Ethan“What’s wrong with you?” Laxus, my number one Gamma, asks, eyeing me. He’s been training with me for the last two days, and I know he’s noticed. Everyone probably has. No matter how hard I try to hide it, there’s something wrong.My skin feels tight over my entire body. The pain ripping down m
Red seeps deeper into my vision, taking over like it has several times in the last few days. As if sensing the change, Laxus looks back over his shoulder and his eyes widen.The man continues, pulling my attention back to him as he speaks, “Not that either of you deserves the title of Alpha, especia
Fiona“Thank goodness there’s an index because I wouldn’t know where to start if there wasn’t,” I mumble to myself. I flip to page seventy-two and find a second recipe for anti-nausea tea. I write down the recipe in my notebook.“Do you think you have enough?” Isla asks skeptically as she peers over
“Like black market?” I whisper, glancing around me. Isla perks up at that and gives me a questioning look.“No.” Sophie laughs. “It’s not illegal. It’s just a little something that a few of the Western immigrants set up to sell to those of us who are over here temporarily so we don’t miss home too m
EthanRolling my neck and breathing through the funk I’m in, I follow Laxus out of the tent and to the arena. Shouts and screams cheer fighters on, calling for them to beat the shit out of each other. I wasn’t the first fight of the day, which was probably good after the episode I had earlier.“Zev,
Ethan growls down at the struggling wolf, and Laxus leans against the gate, watching his Alpha closely. The murderous rage doesn’t fall away, instead Laxus realizes, as his Alpha lifts his claw-tipped fingers, that it’s grown.“Alpha! He’s down!” Laxus shouts, hoping it’ll pierce the feral haze. Thi
EthanA metallic taste fills my mouth, and I cough, stumbling back. Four paws melt into two feet as my vision clears.Suddenly, before I can process what’s happening, a slew of scents and sounds assault me. A man yells something before he grabs my arm and thrusts it into the air. Screams mix with ex
“One more fight,” Laxus says while passing me a bottle of water. “I noticed something in this last fight that might help you keep control.”I whip my head up, “What was it? I can feel myself slipping, like there’s some kind of tether pulling me toward that dark aggression, so anything could help.”“
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
