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
Fiona The silence is too much, so I turn the tv on and let a random movie fill the background. Then, I slowly slide down to the floor, settling on my bottom while watching the wolf. He watches me with a tilt of his head, studying me like a predator. Though, it doesn’t feel dangerous. Not like a
“We have the same goals, dreams, intentions, and bodies, but our personalities are slightly different. He has his own will as do I, but we almost always line up with each other,” he tells me, and I nod. “You’re like platonic soulmates?” Ethan pauses then nods. “Yes, actually. Not only do we get
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’
