Ethan “Just hurry,” my wolf urges as I roll my suitcase into the house. Silence greets me, since the staff has the week off, and my wolf paces in my subconscious. He’s been on edge all day, which has also put me on edge. Flying with an anxious wolf in your head is annoying but add the odd exciteme
Her pointy fingernail digs into my shoulder as she pokes me in a weird, pathetic display of dominance. If she hadn’t already said all of this to me already, I would be angrier. However, I promised myself I wouldn’t listen to her, so I take my seat again and do my best to ignore the witch as she hove

“Are you okay, now, though?” He asks, gently taking my injured wrist and changing the subject. The change in his mood is starting to hurt my head, and I wish he would just pick one side and stick with it. Choosing to fight that battle at another time, I focus on my wrist. “The doctor told me the
Fiona Guilt pools in my chest, making it tighten. It was wrong. I know it was, but I still did it. I’d been mad at Ethan for doing exactly what I just did to him. “Did you use me to get at your husband?” He asks again, his tone hard and relentless. It demands the truth and nothing but that, show
Fiona “Well, I’m calling to let you know you passed the job interview with flying colors, and I would love for you to join my company,” he says. I bite my bottom lip, cringing. With everything going on, I’d forgotten to call him and let him know I already got a job. “I’d love for you to come t
Fiona Sighing, I take a seat at the furthest table from the door, which isn’t far in the small staff room. No one else is in the room, and when I look at my phone, I realize it’s because lunch is technically still an hour away. At least I’ll have the quiet and won’t have to worry about anyone bo
I mentally kick myself. He’s probably incredibly busy at a company like Silverclaw. He wouldn’t have time to help me if I needed anything. “I’m the intern for the COO,” he tells me. “Ryan?” “Um, yes. He’s my brother,” Paul says, dipping his head. I smile. No wonder he’s so nice. Ryan is also o

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

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
