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
StormQuinn's lips stay on mine as we kiss. He's panicking. That wasn't me saying we would; I was just explaining the options. Raven instantly wakes up, and I pull my top off. Lifting his hands, I place them on me. He freezes for a moment.I expect him to free out that I've got no top on, only his wolf growls, and he grabs me tighter, pulling me closer. My hands move and pull his top on. His body stills for a moment when my hands run down his chest before his hands begin fighting with the rest of my clothes.Our clothes end up thrown around the room, his hands stroking along my body. Grasping his hand, I place it between my legs. My fingers guide his inside of me. A whimper escapes my lips as his fingers move. My mouth captures mine, and I know his wolf has most of his control. My hips push up as his fingers move faster. His eyes settle, and he stares at me.I feel panic flood through him, and I focus on trying to make him calm."Quinn, it's fine," I whisper before placing my hand on t
StormMy dads sit there and complain about my foolishness. I know Quinn might leave, and now that he's claimed me, it will be like death when we have to reject each other.They walk out, and I stop my mum."Can we talk?" I ask, and she nods. I watch her sit down, and I try and figure out how to word it."You know Quinn cannot control his emotions yet. So sex right now wasn't a good idea, Storm. I get it, you're mates, and it's easy to forget and lose control." She smiles at me, and I nod."I..." Did I just come out and say it, I'm not even sure."Storm, what's wrong?" She smiles and grasps my hands."He shifted, mum," I look at him, and she laughs."Well, that's what happens when you rush and don't learn." Her voice is full of amusement. I stare at her in shock."Mum, I mean during sex!" How is that funny?"Faes are very much like humans, Storm, just bigger with wings. Faes typically shift to mate. Quite often, if they don't, the pleasure is too much, and they shift regardless. It's no
StormI stay awake and watch as Quinn sleeps. I hear someone step towards the room, and turning, I look at Asher."I'm sorry," he grins at me."Asher don't, I'm not in the mood!" It's not funny. I don't find it even slightly funny."Look, he came out and was freaking out over what happened. I thought I would help," he shrugs slightly."Help? In one hour, you got him so drunk he passed out?" How the hell does that help?"He was freaking out. I offered him a shot and said it would calm him," he says while shrugging slightly. "He drank it, and seemed to calm down, he liked it asked for another so I gave him one, then another and well another."I glare across at him."Okay, fine, I fucked up. I am sorry. He stopped freaking out thinking he had done something wrong," he says before smiling."No, he passed out!" He didn't calm down and stop freaking out. He passed out."Either way, I apologise. Next time I will find a non alcohol friendly way to help," he smirks at me."Next time?" Is he cr
Quinn POVI sleep well, far better than I think I ever have before. I have no nightmares. I don't get woken up by any noises. It's just peaceful.I wake feeling uneasy. My head hurts. Actually, my whole body hurts. My throat is dry and sore, and I swear it feels like when I would wake up from them testing things on me.My heart begins to pound in my chest. Everything feels the same. I begin to panic and quickly move, my body hitting against the wall.The room begins to spin, and I fight to see everything right. They tricked me. My mum warned me they would trick me. I grasp my head, feeling pain pulsing through it."Quinn!"My head shakes."Stay away! You all lied!" I scream, feeling the heat build-up in my palms. I should have known. How didn't I realise they were doing the same thing?"Quinn, please," I hear the words, but everything is still blurry; my head hurts. Screaming, I grasp it more. I can't feel my wolf anymore. Why can't I feel it anymore?There are more voices now, and I
StormI'm not sure what happened. Quinn woke up and instantly began to panic. He kept muttering about being drugged and tricked. At first, my dad and Darius forced me to stay back.Fighting with the guards, though, made them give in."We have to," my dad looks at Darius."Please, just let me try!" I look at him."He's already burnt half the room, Storm!" His words are loud, and I look at Quinn. The fire is bigger than I've ever seen it. My words are ignored. I try and rush forward as they throw the water, but my mum's arms wrap around me and hold me in place.Screaming, I push her off me and watch Quinn shift."He's safe!" I shout and rush towards him as he starts to move. Placing my hand on his chest, I try to calm him. He stares down at me, and I try to smile back at him.They were ready to chain him down, which is wrong.“Please, Quinn!” I look at him, sensing he's on the edge of running. He moves slowly, and I watch everyone tense as he grabs me and lifts me. My body wraps around
StormSitting, we stay quiet. He's still shifted in his fae form and seems to be amazed by the few parts of his body that resemble a wolf. I watch as he looks over his shoulder and now peers at the wings."I should speak to my mum," his words are quiet, and I glance at him. "Surely she knows who my father is if he's fae?"He looks at me, and I nod. I need to explain the truth to him, and then he knows that Bailey isn't his mum. My hand reaches back and strokes along his wing.A weird tingling sensation floats through my hand, and a low rumble grows within him. He smiles at me, and I watch his eyes change colour to silver. I swear his changes are giving me whiplash. I glance up and see his ears gone; pulling him forward, I look."Storm," he grumbles."Your ears changed," I explain and hear him sigh. His breath washes over my breasts. Oh crap, I pull back quickly. He holds up his hand, and I stare at it."How?" I peer at him. "Can you turn them back to paws?" I ask and hold his hand aga
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.
