Fiona “Friday at one o’clock. Yes sir,” I confirm, entering the new meeting on Ethan’s schedule. I glance through the glass of Ethan’s office which is still empty. He’s been in a development meeting for the last hour with Chris’s company to discuss the equipment for the new wing at the hospital.
“Fi,” Jack says, trying to get my attention. I type up the message from Mr. Smith into the notes box on the appointment, but half way through, my screen goes black. “What the—” “Are you going to listen to me now?” Jack asks, pulling his hand back from my monitor. Did he just… “Did you just shu
Fiona I flip the chicken in the skillet, listening to the sizzle of the meat against the heat. The bold, sharp scent of a spice from the cabinet rises and fills the air, making my eyes water a bit. I’m not sure what it is, but before they left, the kitchen staff recommended it as one of Ethan’s fav
“You want more?” he whispers, and I nod. “Uh, uh,” he says, curling his fingers and sucking at my clit. Shock after shock of heat shoot into me as he says, “Give me the words, baby.” “P-please, Ethan,” I beg, looking down at him just in time to see him smirk. “As you wish, little mate.” Those w
FionaI should feel guilty about how unbothered I am that Ethan fired Jack, but I can’t find it in myself to give Jack any more energy than I did. He was a black spot on my conscience and now that he’s gotten part of the punishment he deserves, I honestly feel a bit refreshed.Thinking about Jack be
“Of course. I wouldn’t have offered if I didn’t truly want to be with you,” Ethan says, stands from his desk, and grabs his keys. I watch him walk over stare at him, for probably too long, as he holds his hand out to me.The moment my hand is in his, the tingles start up, traveling up my arm and set
EthanI watch Fiona speaking confidently and brightly with the lawyer about her problems. It’s such a difference from the woman I first met. We haven’t known each other long, but her self-conscious and restrained attitude from before has fallen away, leaving a beautiful, self-reliant creature standi
My plan to test Fiona resurfaces in my mind, and ignoring Zev’s protesting growls, I reach for her. My hands cup the backs of her arms, pulling her a little closer, needing the distance between us to shrink.“Let me buy you a house,” I say.As soon as the words leave my lips, Fiona herks back, her e
“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
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
