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
Fiona The sun shines brightly against the clear blue ocean, and I just stare. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, so much so that I can’t take my eyes off of it. Somewhere behind me, Ethan is rolling our luggage in, but the moment I saw the large windows overlooking the ocean, I ran ove
“So, exactly how good are your senses? How far away can you hear or smell? Wait, is that a question I can ask?” I ask as we reach the water. It laps against the sand, making the grains slightly squishy to the touch. The water washes over my feet as we walk along the shoreline, and I let the warmth s
Fiona Going against my better judgement, I answer the phone and bring it to my ear. The way I immediately regret answering the phone isn’t surprising to me, but it’s sad. I shouldn’t dread answering a phone call from one of my parents, yet here I am. “That witch!” My father screams, making my ear
Ethan growls down at the struggling wolf, and Laxus leans against the gate, watching his Alpha closely. The murderous rage doesn’t fall away, instead Laxus realizes, as his Alpha lifts his claw-tipped fingers, that it’s grown.“Alpha! He’s down!” Laxus shouts, hoping it’ll pierce the feral haze. Thi
EthanRolling my neck and breathing through the funk I’m in, I follow Laxus out of the tent and to the arena. Shouts and screams cheer fighters on, calling for them to beat the shit out of each other. I wasn’t the first fight of the day, which was probably good after the episode I had earlier.“Zev,
“Like black market?” I whisper, glancing around me. Isla perks up at that and gives me a questioning look.“No.” Sophie laughs. “It’s not illegal. It’s just a little something that a few of the Western immigrants set up to sell to those of us who are over here temporarily so we don’t miss home too m
Fiona“Thank goodness there’s an index because I wouldn’t know where to start if there wasn’t,” I mumble to myself. I flip to page seventy-two and find a second recipe for anti-nausea tea. I write down the recipe in my notebook.“Do you think you have enough?” Isla asks skeptically as she peers over
Red seeps deeper into my vision, taking over like it has several times in the last few days. As if sensing the change, Laxus looks back over his shoulder and his eyes widen.The man continues, pulling my attention back to him as he speaks, “Not that either of you deserves the title of Alpha, especia
Ethan“What’s wrong with you?” Laxus, my number one Gamma, asks, eyeing me. He’s been training with me for the last two days, and I know he’s noticed. Everyone probably has. No matter how hard I try to hide it, there’s something wrong.My skin feels tight over my entire body. The pain ripping down m
An unfamiliar medicine name is printed on the paper.“What’s this?”“It’s a nausea medicine I want you to pick up,” she says, and I look back at the paper. I’d already told her I took medicine, and it didn’t do anything. “It’s safe for you to take, but it’s a higher dosage than anything you can get
FionaI groan, squeezing my eyes closed as the nausea rolls through my body.“Okay, that’s it,” Isla says, the bite in her tone making me open my eyes. She stomps over and helps me up off the floor, shouldering most of my weight. “It’s been two days, and I can’t watch you waste away like this any lo
“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
