Ethan I enter the dim building, the scent of wolves surrounding me. Since there are no pack lands here in the East like there are in the West, we had to agree on a location to hold the challenge in, which ended up being this empty warehouse. Ryan gave me the information about the building- it is
A pained howl breaks through the loud shouts from the crowd. Some of the shouts are angry, coming from the Bluemoon Pack members that came with Jameson, and others are excited, urging us to keep going. To fight more. Jameson growls from my hold, kicking one of his paws toward my face. Using my b
Fiona “How long until we until we get there?” “Is it far?” “Are we almost there?” I badger the man with questions while wringing my fingers in the hem of my shirt. He provides only short, vague answers to my questions, which makes me more nervous. My bottom lip hurts from where I’ve dug my
There are measures in place for times like this. I don’t believe Ethan would risk his life by hiding in some dingy warehouse instead of calling an ambulance like a normal person. He’s smarter than that. The pain in my head turns from a slight ache to a throb, pulsing in my temples and behind my ey
Fiona I gasp for air as the kidnapper’s shoulder digs into my stomach. After throwing me over his shoulder, he entered the run-down building. Outisde, it was quiet and dark, but inside, the further we walk into the building, the louder the noises become. A man yelling, loud snarls, and shoutin
“This is your only chance to walk away,” Ethan announces. The ten men that surround Ethan close in on him, ignoring the threat he’d just given them. My nerves and confusion rachet up, and I want to yell at him, to scream for him to run. There’s no possible way he can fight all ten of those guys an
Fiona Horror floods my body as Ethan fights. His fist slams into another man’s face, knocking that man to the ground, but then another man jumps in. And another. They come in waves, and he’s lucky they aren’t all attacking at the same time. It seems to be a pattern, with three men from each side
“And neither will your mate,” he adds. The wolf lunges, slicing into two men who try to hold him back. They fall to the side, blood spurting across the floor and making my stomach roll with nausea. He naps his powerful jaws into another man’s arm, coating his muzzle with blood. “What’s so good a
“You will not fail the challenges if you want to—”“Silence!” The command rings loud and clear with the Alpha command, making everyone in the room freeze and stopping my father in the middle of his rant. Lately, he’s been pushing the limits a little too much.With the anger and pain already piercing
EthanStepping foot onto my land and then into my pack house this time is different. The usual zing of anticipation is dulled, almost as if it has become numb after Fiona left. It doesn’t matter that she’s never been here or that she’s never fully been part of my pack.There’s something missing now.
Not that I want it to. I don’t want anything to do with Ethan anymore, not after what he’s done. This time, Ethan crossed a line so far that he can’t even see it anymore. That rotten, no-good, lying little—He could be seriously injured or even killed. Ryan’s words suddenly pop into my mind, and I f
FionaI run.Nothing is more important right now than getting to Isla’s car. My feet pound against the driveway as I lock my sights on Isla’s car just beyond the gate. There’s nothing else. It all fades away, leaving me and the gate and the car.I don’t look back, not at the house and not at him. I
EthanMy face stings, and everything disappears except for my mate.The mate I haven’t seen in almost three days since she locked herself in her room. The mate who yelled at me to leave her alone a minute ago.My mate who is screaming at me.“You have no right to keep me locked up here, Ethan!” She
FionaMy stomach lurches, and I collapse over the toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach. I heave and cough to expel the burning feeling from my throat, and when there’s nothing left, I slide back to the floor and lean against the wall.My entire body aches and feels hot as I close my eyes, but
EthanI fucked up.“You did. Now she’s going to keep ignoring us,” Zev growls, pacing in my mind. He wants out, wants to go to our mate, but the door between us may as well be a canyon. The cold shoulder she gave me even after I told her about Angela was more than icy. It was almost emotionless.So,
Turning on my heel, I march toward the stairs, ignoring his calls and making my way down to the kitchen. I leave him behind to stew on my words, and when I get to the kitchen, I find the staff in full swing.“Breakfast is ready if you would like to sit at the dining table, Ms. Fiona,” a young woman
I hate that it’s so easy for him to control me.I hate that I can’t fight back.I hate it.“Please let me go,” I beg. Maybe if I beg hard enough, he’ll feel bad and let me go. He doesn’t stop, though. I wiggle and try to get out of his hold, my irritation pooling within me, as he continues to march
