Fiona After a surprisingly pleasant day at work, and a nice dinner with Ethan, I drive home with a gooey, warm feeling in my body. Throughout the whole day, Ethan was extra attentive, making sure I had anything I needed or stopping by my desk at random times. It’s different from his hovering yest
“It’s your fault I lost my money and now I’ve been demoted at work!” She yells, lunging forward and shoving me back. The sudden aggression catches me off guard, and I fall back, my butt hitting the hard floor. “What the hell, Jessica!?” I scream. “How is you getting demoted related to me?” I force
Fiona Looking down at the gorgeous navy-blue gown Isla picked out for me, I wonder how she talked me into going to this promotion party. Originally, I told her I wouldn’t go, but since then I’ve thought a lot. I told Isla I didn’t really feel like celebrating Jack or anything he does, but she ar
I don’t want to interrupt him, so I take Isla by the arm and drag her to the bar. “Is it always that heated between you two?” “Well, it’s been a bit more heated since he came back from his trip,” I admit, stepping up to the bar. “What can I get for you two lovely ladies?” The bar tender asks,
Fiona Staying far enough behind that I don’t get caught, I follow Jessica and Angela down the hallway, ducking behind a door when one of them turns around. I can’t hear their whispers, but with the way they glance over their shoulders, they’re up to something. They finally walk into the bathroom

Fiona He’s following me. Without looking behind me, I can tell Ethan is close behind. His heavy, warm presence is unmistakable and comforting. Honestly, it gives me the strength to keep going. However, as soon as I step out of the ballroom, a large hand circles the back of my arm, pulling me g
Ethan looks up from his meal, an eyebrow raised. Taking a steady breath, I look him directly in the eyes. His intense gaze makes me pause, but I don’t let it fully stop me as I say, “I wanted to tell you that, no matter what happens between me and Jack, I won’t use you to retaliate against him aga
Fiona POV“You look gorgeous,” Mom whispers, tears brimming her eyes. I smile at her through the mirror and look down at my dress.A week of shopping, I still didn’t find my dress, but after one visit to my mother, she had the perfect solution.“You look more beautiful in that dress than I ever coul
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

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
Third Person POVAs he sits back in his chair, the Alpha of the Whiteclaw Pack stares at the computer screen. The pretty little female curls into herself, pressing her back into the corner of the wall like she always does when she finishes her meal.Watching her has become a soothing pastime for her
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
