"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
Penelope wondered how a man could smell so good just to sleep.She had been with a lot of men and majority were dirty, sweaty, and smelly. But Quinlan was different. He made his way into the room, smelling sweetly of his musk which was rather highly stimulating to Penelope's senses as if she was drunk.Quinlan didn't even utter a word as he took some pillows from the bed and threw them on the floor. He wasn't a man of many words."It is your turn to sleep on the bed tonight," Penelope looked at him through the mirror, from where she was combing her hair."There's no need for that." Quinlan was trying so hard to avoid letting his gaze linger on Penelope, because she was wearing black chemise, and looked sexy and slutty in it. Just giving off the typical whore energy when a woman desired to be fucked."What bad would it bring if we share the same bed? It's big and spacious enough for us." Penelope turned to face his back that was already to her, as he prepared his place to sleep."You s
Penelope was holding onto a Pilar to save herself from falling thirty feet down. She was thrown away like a toy to fall and die, and luckily, she caught the pillar in the process of falling.No one had any idea they would get attacked a few hours ago. The atmosphere was calm except for Cecile trying to stir up a banter."Penelope!" She heard Quinlan scream her name but she was too afraid to look down, frightened she would fall off because her grip on the pillar was loosening.On Quinlan's way to go save her, he was attacked by more men and he was still fighting and killing the ones that he could, but he could see Penelope struggling to put her feet on the balcony. She was swinging her body so her feet could reach the small parting between the balcony railings.Quinlan's mouth parted in amazement when she finally succeeded and it was at that moment he was hooked on the throat and lifted up by an eight-foot man because he was distracted for a second.Penelope shifted into her wolf and ra
Song for this chapter: Darkness At The Heart Of My Love - Ghost.Quinlan swerved when Alpha Bailey's wolf lunged at him and then he took notice of the savage Alpha's fangs and claws. They weren't ordinary like that of every werewolf, they were made of steel as if he had taken some antidote to make them venomous and sharp like closely packed, twisted knives…And so Quinlan calculated the pace made by Alpha Bailey because claw bruises or bites from his wolf could lead to death.Their wolves fought, slamming into walls and destroying the possessions in the chambers.Whilst Alpha Bailey's wolf was completely beastly, Quinlan's was just big and nothing more.But he was smart enough to dodge every claw bruise and attempted bite from Alpha Bailey, whilst everyone watched; with Alpha Kieran still chained to his bedpost, with his face puffy from the beatings and blood dripping from his hand that his fingers had been chopped off like mincemeat.Cecile was still trapped by the beast behind her,
Quinlan was cursing the entire time he stood at the seaport half an hour later. Men were stocking the ships with food and other necessities, they were to leave Easton Glasgow that night.Quinlan had no choice but to follow Alpha Kieran's order, whilst Penelope was being held aside for the time being. He didn't know if his Alpha would ever forgive her for speaking to him like that, in front of everyone. If only she had controlled her mouth and her emotions. Quinlan muttered under his breath and then clenched his fists. No doubt she had come to care for him in her own way, and tried to stand up for him even though it wasn't required. He was a man and he could speak for himself, but he could never disobey or say no to his Alpha. Penelope had not only surprised him but everyone inclusive. She was so fucking brave. He couldn't help but wonder how she got that mind she had. Majority of whores were known to be dumb but Penelope was too smart and sensitive for her own good. Quinlan wondered
"What do with have here, an awe-inspiring ceremony!" This inauspicious voice came with a flame of blue light, followed by the shadow of a big black wolf. And people backed away in horror."Sternberg, the black mad wolf," unlike everyone, Quinlan wasn't scared. He pushed Penelope right behind him so she couldn't see the malicious creature but she was already looking with enlarged pupils. She could recall when Ramsay told her about the cause of Kieran's blindness. Alpha Bailey who she had killed had taken an antidote that made his claws and fangs venomous."What in the seven hells…" "Shhhh," Quinlan clamped his hand against Penelope's mouth to refrain her from finishing her swearing."Happy thirty-first birthday, Kieran," the black wolf looked at Alpha Kieran and threw him a sinister smile.Fear was evident on the faces of everyone. Even Alpha Kieran seemed like he just had a shit in his pants, from where he was standing in front of his men.The shadow flew to Alpha Kieran's side and c
"Who would have thought your wife and my husband would dance together?" Cecile gestured at Penelope and Alpha Kieran who were together, smiling at one another as they did their traditional dance."Dancing is a normal thing that can happen between two people," Quinlan drummed his hands on the table. He was seated beside her."Aye, but we were lovers and now our spouses seem to enjoy each other's company," her smile didn't reach her eyes."I don't see anything wrong in that," Quinlan fought against the urge to frown."I'm beginning to think he's nursing feelings for her, with the way he looks at her," Cecile stroked her wine glass."You're reading wrong," Quinlan said."Penelope didn't just save you, she saved us all. If she hadn't shown up with that bow and arrow, Alpha Bailey would have killed you, then finish off my husband. I on the other hand would have been raped by his men and split into halves."Quinlan looked at Cecile, she seemed to be drinking and talking a lot that evening.
The annual Arrowhead ceremony wasn't just a yearly celebration of the day the Arrowhead was discovered centuries ago. It was also Alpha Kieran's birthday, so it was two events merged.The castle was decorated in a way it didn't look like it used to, swarming with people like buzzing bees around a honeycomb. They were from within and outside the Arrowhead pack who had come to join the merriment. Music was the order of the night and glasses of wine were going around in trays held by butlers and servants. There was a large, unending table that sat Alpha Kieran, his Luna, and several Alphas and noblemen from other packs. They were being served different courses of meal with under butlers and cupbearers moving around them.However, Quinlan had excused himself. He felt the rise in his pants once more and stood at a nearby wall, thinking about dead people and filthy places.A large-breasted blonde stopped in front of him and fluttered her fan, "I don't see your wife anywhere, I suppose she
"Let me guide you into standing, you needn't sit and let me do it," Penelope was yet to touch Quinlan. She had only traced her fingers and he was already getting hard even though it didn't feel right.He was blind and he was going to have his cock sucked by his contracted wife who was a former whore? The thought made him shiver a little."I am waiting, Quinlan."Quinlan rose on his feet and took four careful steps away from his seat."Is this okay?" He inquired, with heat crawling up to his cheeks."You needn't stress yourself, Quinlan. You can stand wherever you want. It's not your legs I'll be needing, but your dick to get mouth-fucked by me."Christ!How those words came out from that mouth of hers made him even harder.Penelope let her eyes follow the movement of his member as if she had taken lessons on how to suck men all of her life.Penelope would have liked to him fuck her, but she doubted he would. They were still strangers to their bodies. And she wouldn't dare pleasure hers
Two days later…"What would you do if the blindness stays?""I asked you to read to me, Eddard, not pop silly questions," Quinlan's tone was sharp and cutting, "just shut up if you're bored.""My apologies," the butler cleared his throat.Quinlan just stayed silent and reached for the glass of water at his side. Upon holding it, he decided against taking a drink from it.Frustration was what he felt as the voice of Eddard reading fades.It had been two days since his return to his castle and he could feel his bruises healing but he was still blind and useless. Couldn't do things by himself. Eddard had been to his aid, attending to him if need be, because he couldn't do things by himself. Aside from that, Penelope was ignoring him.He didn't like to admit it but he sort of missed her presence. She was a better off company than Eddard who was a constant pain in the ass.Quinlan could hear her laughter through the window. He was certain she was out in the gardens.Penelope's laughter was
"I'd like to return to our castle with my husband as he's still in the process of recuperation. He's blind and I don't know how long he'll stay that way. He hasn't even awoken from that bed of stones, and he cannot perform his duties as your Beta," Penelope had her hands clasped together in front of her as she made this request to Alpha Kieran.It was dawn and the arrowhead Alpha had made his presence known in the pack hospital, he came alone in a carriage to see Quinlan. And Penelope had met him outside upon seeing him through the window.Alpha Kieran took one good look at Penelope from where he was seated beside Quinlan who was still deep in sleep."I just came to see him, not have him return to the castle with me."Penelope gave him a firm nod and remained standing."You had a tough time getting him over here?" Alpha Kieran questioned Penelope, after surveying her blood-stained chemise that had a large part torn in front."What kind of a wife would I be, if I complain? Quinlan is m
Upon reaching the pack hospital, Penelope laid off Quinlan on the horse when she hopped off it. She didn't know if he was dead or alive. His pulse had thud faintly when she grabbed his wrist to check it and now, she fought against the urge and hardened her heart to not repeat the act.Because he might be truly dead. She didn't want to know until his body was checked up for proper confirmation.It was cold outside with the gust of wind making her hair fly over her face. No doubt there was going to be a storm at any time and the pack house hospital seemed a bit dead with no litten lamps or open windows as a sign that the healers were up and active. They had been gone for a few hours.The Wild pack had attacked in the dead of the night.Clenching her jaw, she neared the gates and pounded her small fists on them."Who's there?" Penelope heard the voice of a middle-aged man just before her banging could hit its third row."It's only me, a woman. I have an injured man that requires your ser
