“I should ask you that,” he mutters, stepping closer. My breath catches when his fingers brush my cheek right beneath my eyes. “You cried.” I nod then shrug, trying to ignore the heartache that sprouts in my chest at his words. I’d done really well forgetting about it while I cooked. “It’s nothi
Fiona Alpha. I’ve heard that word before, but the time and place escape me. “A poor human like you doesn’t deserve to know an Alpha. Actually,” she sneers, “You don’t deserve to breathe the same air as him.” “What are you on about?” Isla asks, her anger growing. “You have no right to tell
Just as the elevator dings and opens, a scoff sounds. When I look up, I see the rich girl from the shop yesterday. She glares contemptuously at me before stepping out of the elevator. She skirts around us, as if she’s afraid of touching me, and from the nonsense she spewed yesterday about me being
Fiona Stepping off the elevator, I sigh at the quiet of our floor. All week, I’ve felt the eyes and whispers of my coworkers following me, and even though I’ve tried to ignore them, it’s difficult. There have been a few situations where I caught them talking about me in the break room or on the

Ethan Ending the call, I groan. Next week’s Lycan King meeting has been moved to tomorrow morning. As if this week hadn’t already been stressful enough with Fiona being less than fifteen feet away, my wolf howling in my head every five seconds, and the cancellation of the blood shipment to the chi
Immediately, Ethan drops his fork and before I can blink, I’m in his arms, and we’re halfway up the stairs to his room. Within minutes, I’m on my back on his bed with Ethan hovering over me. His lips find mine in a hard, hot kiss, and I moan when his fingers find my hips, gripping me. Ethan tr
Fiona “Where did you choose?” I ask Isla as she pulls away from my driveway. After the call with my dad, I’d gone home to sleep off my sadness, but not before Isla demanded that we go out for dinner tonight. I still feel the heavy weight of disappointment and sadness hanging over me at what my f

My nerves grew as we get closer to the statue, and I notice the food, flowers, money, and many other things laid out at the bottom of the statue. I glance down at the small gift I brought, nervous that it’s not enough.Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to bring. Ethan said it is a gift of thanks and that
Fiona POV“He should be here any minute,” I tell Healer Farah as she preps the ultrasound machine.Ethan is on his way back from the meeting with the Northern Alphas. He told me that with the death of Alpha Thrange, the other Alphas decided that any form of rebellion or resistance was futile. They s
Everyone stills and turns to look at the two Alphas fighting. Or really, they turn in time to see Ethan rip into the man who kidnapped me.“I’ve never seen Ethan so angry,” Aaron mutters, his wide eyes never leaving the bloody scene in front of us. Honestly, I thought the fight would be more difficu
Fiona POVI let myself sink into Ethan’s chest, sobbing as his arms surround me. One hand cradles the back of my neck while the other pulls me closer by my back. That pleasurable, calming tingle from his touch sweeps through my body, giving my body a chance to finally relax.It feels like I can fina
Ethan POV“Is everyone ready?”Tension and adrenaline pump through my veins, making it nearly impossible to stop pacing since I got word from the scouts that they may have found my mate. If they’re right, then she’s with Alpha Thrange of the Whiteclaw Pack.“We’re almost ready,” Alpha Mandra says, g

However, if Fiona does happen to be in one of the two packs the scouts mentioned, we’ll be able to get in and get out without alerting them. I don’t want to lose this chance to search for Fiona. It could be my only chance to do so without violence.“Which means I need us to keep a lock on our anger,
Ethan POVMy senses return as the darkness fades away, and I groan because my limbs feel heavy, and my head aches. Taking several deep breaths, I blink to clear my vision, confused when I can’t move my arms.Looking around, I find my wrists trapped in heavy chains. I follow the chains to the wall, n
