Fiona’s POV I approach the door cautiously, my mind still echoing Micah's words about taking extra care for safety. With trepidation, I approach the intercom and ask, "Who is it?" "Hey, it's me, Leah!" Her cheerful voice filters through, and I breathe a sigh of relief. I hastily slip the bracelet
As my suspicion deepens, I recall the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. In that secluded corner, aside from Rowena, Leah was also present. She was the first person to come to us when I stood there with Jeremy. It had all seemed so innocent then, but I recall the strange clicking sound right before L

Fiona’s POV Everything feels too cold. I am frozen in place; the air is ice on my skin. I am not interested in this nonsense. The words repeat in my mind like a broken record. It was Micah’s voice on the phone. There is no doubt about it. I would recognize it anywhere. I know it as well as I kno
“Let me talk to him,” I burst out. “Let me speak to him. He probably misunderstood everything because of your altered voice. If I call for help, if he knows it’s me, he’ll come. He will come for sure.” I can hear the desperation in my voice and panic crawls up my throat. I realize with shocking cla
Fiona’s POV I watch the fire as it licks the exit door. It’s a golden beast waiting to devour me. I watch it listless, broken. Would it hurt to be burned by it? Could it hurt more than it already does? When the time comes, Micah will choose me. Mark my words, Fiona. Rowena’s words taunt me as the
I will not die here. A new determination grips me. I will get out of this alive. Something inside me hardens. I will save myself tonight. I spur into action. I rip the hem of the dress I wear and use the tattered cloth to cover my mouth and protect myself from the smoke. I back into the only c

Fiona’s POVThe Lycan King's eyes blaze with fury as Micah steps forward, standing tall in front of me and protecting me from the eyes of everyone in the room."Micah, how dare you still want to marry this... this evil girl? Do you not care about what she did to Rowena?" the King demands, his voice
Unsure of what to do, I move to help Rowena when the door to the bridal room bursts open.Micah strides in, his eyes narrow at the sight before him. Behind him, the Lycan King and Queen enter, followed by Jeremy and Leah. The tension in the room spikes instantly."What is all this commotion?" the Ki
Fiona’s POVI move to pick up the almost empty coffee cup, next to me but my hand twitches and it suddenly shatters in my hands. Shocked by my own strength, I stare at the broken pieces.Ever since Micah and I marked each other, it’s like I’ve been changing. Somehow, my senses have gotten sharper. I
He arches an eyebrow, clearly unsatisfied. “Louder.”“I’m yours,” I repeat, my voice stronger this time, but still shaky. He gives me another teasing stroke, and I can’t help but moan.“Louder, Fiona. I need to hear you,” he says, his voice a mix of demand and dark promise. He brushes his thumb over
Fiona’s POVMicah doesn’t release me as we walk inside. The power is out because of the heavy rain, and shadows are everywhere, making the house feel eerie. The only sounds are the distant rumble of thunder and our soft footsteps on the hardwood floor."Micah?" I ask, my voice small and nervous in t

“Maybe, you were always cautious in your ways, Jeremy but I am sure the same can’t be said about Aunt Emma and her son. Starting there will probably be a good trail that will help expose your crimes.” I continue, watching as he becomes more and more agitated.“How - how did you know?” He finally ask
