Fiona“I found out about a week after I left your house, actually,” I murmurs, laying my head back and tilting it up to look at Ethan. My entire body is so relaxed, I almost feel like jelly. That massage was exactly what I needed. “I was sick for a while after I left, so Isla made me go to the doct

“Hi, Arthur,” I say softly, and he smiles when he straightens up. Aaron does the same, bows and touches my hand to his forehead.“Hi, Aaron. It’s nice to see you again,” I tell him, unsure what else to say. As he returns my greeting, the old woman catches my eye again, and she’s still staring. I smi

Ethan POV“Is everyone ready?”Tension and adrenaline pump through my veins, making it nearly impossible to stop pacing since I got word from the scouts that they may have found my mate. If they’re right, then she’s with Alpha Thrange of the Whiteclaw Pack.“We’re almost ready,” Alpha Mandra says, g

However, if Fiona does happen to be in one of the two packs the scouts mentioned, we’ll be able to get in and get out without alerting them. I don’t want to lose this chance to search for Fiona. It could be my only chance to do so without violence.“Which means I need us to keep a lock on our anger,
