“But they said it’s predestined, so that means you don’t get a choice,” I tell her. “Yes, and no. There is a choice for everyone. They can choose to reject their fated mate. In that choice, they sever the tie they have with their soulmate forever. After the rejection, the mates can part ways and f
Fiona If I want to get out of here, I have to do something. Anything. My eyes roam the area around me then I glance at the man holding me. There aren’t any weapons, and even if there were, he’s holding me too tightly. Plus, there’s the knife. If I try to immediately pull away without him lowerin
The cold metal of his knife touches my throat again, and I go still. I should’ve tried to get the knife away from him earlier, but now I don’t have a chance. “You’ll regret hitting me, little girl,” the man holding me growls low in my ear. I shiver at the threat, my eyes going to Ethan’s wolf who
Fiona My cheek throbs where the man had hit me, but I can’t focus on that. My attention is solely focused on the two wolves tearing into each other. One second, Ethan’s wolf was running at a man, and the next, within the time it took me to blink, another wolf was in front of him and Jameson Moor
The men around me laugh, and the sound makes me feel small and insignificant, and scared when I realize Ethan still hasn’t moved. Is he breathing? I can’t see his chest from here because I’m too far away and there’s ten men between me and him. The gray wolf circles around me, but my eyes are on Et
Ethan They hurt her. Fiona. My mate. They kidnapped her, scared her, and threatened her. My eyes flick to her ankle again, and my wolf howls with rage. “Jameson fucking marked her.” “And he’ll pay for that after we recover,” I tell him, barely holding in the snarl that climbs up my throa
I keep my movements slow, so I don’t spook her as I lower myself to my knees in front of her. I don’t touch her, instead, I let out a soft, humming purr that Alpha’s usually use to calm their pack. The longer the sound rolls in my chest, the more I see Fiona relax. Her shoulders relax first, then
Fiona He knocks again, for the third time, but all I can do is stare at the door. The only thing separating me and him is this slab of wood. “Fiona, could you open the door?” I rub at my burning eyes but don’t move. I didn’t sleep. Not a wink all night. I tossed and turned, Ethan’s words and t
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
