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
“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
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
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
Fiona Checking off my last item on today’s to-do list, I press send on the email and sit back with a sigh. Today was exhausting, and not because of any work Ethan gave me to do, but because I was up all night. I probably only got four or five hours of sleep once we came inside from the yard and go
From that, it’s easy to realize who he’s yelling at. His father. Last night with Ethan and Zev was amazing but seeing him so worked up and angered brings me crashing back to reality. This closeness between us won’t last much longer, and as I think about it, I feel like a broken record. They’ll for
Fiona “Where are we going?” I ask for what feels like the millionth time. We’ve been driving for almost an hour, and not knowing is going to drive me crazy. So, I grab his arm, shaking it as Ethan turns onto another unknown road. “Come on, please tell me,” I beg, my eyes bouncing from him to the
Ethan waves him off, and Ryan nods, taking a few steps back. “We’re going to a southern island where we can spend time quietly together without any worries. It’s a small island with very few tourists, so we’ll have plenty of space and time to relax without other people bothering us. So, Fiona, do
“Did he think you would be a puppet forever? That he would be able to control you as you grew older?” Ethan scoffs and drives his fingers through his hair with a sharp exhale. The frustration tightens his body, making him go stiff under my touch, so I reach my arm around and rub my hand up and dow
Fiona “Can I ask you something?” I start, a bit hesitant because I know from our previous conversation this will be a sensitive topic. I want to know more about Ethan, and I want to know more about his family. The only way that will happen is to talk to him about it. We need to be open, and he sa
“Did you get a souvenir from the dance?” He asks, glancing around the booth. It has a hula vibe, so maybe this is where people buy their outfits when they practice hula. “I don’t remember getting one, but it’s been so long…” Ethan reaches for the skirt I’d picked up and takes it over to the lady
Fiona “Oh, my gosh! Look, Ethan,” I call, pointing down the little road to the grouping of stalls that line up along a boarded off street. It looks like some sort of market where people can sell things as vendors. “Do you want to check it out?” He asks, turning toward the street. Nodding, I try
“Bring Ethan back, please. I have something I need to say,” I tell him. He growls, then nips at my neck before fading back into Ethan. “Thank you for standing up for me and for saying all those nice things about me to your father,” I whisper, kissing Ethan briefly. He growls in response, yanking m
Fiona “If you bring it up again, I will personally visit the Moon Goddesses’ shrine and make a sacrifice like the old times to meet her and have her talk some sense into you,” Ethan’s voice growls from outside the door. The venom in his tone makes me shiver as I bolt up. I love that he’s standing
Ethan Something itching at my mind pulls me from sleep just as a phone ringing reaches my senses, making me jolt up. I look around, ready to throw the phone across the room until my mind fog clears. “…f you can hear me, but your father is pissed.” Ryan’s voice pauses before it begins again. “Etha
Ethan The wide-eyed expression gracing my mate’s face, and her reaction to my revelation that I’m in the running for Lycan King, is refreshing and amusing. I laugh again, and she scowls at me. “I said, it’s not funny! Why would you want to be a King? That’s… that’s crazy,” she exclaims, falling b
As we eat, I look out at the ocean and listen to the soothing crash of the waves. “This place is peaceful. What if we lived here, unlike back home,” I murmur, pulling my knees up to my chest once I’m finished with my food. “How peaceful would it be if my family were normal? Do you think it would b
