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.
I was busy clearing tables in the small bar where I worked when I saw the other waitress, Rachel trying to get my attention; she's frantically shaking her head towards the small booth at the back where there is an attractive young guy about maybe 19 sitting studying the menu. I rolled my eyes at Rachel and continued clearing tables. I have worked here for three months now, and in all that time, Rachel has fallen in love with just about every young guy that has walked through the door and unluckily for me, she usually ends up taking them back to the tiny apartment we share above the bar at the end of the night. “Excuse me, is it ok if I move tables?” I turned to find the guy Rachel had her eye on right behind me. I could see why she was attracted to him with his dark brown messy hair and chocolate coloured eyes, I opened my mouth to tell him yes when the
Nathan's POVLiam and I rushed to the hospital after being told that my brother was brought in after being attacked by rogues saving one of Liams pack members in the process. Call it intuition but I think there is more to the story than I'm being told. Liam and his beta Jake have been on edge since I arrived for our meeting this afternoon and have only given me the bare minimum of details. As we entered the hospital, the doctor rushed over to Liam to provide him with the blood tests results. Somebody stabbed them with a silver dagger with Wolfsbane and another herb that slows down healing, but luckily there was an antidote available. Liam rushed into one of the hospital rooms with me right behind him, and suddenly I was hit with the most beautiful scent of strawberries and chamomile. Liam quickly scooped up a young girl in his arms.-I think the scent is coming from her-,
Quinn's Point of View I was cuddled up on Jakes couch with my best friend Summer. She was more like a sister to me. I met her at nursery when I was two years old, and we have been inseparable ever since. My dad didn't want anything to do with me and gave money to various nannies to raise me, but I spent more time at Summers house with her mum Clara raising me. It was Clara that wiped my tears and cleaned my scrapes. As Liam got older, he started to look after not only me but Summer too. Clara wouldn't take money for looking after me, so Liam would buy clothes and toiletries and treats and anything he bought for me; he would get the same for Summer. He bought both of us cars for our sixteenth birthday and taught us to drive. The pack knew that whilst my father might not care, future Alpha Liam would do anything for Summer and me. “Are you even listening to me right now?”
Quinn's Point of View I woke up and looked over at the clock. It was 6.57. I looked around the room, and Summer was gone. I could hear hushed whispers coming from the living room as I opened the door; I was met with silence. “Please don't stop on my account,” I told them, heading to the kitchen for coffee. When I looked back, I realised the living room was packed. There was Liam, Jake, Summer, Nathan, Asher and his parents. Before anyone could speak, Nathan and Asher's mum ran over and pulled me into her arms. “Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry for what's going on. Your brother has been filling us in. You will be safe at Cold Moon, and you will have so much fun you might never want to leave”. She told me with a big grin. “I'm Sarah, and my mate is Tyson, and we are so happy that you are coming to Cold Moon with us”. Nathan cleared his throat awkwardly, and his mother let me go. I looked at Liam, and he was holding bac
Nathan's Point of View I had to go and have a shower after that food fight, and I couldn’t stop smiling. I can’t remember the last time I had done something so childish and fun. I’m glad we’re heading home today. I’m on edge knowing that people in this pack would happily stab Quinn in the back, especially with that reward being offered. She’ll be safer in my pack, and once she’s eighteen, she’ll know we’re mates and going after a Luna is an offence punishable by death, and if he even attempts to take her, I will kill him. Once I finished my shower, my Beta and best friend Noah was shown into my suite. I got him up to speed as I had only told him the bare minimum when I phoned and asked him to come here. “So I’m about to meet my future Luna”, he laughed, and I could tell he was genuinely happy for me. “Yes, but remember she doesn’t know yet, so keep it to yourself. I don’t want to scare her, and I don’t think she
Quinn's Point of ViewI was pulled out of my sleep by laughter; I opened my eyes and smiled as Summer twisted round in her seat. “Hey, sleeping beauty, I forgot how easily you could fall asleep at the drop of a hat.” she smiled mischievously as she looked over me. “You looked comfy”. As she said that, I realised I had fallen asleep and somehow ended up cuddling into Nathan. “I'm so sorry I said, moving as far away as I could”. Nathan smiled sleepily at me. -You were drooling in your sleep. I wonder what you were dreaming of- Summers's voice sounded in my head. I unintentionally growled, causing Summer to erupt into a fit of giggles. “Something you want to share with the class?” Noah asked Summer.“Hmm, maybe later”, she laughed, “So how long until we are at Cold Moon. “About 10 minutes”. Nathan s
Quinn's Point of View “That's nice timing”, I told Sarah as she came into the kitchen. “Oh, is there anything I can do to help” “No thanks, Sarah, I'm just dishing up, take a seat”. As I was taking the plates to the table, I asked Nathan to get everyone a drink. “She's here two minutes, and she's got you well trained”. Asher chirped as Nathan got up to get the drinks. I slapped the back of his head as I put his plate down. “Looks like she's picked up a few things from you too,” he muttered. We all started eating, and Summer told us all about the changes she wanted to make to Noah's home to make it home for both of them. Poor Noah doesn't know what he's letting himself in for because I know for a fact he will be doing all the work. “Oh, Liam phoned earlier and said he would pack the rest of my stuff up and bring it here on Sunday to save me having to go back”. Summer tol

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
