FionaâWhat is it this tââAngela storms out of Ethanâs office, grabs me by the shoulders, and shoves me back. My back slams into the filing cabinet as I fall backwards, sending a wave of sharp, hot pain through my body. I gasp, taking deep breaths to try to chase away the ache while staring up at A
Ryan rushes forward, shoves Angela aside, and crouches in front of me. His eyes land on my neck then on my wrist where Angela had been squeezing me. An angry rumble vibrates from Ryanâs body, and I briefly have the thought that it should be Ethan here keeping me safe, not his friend.Not that Iâm up
Ethan âYOU DID WHAT?!â My father roars as my mother stares wide-eyed at me. Her jaw drops open, small gasping sounds escaping, but she says nothing. Too shocked, I guess.âYou let a human be the reason you were disqualified?â My brotherâs bored tone says from behind me, and I turn, glaring at him.
It would be nice if their concern came from a place of worry, but the fact that it comes from a place of ignorance and bigotry just makes me angry.âWhy do they not understand?â My wolf asks with a growl. âYou would think that two mated Lycans would understand the desire to be with their mate.âI in

The sun sinks closer to the horizon, and an unfamiliar howl sounds somewhere behind me. The great water is nowhere near our land, I realize as I look at it. Thereâs a good two-hundred miles between Silverclaw Pack lands and the ocean, but I canât find it in myself to care that Iâm on unfamiliar land
FionaâEthan is coming back,â Ryan announces, crouching beside me as I sit at my desk. I try not to look at him and try not to feel relieved. Why should I feel relieved? Itâs not like Ethan will do anything. He hasnât so far, so why start now?I would love for Ethan to come back, take charge, and pu
FionaIce cream solves everythingâĶ or at least thatâs what I tell myself as I peek out of my bedroom door. I look left and right, and smile when thereâs no sign of Isla.My craving for chocolatey goodness pushes me to tiptoe down the hallway, careful to stay quiet. I donât want to bother Isla becaus
Fiona POVâYou look gorgeous,â 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 didnât find my dress, but after one visit to my mother, she had the perfect solution.âYou 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 itâs not enough.Honestly, I wasnât sure what to bring. Ethan said it is a gift of thanks and that
Fiona POVâHe should be here any minute,â 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.âIâve never seen Ethan so angry,â 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 Ethanâs 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 POVâIs everyone ready?âTension 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 theyâre right, then sheâs with Alpha Thrange of the Whiteclaw Pack.âWeâre almost ready,â Alpha Mandra says, g

However, if Fiona does happen to be in one of the two packs the scouts mentioned, weâll be able to get in and get out without alerting them. I donât want to lose this chance to search for Fiona. It could be my only chance to do so without violence.âWhich 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 canât move my arms.Looking around, I find my wrists trapped in heavy chains. I follow the chains to the wall, n
