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’
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.
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 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
“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 “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
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 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
Shifting, I press my legs together, remembering the pleasure that rushed through me. The tingly feeling rises in me again, and I have to take deep breaths to push it down, especially when I notice Ethan’s nose lift into the air and his eyes glowing. Crap. Can he smell me from there? I knew his
Zev With a growl, I pull my mate close, reveling in her sweet, hot scent. I can’t keep my hands from roaming her luscious body, and when she moans, arching into me, I growl. She tastes divine, better than anything I’ve ever experienced before, and I can’t get enough. I’ll never get enough of her
“Well, he wasn’t as handsome as you,” I coo, nuzzling his nose with mine. He freezes momentarily before rubbing against my neck and cheeks, his soft fur tickling my exposed skin. The rumble coming from Ethan’s wolf turns into a purring sound when I slide my hands down behind his ears. I smile. Who
Fiona “Thank you. I… we should’ve talked about this weeks ago,” I mutter, dropping my head forward to rest on our combined hands. “You’re right. I promise I’ll let you know about anything happening from here on out. We’ll work through problems together,” Ethan tells me. “Now, come with me.” Su
“Hi, wolfy,” I whisper, waving my fingers in a small gesture. Ethan groans and shakes his head, his eyes returning to their normal green. He chuckles and looks over at me, saying, “Don’t tempt him. He wants to come out and see you just as much as I wanted to see you when I got back tonight.” “An
Fiona “I’m here for you,” he answers, but I step back, making his hand drop from my face. “Here for me?” I push down the hope that foolishly rises inside me. He wasn’t supposed to be back until tomorrow, but he’s here now. Ethan nods, his eyes roam from the top of my head down my body in a s
“I’d like to say she’s okay, but she’s not. She didn’t quit, but I stayed in your office to keep an eye on her,” he says with a sigh. Mental images of Fiona crying at her desk, laying her head down, and working slowly with a faraway look in her eyes assault my brain. The image of her tears makes my
Ethan Climbing into the rental car, I crank it up and tear out of the airport parking lot. The entire flight back, I thought about what Mr. Denton said, and he’s right. There’s nothing more important to me than Fiona. I will refuse this marriage for my mate. She’s the light in my life, and if my
It’s a familiar scent, one we’ve smelled many times, but each time we see her, it gets sweeter. After a minute, she pulls away and stands, giving me space to shift back to my human form. “Alpha. To what do I owe this pleasure?” Mr. Denton asks, bowing slightly in greeting. “Could we go inside?
