Combining the two Packs would boost my status which could then help with the election of Lycan King. Being in charge of such large packs would show everyone I can manage and rule, even with a human mate. My problem was that I don’t have a way to combine the packs other than the marriage. Neither m
Fiona His office has been empty all day. When I got to work this morning, Ethan was nowhere in sight, so I thought maybe he was coming in late. That was, until Ryan came to tell me Ethan wouldn’t be in today or tomorrow. He’d taken the days off to travel back home, which makes my stomach turn ev
“Fiona,” I say softly, stepping up to her side. I don’t want to scare her, but when she straightens the same stack of paper for the third time while mindlessly staring at her computer and moving with no purpose. The phone on her desk rings five times before she picks it up. “Mr. Montgomery’s off
Ethan Fuck. The last thing I need right now is for Fiona to disappear while I’m gone. “You should have told her where we were going,” my wolf says with an angry rumble while digging his claws into the veil between us. “I know,” I growl at him. I knew she wasn’t happy with me, so I didn’t want
It’s a familiar scent, one we’ve smelled many times, but each time we see her, it gets sweeter. After a minute, she pulls away and stands, giving me space to shift back to my human form. “Alpha. To what do I owe this pleasure?” Mr. Denton asks, bowing slightly in greeting. “Could we go inside?
Ethan Climbing into the rental car, I crank it up and tear out of the airport parking lot. The entire flight back, I thought about what Mr. Denton said, and he’s right. There’s nothing more important to me than Fiona. I will refuse this marriage for my mate. She’s the light in my life, and if my
“I’d like to say she’s okay, but she’s not. She didn’t quit, but I stayed in your office to keep an eye on her,” he says with a sigh. Mental images of Fiona crying at her desk, laying her head down, and working slowly with a faraway look in her eyes assault my brain. The image of her tears makes my
Fiona “I’m here for you,” he answers, but I step back, making his hand drop from my face. “Here for me?” I push down the hope that foolishly rises inside me. He wasn’t supposed to be back until tomorrow, but he’s here now. Ethan nods, his eyes roam from the top of my head down my body in a s
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
