Ryan“Beta Ryan, welcome,” Sophie’s grandmother, Healer Sarina, says as I enter the high-level hospital room. She bows in respect before going back to the machine at Ethan’s side.“How is he?” I need to know, but at the same time, this hollow fear sits in my chest. If they tell me Ethan won’t make i
A groan and huff of breath sound from behind me, and I spin around. Another groan stutters from Ethan’s mouth as he barely shifts on the hospital bed. I move to his side, taking his hand and waiting.Then, Ethan’s eyes slowly open and focus directly on me. His pupils are blown wide, but he looks rig
Fiona“You’ll wear a hole in the floor if you keep going like this,” Mr. Denton says while taking a sip of his coffee.Turning, I pace back in the other direction, my feet carrying me more than my mind. I can’t stop, though. It’s the only thing that keeps me from exploding from the worry.“I should’

“Sarina is on first watch, but she has a few other patients to check on. Are you okay to stay in here by yourself?”Nodding, I rub at my eyes again. “I’m fine. You’ve been working hard too, so don’t worry about me,” I tell her, not wanting to keep them longer than they need to be here. “I’ll call if
Fiona“Pick up. Pick up. Pick up,” I mutter as the phone rings. My eyes bounce to the clock, and I curse. If Ryan doesn’t answer, I’m going to hit him the next time I see him.“Fiona, is something wrong?”“Yes! Why didn’t you answer sooner?!” I hiss, glancing at the door. I’m not sure if Ethan’s fat
Fiona“Keep yourself safe.” Lurching up, I whip my head to Ethan. He still lays there, unmoving and pale, but I could’ve sworn he spoke to me.“Ethan?”He doesn’t move, and I scramble out of bed, nearly falling as I rush to his side.“Ethan?!” My voice cracks as I lay a hand on his chest. “Please,
“Let me see,” Healer Farah says, and I pass the old book to her. I watch as all three of them hover over the page and as they smile. Though, it doesn’t last long. One by one, their smiles drop.“What is it? Am I wrong?” I was sure this was it. If they say I’m wrong, I don’t know what I’ll do. We’ll

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,
