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
“Wait, Jessica did wh—” “That’s the problem,” I cry. “You don’t even know that I almost died and here you are complaining that your ridiculous wife has been cheating on you. Well, Dad, you reap what you sew, and with the way you treated Mom before she died, I say you’re getting exactly what you gav
Fiona Falling apart in Ethan’s arms is easy. Too easy, honestly. The warmth he provides naturally makes me want to sink into him and forget everything that’s around us. The weight of his arms around me increases the sense of security, letting me know nothing could breach his protection. His whisper
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
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
EthanThe doors at the back of the throne room open, and the King steps into the room. I gently pull Fiona closer to my side, not wanting her to move away from me.I don’t need her to see anyone else look at her with disgust, especially if the King decides to send the same kind of look to her. The K
Their gowns are so much nicer and more extravagant than mine.“You look beautiful,” Ethan says softly, his lips brushing my ear. “You outshine every woman here.”My heart skips a beat in my chest, and I tighten my arm around his as we continue walking. How does he know just what to say?“Alpha Montg
FionaThe last three days have been full of meet and greets, healing lessons, and alone-time with Ethan. I haven’t met the whole pack yet, but Ethan thought it would be a good idea to start introducing me slowly to people. I’ve met the healers, some of Ethan’s friends, several of the Gammas, and a f
Ethan“We’re glad to see you feeling better,” Elder Nugyen says as we enter the meeting room. Each of the pack Elders takes a seat, murmuring their agreements and greeting me. I take a seat at the head of the table, motioning for them to sit.“It’s good to be back, and I am thankful for your help, E
Before I can say anything else, Ethan is over me, pulling my hips up and entering me. He slides into my slick heat, filling me in the best way and making me cry out with relief. Then he’s moving, and I’m clinging onto him as we both ride the waves of pleasure.My fingers dig into his shoulders, and
FionaEthan’s lips.His hands.The way his chest vibrates against mine.How he digs his fingers into my ass and pulls me impossibly closer as we kiss.It all sends me into a spiral of pleasure and has me forgetting the pain. Everything is washed away by the fact that we are finally together.“Down,”
Fiona“You have a natural gift,” a soft, clear voice says.Pulling my eyes away from the sun setting over the ocean, I look up to find a woman standing slightly behind me. She looks down at me for a moment before lowering herself to sit on the grass beside me.The breeze lifts her long hair, and it
“Keep a close eye on the Bluemoon pack. They may try to attack soon if they already sent out scouts.”“There were four in total, and each is locked up in the Pack House basement,” Ryan informs me, and I stop walking. He hadn’t told me they caught the intruders. “I didn’t want to let them go, in case
EthanSuch is the life of a leader.“This vendetta wouldn’t be good for either pack, and I’ve told him to stand down, but I’ve had two Gammas watching your father since I learned of his plans. If you don’t stop him, I don’t think he’ll stop,” Ryan says. I sigh and scrub my hand down my face. My fath
