“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
Fiona“You have a visitor,” Ethan calls from the living room. I pull my shirt over my head and poke my head out of his bedroom. When I don’t see anyone, I look at him. “Ryan just linked me and said Sophie is here,” he explains. I slip my feet into my shoes that are by the door. “Woah, she’s on her w
“And this,” Sophie pulls another girl forward. Her curly red hair falls in her face, but the grin on her face as she pushes it away tells me it happens all the time. “This is Nova. She grew up in the pack like me, but she’s twenty-five, like you. She’s a firecracker and loves putting people in their
Fiona“Thanks for coming Laxus,” I say as he helps me out of the car. Sophie, Nova, Laura, and Claire all wave from the sidewalk. Nova immediately bows in her passionate, yet rigid manner, while the other girls all welcome us.“Luna, I made you these prenatal vitamins,” Laura says, pulling out a lit
FionaSophie, Claire, Laura, and I huddle in the back room of the shop, and I can’t catch my breath. If those people get in here, they’re going to get hurt because of me.“I think we should try to sneak out the back,” Laura says.“Are you crazy?!” Claire whisper shrieks.“They might find us if we—”
FionaAs the bunny wiggles in my hold, I begin to laugh. It wants to be free so bad that I release it, much to Zev’s chagrin. He jerks, like he wants to follow the little animal, but before he can take chase, I grab his face and kiss him.“Wh-why did you let it go?” He questions, staring in the dire
I meet his thrusts, lifting my hips. My vision blurs as the pleasure builds to a storm of lightning within my body, and my head almost falls back. Zev’s hand catches it, tucking me closer to his body.Something in me flares to life as he tucks my head into his neck, and I lick his neck, nibbling and
Unknown POVFrom across the room, I watch Fiona, the loser Luna, laugh with the three healers and her friends. It’s ridiculous that anyone accepts her, and to find out that some of my pack mates welcome her with open arms is even more absurd.She’s a human, which means she’s weak. From everything I’
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,
Ethan POVMy senses return as the darkness fades away, and I groan because my limbs feel heavy, and my head aches. Taking several deep breaths, I blink to clear my vision, confused when I can’t move my arms.Looking around, I find my wrists trapped in heavy chains. I follow the chains to the wall, n
“Don’t presume you can make demands here, little girl. Now, eat your breakfast like a good prisoner.”The edge in his tone freezes me to the spot, even when he leans forward, snaps another picture, and then unties my hands. I’m too scared to move. I can only watch him leave me behind, closing the do
Fiona POVA clicking sound from somewhere near me has me stirring, but the flash is what brings me fully out of my sleep. The pain in the back of my head is a dull throb, but it grows as I open my eyes just when another flash hits.What is that?My body screams in protest when I sit up and look arou
Ethan POVShoving my father to the ground in front of the pack house, I growl at him. He thrashes, still thinking he can get away even as I grab him by the back of his neck.“If you don’t answer me, then you are no longer welcome in this pack.”My mother gasps from behind me, “Ethan, you can’t banis
Ethan POV“Your father is freaking out,” Ryan says through our mind link.“Freaking out?” I ask as I shift back to my human form. Michael and Robert bow their wolf heads and lead the Gammas back to their barracks. “What does that mean? What’s he doing?”“He’s making a mess of the pack house’s common
Ethan POVTaking a deep breath, I push the door open and step out into my front yard. Fiona has been missing for two hours, and with each passing second, I feel my chest grow tighter. She’s already been gone too long, making me and Zev both angry and anxious to the point of shaking.I shake off the
Fiona POVPain.Stupid, throbbing, aching pain screams in the back of my head as I feel myself coming out of a heavy, groggy sleep.What the heck happened?Blinking, I force my eyes open and find myself still covered in darkness. Though, it’s not pitch black. There is a bit of sunlight coming into t
It seems like everything is too quiet.“Alpha, there have been rogues spotted near the Southern borders,” Ryan mind links.“Send a group of guards. I’m on my way.”Racing outside, I shift and charge toward the southern border. There’s not too much to the south of us, but I won’t let the rogues hurt
