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
My nerves grow shakier and shakier, and I clutch at the hem of the t-shirt I’m wearing. How much time would be too much time? I look at Ethan and sigh. “I might need more time to fully accept all of this,” I tell him, waving my arms around before motioning to him. “This is a huge secret and some
Ethan Fiona’s fear let off a bitter smell, but it wasn’t as pungent as before. The longer we sit here talking, the calmer she grows, even as she asks to see my wolf. However, the smell still leaves a sick, nauseous feeling in my stomach. She didn’t need to admit it for me to know, but I liked th
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
