Fiona An agonizing gnawing pain claws at my chest, creating a chasm that fills steals the air from my lungs and makes my head spin. My legs wobble beneath me again before finally giving out and sending me to the floor. Had I made the right choice? The pain in my chest tells me no, but my head,
Fiona I turn over again, sucking in a much-needed gulp of air and trying to chase away the heaviness sitting on my chest. The weight feels like exhaustion, but then a lack of sleep wouldn’t make it this hard to breathe. A cough fights its way up my throat, nearly choking me as I turn my head int
Shaking my head, I push myself up and look around the room. My phone! If I could call someone, they could help me. My mind immediately goes to Ethan. If I can call Ethan, everything will be okay. Ethan will come… except he won’t. My heart lurches. I forced him to leave. He’s not here. He h
Ethan Rubbing my fingers through my hair, I contemplate speaking with my mother. She’s better at this mate thing than I am. She’s managed to put up with my father for thirty years, so she could have an idea on how to get Fiona back on my side. However, she’s always been a Lycan, so she may not h
“Why has no one called the fire department?” I growl, a fear and fury like I’ve never felt before urges me forward. It takes all of one minute to dart down the street and run up to her door, lunging at it. In midair, I shift, and my shoulder slams into the front door. I bounce back and then ram it
Fiona Leaning against the edge of the bed, I lift my leg and study the white wrappings around my ankle and foot. The harsh burning is now only a dull, itchy throb, just enough to be uncomfortable and slightly maddening. I lean over, but a coughing fit makes me straighten up, wheezing and hacking
Moving as quickly as I can, I shuffle over to him, sit on the side of the bed, and take his hand in mine. “Fiona, you shouldn’t be out of bed,” he mutters, pushing himself up. I help him by laying pillows behind his back and arranging them to help him sit up. He looks worse than he did the other n
Fiona Would he… could he forgive me? I’ve nearly gotten him killed. That’s not something that most people could get over easily no matter who they are. It’s not the first time, either. There have been several times since we met where Ethan saved me. Some of the times were deadly while others w
Their gowns are so much nicer and more extravagant than mine.“You look beautiful,” Ethan says softly, his lips brushing my ear. “You outshine every woman here.”My heart skips a beat in my chest, and I tighten my arm around his as we continue walking. How does he know just what to say?“Alpha Montg
FionaThe last three days have been full of meet and greets, healing lessons, and alone-time with Ethan. I haven’t met the whole pack yet, but Ethan thought it would be a good idea to start introducing me slowly to people. I’ve met the healers, some of Ethan’s friends, several of the Gammas, and a f
Ethan“We’re glad to see you feeling better,” Elder Nugyen says as we enter the meeting room. Each of the pack Elders takes a seat, murmuring their agreements and greeting me. I take a seat at the head of the table, motioning for them to sit.“It’s good to be back, and I am thankful for your help, E
Before I can say anything else, Ethan is over me, pulling my hips up and entering me. He slides into my slick heat, filling me in the best way and making me cry out with relief. Then he’s moving, and I’m clinging onto him as we both ride the waves of pleasure.My fingers dig into his shoulders, and
FionaEthan’s lips.His hands.The way his chest vibrates against mine.How he digs his fingers into my ass and pulls me impossibly closer as we kiss.It all sends me into a spiral of pleasure and has me forgetting the pain. Everything is washed away by the fact that we are finally together.“Down,”
Fiona“You have a natural gift,” a soft, clear voice says.Pulling my eyes away from the sun setting over the ocean, I look up to find a woman standing slightly behind me. She looks down at me for a moment before lowering herself to sit on the grass beside me.The breeze lifts her long hair, and it
“Keep a close eye on the Bluemoon pack. They may try to attack soon if they already sent out scouts.”“There were four in total, and each is locked up in the Pack House basement,” Ryan informs me, and I stop walking. He hadn’t told me they caught the intruders. “I didn’t want to let them go, in case
EthanSuch is the life of a leader.“This vendetta wouldn’t be good for either pack, and I’ve told him to stand down, but I’ve had two Gammas watching your father since I learned of his plans. If you don’t stop him, I don’t think he’ll stop,” Ryan says. I sigh and scrub my hand down my face. My fath
EthanThere is no reason my mate should be here, in the hospital, surrounded by my best pack healers and my Beta.It’s the first thing that ran through my mind when I saw her laying in this bed, looking pale and sick. The next thought was that I shouldn’t be in the hospital. I rub my temples, trying
