Fiona “Where are we going?” I ask for what feels like the millionth time. We’ve been driving for almost an hour, and not knowing is going to drive me crazy. So, I grab his arm, shaking it as Ethan turns onto another unknown road. “Come on, please tell me,” I beg, my eyes bouncing from him to the
Ethan waves him off, and Ryan nods, taking a few steps back. “We’re going to a southern island where we can spend time quietly together without any worries. It’s a small island with very few tourists, so we’ll have plenty of space and time to relax without other people bothering us. So, Fiona, do
Fiona The sun shines brightly against the clear blue ocean, and I just stare. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen, so much so that I can’t take my eyes off of it. Somewhere behind me, Ethan is rolling our luggage in, but the moment I saw the large windows overlooking the ocean, I ran ove
“So, exactly how good are your senses? How far away can you hear or smell? Wait, is that a question I can ask?” I ask as we reach the water. It laps against the sand, making the grains slightly squishy to the touch. The water washes over my feet as we walk along the shoreline, and I let the warmth s

“Wait, Jessica did wh—” “That’s the problem,” I cry. “You don’t even know that I almost died and here you are complaining that your ridiculous wife has been cheating on you. Well, Dad, you reap what you sew, and with the way you treated Mom before she died, I say you’re getting exactly what you gav
Fiona Falling apart in Ethan’s arms is easy. Too easy, honestly. The warmth he provides naturally makes me want to sink into him and forget everything that’s around us. The weight of his arms around me increases the sense of security, letting me know nothing could breach his protection. His whisper

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
