Dancing With Fate Chapter 43
Derek POVI wake up with my arms suspended above my head. Pain like I've never experienced before takes over me. I attempt to reach out to my wolf, but all I get is static. Wherever I am, it has muted my wolf, making it impossible for me to heal. I try to lift my head to figure out my surroundings. It takes a minute to realize that I am not in a room, but a cave. The air smells of mildew and body odor. My arms are suspended with a chain nailed in with a metal bar to the cave’s rock wall. Across the cave I see a smoldering fire with a large pot above it, reminding me of a cauldron. I take in my appearance as much as I can. I am buck naked as the day I was born. I internally curse, immediately noticing the cool temperatures in the cave. I startle when a gravelly voice echoes through the cave. “Oh joy, you are awake.” The woman’s voice sounded like she smoked 1,000 cigarettes. Across the cave, I see an older woman walking with a limp to me. As the figure gets closer I start to see how

Quinn POVIt takes the doctor only a couple of minutes to rush Sam into another hospital room. My mind is feeling dizzy from my panic. Derek has been taken by someone who is supposed to be dead.Sam was unable to give us any more information before he passed out from his injuries. I try to reach out to my bond with Derek but all I get is silence and a sense of dread. The feeling only intensifies as I breathe. I begin to choke, my breath feeling like it is being taken away from me. “Quinn, Quinn what’s happening!” I hear the panicked voice of Mandy. I claw at my throat trying to remove whatever is taking my air away. Just as my vision begins to tunnel, the vice around my throat vanishes. I gasp as I try to catch my breath. Sucking in as much oxygen as possible. I feel my mother’s hand rub my back as my breathing starts to regulate. “What just happened?” I croak out. “I think it was your bond.” Rachel says matter-of-factly. My eyes widen at her words, knowing that she is right. I

Quinn POVMy body felt like I was on autopilot as I got discharged from the pack hospital and headed home. I continued to reach out for my bond but got nothing in return. The silence was maddening. I felt Seline whimper and pace in my head, also feeling uneasy at our missing bond. ‘We will find him, Seline.’ I tried to soothe her. All she was able to respond with was a whimper and cry. The sound made my heart sink into my stomach. After we got back to the pack house, Kat had put a shield up around the property adding an extra layer of protection. Thomas and my mother were in his office finalizing the plans for the alliance ceremony with Anna’s beta, Aaron. The ceremony was planned to happen tomorrow. My father was speaking to Ryan to fill him in the best he could about what was happening. It was decided that my family would stay in the guest house on the back side of the property while Rachel and Frederick stayed in one of the guest rooms. Elan was working heavily with Sam on a task

Anna POV18 Years Ago:Alpha Deccan was one of the most powerful alliances my pack had. Up until this point I never had to worry about any problems with him. My father always had a great relationship so that passed it down to me. I wasn’t worried about the alpha meeting with all of the surrounding alphas until it dawned on me, Rowan was Deccan’s brother. They had an estranged relationship due to drug trafficking; However, blood was blood.I remember when I was a young girl that my father had stressed to me to never be on Deccan’s bad side as his power was unlike any other werewolf. He was known to be able to demolish his enemies in minutes with no effort at all. His mate was a powerful witch. When she died it had weakened his human form but strengthened his wolf. Every time he shifted; he risked not being able to transition back to his human form as it fueled his wolf’s power.Anxiety and worry filled me as Dean took a seat in the row in front of me. I didn’t want to cause any more is

Quinn POVThe next morning, I was plagued with anxiety. After a restless sleep last night, the last thing I am prepared for is standing in front of both packs with their curious stares. I groan as I get out of the comfort of my bed and try to find something presentable. I decided jeans, a long-sleeved black shirt and boots will do.Walking out of my bedroom I am met with the beaming smile of Ryan with his trusty dinosaur friend Charles in his hand. I brought him in for a hug. I breathe in his scent which is both familiar and reassuring. However, I can’t help but feel an ache in my chest for the one scent I crave and need. “Hey buddy, how did you sleep?” I let go of him and started heading down the stairs where everyone was waiting for me already. Ryan shrugged. The action seemed a little off. “You, okay?” I turned to face him with a concerned look. “You look sad…and I don’t like it.” he looked down at his shuffling feet. He was too observant sometimes. I wrapped my arms around him

QUINN POVI quickly shifted into my wolf not caring that I shredded my clothes in the process. I let Seline drive while I went to the back of my mind, terror mixed with anger seeped into my soul. I hated how much Thomas looked like his father and in turn how much I looked like Thomas. It made me want to try to wash a phantom stain that was in my DNA. ‘Don’t think like that’ Seline scolded. ‘You are nothing like that man and neither is Thomas.’ I didn’t respond. Unsure what to say. I couldn’t help how I felt. Meeting Rowan gave me an insecurity that I couldn’t fathom. I felt the wind blow through my fur and the soft soil beneath my paws. Shifting had soothed a little bit of my rage. He knew where Derek was, and I refused to live any life without my mate. Seline got us to the packhouse in record time where several pack members and my parents were talking. “We need to talk.” I sent the mind link to my mother. Thomas must have seen me coming and brought outside a robe. A concerned look

Quinn POVRachel and Mandy jolted awake at my scream. “No! No! No! No!” I cried! They were going to kill him. I felt the sapphire necklace warm. That was odd. It felt like my power was feeding into the stone. Kat and Thomas ran into the living room, both in their pajamas. Circling the couch, Kat kneeled in front of me and placed her hands on my cheeks. Warmth spread through her palms while her eyes glowed red. Her power soothed some of my agony. She looked up at Thomas with a concerned look. “She saw Derek. He was being tortured by…” She paused, a concerned look on her face. “Your mother.” She let go of my cheeks but remained kneeling in front of me. “I’ll kill that son of a bitch for hurting my boy!” Sam roared, over hearing what Kat said as he entered the room in only his gym shorts. His eyes flashed to those of his wolf, fighting the urge not to shift. Thomas placed his hands on his Beta’s shoulders. “Calm down Sam.”“I’ve been pretty damn calm Thomas! And now I hear he’s bei

—Quinn POVBy morning, the trackers were able to narrow down where Derek was. Now it was time for me, Fred, Elan, and Rachel to rescue my mate while Sam, Kat, and Mandy would be on standby if anything were to happen. Thomas would stay at the pack house with my parents and would work on a battle plan and arrange a meeting with all the surrounding pack leaders.After I woke up screaming, I wasn’t able to go back to sleep. I felt sluggish and a little feverish. I chalked it down to stress and no sleep. Serina was quieter than usual. Even she seemed sluggish and lethargic. As I followed Fred, Rachel, and Elan out the door, my mother stopped me.“Quinn, honey?” I turned to face her. A worried expression took over her beautiful face. She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my body, squeezing tight. “Please be careful.” She kissed my temple. I gave her a quick nod. “I will be fine mom. I love you.”Saving our shifter strength, we stayed in our human forms as we walked to the moun

Dancing With Fate Epilogue
EPILOGUE 8 YEARS LATER:“Momma, I want to go see uncle Ryan!” Ellie groaned. She stomped her pink-glitter converse into the gravel of the driveway. I continued to buckle Pryor into his car seat. I sighed and looked down at my baby boy who had a big gummy smile on his face. I kissed the tip of his nose before closing the car door. “Ellisse, how many times do I need to go over this with you?” She crossed her arms and looked so much like myself, I almost wanted to take a picture of it. Ellie groaned again and looked up at the sky. “I just don’t understand why I have to go with you to get grandpa.”’I squatted down in front of her. Trying to level with an eight year old was not easy. I straightened her jacket. “We will be quick honey. I know you are excited to see Uncle Ryan on his special day, but Great Grampa wants to be there too.” “I want to see uncle Ryan, but I want to see Rykerrrrr” She growled. Ryker was Mandy and Elan’s son who was a year younger than Ellisse. She was transfix

Six Weeks LaterQUINN POVFinally getting Ellie to sleep, I flopped down on the bed. I clutched my breasts and hissed as they were sore from my crotch goblin using them as her feeding bags.Derek walked out of the bathroom, a towel low on his hips. My eyes trailed down his toned abs down to his v line where the towel was. A clearing of the throat from Derek made me snap out of the day dreaming I was in. He scratched the back of his neck. “You know, Instead of looking at me like a snack, I can give you a treat,” a smirk went across his face.I blushed. My hormones were all over the place after having Ellie. One minute I wanted to fuck, the next I wanted to sleep or cry. I don’t know how Derek was keeping it together with my 17 personalities.I perched myself on my elbows and gave him a “come here” motion with my pointer finger. “Quinn don’t tease!” Derek pouted “I’m not teasing, come here,” I said with a small smile on my face. Without wasting another second Derek dropped his towel

9 MONTHS LATER:POV Quinn “One more push Quinn. She’s almost here.” The nurse encouraged me. I squeezed Derek’s hand once more, making him wince. He had been warned not to look over the curtain and sure enough, as our baby girl was getting pulled out of me, he looked and began to sway on his feet. “Will someone please bring our King a wet compress.” The nurse between my legs instructed. She looked up at me. “One more push Quinn.”I shook my head. “I can’t.” I cried. Derek was able to pull himself together and pressed a kiss to my sweaty temple. “You can do it, baby.” Derek encouraged me. I screamed as I gave my last push, giving everything I had left in me. The equipment and lights moved and flickered at my scream. No one in the room flinched when they heard my scream. Instead they carried on like I wasn’t an octave away from blowing eardrums out. I heard my baby girl’s wail as she entered this world. My body sagged from the immediate relief of being down with pushing. I looked

6 months Later:POV Quinn “Ryan, come on! Breakfast is ready!” I called up the stairs. I was beginning to lose my patience with this boy. My once fun, loving, well-behaved younger brother, was now going through a terrible rebellious stage. Ryan stomped his way down the main stair-case of the packhouse. I rolled my eyes at his overdramatized walking. “You’re going to be late for school.”“So?” Ryan grumbled as he walked to the kitchen. “SO… It doesn't look good for the future alpha to be missing school or being late. You need to show the pack that you are reliable.” I internally cringed at my words. Ryan simply rolled his eyes and continued to go into the kitchen and sit on one of the stools at the island. I placed a heaping stake of chocolate chip pancakes in front of him. “I made your favorite.” “Thanks,” Ryan grumbled as he shoved a large piece of pancake in his mouth. Currently we were staying in my childhood pack house with the Red Night Pack as my father took some time to t
Dancing With Fate Chapter 63
Quinn POVDerek sensed something was amidst and followed me outside where we both shifted into our wolves. The full moon’s energy coursed through us, giving us heightened speed and senses. I heard howls in the distance accompanied by mind-link messages that they too were on their way to see the rise of Damien Pierce. As we approached the hospital, the voices that had quieted since receiving my necklace were now talking all at once. “Savior! Follow the power!” The tall slate brick building came into view. Seline pushed herself faster. Wanting nothing more than to get closer to the energy source that emanated from the tall building. As we approached the hospital, two nurses stood outside waiting for us with scrubs to change into. Derek and I quickly shifted back to our human forms. “My Queen.” The nurses bowed before handing us the clothing. I still didn’t know how to handle being called that. I certainly did not feel like a queen. I gave them a small smile before getting changed. “W
Dancing With Fate Chapter 62
What the man didn’t tell me was that my grandfather was not only speaking in his sleep, but approximately around the time Rowan was killed, he roared loud enough to make the building tremble under its intensity. Reluctantly, I had sent a mind link to my father to let him know about the situation. To no surprise he didn’t respond. With Ryan with Thomas and Kat, Derek and I were now here at the hospital in my grandfather’s room. I felt the stone on my necklace heat as we got closer to my grandfather’s bed. The sensation made me gasp. Derek looked at me warily. “You okay?” I tugged on the string to push the stone off my skin. “Ye-yeah” I stammered. My grandfather began to stir in his bed. Maybe it was because of the full moon tonight. Everyone seemed to be antsy, which was normal for a full moon. I walked over to my grandfather and put my hand into his. His complexion had improved significantly since the last time I had visited. His cheeks were less gaunt and now had a pink hue to th
Dancing With Fate Chapter 61
Quinn POV Amelia and the remaining members of her and Rowan’s army were nowhere to be found. I immersed myself in helping tend to any injured and to support the mourning families. I refused to acknowledge that now that the other services for the fallen had been commenced, it was now time for my mother’s. The impending storm that threatened to come held off for my mother’s service. Whispers and side glances plagued my senses as I stood next to my father and Ryan. Derek stood behind me, close enough to let me know that he was there, but also allowing me to mourn with my family. My black knee length dress felt like it was suffocating me. I tugged at the fabric, attempting to get more room but unsuccessful. My father stood as still as a statue in an all black bespoke suit. His hands rested in front of him as he continued to look at my mother’s dark cherry coffin. Thomas led the ceremony. His usually bright emerald green eyes were dull and filled with unshed tears. Everyone was dressed
Dancing With Fate Chapter 60
Quinn POV Howls echoed in unison throughout the territory as we all felt the tether to my mother break. I focused my energy on the enemy in front of me. I could break after this bitch was destroyed. Something must have spooked Amelia because she extinguished her smoke spheres and looked at me with her blood shot eyes. “This is over Quinn. I will take all that you took from me!” Before I could move towards her, she vanished in a cloud of smoke along with Rowan’s body. I let out a growl. “I’ll be waiting!”As soon as Amelia was gone, I ran back over to my mother and father. I fell to my knees in front of my mother and wrapped my arms around my father’s torso. “Daddy, she’s gone.” His entire body trembled as the other half to his soul was taken from him. Members of the surrounding packs circled us. Some wounded, some missing limbs, but all giving their respect for one of their leaders. I heard the sound of feet hitting the ground quickly before I heard the sound of Kat gasp. She fel
Dancing With Fate Chapter 59
QUINN POVI knew she was gone when I heard my father‘s roar. It echoed throughout the field making me wince from the pain in my ears. I looked up to see my dad‘s wolf running to my mother who was still cradled in my arms. He licked her face as if his kisses could help heal what was broken. Tears streamed down my face as I felt her tether to me vanish. I brushed some hair away from her pale lifeless face. I heard bones cracking and rearranging before the bloody hands of my father touched my mothers face. Extreme guilt filled me knowing she just sacrificed her life for me. I looked at my father who looked like he had seen a ghost.“Anna baby please wake up please wake up” he cried shaking her pepper in her face with kisses “please baby wake up wake up you can’t be gone” he looked at me and panic.“What have you done you bitch!” The woman screamed. In my despair I had almost forgotten that Amelia was still alive. I stood up and moved in between my parents and Amelia. Her eyes became a
