Ryan listens to whoever is speaking on the other end of the phone before hanging up. “I’ve got to go. An emergency popped up at the company that I need to return to deal with. You go on inside. Take tomorrow to rest and prepare for your date with Ethan. I’ll come get you when its time to go meet h
Ethan I enter the dim building, the scent of wolves surrounding me. Since there are no pack lands here in the East like there are in the West, we had to agree on a location to hold the challenge in, which ended up being this empty warehouse. Ryan gave me the information about the building- it is
A pained howl breaks through the loud shouts from the crowd. Some of the shouts are angry, coming from the Bluemoon Pack members that came with Jameson, and others are excited, urging us to keep going. To fight more. Jameson growls from my hold, kicking one of his paws toward my face. Using my b
Fiona “How long until we until we get there?” “Is it far?” “Are we almost there?” I badger the man with questions while wringing my fingers in the hem of my shirt. He provides only short, vague answers to my questions, which makes me more nervous. My bottom lip hurts from where I’ve dug my
There are measures in place for times like this. I don’t believe Ethan would risk his life by hiding in some dingy warehouse instead of calling an ambulance like a normal person. He’s smarter than that. The pain in my head turns from a slight ache to a throb, pulsing in my temples and behind my ey
Fiona I gasp for air as the kidnapper’s shoulder digs into my stomach. After throwing me over his shoulder, he entered the run-down building. Outisde, it was quiet and dark, but inside, the further we walk into the building, the louder the noises become. A man yelling, loud snarls, and shoutin
“This is your only chance to walk away,” Ethan announces. The ten men that surround Ethan close in on him, ignoring the threat he’d just given them. My nerves and confusion rachet up, and I want to yell at him, to scream for him to run. There’s no possible way he can fight all ten of those guys an
Fiona Horror floods my body as Ethan fights. His fist slams into another man’s face, knocking that man to the ground, but then another man jumps in. And another. They come in waves, and he’s lucky they aren’t all attacking at the same time. It seems to be a pattern, with three men from each side
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
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
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
