“Not yet. We still have a few weeks before then,” I answer, smiling. He takes a deep breath that has me and Aaron looking at him with a bit of worry.“Sorry. Sorry. It’s just, I’ve only had you back for a week and now this… I still see you as that little baby girl I lost,” he says before pulling me
EthanSomething about Fiona feels off. Her smile is strained, and when I try to poke at her mind, she has her mental shield up. She hasn’t put that up much with me recently, but maybe all this is a bit much. I don’t like seeing her standing so stiff and acting like nothing is wrong when clearly ther
Thirty minutes? An hour? “Was it Aaron? Did he do it on accident?” I ask, trying to figure out why she won’t just give me a name. “Do you know him? Could you point him out if you saw him again?” “It was,” she pauses and sighs before looking up at me again. “Your father had some opinions on how w
FionaSomething changes. The air grows heavy and the new presence inside me stirs.“What’s happening?”As soon as the words leave my mouth, Ethan comes sprinting into the crowd, his eyes quickly glance over the group before they land on me.“There’s something wrong,” my father says, looking to Ethan
One minute I’m watching her fight off three wolves, and the next minute, Aaron is shifting and his dark brown wolf is tearing them off of her. My father shifts into a larger version of Aaron’s wolf and also joins the fight, tackling a rogue that comes at us from the side.Then there’s Ethan. I didn’

“I’m fine,” I say softly, not wanting to agitate her. I’m not sure what state she’s in, the wolf, I mean. Interrupting her taking care of her mate’s injuries may not be a wise choice, so I lean in and allow her to clean my wounds.She moves to my other arm where the claw marks that were raked down m

FionaWhy is everyone staring at me?I glance back at Laxus and Michael, wondering it the stares bother them as much as they’re freaking me out. Is it because we told everyone I’m pregnant?That was an entire week ago, and I haven’t noticed this many stares until today, so what’s the deal?Subtly, I
“You alright?”Nodding, I smile and answer as honestly as possible, “I am, but I wish my mother were here.”Ethan POVExcluding Alpha Mandra, who I recently learned is Fiona’s Uncle, I send out my physical and digital invitations. Each Alpha in the North, all eight of them, will receive the summons
Fiona“It was nice to meet you, little Queen,” Alpha Mandra says with a bow. “I will be in contact with you again.”“Really?” I ask, confused. I like the man, but I didn’t think he was the type to become friends with someone like me. It’s a bit strange, but I like it. Having more friends, even if th
I sit back, finished with my tirade, and listen as they continue their discussion.“We don’t know for a fact that Fiona is the rogue’s target, but it’s a good start. I propose we send a few warriors to No Man’s Land to infiltrate the rogue camps and search for information,” Ethan says, looking to th
Fiona“You will bite your tongue,” Alpha Mandra says at the same time Ethan speaks.“You will not disrespect my mate, Alpha Moore.”“It’s not disrespect if it is true. She is weak and not fit to be the Luna Queen,” Alpha Moore says without fear. He’s brave, or stupid; that’s for sure. “Even though s
