"You don't look it,""I don't look what?""Like someone who can tend to someone's bruise. Permit me, Quinlan. But you appear like someone who was spoilt rotten,"Quinlan kept the spirited cotton on the table and then smirked at Penelope. They were inside the castle, on his balcony with his parents long gone since they had seen how persistent he was in letting Penelope go. His actions proved that he was serious with her and they had no choice but to take a bawling Felicity along with them."Having wealth doesn't make me unskilled and tactless. I was trained to be a gentleman." Quinlan said quietly."May I know why you pulled up such an act earlier? Your parents very much wanted you to marry Lady Felicity. Even Felicity herself was quite elated." Penelope didn't look away from him as she made this statement."I don't want her.""You mean you don't want to fall in love with someone else who reminds you of Cecile?" Penelope raised a brow and placed her hand on top of the table.Quinlan ra
It was late evening and Quinlan had his eyes fixed elsewhere the whole time Penelope dressed in one of his fine clothes.He wasn't supposed to remain there after giving her his clothes, somehow his feet had refused to move and carry him out of his room. Odd, wasn't it?Of course, Penelope laughed at him and asked him to turn around because she was ashamed of nothing. He pondered if she wanted to use this as a means to seduce him.He couldn't bring himself to look at any naked woman.Call him stupid but it felt like he would betray Cecile if he did. It didn't matter if she was married to Alpha Kieran or not. Speaking of his Alpha, he was to return to him on the morrow. Only the gods knew how he would be able to retain his composure, he would live in the same castle with Cecile. The lover who betrayed him."I'm all set, Quinlan. You can turn around now," Penelope's voice sounded muffled, it was as if she had something stuffed in her mouth though. Quinlan couldn't believe her. What if sh
Quinlan felt out of place the whole time the wolf dance was taking place. It wasn't even a wolf dance, it was just people fucking everywhere.He wondered why he even agreed to come. He had never attended such before, where people did all the unspeakable things in the world. Although he knew if there wasn't any lady like Penelope in his life, he wouldn't be there. He spent such hours reading to broaden his mind or devising a plan since Alpha Kieran would seek his advice in handling the Arrowhead's pack.He looked at Penelope who had taken her mask off and was pretending to observe naked girls that walked by with the aid stick held like a proper gentleman, as she carried on as if she/he was surveying her choices of girls.It was amusing that he almost laughed.Christ, people were fucking everywhere he turned. Even a few of the instrumentalists had paused to have their dick sucked, or eating out of women's pussy. Without even the slightest shame in the world, they made it seem as though
"Lady Odwolf?" Eddard Gallagher was puzzled when he found a groaning Penelope staggering with a snoring Quinlan into the castle."Don't just stand there! Do something!" An exasperated Penelope commanded in a stern voice, it was taking everything within her to not collapse on the ground with Quinlan. They had walked three miles down to the Odwolf castle. Which was rather exhausting to the bone."I knew it from the onset!" Eddard pumped his fist into his palm before jerking his finger at Penelope, from the balcony, "you, my lady, impersonated this non-existent Marcus Riverdale. I'm a bit baffled why you dressed up as a man. And what's more perplexing is the fact that Lord Quinlan has a hand in this." He concluded, giving out a slight shoulder shrug."Eddard!" Penelope yelled his name through clenched teeth before glowering so hard at him, "come give me a hand before I forget my shoe on your face.""Coming, my lady." He was running down the stairs when he paused and squinted, holding ont
"Promise you'll never leave,""How about we just stay together for as long as possible?" The blurry-faced girl tipped her head to look at him, before pulling away from the hug, taking a step backward from the seashore, and stepping into the sea."Promises are meant to be broken, Quinlan," she added with a low sigh before rubbing the side of her arm as she stopped when the water reached her waist.Her response was like a stab in his gut."Are you planning to leave sometime in the future because you're beginning to develop cold feet?" He inquired, looking hurt. And as if to mirror his emotions that were tremulous inside of him, it began raining."We were meant to be only for a short period of time," came the response that literally pierced through his heart.Panting as the rain poured heavy droplets upon him, he put his hand on his forehead and raised his head to look at the sun that was pumping excessive heat, in spite of the heavy downpour. It was bizarre how it shone so much despite
"It's good to have you back, Quinlan," Cecile uttered just as Quinlan hopped off the carriage. She was on the balcony of the second floor, having a stylist take her measurements with her arms spread wide, and a beautiful face with a smile. She looked satisfied to see him."Thank you, my lady," Quinlan forced a smile and bowed swiftly, before handing his bag to the butler."And how is your wife, Lady Penelope?" Cecile asked."Very well, she sent her greetings," Quinlan lied, although Penelope never did."Can I have a word with you, Quinlan?" Cecile asked through a squint, before keeping her hands down and stepping forward to hold the balcony railings."Of course," Quinlan responded and took the stairs up to meet with her. He tried as much as he could to not get affected by her appearance, but she was beautiful as always. "My lady?" He called out when he reached the top."Leave," Cecile ordered the stylist who immediately bowed and obliged."How have you been, Quinlan?" The way her lash
Penelope whistled at the Grand entrance of the Alpha's castle which was twice the size of Quinlan's castle. In two days her entire life had turned around because whores like herself weren't allowed into the Alpha's castle just like that, except there was a ball or the annual Arrowhead Ceremony.She smiled at the butler who came to help her out of the carriage, and she still maintained the same expression as the servants bowed at her. She wasn't just married to Quinlan, she was now Beta's wife. Alpha Kieran sought her presence at his castle barely two hours after Quinlan left. She was led to the second hall to meet with Alpha Kieran and Cecile."Why didn't you tell me you were inviting her over?" "Quinlan looked a little lonely, I figured he needed her company because they only just had a day together after their marriage.""You shouldn't have sought her presence, Quinlan can manage fine on his own.""What business does this have to do with you, Cecile? Do you feel this much concern?
"So, Penelope, how did you meet with Quinlan?" Alpha Kieran asked when they sat at the table to dine that evening.Quinlan and Quinlan exchanged a look and Quinlan nodded as if giving her a go-ahead to come up with the lies she would cook up in her mind and had intentions of spilling."Well, should I say love at first fuck?" Alpha Kieran choked on the wine he was drinking and spat it out across the table.And Cecile had her mouth widened in horror, with her hand clenching her fork.Whilst Quinlan just clenched his jaw because Penelope had started to disgrace him once more."My apologies for using such a vulgar word, Alpha Kieran, my Luna," Penelope had sensed the uneasiness in the air at this. "It's alright, carry on. I've never had any lady speak like that in my presence. I must say I admire your courage," the corners of Alpha Kieran's mouth curved upward and Cecile looked at her husband in disbelief."At least she should have some manners. This isn't the pleasure house where she c
