Quinn's point of viewLoud banging pulled me from my sleep which was a shame as I was having a lovely dream about Jay from Chicago PD. I pulled myself out of bed and towards the noise that had woken me and found Nathan and Noah clearing out one of the spare bedrooms.“What are you doing,” I asked, startling both men.“Sorry, we didn’t mean to wake you,” Nathan told me apologetically.“Then don’t bang about at the crack of dawn,” I mumbled grumpily.Both of them chuckled softly as Nathan turned me around to face the hall clock. It was after twelve.“Dammit, why did you let me sleep this late I’m meeting your mum in twenty minutes to go to the bridal store to get measured again.” I turned and ran for our room to quickly get ready. I ran out of the house less than t
Quinn's point of viewI could scent Nathan before I even opened my eyes, but when I stretched, I knew I was lying on a bed, which was strange as I was sure I had fallen asleep on the couch in his office. I opened my eyes, and sure enough, I was lying on a bed in Nathans old room in his parent's suite. I was still fully clothed; even my shoes were on. I wandered into the living room to find Sarah, Megan and Summer looking for a photographer; apparently, Sarah couldn't decide between two, so the girls were looking through their portfolios to help her choose. I also found out that we were also having a videographer as well. I didn't really understand why we needed both, but Sarah had insisted.“How are you feeling after your nap,” Summer asked as I sat down on the couch between her and Megan.“Like I need another one,” I replied. “Wheres Nathan?”
Quinn's point of viewI looked down at his phone and saw the photo he had been sent of me being carried whilst sleeping by Asher.“Well, in my defence, I was sleeping,” I told him, handing the phone back to him although he made no effort to take it back.“There is a text attached this time.”I scrolled down and saw the text, “look how content your supposed mate looks in your brother's arms. How do you know it's you she wants” “who the hell is doing this” I exploded “surely there is a way for us to find out who's phone it is.”“I tried, but it's a pre paid phone, so there is no way to find out who's doing it, but I thought I should let you know.”I turned my head away from him and started at the pond in front of me.
Nathan's point of viewI rushed to her the picnic basket as fast as I could. I didn't want to speculate about what could be the cause of Quinn being sick like she said it's a normal part of pregnancy, but the way Amy was acting wasn't helping my fears; in fact, she made them worse. I've known Amy my whole life she's two years older than me and I was friends with her brother for many years she met her mate in our pack so unlike so many women she didn't have to move to a new pack and I could tell that there was something wrong as soon as she asked me to retrieve the food. I trusted Amy to sit with Quinn as a friend, but I still didn't know if this was a straightforward pregnancy thing or if someone had tried to harm her and our pups.Regardless of what happened, she would want her best friends there; even if it were so that they could sit in the waiting room, she would be calmer knowing they were there. Also, selfishly
Quinn's point of viewI watched Emily's face as she came into the room. Ever the consummate professional, her face gave nothing away. Amy, on the other hand, had a twinkle in her eye, instantly making me relax.“We have good news”, Emily smiled, moving closer to the bed. “You suffered an allergic reaction to the flour they used in the brownies.”“Are you sure” Nathan snarled, earning him a scowl from Emily.“Yes, the kitchen had used brown flour in the brownies to try and make them healthier, and you're allergic to it.”“Why didn't it look like an allergy,” I asked, confused.“My guess would be because of your special ability.”“You mean because I'm a Darach,” I asked as Amy’s mouth fell open id for
Quinn's point of viewI eagerly awaited Liam’s arrival like a dog with two tails. I missed him, and even though it hasn't really been that long since I've seen him, I still wish I had moved closer to home so I could see him a lot more.I practically ran to the door when the doorbell sounded, throwing the door open and hugging Liam.“Look at you, Quinn; you're glowing.” Liam held me at arm's length as he looked me over.“That would be the spa day me, Summer and Megan had today.” I laughed.“You look great. Being pregnant suits you, sis. So where's Summer and my future brother in law.”“Summer has gone with Megan and Sarah to check the banquet hall to make sure it's ready for tomorrow. They are leaving nothing to chance, and Nate is getting as much work done
Quinn’s point of viewI could hear Summer and Megan singing; here comes the bride getting louder and way more off key the closer they got. I was at the bottom of the stairs when they came in the back door, squealing when they saw me.“Quinny, you don’t mind if we have a wee drink, do you?” Summer asked me, fluttering her eyelashes at me as she waved a bottle of wine under my nose.“I get the feeling you’ve already started”, I joked as she giggled. I wrestled the wine from her hand, and she and Megan ran to put on their pyjamas as I poured them both a glass of wine and myself an orange juice before I settled in front of the television. The girls were soon changed and plopped down on either side of me, and the three of us got settled with our drinks and popcorn and stuck on Magic Mike on Netflix.“I love me some Cha
Quinn's point of view“Mate”, Liam spoke.I stared at him for a second before my brain kicked in, and I turned to find Megan frozen halfway down the stairs, her mouth hanging open and her eyes locked on Liam.“Mate”, she breathed slowly as she descended the stairs and straight into Liam’s waiting arms.Summer and I shared the same shocked look as they kissed.“Alpha Liam, I presume,” Megan asked as she pulled away from him.“Yes, and you must be Megan. I've heard a lot about you.” Liam replied, smiling at Megan like she hung the moon.“Likewise”, she whispered back with the same dopey expression on her face as the dazed into each other’s eyes.“They’re mates,&rdquo
Quinn’s point of viewOne year laterI was blowing up balloons as I looked around the garden. Today was the twins first birthday party, and we had decided to keep it just family. I set a picnic blanket on the ground and sat a few toys down for Sophie and Asher to play with. I still can’t believe they are one year old already; this year has flown past.Summer stepped out with her seven month old daughter Melissa. She placed Melissa with the twins and came to help me with the food. Melissa and Sophie were joined at the hip so much so that Melissa cries anytime she is taken away from Sophie. Summer and I think they are going to grow up as close as we did and always be friends. Asher or AJ, as we have taken to calling him to make it less confusing when they are both around, is usually with his uncle Asher. They have a special bond. Asher can’t go anywhere without AJ tagging along.
Quinn's point of viewWe made it to the pack hospital in record time. Asher pulled in seconds behind us, running straight for my door to help me out. Nathan soon scooped me up in his arms and rushed me into the hospital. Amy was waiting for us at the reception desk, chatting to Phoebe. Both of them had huge smiles on their faces.“How are you feeling, Quinn,” Amy asked as she ushered us into one of the private rooms.“She’s in labour; her waters broke about half an hour ago, and she’s having contractions.” Nathan barked at her.“Lay her down on the bed, and we will have a look at her.”“Where’s Emily? She should be here by now.” Nathan shouted at Amy yet again before his eyes glazed over as he mind linked Emily to hurry up.“Nate, if
Quinn's point of view“Finally here.” Summer exclaimed as the car pulled to a stop, and I saw my brother waiting on us, looking happier and more content than I had ever seen him before. I quickly jumped out of the car at the same time as Summer. Liam wrapped us both up in his arms.“I can't believe you are both having babies,” he said, his eyes filling with tears as he placed one hand on my huge bump and one hand on Summer’s tiny bump that you wouldn't know was there if you didn't think she was pregnant.“Now you have three more reasons to come visit us. Now, where is Megan?” Summer asked as she looked around and saw plenty of pack members walking about with many watching us, but Megan wasn't one of them.“She's in the main hall with Sarah, and I have been threatened to within an inch of my life to stay out of there unt
Quinn's point of view “Mate”, Asher murmured, staring at Cara. Cara wasn't looking at him; she was looking at his hand, which was still holding my arm. “Cara, this is my brother in law Asher,” I told her as I shook his arm off me, snapping her out of her trance. “Let's give them a moment to get acquainted.” Mrs Roberts said quietly as she ushered us out of the kitchen, snapping her fingers at the rest of the staff. I ran back into the dining room to our table with Summer and Nathan laughing behind me. “Liam, Mrs Roberts granddaughter Cara is Asher’s mate.” I chirped happily as I flopped down at the table. “That's great. She's a lovely girl. I really hope they're happy together.” Liam was genuinely happy for them both.&
Quinn's point of view “Quinn, Nate, wake up; that's us here.” Summer spoke softly as she leaned over from the front seat and gently shook my arm. “Sorry, I must have fallen asleep,” I told her, pulling myself up and out of Nathan's arms as he grumbled lightly when I moved away from him. “Yeah, I didn't have the heart to wake you.” she smiled, reminding me of the first time we drove to Nathan's pack, and I woke up all cuddled into him; she wore the same smile that day, and the glint in her eye told me she remembered. The door opened, and Asher leaned in with his trademark smirk as he eyed Nathan and me. “You two coming of what.” “Yes, we are” I pushed Asher back as I climbed out of the car. We followed Liam through the packhouse up to the Alpha suit. He he
Quinn's point of view Sarah made a huge picnic type spread for dinner, and we all sat around the table joking and laughing. There was no fear of being kidnapped by a crazy Alpha trying to make me his mate or a crazy girl wanting my mate. I was just having dinner with my family and friends, and it was glorious. The only downside was that I knew Liam and Megan would be going back to their pack in the morning, and although we were going with them, I knew in a day or two, depending on how long Nathan could be away from the pack, we would be leaving without them. The only consolation is that they would be together. After everything Megan has been through with her old mate, she deserves a mate that will cherish her, and Liam will do that, and I couldn't be happier that Liam would have a loving mate like Megan. “Are you ok? You are in your own wee world?” Nathan whispere
Quinn's point of view “Hey, lazybones, you planning on lying in bed the rest of the year.” Asher’s voice pulled me from my sleep; opening my eyes to look at him, I groaned when the light hit me. “It’s too bright”, I mumbled as I pulled myself up. “That’s what happens when you sleep for almost two days straight. Emily says you can go home whenever your ready.” he smiled as he sat on the chair next to me. “Where’s Nate?” I asked as I looked around and realised he wasn’t in the room. I had been sleeping on and off since I was brought to the hospital, and every time I woke, Nathan was right next to me. “I think he’s having a nap,” Asher told me, his lip twitching as he tried not to laugh. “Oh my god, Asher, what did you do?” I glared at him as he starte
Nathan's point of viewI ran for about ten minutes before I decided to head back. I didn’t want to be far away in case I was needed, but I felt like a coiled spring all wound up waiting for answers. I practically ran into the woods after speaking with Michelle. I was at odds with my wolf; he wanted to rip her apart there and then, and I had to hold him back because if I hurt or worse killed her, we may never know where she took Quinn.-Nathan, I’ve got her, heading to the hospital now- Asher mind linked me.I raced to the hospital and saw both Amy and Emily standing outside with a patient bed.“We don’t know how bad she is; he just told us he was bringer her here,” Emily told me quickly.“He’s here”, Amy cried as she raced past me.Asher held one hand up to
Nathan's point of viewI got to Michelle's house before her, which gave me time to look around; although we all agreed she would be stupid to take Quinn to her own house but I snooped anyway, hoping she might have left a clue somewhere telling us of her plans or where she might be holding Quinn. That’s if she’s the one holding her for all we knew; she came up with the plan and handed Quinn off to someone else. I sat down on the porch, my head in my hands. I’d been awake now for over twenty-four hours with Quinn being gone for over nine now, and I felt absolutely useless. The last time she was taken, we knew who by and where she was being held, so it was easy to form a plan and go get her back, and if it was only rogues that attacked, I had no doubt I would have saved her, but I hate not knowing where she is or if she’s being harmed.-Michelle is on her way up the street; she’s comin
