QUINN POVMoon Drop.A dangerous, deadly aphrodisiac. My body shook as I struggled against the materials of my dress that held me. I rubbed my legs together, a desperate coping mechanism at that moment. It was the only thing that could control the stupid feeling of intense lust building inside me, a fire I couldn't put out."Alpha Perrin..." My voice cracked, the words barely leaving my lips as tears made my vision blurry. Why would he do this to me? What kind of monster was he?Moon Drop wasn’t just an aphrodisiac; it was a curse. It didn't just heighten your sexual desires; it attacked your wolf, pushing it into a frenzy. If I couldn’t find relief, the only thing I would feel would be pain. Excruciating pain, pain so intense that I would beg for anything, even any man for sex just to stop it.Alpha Perrin’s expression told me everything I needed to know. He wasn’t here to help me. He wasn’t even interested in touching me. No, he wanted to see me suffer. And that small, cruel smile
QUINN POV Bastard!Freaking bastard!He put me in this situation on purpose, just to make me agree to that. Why?“How am I supposed to heal your leg in seven days?” I asked, my chest rising and falling with each breath I took .That was almost impossible! If I tried to heal him in seven days, the pain would be unbearable. I could even die in the process, that is if it was even possible.“I don’t know…” I said, tears rolling down my cheeks. “I really don’t know how to do it. If I try, I could die…”“Could die…” he repeated. “But you will die right now if I don’t give you what you need.”He was right. I could feel the pain getting worse inside me, intensifying with every move I tried to make.It was excruciating. I couldn’t do this. I couldn’t live like this.“Seven days isn’t enough,” I said. “Give me a month, and I will make it work. But healing your leg completely in seven days? I don’t have that kind of power.”“Okay then…” he said as he stood up. “I will leave you here and have
QUNN POV“If we get caught…” I hesitated, glancing outside again to make sure no one was listening. What Adler was suggesting was terrifying, but it seemed like the most logical thing I could do in this situation.“We are not going to get caught as long as we are careful,” Adler whispered, leaning in. “I know this prison inside and out, okay? I used to be a guard here. Around midnight, only one guard will be on duty. I also know a secret passage we can take.”“But what about you after you escape?” I asked, raising a brow in confusion. “You might become a rogue without a pack. What will happen to you?”“Don’t worry about that,” he said. “I have a cousin in the Silver Grey Pack. His father is a high councilman, and when he hears about my situation, he will have mercy on me and talk to their alpha. I can easily join the pack, and Alpha Perrin won’t bother chasing me there. I am not that important to him.”I nodded, his words starting to make sense. I took a deep breath, carefully thi
QUINN POV"Rough night?" Adler asked the moment I opened my eyes.Morning had already arrived. I could tell from the bright rays of sunlight slipping through the tiny window, barely brightening our dark, miserable cell.I let out a tired sigh. "Well, considering we are locked up in a dungeon, I wouldn’t exactly call it a five-star stay." My tone was dry, but Adler chuckled like I had just cracked the funniest joke."Don’t worry, Luna. It is only temporary," he said, sounding way too confident for someone trapped in a cell. He spoke as if escaping tonight was guaranteed. I wasn’t so sure, but at this point, hope was all I had left.I glanced at him and sighed again. "You don’t have to call me Luna," I muttered, biting my lower lip. "Just call me Quinn. Given the circumstances, I am hardly fit to be anyone’s Luna." My eyes wandered to the damp, cracked walls of the dungeon. "So yeah… no need for the formalities."Adler didn’t respond right away. There was a brief silence before he gav
Chapter one Quinn's pov“No, no, no!!!” I screamed, joking up from the bed with my hair as rough as it could be. Thick sweat trailed all over my body, and my hands were shaking as though there was no tomorrow. My chase paced as my drumming heart, and it got really hard for me to swallow.“What kind of nightmare is this?” I asked, and just then, I heard a banging sound.“BOOM!” The house shook, making my eyes widen. I immediately threw my legs off the bed, holding on to my nightgown as I rushed out of there with worry in mind.“You’ve got to be kidding me,” I said when I got to the living room. My parents, who were leaders of the pack, were already dressed up in their armor, ready for battle.“Mom, Dad, what's going on?” I said with worry imprinted on my face. However, my mother rushed towards me and grabbed my shoulders.“You better save my daughter. You better!” She urged, pushing me towards the way I came.“Take Laila and carry her to the bunker. Do you hear me?” She asked, and I
Chapter 2Quinn's pov.“You don't need to be scared, he's just a crippled Alpha.” My wolf said.She wasn't wrong. We had heard a lot about the alpha over the past few years, but then one rumor about the reason why he never came out to invade or negotiate with packs was that he was crippled. “Maybe he wants me to be his servant,” I replied to my wolf, trying my best to be still as the vehicle carried us away.My hands were shaking. It was as though my body feared the future. I was trying my best to ensure that I wasn't bothered, but the situation needed fear.“We're here!” One of the guards announced to my hearing, and instead of feeling better about ending the excruciating journey, I wished the journey never ended.The guards helped me out of the car but secured me tightly so I wouldn't run away, and I tried my best not to annoy any of them because there was no one to save me there. My mind only reeled around what my life was going to become.Suddenly, the huge door was pushed open,
Chapter 3Quinn's pov“Well, why isn't she answering?” The audience became demanding. Little did they know that I was about to marry a man I just met.Alpha Perrin cleared his throat, and I raised my eyes to meet his glaring gaze. I knew what he meant, but was it all worth it? Was I really about to remain tied to a stranger for the rest of my life?“Ma'am, you have to answer. Do you take Alpha Perrin to be your lawfully wedded husband?" Even the priest sounded like he was urging me.I swallowed, my eyes being raised to the man who was standing there. He had a serious look on his face as though he was about to skin me alive."Yes!" I screamed hesitantly, or maybe it was the pressure I felt. However, no one seemed to care about it.The elder in that same faith turned to Perrin and asked him the same question. However, the man who had just met me for the very first time didn't hesitate to agree."Yes I do," Perrin answered, his voice firm.Then the elder nodded and continued."In the nam
Chapter 4Quinn's pov I stretched my hands feeling pains all over. My headaches, and so did my eyes.Suddenly, I opened my eyes widened, wanting to see if all I had been. Through was a dream, but it wasn't so."No!" I growled, hitting my hands against the bed. It seemed like I had woken up on the aggressive side of the bed this morning.My head suddenly turned towards the door, my eyes shaking due to fear. My hands grabbed the shit because I thought Perrin was the one behind the door. But then again, I knew Perrin wasn't going to knock."Who is it?" I asked, and the lady behind the door spoke."I'm sorry. I didn't mean to disturb you, but I was asked to prepare you for today, and also bring you to the breakfast table."I sighed. "Come in."In a short while, she came in and lowered her head."I'll be preparing a bath for you now..."I nodded and continued to ponder on what the other lady said last night."Was I going to be killed just like that?" I pondered and was worried about the w

QUINN'S POVI tried hard, maybe even desperately to control my racing heart, but it was impossible.Every time I thought about what Alpha Perrin had planned for me, a different kind of chill ran down my spine.Was he going to toss me over his balcony again today? And if not, what else did he have waiting for me? I didn’t want to think about it. The very thought terrified me."Walk faster," a guard muttered before shoving me from behind. I stumbled forward, nearly falling to my knees, but I caught myself just in time.When I reached the Alpha's room, I pushed the door open and stepped inside. There he was, sitting comfortably in his chair, shirtless, swirling a glass of liquor in his hand.If I weren’t so tormented and afraid for my life, I might have admired how breathtaking he looked. His body was something else, dangerously seductive. But none of that mattered now."Oh, hey there," a voice chirped. I knew exactly who it was.Gianna. Again.She stepped out of the shadows, barely dres
QUINN POVI sat on the cold dungeon floor, my body aching from the bruises I got when the guards dragged me carelessly. But that pain was nothing compared to the one in my chest.A sob escaped me as I realized how badly things had turned. He didn’t even let me explain, just assumed I was a traitor and ran with it. How do I make him understand that I never intended to betray him?I never would have gone through with the poison.“You might want to save those tears. This is only the beginning,” a voice said, sending goosebumps across my skin. My heart clenched in ways I couldn’t understand. Of all people, why did she have to be here again?“Leave me alone, Gianna,” I muttered, turning my back to her.“I don’t think you are in a position to make demands,” she said . “You should be punished for what you did, and I will be the first to do it.”The sudden creak of the dungeon door made me turn toward her.“What is happening?” I asked, panic rising in me as I struggled to my feet. “What’s g
QUINN POV"I knew it!" Gianna said. If I didn’t know any better, I would think she actually cared about Alpha Perrin and wasn’t just thrilled that my secrets were finally getting exposed. "I knew from day one that she was up to no good, that she was evil and wicked. I tried to warn you, Alpha Perrin. I tried to warn everyone."Alpha Perrin clenched the little letter Gianna had given him, his grip tightening until the paper crumpled. His icy cold eyes slowly turned toward me.Shit. If looks could kill, I would be dead already.His expression was difficult to read, but that only made him more terrifying. He was going to kill me. He was probably already thinking of a hundred ways to do it."It’s not…" I stammered, struggling to find the right words. "It’s not what you think… I just—" I couldn’t finish. My heart was pounding so fast that all I could do was stutter."You stupid, lying bitch! Are you about to deny it again?" Gianna snapped, suddenly lunging at me. "You murderous, evil woma
QUINN POV The feeling of his lips against mine, I wasn’t sure if I would ever get used to it as he kissed me hungrily.I wasn’t sure if it was the alcohol from that night making my memories hazy, but this kiss felt different from the kiss we had in the car. This one was more full of passion and desire. I leaned against the balcony rail as I felt his lips on mine, so intense it felt like I might burst.It was pure passion. I moaned against his lips as his hands squeezed my breasts. They felt perfect in his hands, and I almost lost control as he played with my nipples, which were easy to reach because of the thin material of my dress.He flicked them gently, pinching them, making me gasp. As soon as I did, he slid his tongue into my mouth, fighting for control. I had never been kissed like this before. In fact, I had never been kissed by anyone until Alpha Perrin.Yes, my life had been that bad, but kissing like this made me realize I had missed out on so much when it came to intimacy.
QUINN’S POVMy heart stopped for a second. Did he really just ask me that? Heat rushed through my body so fast I thought I might pass out. The way he stood so damn close wasn’t helping either, his body heat, his scent, all of it messing with my head.“I asked you a question, Quinn…” His voice dipped low, almost teasing, almost dangerous. His eyes stayed locked on mine, unblinking, like he was daring me to look away.I swallowed. Holding his gaze felt impossible. It wasn’t just his ridiculously perfect face—it was him. His presence. The way he made me feel small and trapped, like I had nowhere to run even if I wanted to.“I… I don’t…” My voice barely came out.His hands found my waist. His fingers brushed over my skin, sending a shiver straight down my spine. And then he pulled me in one firm tug, just enough to make my chest press against his.Fuck. What was he doing?“Alpha Perrin…” His name barely made it past my lips, my voice weak, almost breathless. I knew there was no stopping h
