“If you release her, unharmed, I’ll let you leave, but hear me when I tell you this,” Ethan rumbles. “If you injure her, I’ll rip you limb from limb. You’ll wish you’d never stepped foot in this alley.” The threat sends a shiver down my spine, but not one of fear. The feeling that it produces is h
Ethan “We can’t let her leave,” my wolf growls, itching to come forward. Fiona’s friend glances back at him, nodding once to let him know she’ll keep Fiona safe, but I don’t want that. I want to be the one at her side keeping her safe and helping her through the pain she’s feeling, but she doesn’t
Combining the two Packs would boost my status which could then help with the election of Lycan King. Being in charge of such large packs would show everyone I can manage and rule, even with a human mate. My problem was that I don’t have a way to combine the packs other than the marriage. Neither m
Fiona His office has been empty all day. When I got to work this morning, Ethan was nowhere in sight, so I thought maybe he was coming in late. That was, until Ryan came to tell me Ethan wouldn’t be in today or tomorrow. He’d taken the days off to travel back home, which makes my stomach turn ev
“Fiona,” I say softly, stepping up to her side. I don’t want to scare her, but when she straightens the same stack of paper for the third time while mindlessly staring at her computer and moving with no purpose. The phone on her desk rings five times before she picks it up. “Mr. Montgomery’s off
Ethan Fuck. The last thing I need right now is for Fiona to disappear while I’m gone. “You should have told her where we were going,” my wolf says with an angry rumble while digging his claws into the veil between us. “I know,” I growl at him. I knew she wasn’t happy with me, so I didn’t want
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?
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
“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
