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
Fiona I push the glass up, sliding it as quietly as I can while looking at the bedroom door from over my shoulder. If I’m caught, my work from the last twenty minutes will be for nothing. Like in the movies, I tied two bedsheets together, hoping they’ll help me bridge the gap between my window and
“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
