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
Fiona “Are you ready?” Ethan calls from the dining room. After a restless night, I made breakfast and Ethan announced that we were going shopping. I hadn’t expected him to announce we were going anywhere, especially shopping. While he’s always well dressed and sharp looking, I didn’t think he’d
“That’s… a lot to take in,” I tell him, feeling a bit overwhelmed, so I do what any normal person does when they’re overwhelmed. I distract myself. I spot a store that I’ve shopped at before and announce, “Let’s go in here.” Ethan allows me to pull him into the store and follows as I begin looking
Ethan The door clicks shut behind me before I quietly make my way down the hall. “We should stay with our mate,” my wolf grumbles, annoyed that she’s napping while we leave. “Thought you wanted to find the person who tried to kill her,” I retort. He growls, baring his teeth. “Of course, I do
Nodding, I flip to the next page of the report, which has images of two different doorknobs attached to the paper. I study them but can’t tell what the importance is. “Oh, these are interesting, E,” Jason says, pointing to the key slots. “Whoever did this, took time to break some sort of metal, pr
Fiona “Fiona Aldridge?” I turn, finding the owner of the light, questioning voice. A petite dark-haired woman watches me with curious eyes and a smile. “Yes,” I answer, feeding another paper into the copier. Even though she looks slightly familiar, I don’t believe I’ve met her. Or at lease, I
It’s cute. “Come here,” I mutter with a little laugh while turning the chair, grabbing him by the tie, and pulling him closer. I brush my fingers through his hair, fixing the mess he created and kissing his forehead. “Thank you,” he says before standing and adding, “We’re about to have guests.”
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
