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
Fiona “Come on,” Ethan whispers, tugging me toward the bathroom. I allow him to guide me, bringing me into the bathroom and sitting me on the sink. Then, I watch as he walks over to the shower and turns the knobs, testing the water until it’s just right. Steam fills the room, fogging up the glas
Ethan spins toward me, surprised. “You want to. You shouldn’t go to the house while you’re still injured,” he tells me, laying his hands on my shoulders. “You should stay in bed a little longer until you’re fully recovered.” “Me? You’re the one with the more severe injuries,” I argue. “Besides,
Fiona I stumble, crying out when my ankle twists a funny way as I climb through the rubble. Ethan catches me, his hands gripping my waist to steady me. “Th-thanks,” I mumble, letting myself hold onto his wrists as he lifts me and sets me back down on more sturdy ground. “Do you think we’ll be
If I don’t find anything else, I hope I can at least find the necklace. I try not to keep my hopes too high, though, because it could’ve been melted or burned away by the fire. It was small and the fire was hot. Most likely it got destroyed like everything else. “Did you have a safe?” Ethan asks a
“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
