethan. I haven’t met the whole pack yet, but Ethan thought it would be a good idea to start introducing me slowly to people. I’ve met the healers, some of Ethan’s friends, several of the Gammas, and a f
Ethan“We’re glad to see you feeling better,” Elder Nugyen says as we enter the meeting room. Each of the pack Elders takes a seat, murmuring their agreements and greeting me. I take a seat at the head of the table, motioning for them to sit.“It’s good to be back, and I am thankful for your help, E
Before I can say anything else, Ethan is over me, pulling my hips up and entering me. He slides into my slick heat, filling me in the best way and making me cry out with relief. Then he’s moving, and I’m clinging onto him as we both ride the waves of pleasure.My fingers dig into his shoulders, and
FionaEthan’s lips.His hands.The way his chest vibrates against mine.How he digs his fingers into my ass and pulls me impossibly closer as we kiss.It all sends me into a spiral of pleasure and has me forgetting the pain. Everything is washed away by the fact that we are finally together.“Down,”
Fiona“You have a natural gift,” a soft, clear voice says.Pulling my eyes away from the sun setting over the ocean, I look up to find a woman standing slightly behind me. She looks down at me for a moment before lowering herself to sit on the grass beside me.The breeze lifts her long hair, and it
“Keep a close eye on the Bluemoon pack. They may try to attack soon if they already sent out scouts.”“There were four in total, and each is locked up in the Pack House basement,” Ryan informs me, and I stop walking. He hadn’t told me they caught the intruders. “I didn’t want to let them go, in case
EthanSuch is the life of a leader.“This vendetta wouldn’t be good for either pack, and I’ve told him to stand down, but I’ve had two Gammas watching your father since I learned of his plans. If you don’t stop him, I don’t think he’ll stop,” Ryan says. I sigh and scrub my hand down my face. My fath
EthanThere is no reason my mate should be here, in the hospital, surrounded by my best pack healers and my Beta.It’s the first thing that ran through my mind when I saw her laying in this bed, looking pale and sick. The next thought was that I shouldn’t be in the hospital. I rub my temples, trying
