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 POVKnocking on Nolan’s office door, I wait for him to call me in before pushing the door open and entering. He sits at his desk, stiff and concentrated on the papers in front of him until I stop in front of his desk.“I need you to prepare a birthday gift for Chloe,” he says curtly. His daugh
Finding a gift for someone you don’t truly know is difficult. I don’t want to choose something, and it turns out that she hates it. I’d be fired for sure.“Fiona.”I jump and spin around to find Nolan standing behind me.“Y-yes? I was just…” I glance at my computer screen and cringe. I must look lik
Fiona POV“Andy!” Princess Chloe greets her husband with a smile and a kiss before turning to me. “This is my husband and mate, Andy.”Andy, pretending as if we’ve never met, smiles kindly and holds his hand out. I glance at it then at Nolan who watches with a plain expression. Andy clearly doesn’t
Fiona POVI can’t believe the lengths this piece of scum would go to in order to get the King’s good graces. He’s found a way to worm his way into Nolan’s life without any suspicion, and as I look at the newlyweds, I see Andy has clearly succeeded.Nolan isn’t suspicious of him at all.I should tell
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
