QuinnI'm not sure if anything I say will help her, so I stay quiet. The fact that she asked if I felt anything means she didn't, which makes no sense at all.Then again, I don't know about mates and bonds, so I can't really say much and be sure I'm right. I'm just confused, as they explained it like mates and such had an unbreakable bond.Ours appears weak, or at least in my mind, it feels like it is."Your brothers explained that me leaving would kill us both," I whisper, and she nods."It's your choice, Quinn. If you want to leave, you're free to," she whispers, and I see the pain in her eyes at the thought of it. She will be hurt if I leave.Sure, she said it was my choice, but it's not. It's hers. I've nothing in life, so leaving and living alone is not a scary thought for me. Then there's the fact that I never knew about mates and bonds.She no doubt spent her life praying that she would find her mate. Dreaming about the life they would have together. Me walking away would hurt h
StormI wasn't expecting Quinn to shift. He was focused on helping me. Now, even shifted, I can see the panic in his eyes, and I know it's because of our reaction.Then again, what reaction were we meant to have? I still can't stop staring at him. All I can think is, 'How?' How is this possible? I know how it's possible, but it seems wrong."Quinn, it's fine, I promise," I smile at him. He's not noticed his size or how he is standing. Then again, how could he? Has he even seen a werewolf shift before to know what normal is?He steps back more, and I feel like he might run."Can you focus on Raven?" I ask. "It might help me shift." I just need to keep him here and calm until he can figure out how to shift back. I also can't tell him much about what is happening as that likely will lead to him panicking more.It's rare for werewolves to stand on two feet, which is typically reserved for lycans or hybrids. He's not a lycan. That's clear from his eyes. They aren't the same colour as Lycan
DariusI look at Quinn and Storm. There's so much more I need to work out, but right now, I need to stick to the basics for Quinn. Then, when I look into it more, I can give them more.We've still had no luck tracking down Grant or Bailey, the other three werewolves they used, or the location they conducted testing on.This feels like nineteen years ago all over again. There are links to it, which I hate right now."Dad?" Storm looks at me, and I sigh."Look, the fae have their human form and their fae form. When someone is a hybrid, there are three ways they can shift. If a werewolf is a hybrid with Fae, they can shift into a werewolf, but with some subtle forms of Fae. Or, they shift into Fae with some subtle forms of wolf. Some can shift into a wolf or a fae," I explain.Storm nods and looks at me. "But he didn't," she points towards Quinn."In rare cases, the person is powerful enough to hold both sides at once. Hence, Quinn shifted and was part fae, part wolf at the same time," I
DariusSitting here we discuss it. No one will like it, but things need sorting and we can't pretend like we don't know the truth.I watch as Xenia walks in."So?" She says while looking between us."You know little about faes, merfolk, dragons and such, right?" I ask and she nods."Only what I learnt from you two and Isadora. Why?" She asks. "Is this because you want to get Quinn help from the Faes but are unsure if anyone will help after the past?" she looks at me and I nod."Not just that, you remember I mentioned the sides refused to interact, werewolves were blocked from each of their kingdoms and likewise them ours?" I ask and she nods."Right, if less someone was already residing there married with kids they were forced to leave, you're not asking to move in Darius," she laughs slightly."Let me show you something," I say before grabbing the laptop and pulling up the videos. It's a way to make her realise what I am thinking. I turn it to face her and hit the play button."This
QuinnWhen I wake, I leave the room. Yori as always is waiting to escort me around. Do they still think I will hurt someone? I push the thought out and walk to where Asher and Elijah are sitting.They turn and look at me as I approach."Morning," Asher smiles at me. "You want something, right?" He laughs and I nod. It won't cost anything, and it's nothing physical."What does Storm like?" I ask, before sitting. She's trying to help me so much and I want to thank her. I'm not sure how though. I've heard of giving a woman flowers and chocolate, but is that even right?"Storm loves reading, she spends a lot of her time in the library," Elijah says."She also spends a lot of her spare time in the orphanage with the children there," Asher explains. "It might help if we knew why you were asking. She likes a lot of things," he says and I nod."I want to give her something to say thank you for helping me." That's all I want to do, is show her I appreciate everything."Things aren't what Storm
StormAll I planned to do was kiss him, just once and lightly, but Raven seems to be taking control of me right now. I've lost control, and forget everything as I stay above him, and begin to strip us.He groans loudly as I feel his cock harden beneath me, his hand tangles into my hair more as I force my tongue into his mouth and kiss him."Princess Storm!" The shout has me jumping. Oh, crap. I peer up and see Yori staring at me. "I don't think your parents would approve of you stripping yourself in front of guards," he mutters."Then leave us," I complain and he laughs."We've to stay within sight of him at all times if less he's in his room." Yori's words have me nodding, I fasten my top again and he steps away. It was foolish of me to do it here, kissing him was one thing, but I got lost in Raven's impulses and let it happen.It's being too long since I felt her so strongly, I didn't want to ignore that and lose her again. Packing up the things we begin walking back in but Quinn do
StormI stand staring at my dad, waiting for him to apologise and see he's utterly ridiculous right now. He and Darius seem to have switched roles. I feel that's only because Darius knows that I can just turn his argument around on him and how things went with my mum."You two, come with me," I turn hearing my mum. She looks towards me and my dad. "Now, come on," I take a step towards her but my dad stops me."All I want to know is if he even plans or has thoughts of actually claiming you. Every day so far he's tried to run and leave," my dad argues and looks from me to Quinn."I don't know what you mean by that," Quinn mutters."Dad! He didn't even know about mates and bonds, so stop!" I turn and storm past my mum hearing her follow. Getting into her quarters I go to her office and sit.She walks in and looks at me."If he continues to act like I'm going!" I shout, and she sighs."I swear it wasn't until you could talk and walk I realised how bad Darius had it with your dad all those
QuinnShe sits quietly, and I wait for her to explain. I've noticed it, she seems distant from everyone, and it's strange. Everyone else appears to be close to each other."I don't hate my family, Quinn," she whispers, and I wonder if I just see it wrong. Then again, I feel it—not hate, but something I can't understand."You're distant from them all," I explain, and she nods."I fell out with them over Julian, and now I realise it's my fault. I didn't believe them, I trusted him when I shouldn't have," she says and I nod."But now you know the truth, so why are you still pushing them out?" I ask, unable to understand."It's complicated, Quinn," she says, and I look at her. It's not. They are her family; they should come first, no matter what. As I think those words, I realise how wrong they are. If that's the truth, I wouldn't have told the king and queen why I was sent here.I would be working to help my mum. So maybe family don't come first all the time?"Look, I'm a fool, and I kno
