QuinnThe sound of someone shouting my name wakes me. I peer around and don't see anyone. I'm still outside with Storm. She's wrapped around me and asleep.They are coming.The words float into my mind, and I look around, unable to see anyone."Who?" I whisper. "Why?"To take you away from Storm.I panic hearing the words; standing, I stay in my Fae form and pick her up. Rushing through the trees, I get to where our clothes are. If I shift back, I'll be weaker.I can't protect her then. Picking up my shirt, I place it on her to cover her body. The sun has just begun to rise. Ensuring she is covered fully, I begin to run through the trees towards the palace. As I break out of them, the wolves are surrounding it.One of them shifts and walks towards me. Do they really shift and keep their clothes on? I stand confused and utterly amazed."Quinn, I will show you to her room so she can sleep, and you can get sorted in yours," Yori looks at me, and my head shakes."No!" I'm not leaving her.
QuinnI don't get why we needed to talk. They could have so easily just said that they couldn't help find my father, and that was it. I could be with Storm right now, ensuring she is safe."Quinn, twenty-six years ago, Prince Orion was taken from the Fae's palace. Magic was used. He just disappeared. Quickly after, Princess Seraphine vanished from the Merfolk palace, followed by Prince Arktos, the Bears and Princess Zyra, the Dragons. This is why the sides no longer come together or speak." Queen Xenia smiles at me."It's fine, I understand." I have Storm. I'm not bothered about finding my father."There's a reason I am explaining it, and it's not because they can't help. When you shifted, your wings were significant. They were like the royal family of the Fae. Only that family had those wings." She explains, and I sigh."So you think I am related somehow?" I ask, then realise something. "It makes no difference. I am sure whoever my mum was with knew she had me; they didn't want me. I
StormI wake up in Quinn's bed. I'm wearing his shirt, which is way too big for me."Hey," I turn and see Asher. Your clothes are there; get showered. Quinn is eating downstairs." He smiles at me, and I sit confused. I want to ask why he and Elijah are here and why there are so many more guards outside the door, but I don't.Quinn is fine; that is all that matters. I need to speak to my mum and find out why Quinn changed again. Getting up, I grab the clothes and go to his bathroom. After getting cleaned and changed, I walk out."Can we talk?" Asher looks at me."Later, I need to do something," I say before rushing out, I ignore the guards and everyone. I know where my mum will be. Once I speak to her, I will tell Quinn everything.Rushing into the room, I stop when I see the people. My body stays still as they turn and look at me.Fae. I know because they have their guards with them who are shifted. I watch the people part, and a woman stands looking at me. She's also shifted and is so
**I apologise for the issues with the chapters this week. My daughter was in the hospital, and I was apparently very sleep-deprived. All chapters should now be updated to the correct ones. I again apologise**QuinnStorm stands looking at me. She moves and holds out clothes for me.“Please, Quinn,” she begs, and I reluctantly shift back. Without speaking, I take off my clothes and get dressed. I thought I could trust her, and regardless of who Bailey really was to me, she told me this would happen.She warned me they would let me in and treat me like family but keep things hidden. I was ready for that, but I never thought Storm would.Turning, I walk towards the palace.“Quinn, I get I hurt you, but I couldn’t say anything,” Storm says.“You could!” I shout before turning to look at her. She could have told me that my mother wasn't Bailey. “You had days to tell me.”“I apologise. I didn’t want to tell you until you were calm and had control of your magic,” she explains. I laugh. I'm d
Storm POVI stand looking at Quinn, waiting for him to shift back and speak to me. I hold out the clothes that I brought for him."Please, Quinn," I beg, watching as he shifts back. He silently takes the clothes and gets dressed. He doesn't speak. He simply turns and begins to walk towards the palace."Quinn, I get I hurt you, but I couldn't say anything," I explain."You could!" He shouts before turning to look at me. "You had days to tell me.""I apologise; I didn't want to tell you until you were calm and had control of your magic," I explain, and he laughs."My magic is in control. My magic isn't the problem! It's my emotions, and you keeping it a secret who I really am doesn't help," he shouts, and I nod. "I would never do that to you," he whispers before walking back inside. I follow at a distance."Quinn, please, can we speak?" I ask, and he looks at me."Now you will speak?" he asks, and I stand confused. "Not last night, or yesterday, or when you found out. You will speak now
Quinn POVI leave the room and walk back to mine to finish packing. As I'm finishing up, the knock has me turning to stand. Aurelia stands by the door, looking at me.It's strange. I can't tell the difference between Elijah and Asher, except for the hair length. Yet, with Aurelia and Storm, I instantly know.Despite them being identical, I instantly know if it's Storm or not."Can I speak with you?" Aurelia asks as she steps into the room. Sighing, I nod. I watch as she takes a seat in the room, and I sit down, waiting for her to speak."I know it won't feel good to know she kept your life a secret, Quinn. Can I ask you something?" she says, and I look at her, waiting for her to ask me. "What if you were her?"Sitting, I look at her in confusion."What if you were Storm? She had come here, unable to control her magic, and then things got worse because the feelings of the mate bond caused more issues. All you wanted to do was protect her and give her time to get used to living in the p
Storm POVI wake up with my body hurting. Whatever I'm laid on is hard and cold. It feels like concrete. I fight to remember what happened; I was sure someone grabbed me, and something stabbed through my skin.Yet, now I'm wondering if I just passed out. Breathing in deeply, I try to sit up but find myself unable to. Opening my eyes, I glance around. I'm not on the floor; I'm on some sort of concrete altar.Pulling my hands, I find them strapped down, a needle in both of my arms. Panic floods through me as I see the blood slowly leaving my body. Screaming, I fight to break out of it and stop quickly. Closing my eyes I try and focus on Raven, if I can shift I can escape."Wolfsbane, the one thing that will always mute your wolf," the words make my head turn as I look at the woman."Who are you?" I don't recognise her at all."No one important. I'm here to help a greater cause, that's all." Her words are softly spoken, and I turn my head, trying to see around me. I stop when I see anoth
Quinn POVI'm anxious and annoyed with having to wait."It should be safe now," Grant says, but I don't reply. I hang up and leave the room. I see the guards and soldiers still in the main room with the kings.Slipping past it, I went to the room that Grant had said. As I step in, I close the door and rush to the bookcase. I begin to feel along the woof for something, but there's nothing. There's no button anywhere.Panic builds that Grant lied, I don't get why he would be it feels like he did now. I stop when I feel a slightly raised bit pushing against it, I hear a clicking sound, and the bookcase comes away from the wall.I peer towards the doorway before stepping into the tunnel and closing the door. He said to stay to the right, only turn right. I begin to rush through it, and with each right turn, I become anxious. I feel like I'm going in circles until I see a door partly open.Rushing towards it, I swing it open and come into a dark brick room. My body stops when I see a coat
