Ending the call, I groan. Next week’s Lyran King meeting has been moord.
already been stressful enough with Fiona being less than fifteen feet away, my welt how in my heery ve send and the cancellation of the blood shipment to the children’s hospital
Add on the disagreements from the Brewer Group on the cost of the supplies for the new wing of the bongea, and we have a diunster of a week.
I thought it was over, but now I have to deal with Alphas and Elders sooner than I planned
“Fiona.”
When she doesn’t answer, I look up to find her desk empty. The clock reads 5:18 PM
“Find her,” my wolf pushes,
“Alpha, there’s a problem in the lobby,” my Beta says though our mind link
What is it?”
“Angela is trying to humiliate Fiona in front of everyone. I tried to calm Angela down, but she’s demanding to know why Fiona was given the position as your secretary,” he says
“On my way,” I grow! If it weren’t for my father asking me to give Angela a position in the company, she wouldn’t be here My father and her father are close friends, so I didn’t have much of a choice but to please my father’s with this demand
When I finally reach the lobby, Ryan is standing at Fiona’s side as Angela yell at her
“You’ve done nothing to get this position! I ask again, what did you do to convince Ethan to give you this job
I’d known she wanted to work closer with me, like many women in the company, but Angela thinki the has more power than she does. Just because her father and my father got her this job, she thinks she’ll climb her way up, but it’s not happening. I put her where she is, and she barely deserves to be there
“Angela”
Her head whips up at my voice, and the immediately changes. She flutters her eyelashes and slinks over like she wants to curl up to my side. I dodge her advances and move to Ryan’s uide I don’t want to get too close to Fiona, per her request.
“Fiona comes highly recommended to me, Angela, so I don’t see how her being hired is any of your business,” I say, pinning my eyes on Angela. She shrinks back a bit at the Alpha tone I slip into my voice
I notice Fiona shift on her feet, but I keep my eyes on the woman in front of me
“Little witch my wolf growls, angry that Angela had hurt Fiona
“Al- Mr. Montgomery, I was merely testing Fiona to see if she was worthy to be your secretary,” Angela says.
“I didn’t realize you had become the CEO
She flinches and lowers her head in submission at my words.
“Go home, all of you,” I order. “I don’t want to see you treating your coworkers with disrespect again.”

The room clears almost immediately, leaving me and Ethan alone. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the company clear so quickly.
“Would you like to get dinner?”
“Dinner?” I ask, looking up at him. I clench my shaking hands at my side and nod. “Dinner would be nice.”
The drive to Ethan’s house is silent like usual. I want to thank him for standing up for me, but he gets a phone call.
Whoever is on the other end of the call must be important because Ethan gets more and more tense as the call goes on. His responses are short and quick. He calls the man sir and then tells the man they will discuss whatever they’re talking about more when they meet in person
“You okay?” I ask after he hangs up.
“My father will be visiting soon.” Is all he says before running a hand through his flawless hair. The usual put together look is mussed when he pulls his hand away, letting some of it flop lazily over his forehead.
With a sigh. Ethan parks and climbs out of the car. I follow his lead, and we make our way inside to find a table full of food ready. He must’ve told his staff we were coming for dinner.
Dinner is silent, other than a few moments of small talk back and forth, and I can tell he’s stressed. He rigid way he sits, the way he pushes his food around his plate, the right grip he has on his fork- it all tells me he needs some stress relief.
And if I can offer that, I will.
and and hold out my i
Immediately. Ethan droge his fork and before I can blink, Fm in his arms, and we’re halfway up the stairs to his room.
Within minutes. I’m on my back on his bed with Ethan hovering over me
His lips find mine in a hard, botkin, and I moan when his fingers find my hips, gripping me

Ethan travels down, nipping at my neck and shoulder as he unbutton and pushes my blouse off When his eyes find the white lace bra, he growls and leans its licking sking, and sing at my breasts. I gap then mean when his lips close around my nipple.
“Ethan!”
He doesn’t stop and my vision swirls with stars and pleasure when his fingers find my center. I kick my pants off, bucking my hips when his thumb circles my chat. Fire bu through my veins as he slides two fingers into me making me cry out
and clutch his shoulders.
“I need you” Ethan grans.
“Take me. Please,” 1 beg, lifting my hips to relieve the pressure building in my center.
Ethan’s eyes find mine for a second before he fully undresses and crawls over me, his body warm against mine, and I groan hiting my hips again.
Lips find mine again, and he swallows my cry of pleasure as he enters me
“That’s it. Fiona. So ready for me,” he growl, surging into me. I cry out, letting him have control as he takes what he needs
hat I want.
A growl vibrates between us as he shifts and tips me over. Suddenly on my hands and knees. I gasp when the pleasure bald and height. He pounds into me from behind, teeth scraping against my shoulder. The small aches of pleasure 1

feel from his teeth make me shake.
Light circles around my clit send me over the edge, and I grip the sheets, my head falling forward, my skin tingling, and my vision blurring as it finally swells and shatters
Panting, we both crumple to the bed in a puddle of sweat and sex, letting sleep pull us under and consume us.
Groaning. I roll over and block the light from my eyes.
“Ethan‘”
When I get no response, I peek at his side of the bed to find it empty. I listen for the shower water but when I hear nothing. I sit up. Hart fills my chest with the realization that he left me in his bed without waking me or letting me know he was leaving
I thought maybe after helping him out last night he’d at least have breakfast or something, but he left me like a used toy he was finished with.
Our relationship isn’t exactly normal, but he could’ve left a note or something.
Biting my lip. I quickly climb out of bed and get dressed. I can’t sit around feeling sorry for myself because I technically did give him permission to use me for sex.
With a shake of my head, I gather my things and leave the house as quietly as possible so I don’t run into any staff.
Once I’m outside, I begin walking in the direction of my house. I’ll call Isla to come get me once I’m further away. now, I pull out my phone and dial my dad’s number.
but for
It rings three times before he answers.
“Fiona, to what do I owe this call?” He asks, sounding surprised.
“Hi, Dad. I wanted to talk with you about Mom’s will. My lawyer said he needs you to come in and sign a testimony that the will from the official hearing is the correct one,” I tell him, stepping over a crack in the sidewalk.
“Now, Fiona,” he starts. “You know how busy I am with work.”
Seriously?
“It wouldn’t take much time,” I tell him, dodging a couple walking their dog. “I can probably get the lawyer to even come to you so you wouldn’t have to take the time to drive to the firm.”
He sighs, and I hear something shuffling on the other end of the phone.
“I’m sorry, Fiona. I can’t make time for it right now.”
“Why not? You can’t spare five minutes to sign a paper, Dad? Why are you acting like this isn’t important?” I shout as anger builds in me. “You know this is the right will, and you still won’t help me?!”
–
“No amount of whining will change my mind, Fiona. Now that’s the end of it.”
He hangs up with no room for me to speak, and I stare at my phone. What the..
Realization hits me. and 1 stagger.
He’s the one who swapped the will.
