“I’m not an invalid, Ryan,” I mutter as he sets me down in front of the door.“Sorry. I just… Will you be okay?” He asks, the hesitant and worried tone softening me.“I’ll be fine.”He looks me up and down for what seems like the millionth time, so I pat his arm. The dark bags under his eyes tell me
FionaTwo days turned into four days, and now he’s back.I watch him through the window as Ethan talks on the phone with someone. When I came into the office an hour ago, he was sitting behind his desk. I thought he would call me or at least let me know he was back, but I was incredibly surprised wh
I hope so. She deserves to be punished, and over the last few days, I’ve thought about going to the police since no one around here seems to be doing anything. If Ryan could find the video, I’m sure they could too, and I could also have them talk to the doctor who treated me.There is plenty of evid
FionaNot today.“I’m sorry,” Patrice mutters as she steps off the elevator. I still haven’t been able to talk to Ethan since he came back from lunch with Angela. Thankfully, she wasn’t with him, but from the calm demeanor he gave off, I’m not sure if he handled the situation.I thought he might inv
“For two or three weeks. We have pictures of the previous ones. There have been more than five, and this one came today. It’s something I thought I lost almost two weeks ago,” I inform them, pushing the box forward. I try not to feel embarrassed that these random men will see my bra, but if it helps

Jessica sits still until Mr. Adair asks her again.“Jack convinced me that the only way for us to keep the money and to be free from Fiona’s trouble was to get rid of her.”“How so?”Jessica swallows and takes a deep breath, “By killing her.” Mr. Adair motions for her to continue, and she does, spil
FionaShe’s here again, batting her eyelashes and hanging on his arm. Her perfectly curled hair and tight pencil skirt helping her show off her assets disgust me. Ethan continues typing on his keyboard, saying something to Angela occasionally, but she’s the main one talking.I hold my breath when sh
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

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
