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
“Does your new wife know about this? I can’t imagine she’d be happy if she found out her oh so special mate wants another woman,” I say, pinning a hard glare on Andy. I have half of a mind to march into the hallway and tell her myself.I’d hate to break apart her happiness, but no one deserves trash
Fiona POV“I’ll drive you home.”The words come out even as I inwardly curse myself. Driving him home will only expose more of my faults. I haven’t driven a car since before I went to prison. This could be a disaster, but I still accept the keys when we reach his car and when he holds them out to me
“You are, and I wanted to thank you for stepping in earlier and for talking with me now,” I tell him sincerely. Spending the entire ride in silence would have been nerve wracking.“No one has ever told me that before.”“Really? Then they don’t matter,” I say, shaking my head. “I know Chloe thinks so
Fiona POV“Thank you so much!” I call to the lady who’d been helping me. She waves and welcomes me back anytime.After two days of searching, I finally found the necklace. Since Chloe loves high fashion items, I researched some of the brands she loves and found a one-of-a-kind necklace for auction.
I bite my lip, biting back a response, when someone else enters the room. She walks right over and sits in the third chair at the table.“What if it’s not true?” The new woman asks skeptically. “King Nolan hasn’t been married for years, and he hasn’t been seen with Tara in any of that time.”I want
“And the part where she slapped him right before kissing him,” I laugh, shaking my head. “The poor man looked so confused, and I don’t blame him.”“I agree, but the best part was definitely when he saved her from falling off the bridge at the end. There was so much tension, and she finally realized
Nolan POVFiona, surprisingly, is sitting with two women at one of the café tables I haven’t noticed her spending time with any of the employees around her, and I’m glad that she’s finally starting to reach out to others.After the other night, she’s been extremely quiet around me, and I can’t help
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
