Ethan The door clicks shut behind me before I quietly make my way down the hall. “We should stay with our mate,” my wolf grumbles, annoyed that she’s napping while we leave. “Thought you wanted to find the person who tried to kill her,” I retort. He growls, baring his teeth. “Of course, I do
Nodding, I flip to the next page of the report, which has images of two different doorknobs attached to the paper. I study them but can’t tell what the importance is. “Oh, these are interesting, E,” Jason says, pointing to the key slots. “Whoever did this, took time to break some sort of metal, pr
Fiona “Fiona Aldridge?” I turn, finding the owner of the light, questioning voice. A petite dark-haired woman watches me with curious eyes and a smile. “Yes,” I answer, feeding another paper into the copier. Even though she looks slightly familiar, I don’t believe I’ve met her. Or at lease, I
It’s cute. “Come here,” I mutter with a little laugh while turning the chair, grabbing him by the tie, and pulling him closer. I brush my fingers through his hair, fixing the mess he created and kissing his forehead. “Thank you,” he says before standing and adding, “We’re about to have guests.”

Ethan “I’ll have dinner done by the time you get here,” Fiona says, her voice coming through the speakers in my car. It’s been two days since she came into my office and curled up in my lap, smelling of sadness and confusion. She’d been quiet since then, but it wasn’t a negative quiet. I could a
I try to block out the scent of her disappointment as I walk upstairs and to my office. My computer sits ready and waiting on my desk, and when I sit behind it, I sigh. With the press of a button, the computer comes alive. Like it knows what I want, the video call icon blips onto the screen. I giv

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
