I haven’t seen him in action, but the clear admiration tells me that Nolan is good at what he does.As the meeting begins, I make sure to pay attention, typing out the information in short yet detailed notes. Several of the workers around the table present information to Nolan, and with each person,
Fiona POV“You will formally take over responsibility for the meeting materials and records as well as keeping tabs on the proposal Mr. Parson gave.”After making my way back to my desk, I have to sit down because my head is still spinning from what King Nolan said. I haven’t even been here for a we
I don’t want to make a fuss, so I continue digging.Pile after pile, and I still don’t find the document. I take out my list of documents I’d recorded, but again, I find no trace of the Armond file.“I’m sorry, but are you sure you brought it to me?”Supervisor Chanler scoffs at my question and shak
Fiona POVI laugh and take a sip of my drink. Why would Nolan be here? He’s probably still at the office, working late like usual. Not that he would be out drinking. I’m pretty sure it was a fluke that he was out the night we met.As I finish off my glass of wine, a man dressed in a maroon suit and
Being married to the Princess shouldn’t give him a free pass. So, after confirming Billy’s status as a detective, I pull my phone out.The bar music grows louder, and I lean closer to Billy to ask, “Can we exchange numbers? I want to be able to contact you if I find anything at the company and vice
Fiona POVThe words send my world crashing down around me.The hazy drunkenness cracks and shatters, washing over me like a cold shower. He knows about Andy. Nolan, the King and my boss, knows about the horrible mistake of a relationship with his son-in-law.My heart nearly stop as I stare up at him
Fiona POVNolan’s face freezes then he growls in frustration, “You no longer need to be obsessed with Andy. He is married and mated to my daughter now, and all you must do is stay away from him. He is no longer your boyfriend or your concern.”The sharp tone makes me sigh. I was wrong to think that
“I’m fine on my own. You can stay with your friend,” I tell him, moving away from his touch. “I can get home on my own.”Then, before either of them can protest, I book it out of there.Nolan POVI watch as Fiona walks away from me, but really, she practically runs away.Carl hums and elbows me, “Sh
Fiona POV“Fiona, I didn’t think I would get a call from you so soon, and on a Friday night of all nights,” Alpha Mina says with a smile. “I figured your weekends would be busy as a young lady with no mate.”Her words unintentionally dig into my chest. She’s half right. Usually my nights are busy, b
Pushing through the front doors of Iron Wolf Pub, I immediately scan the busy room. The bar looks the same as it did a week ago when I was here with Alpha Mina, except tonight, it’s busier. Even with all the people, I don’t find the one I’m looking for.“Excuse me,” I call to the bartender who immed
Fiona POVThe chicken in my skillet sizzles, smelling richly of spices and making my stomach growl. Getting to leave work early today was a blessing. It actually gave me time to cook for myself instead of picking up a frozen meal or eating a sandwich like always.I stir the vegetables in the other p
Fiona POVAfter a restless night full of tossing and turning, I trudge into work and sit at my desk. I quietly greet those who speak to me, but I don’t engage in conversation. I move through my morning tasks slowly, making sure everything is perfect, so I don’t have to interact with Nolan when he ge
Fiona POVIce cream in hand, I flop down on the couch, take a bite of chocolatey goodness, and turn on the TV for a distraction. Anger and confusion fill me, making even my ice cream taste bad.Nolan shouldn’t have been so angry. Yes, I was only twenty minutes late returning from lunch, but it wasn’
“Could I think about it for a few days?” I ask hesitantly. “I haven’t been in a relationship in a while and…”I don’t want to say anything about Andy, but Billy seems to understand because he squeezes my hand gently and smiles again.“Of course. Take as much time as you need, but I want you to know
Fiona POVMy fingers move on their own as I type out a general thank you email to each of the people who sent money to raise funds for the festival.Nolan didn’t need the money, being rich and all, but he said turning the money away would hurt the feelings of those who wanted to give.Just as I send
Fiona POVThe icy glare Chloe sends my way when she arrives is not surprising. She’s been sending me the same angry look for two days, since I called her.I tried to apologize and explain my phone call, but she wouldn’t listen. There is no hint of the kind, bubbly girl I first met. Now she’s like a
Fiona POVThat bastard had no right to treat me like a common gold digger. Nolan knows how I feel about Andy, yet he still had the gall to suggest that I’m the one trying to climb to a higher position. The thought of stooping to Andy’s level and going behind Nolan’s back like that makes my stomach c
