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
Is he the sweet man who comforted and cared for me when I needed someone? His touch was gentle, but his eyes were full of fire as he looked me over. “Are you okay?” Ethan asked, running his hands over me to check for injuries. “Fuck. I’m so sorry, Fiona. I didn’t know she would… I should’ve pai
Jack’s eyes widen. “Have you forgotten everything you’ve done, Jack? You’re the one who ripped our marriage apart, not me,” I growl, stalking forward. “You chose to do the exact opposite of what you vowed on that very beautiful wedding day. You’re the one who stopped putting time and effort into o
Fiona My eyes fly to the door, but there’s no escape unless I go through Jack. Maybe I should’ve eaten with Ethan. Anything would be better than Jack showing up. In fact, he shouldn’t even be in this building. “What are you doing here, Jack?” I demand, putting as much confidence into my voice, l
My gut churns. It could be a lie, I remind myself. It’s what I wanted. Liar, a voice in my head whispers. It’s right. I hate the idea of their marriage moving forward. Angela opens her mouth like she’s going to say more, but I can’t listen to her anymore. I already have enough trouble with wha
Fiona “Please have this correspondence sent out to the Mercy Medical Company as soon as possible,” I tell Patrice, the older mail lady. She smiles at me and pats my hand. “Honey, you didn’t have to come all the way down to the mail room. You could’ve called me to come get this from you,” she say
“Fiona,” he greets as I step off the elevator. I offer my best smile, but even I can tell it’s not as genuine as it usually is. “What did you find?” I ask as soon as we make it into his office. “The lab sent back the forged signature as well as your samples. They wrote an official letter stating
Fiona Grabbing my bag, I make my way to the elevator. I chance one more glimpse at Ethan’s office, but it’s still empty. He didn’t come back after the meeting, and I didn’t look for him. We both need time to assess the situation in order to make the correct decisions. No matter how much my heart
How can he make a claim like that if he’s going to marry someone else? He can’t have it both ways. It’s either me or her, and he has more to gain and less to lose if he’s with her. Closing my eyes, I pull back. Unlike Chris, the wolf lets me pull away. His fingers linger for a moment, but when I
Fiona I noticed almost immediately that there was something different about Ethan, but I didn’t expect the wolf to take over Ethan’s body. Did he think Chris was going to take me away? I mean, for a second, I thought Chris wouldn’t let go. It freaked me out how Chris grabbed me and got so close.
Ethan “Al- Mr. Montgomery, there’s an issue in the meeting room. Fiona is talking with a man, and he’s being—” “Being what? Is she alright?” “I think so, but he got really close and pushy—” Before she can finish, I leave her and Ryan in my office. If someone put their hands on my mate, they’
