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
My brave girl. Fiona “I-I’m ready,” I stammer, tightening my arms around my legs. If I don’t do this now, I’m scared I won’t ever do it. I can’t run from this because Ethan is what he is. That won’t change. It’s better to try to embrace who he is or at least try to understand. So, I watch, usi
“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
