Every step, She took, brought her closer, the more she got closer, the more Zayne stepped backward until he felt His body, resting on the bed stand.“There is nowhere to run to” His heart pounded, and his gaze, rested on the approaching Quinn to know what her next action would be.“Are you saying it now, or I should ask the guards to put the chain back on your wrist” Quinn halted Trying so much to play along.As she was aware of how the chain was and didn’t want to use it on anyone but was just threatening Zayne to make him say what he knew can be done to save Lincoln.Zayne, moved his eyes round the room, the expression on the guard's faces emanating nothing but readiness as they awaited for Quinn to ask them to put the chain on him as they never wanted to remove it in the first place, before he returned his eyes to Quinn.While Quinn was trying so much not to allow her smile to appear on her face.She felt her heart, buttered up as she saw Zayne’s face, she could see he was scared
Quinn found her legs, glued to the ground She was expecting maybe a Ritual or cleansing for Lincoln and not for her to accept him.She could say she had forgiven him or was trying to forgive him, but there were some setting processes she yearned to happen before becoming Lincoln’s mate, like having some deep conversation with Lincoln, staring into his eyes on their mating day to have at least a little clue of how he felt about her and a whole other things, but now, it all wasn’t going to come through Lincoln was close to death,His heart wasn't heaving up and down to signify he was alive, his body, had been in the same spot it was since she came in.And that was breaking her heart into tiny portions Zayne smiled, then shook his head He knew Quinn might have difficulty in accepting that, so that was why he had been quiet wanting to make sure she wasn't aware so that she would not end up forcing herself to wake Lincoln.Also, the presence of Liam and the guards were the reason he was
In an open space in the wood, were Quinn, Zayne, Liam, a few important pack members, and Lincoln who was lying on a mat dressed in a white robe.Mere looking at his face, you could end up throwing, as it was pale with deep cuts.His mouth was whitish with cracks.Quinn, who was still putting on a white cloth but a gown, knelt on the mat, her gaze was fixed on the lifeless Lincoln.“He doesn't look as though he would wake up What if I end up becoming his mate, and he never wakes?Then I will end up becoming a widow till eternityMy life will be stuck with a dead man because he isn't awake to reject me” A lot of discouraging thoughts, filled her mind “The moon goddess, won't give me such a fate, would she? I have never done anything to wrong her.I never took people's pack, I have never driven people from their pack, I have been a good girl taking everyone as my own” she said in her heart to gather some encouragement as she might end up running out and never be mated to Lincoln.She
Liam shifted backward, praying in his heart that Quinn won’t shift into her wolf and tear him apart But On seeing her returned her attention to Lincoln, he decided to complete what he wanted to say before, besides, it was the truth. It was just that none of them, wanted to accept it.“Lincoln might not survive, so are you ready to become one with him even though he would never wake,” he said in one breath as he might not have the boldness to continue if Quinn gave him that glare again.Quinn felt a pang of pain in her chest, It was hard, that she didn't want to say anything, but she was also aware that she had to answer the question else, the mating ritual wouldn't be completed so with tears and catarrh dripping to her face, she responded “yes I am ready.I am ready to be by his side, I am ready to help him rule his pack whether he survives or not, but my heart's most desire is that he wakes”“By the power vested on me as the pack’s beta, I pronounce Lincoln Maverick and Quinn Jaxon a
She shoved the door aside, her gaze, piercing into Zayne’s soul, wanting to tear him apart, do a whole lot of things to him until her anger was calm but with what Lincoln was passing through, and the presence of some guards, she tried so much to calm herself.As the guards might start having some bad thoughts about her considering the fact that she was the reason Lincoln was in the condition he was and when he isn't close to waking up, she is already fighting someone else that might imprint something bad about her in the guard's heart, and she didn't want such a thing to happen.“I am Lincoln’s mate, and I am now the Luna of this pack. I need to make a good image henceforth not only to my mate but to the entire pack members” Zayne shifted a bit from the door, Quinn’s gaze was filled with so much anger, and he was so scared knowing what she was capable of doing but, he decided to go straight to the point he came to the room in the first placeAs one of the cooks had come to inform her
On seeing that Zayne was leaving, Quinn called him “beta” Zayne stopped, his back was still turned to her as he didn't bother turning to face her and at the same time, didn't want to disobey her by acting as though he didn't hear her and walking away.The guards were around, so that wasn't a good act. “Luna” he said in a bid to inform her he was all ears on whatever she wanted to say“I am so sorry that I said all those things to you, I was just concerned about the alpha and that is all am sorry it will never happen again” Quinn, who noticed he was just standing because she was higher than him in the pack apologized.She couldn’t blame him, as she was aware that she allowed the situation of things to take control of her.And at that moment, She was so angry with herself for allowing emotions to cloud her mind“All the help Zayne has rendered to me, putting his life in danger for my sake, how could I have forgotten them” she bites her lips in regret. “This man left his pack house, and
“Mark?Starved?” she asked with so much disbelief.“Yes, I was told, the alpha had ordered that no one in the cells should be giving food” the guard responded.He had been worried about his friend Mark, but since the order was from the alpha, he couldn't dare disobey or do anything to help Mark as that would give him a great punishment or an instant death so on seeing Quinn trying to walk out, he summoned the courage to tell her as she was officially the pack’s Luna and her orders, were as powerful as Lincoln beside, Mark found himself in the cell because of her, so he was sure she would do something about it.“Am sorry if I did wrong for saying it,” he quickly added when Quinn was silent for some time.“N- no” Quinn stuttered “You didn't do something wrong in fact, I really appreciate you for that,” Quinn said sincerely.As she was lost of what to say, that was why she kept quiet.“I need to see him, he is in there because of me, and it's my responsibility to make sure he is taken ou
The room was scattered beyond recognition as though there was a fight that took place in the room.But seeing her things still in the room, she took a few steps into the room. The wardrobe, has been pushed back, looking as though there was no hole, besides it.“This place needs cleaning.” she nodded, then walked out of the room. She instructed one of the guards at Lincoln's door to get the cleaners, which he rushed out to do instantly.Moments later, a few girls arrived with brooms, Dustpan, mops, and buckets that Quinn knew they were among the cleaners.“I need this room ready before nightfall, is that possible” She gazed at them “Yes, in less than two hours, we will be done” one of the cleaners, who Quinn assumed to be the leader or more experienced than the others, answered, gazing at the wall clock she said “It's a few minutes past noon so by three, you can be in the room” “Okay,” Quinn said before walking out, so they will do their work.She walked back to Lincoln's room, then
“She was attacked by a rogue. We were able to kill the wolf rogue, but she had already lost her life By then” Zayne explained “And the dead body?” he asked “Over there” Liam pointed beside the Bush while Lincoln followed his pointed finger.“The rogue is on its own Take her body, then bury in the wood as for that,” he points at the dead rogue, “Throw it away that's its punishment for killing the unharmed maid.The moon is coming out for the first time in this year this night and everyone should be out by 8:00 pm outside the pack house. I have something I am going to do” he said before walking into the pack house while the crowd, soon, disperse to their separate room.A few minutes past 8:00 pm, Lincoln walked out of his room He was dressed in purple rope and a black legging.“Is everything ready,” he asked on seeing Zayne at the door He had decided to forgive him since despite everything he had done, everyone forgave him and gave him another chance and that, he has extended to Za
Lincoln, alpha jaxon, and Quinn drove back to shadow pack.Lincoln made the guards release the alphas in cells and everyone held captive While everyone left to their pack.***Quinn was training in the field in Blue Moon pack when she noticed someone’s presence.“Who is there,” she asked, darting her eyes around.She was scared as she had been away from her pack for months now, and she wasn't aware of how the pack had been if it was now a den for evil creatures or bad wolves.They even had to do a whole lot of cleaning and weeding of grass before they were able to move into the pack houseBut she didn't show her fear just in case the person was an enemy so that, he or she, won't use it against her.She looked around trying to see if she could see of the guard, but none was around, so she decided to fight for her life all by herselfAs with her allowing her fear to take control of her, she might end up forgetting her wolf was a strong and powerful one.So taking a deep breath to cance
“Let me go,” Quinn said, but Lincoln refused. Instead, he pulled her closer and held her by the waist. “Quinn, I miss you,” he whispered in her ear. Their closeness caused a shiver to run down Quinn's back.She could feel her resolve breaking, and she bit her lips, not wanting to break her resolve. “Let me go,” she repeated.Lincoln pulled her closer to him as he knew that it was a matter of time before she gave in to him. He kissed the back of her ear and he felt how she shuddered in his arms.Her breathing became heavier, and he heard her heartbeat increase. “I’m truly sorry for all I have done,” Lincoln apologized softly, and Quinn felt her heart melt. Tears immediately formed, and she blinked as she didn’t want to cry. She didn’t want Lincoln to see her at her lowest again.She didn’t want him to know that he still affected her greatly; that she still loved him. Lincoln gently turned her to face him as he wanted to see her face. He cupped her cheeks and rested his head on her
Quinn tried her very best to hate the man, but she just was unable to do so. No matter how many mistakes he made, her stupid heart refused to let go of him.He was her mate, the man to whom she had unknowingly given a piece of her heart to. She would always love him regardless of how many mistakes he made, and now was one of those times which proved it.Despite her being his mate, he had the audacity to bring another girl into their home, knowing full well that she would be beyond hurt. Just how heartless was this mate of hers? And she knew she would still forgive him for this slap to her face. ‘Gosh, I’m such a fool for loving such a cruel man like him,’ she muttered to herself as she headed to his room to stop whatever was happening between her mate and that woman.On getting to Lincoln’s room, she didn’t even bother to knock as she barged into the room. “How dare you try to bring another woman into your bed while I’m still alive,” she yelled in anger.She was expecting to see Linc
“What do you think? That I will just forgive you?It doesn’t work that way Lincoln Maverick” She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, then pushed Lincoln away with all the strength she could muster “I won’t have anything against you, I will gladly be your Luna and give you all that you deserve if you can turn back the hands of time and reverse killing my father,” she said.She pushed the door of her room, which was slightly opened aside, then walked into the room.She pushed the door locked that she had to check if the door was about to fall out due to the loud sound.On seeing that nothing had happened to the door, she locked the door from the inside, then slowly crouched on her knees.She kept sobbing quietly until she heard a door jammed close, signifying Lincoln had gone back to his room.“Dad, what would you want me to do at this moment? Am confused. One moment I have forgiven him, then the next moment, the whole memory keeps flooding back and making me change my mind abou
Quinn, stood at the door as she didn't know of what to do, she kept mumbling prayers for Liam or Zayne to come to her rescue.The most confusing thing was that she did not know if he was happy or angry“Is he angry that I marked him without his permission?Is he happy that we are mates now, ?” Her mind was in a daze but one thing she could not dare do, was to open the door when she wasn’t sure what her take on this whole thing was.“Quinn, I just need an explanation! Open this door, or I will break it down” Lincoln yelled at the top of his voice.His voice attracted the pack’s workers who hid to watch what was about to happen while some, decided to go call the beta and gamma to help sort out the situation.“You think locking yourself in that room, will save your ass,” his laughter echoed “No, darling it wouldn’t save you from me never.You did this to my body, I almost lost my life, and before I woke, you placed your sticking teeth on my flesh and marked me. You will pay dearly for th
“Look, I don't know what is running through your mind, but listen, there is nothing going on between the Luna and me. It's an abomination, besides she is an alpha’s daughter and now the Luna of this pack but me, am a nobody, just a fighter who has nothing to his name so whatever it is that what you saw has imprinted in your head, you better get it off!” Mark shouted in a deep voice filled with intense warning.Lincoln was the alpha, and alphas are jealous and so protective of their mate and considering the mating consequence that has been making him fight with his younger brother, he was sure he would do the same thing his father did to the guard he was suspecting was having an affair with his mother, so he wasn't ready to face Lincoln's wrath not now, not ever.“And you think I will just believe that after seeing the way she hugged you?” Andrea asked, walking closer to him. His mouth was curved in a smile, but Mark was too focused on explaining Quinn was never stooping low to him tha
