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
“Aaah!” I cry out, the sensation too much as I slump forward onto the counter. “That’s right, Fiona. Let me take care of you,” Ethan murmurs, pulling back and sliding into me again. The hand at my clit speeds up as he presses me into the counter, pounding faster and faster into me. “I. Will. Be.
Ethan Leaving Fiona was more difficult than I thought. I had to force myself not to look back when I left my house because those sad eyes would’ve convinced me to stay. It’s something I couldn’t do even if I wanted to stay with her. “Because she’s our mate,” my wolf points out. “No. I’ve just
Fiona The last hour of my shift at work is mind-numbingly boring with no papers to file or print, no calls to make, and no schedules to plan. Honestly, without Ethan here, I feel a bit useless. I have his schedule on hold until he gets back, and Ryan is taking care of pretty much anything else tha
Ryan listens to whoever is speaking on the other end of the phone before hanging up. “I’ve got to go. An emergency popped up at the company that I need to return to deal with. You go on inside. Take tomorrow to rest and prepare for your date with Ethan. I’ll come get you when its time to go meet h
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
